For this upcoming year, I’ve got my birthday affirmations lined up, and you know what, they’re not much different from last year’s.
1. I will enjoy getting a year older, wiser, and more complete.
2. I will practice even more self-love because I am whole and complete. Regardless of my age; regardless of how I look (or don’t look according to society) and regardless of my successes or failures. I am enough by being my perfectly imperfect self.
3. I will radiate and attract love, trust, and authenticity (less fake, or should I say even less fake).
4. I will stop taking shit from anyone that is not acting out of love, trust, and authenticity.
5. I will accept what is and trust in the greater plan.
6. I will retain my childhood curiosity, no matter how old I am, 45 is a perfect age to be curious about new things.
7. I will continue to look after my body, mind, and my soul. I will try to stay in balance, I will eat well, exercise, meditate, take deep breaths, and do what makes me happy. An extra point of attention, I want (need) to sleep more.
8. I will continue to make new memories every day, no matter how small. I will record them by making stories, by writing them down, by taking photos (or videos) to remind myself how lucky I am.
9. I will continue my beautiful journey into aging and inspire women with my project to show them the true beauty of aging.
10. I will connect to my tribe and have more meaningful, uplifting, and empowering relationships than ever before.
11. I will cherish my besties even more
because friends are the family we choose.
12. I will invest more time in personal growth and on letting go of old grief and loss from the past.
13. I will be the best mother I can be for my beautiful son because he deserves no less.
