I used to wonder why affirmations didn’t work for me. I’d try saying things like “I am enough”… and almost immediately feel this wave of resistance or doubt. For a long time, I thought I was doing something wrong. But I figured out, those words were brushing up against deeper wounds; old beliefs shaped by moments in childhood where I didn’t feel fully seen, loved, or accepted. So if affirmations feel uncomfortable, it’s not a failure. It’s a signal. A part of you is saying: “This doesn’t match what I learned about myself growing up.” ✨ Affirmations aren’t just mindset tools, they touch on our emotional history, too. ✨ When old wounds get stirred up, gentleness matters more than repetition. ✨ It’s okay to start with what feels possible, not what feels perfect. Try saying: 🌼 Every day, I’m growing into someone who believes in their worth. 🌼 I can hold boundaries and still be loved. 🌼 There’s strength in showing up as my whole self. You don’t have to force it. Go slow. Honor wha...
