- I am enough. I have enough. I do enough.
- I am me. Every day.
- Not who I think others expect me to be,
- But the real, unedited, beauty-full, perfectly flawed version.
- I choose to think for myself.
- I speak my truth
- And wrestle with life's tough questions over and over again.
- I daydream about a better world and strive to make it my reality.
- My purpose drives me
- And I give it the freedom to change and evolve.
- I breathe life to my dreams and to the dreams of others.
- I believe in magic, I look for it everywhere.
- I make an adventure of ordinary things.
- Create, imagine, reinvent, and get lost.
- I do things that inspire me.
- I defy the odds, raise my hand, sit at the table and lean in.
- I refuse to give up.
- I pursue my passion at all costs. I do things that terrify me.
- My head dances among the stars, and my feet remain on mother earth.
- I'm willing to ask the hard questions, to take chances, to love with my whole heart.
- My mistakes and failures make me stronger.
- I do not ascribe my worth to external validation, but to my character.
- I surround myself with phenomenal people.
- Especially ones who don't always agree with me.
- I choose authenticity over perfection.
- I appreciate the small details that tend to go unnoticed by others.
- My worth is innate and immeasurable. I try to remind myself of that, daily.
- I exercise patience as often as possible,
- Stay vulnerable even when I want to close my heart
- And practice coexisting with things that make me uncomfortable.
- I set boundaries, work to honor them,
- And am willing to edit people out of my life who don't.
- I walk more than a mile in other people's shoes,
- And suspend judgment as long as humanly possible.
- I remember to laugh more, stress less, forgive often, and inject love everywhere I can.
- I do my best to relinquish every ounce of control because it's futile.
- I throw my hands up, close my eyes, and
- Revel in life's awesome and mysterious ride.
- My emotions are fleeting, they do not define me.
- My choices do, and I do my best to make good ones.
- I feed my body good, whole foods,
- But don't punish myself for the occasional indulgence.
- I move my body every day. I stretch, challenge, and honor her.
- I rest when I need to.
- I don't accept every invitation that comes my way.
- I practice saying "no."
- Show myself kindness, compassion, and unconditional love.
- I am my best friend, I'm proud of me.
- I share my life's lessons with others, even the not so shiny ones.
- I hold nothing back. Cry when I need to.
- But also recognize when I need to buck up.
- I remember to breathe and in that space, I find my calm among the chaos.
- I owe it to myself to be remarkable, so I am.
