Hello, Explorers!
I wanted to share a habit that has helped me to become a person with more patience, joy, compassion, and motivation. The daily practice of reciting positive affirmations has improved my energy, optimism, and helps in my self-healing. Happiness is a choice, although not always an easy one, you have full control over how you want to feel and act throughout your day.

During the hard times when you feel empty and broken, it is hard to lift your spirits. We can’t always rely on others to always be there for us when we need them, especially when it is on a day-to-day basis. The best we can do is dig deep within ourselves and find a way to nourish our mind, body, and soul. This can be achieved through self-care and positive affirmations.
