I'm aiming to help you start your week off right with this morning's recording. I'm sharing candid in-the-moment thoughts about self-compassion and the importance of not beating ourselves up over unfulfilled daily goals. Speaking from around my apartment as I start my day, I'm musing on a message about giving ourselves grace in a world that can often feel draining. The episode culminates in a series of uplifting affirmations focused on self-love, personal worth, and embracing both our strengths and weaknesses. This is a gentle reminder that sometimes just waking up and handling immediate needs is enough of an accomplishment.Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ahyiana.angelTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@ahyiana.angel
