Trusting The Timing Of My Life
Welcome to my first affirmation journal!
Today, I learned how important it is to take daily affirmation first thing in the morning. I stumbled upon Kassandra’s 5 minute morning affirmation (here) and let me tell you, it is a game-changer especially if yoga and meditation are part of your lifestyle. I will tell you more about how and why I started to change my lifestyle in a later post. For now, I’m super excited to share this first daily affirmation that shifted my thoughts and elevated my mood throughout the day.
As I laid down on the mat and took my first deep breath, I cleared my head and listened carefully. I repeated each affirmation to myself twice and what struck me most was “I trust the timing of my life”. As I heard these words, I instantly felt a release and have tuned out the rest of the affirmations. As most of you do not know yet, I’m going through IVF Treatment which I will share with you later on, of course. Fact, IVF has taken a toll on me physically but mostly mentally. The process has been grueling and traumatizing. This affirmation triggered all the infertility issues I’ve been dealing with mentally but it made me feel so much better and more positive. As I cope and grieve the failure of the first IVF embryo transfer we’ve had, it has become clear to me that I need to learn how to trust and accept what is happening right at this moment instead of trying to dwell and change the flow of our journey.
As I listened to the calming sound of the music in the background, I came into a deep realization that each of the great moments that happened in my life may have taken some time but I am here now and living the best life I could imagine. I met the love of my life that I have prayed and cried for. A man that truly loves me, that wants to build a life with me, and most importantly a man that will love me unconditionally. We’ve created a life that may not be perfect but we stayed strong together in all obstacles that came our way. Love prevailed all the time through good and bad. The career I have been longing for….to be able to quit my 9-5 job and work as my own boss? To build my own brand and business? Oh, how long I’ve longed for this day to come, and here I am now living that dream. I’m living this life that I am taking for granted at this moment. All these blessings that I forgot because I am so focused on what I do not have right at this moment. I am where I should be at this moment. This is the time to care for myself, enjoy each day, nourish myself and prepare my body for a child. And I truly believe that this is God’s way of telling me and my husband that we need to build our relationship stronger, conquer every turbulence that comes our way to teach us, and prepare for children. I am truly grateful for today’s affirmation because this affirmation reminded me that as long as I have trust in how our life is unfolding that I can live more at peace and make this journey much easier for my mental health.
