5 Affirmations To Remember for 2023

“The only person better than ME is the ME I’m yet to be”

Yes, Goddess. Don’t ever let anyone tell you they’re better than you. There’s no such thing. We’re all good at different things, we’re all unique and we all bring different qualities to the table. Anyone who believes they’re better than anyone/everyone is simply living in an illusion.

The only person you should compete with is yourself, because no one will ever be better at being you, than you.

“It doesn’t matter how big my step forward is, as long as I’m moving forward”

Boss babes don’t measure each other up. We don’t place value on people we care about or those around us. We understand that life gives everyone a different hand, and because of that, we experience things differently. 

Someone might have deep pockets but their emotional maturity might be similar to that of a child. Whilst another might have financial challenges but the character depth and complexity of a grimdark novel.

Point is, it doesn’t matter how slow or fast you’re achieving your goals. What matters is that you’re pursuing them. Not many people follow their dreams; they make the wrong choice and follow others.

“Joy doesn’t come from the outside, it comes from within”

Loneliness is something many people struggle with, but not everyone wants to own up to it. It’s natural, it doesn’t make anyone weak.

When we search for happiness and joy, we shouldn’t expect to find it from other people. We should find it in ourselves first. Joy comes from us doing what we love, from being around people who genuinely care about us and from having values that build harmony.

I see a lot of people waiting for someone to make them happy. The truth is, if someone can’t make themselves happy, no one else ever will. It won’t last. 

Goddesses take their lives by the reins. We need to be in charge of our own happiness without making excuses. It’s easy to blame the world, but Goddesses don’t do ‘easy’.

“Obstacles are a chance to build a new road”

People often look at obstacles like it’s the end of the world. I get it, life can be hard on everyone. And sometimes, challenges pop out of nowhere making life even more difficult. 

We shouldn’t look at our obstacles as only problems though. Obstacles are also an opportunity for us to grow and consider the world differently. It is often through these challenges that we are pushed; it’s how we see our own strength and willpower. The more challenges we face and overcome, the easier it is for us to deal with future challenges.

“Respond, don’t React”

As we go through life, let us remember that it’s how we respond to situations (not react) that influences our power. Reacting is acting on impulse, and that’s never healthy in any situation. Responding is a conscious decision, it means we know what is happening and we have chosen how to proceed.

This is a good mantra to have especially when dealing with toxic people. Sometimes people will try to provoke or make you angry; don’t give them the satisfaction. It’s a harsh truth of this world but there will always be people out there that don’t like us for simply being ourselves. We shouldn’t stoop down to their level, in any way. We should maintain our composure and continue being confident in our power.

When a situation becomes overwhelming, and you feel like there is no answer. I suggest taking a power nap. When you wake up, you will have a clearer mind and it will allow you to look at everything  before making a decision that you might regret.
