Dear friends,

With the rising temperatures and changing schedules, the summer season is upon us! I always loved summertime as a kid, it felt so lighthearted, careless, and free.

Even though life doesn’t always allow us that same sense of childlike joy, it is possible to conscientiously cultivate a mindset to better set ourselves up for difficulty from the inside out.

It’s easy to get caught up in the challenges of life; thoughts seem to multiply especially if they are of worry, anxiety, and unease. One of my favorite ways to remember to see the good in life is by incorporating positive affirmations into my day. We think thousands of thoughts every single day, ask yourself, how many of these thoughts are helpful, positive, or guiding you towards where you want to go.

Affirmations are just happier thoughts, and a way to cultivate more of what we want in our minds. We have no control over what thoughts come into the mind, but we have 100% control over which thoughts we will allow to occupy space. So we can use affirmations every day to help us to cultivate the life and mindset that we truly wish to have.

With that in mind, I want to share with you these affirmations for summertime that I’ll be happily using. Take a look at the list, feel free to rewrite them to make them your own, and try them out!

1. Fun is purposeful and meaningful in my life.

2. It’s okay for me to relinquish control and go with the flow.

3. I am present and at peace with what surrounds me.

4. I am excited for all of the creative possibilities to enter my life.

5. I welcome ease and peace into my life.
