My Favorite Quote

I have a few favorite quotes, so it's hard to pick just one. Most of them are affirmations that I have used for years.
One is an affirmation I learned from my own Life Coach, Stephanie Alva, a few years back. It says:

I am worthy of love simply because I breathe.

For years I suffered from low self-esteem. As I began to heal myself, I realized that I wasn't living to my fullest potential partly because I didn't realize my own worth. I was allowing myself to stay in toxic relationships and situations because I didn't know my value.

It took a little work... or let's call it effort (work sounds super hard). But I finally got it! Not only am I worthy of love. I am worthy of love, peace, happiness, abundance and anything else my heart desires.

But let me clear. There is nothing so spectacular that makes me worthy of these great things. I'm here. I'm breathing. And it my mere presence that affirms my worth.

I am beautifully and wonderfully made, and I am worthy... Simply because I breathe.

Saying things like I’m tired, I’m broke or other negative statements are a form of affirmation. You are what you say you are. This is why it is important to be cautious of what you think and say.

Be kind to yourself. Speak positive. Be positive.
