Conversation

Growing up the way I did, it was just kind of expected to put your feelings aside and push forward. That's just what you did in conservative and very religious household.

So for a long time I didn't put much stock in the idea of self affirmations because it just felt silly.

It wasn't until I started figuring out who I was outside of that context to realize how valuable affirmations are.

It is a wonderful practice to remind yourself you matter and you are capable.

Because you do and are.
