Affirmations for ReleasingBreathe these in and allow them to land softly in your body:
  • I release the grip of the past and I choose the freedom of this moment.
  • Every year I have lived has given me something I could not have learned any other way.
  • I am not behind; I am exactly where my journey has brought me and I am ready.
  • I forgive myself for the things that I did not know that I understand now.
  • I carry my history with me, not as a weight, but as a wisdom.
The 3 Daily Caring Tips
  1. The Small Ceremony: Write down one thing you are choosing to release today. Draw a line through it to stop it from running in the background of your mind.
  2. Gift of Knowledge: Spend five minutes reflecting on yourself from ten years ago. What would you tell them? That wisdom is a hard-won gift.
  3. Active Becoming: Remember that at any age, you are still becoming. One small act of courage is all it takes to keep moving with the river.
