Bravery doesn’t always look like battling dragons or saving the world. Showing up for ourselves is just as courageous!

A part of growing up includes managing our feelings and deciding how they affect our actions. The cool thing about us is that we have the power to control our outlook.

We all deserve necessities like a loving family, healthy meals, and access to a great school. But we are also worthy of experiences or things we desire. Our wishes make our lives vibrant!

Something or someone will always demand our attention. We spend so much time giving ourselves to others that it’s easy to forget our own importance. Today, we’ll be reciting affirmations to remind ourselves of our own importance in this world.

What we see on our TV or tablet screens can impact the way we perceive ourselves. We sometimes fall into the trap of comparing our exterior to someone we don’t look like, and that can hurt our self-esteem. Today’s affirmations are about loving ourselves unconditionally. All bodies come in different sizes, shapes, and colors, and ours are perfect just the way they are.

We can always feel our best when we are supported by safe surroundings. Knowing there is a friend or comfortable place to retreat to gives us the reassurance to keep having fun.

With all the learning and fun we have, we sometimes forget to give our minds and body a rest. In order to grow more, we must give ourselves time to recharge our brains and bodies.

Our bodies and our brains work together as a team. When people say nice things about us, it makes us feel good. We can create that same feeling just by saying nice things to ourselves! Today’s affirmations remind us to think good thoughts.

Want to know a secret? There’s nothing we can’t handle! Any dream we want to achieve, we can. Any obstacle we choose to face, we can overcome.

When we’re face to face with something scary, like a daunting test or a giant roller coaster, our spirit may falter. However, we can look back to the moments that make us feel brave and work through our fright.

Happiness is a sensation we all deserve to feel. No matter how many mistakes we make, we’re still worthy of feeling good about ourselves and our lives. Today’s affirmations are about allowing ourselves to experience joy. You’ve earned it just by being YOU!
