The average person has over 50,000 thoughts a day. That equates to an average of 200 thoughts per minute. Plenty of time for your old story to take hold of your narrative and play out on autopilot and bringing into your life the less than desired results you seek. This is where affirmations can help.

Your self-concept is the foundation of your beliefs. What you think of yourself is tied up in your “value statements”, and a negative mindset can undermine and limit or delay the abundance you are here to experience.

For nearly 2 decades, she was forced into a perpetual lockdown due to her illness. Just before she passed, she was in the hospital for a procedure. We talked at length on the phone. It was almost as if she knew she wasn’t coming out of this. It was there in the hospital she contracted COVID.

My point is… I thought I was woke! I was so fucking disillusioned. I didn’t know myself- only what I thought people thought of me is how I labeled and identified myself. I was living a life that was what I perceived what others perceived of me and how I wanted them to think of me and how I wanted them to regard me. It was shrouded in niceties and illusions.

The more I revealed about myself, honestly, to myself, the deeper I wanted to delve in. Suddenly, the beautiful melodramatic and lurid aspects of my personality didn’t seem so shocking. I chose to own it all, not disown it. Not be afraid to desire it, indulge in it, share in it. Why hide it away?
