Tomorrow will be a beautiful new day filled with amazing opportunities. When I go to sleep tonight my body, my mind, and my soul will be rejuvenated so when I awake tomorrow, I will be refreshed and open to enjoying all of the amazing adventures that await me.
This is my nightly affirmation.
Today was a rough day, but I look forward to tomorrow. I look forward to all the wonderful conversations, all the enlightening interactions, all the amazing experiences.
Today's conversations and experiences happened for a purpose. But as I head home I will be free from it.
I am at peace with this day.
I choose to release this day. And do nothing but eagerly look forward to the joys that tomorrow will bring.

Fake It 'Til You Make It
Sometimes your mind can be a hard thing to change once it’s already been set on one particular scenario. But there is a trick that has been utilized (with success) for quite some time called ‘fake it ’til you make it’.
In order to ‘fake it’, you need to continue reminding yourself that something other than what your mind believes will happen can happen.
For instance, if you believe that you are destined to live a life of misery and pain, you are destined to live a life of misery and pain. However, each time your mind wants to tell you that you’re destined to live a life of misery and pain, tell yourself that you are destined for greatness. You are destined to live a fulfilling and complete life. You are destined to experience joy in every facet of your life.
Tell yourself that happiness is your birthright.

All Is Well. Always.
Over the past few weeks, a new perspective has been revealed.
At some point, worry had ensued, and at times, panic. But after taking a few deep breaths and a gentle reminder that all is well, the problems are resolving themselves.
So, when you’re faced with something that seems troubling or as if a problem doesn’t have a solution, gently remind yourself that all is well. Always.
So affirm today, and whilst you are in the midst of a storm that in very situation, all is well. Always.

Emotional Detachment
After recently finding myself in a space of emotional detachment, I was moved today to really consider the effects of this state. What are the positive aspects of being emotionally detached from a person or a situation? What are the negative aspects, if any?
Emotional detachment refers to the act of disengaging from a dependent relationship with a person, thing or event. It is developing and maintaining a safe, emotional distance or boundary from someone or something that you had previously given a lot of power to affect you. It is a state of "checking out" emotionally.
In this state, you are no longer affected by the outcomes of the actions or decisions of another. You release it. You are totally unaffected.
Does this mean that you don't care? Of course not. It simply means that you care more about your healthy survival than an unhealthy existence.
Will you ever regain that emotional connection? Possibly. Only time will tell.
But until you get that answer, reconnect with yourself. Be emotionally available to yourself. Love yourself. Appreciate who you are. Be concerned about no one but you. Be present and acknowledge the beauty and perfection of you.
Live today for no one but you.
