Monday is over, and we are onto another day, which we should feel optimistic about because we are getting closer to the weekend. Tuesday will be a good day, and if you do not believe it, continue to repeat this to yourself until it becomes a reality. Repetition can be convincing or at least that is what some people seem to think, even when they are lying. I hope your week has started the best way possible and everything is going well. Can you believe April is almost over? We have nearly survived four months of this year, and I can only hope the year improves as it has been challenging, but there have been some amusing parts to it as well. The things I have found amusing I know some people will not agree, so I will not call them out, but we should always try to find something that can make us laugh daily. Honestly, some of what makes me laugh makes me feel like a terrible person, but if I do not laugh at these issues, I worry it will be very depressing, and no one needs anything else to add to depression and sadness.

Life can feel like an ocean. Many peaceful waves can soothe the heart and soul, but there are strong currents that can make you feel like you are drowning. Instead of dwelling on those strong currents, we should embrace the peaceful waves and hold on to how they made us feel. The hard times in our lives are only more rapid waters trying to consume our thoughts and cause us to feel negativity, but we can fight against them and know these currents will pass. Every part of life, good or bad, will provide us with strength and the knowledge to overcome anything. All the knowledge to overcome difficulties is inside us, but we forget them. Allowing the difficulties to consume our thoughts and minds will only push us further into the drowning waters. Use your strength to be far away from negativity, and positivity will carry you to better days. Situations we endure in life are not permanent, and we must remember that life can get better.

Today is a new day, and I would like to continue with the positive affirmations. I want to try doing three a day and stay true to them. I hope you will do this as well, and again, you do not have to share your positive affirmations if you do not feel comfortable doing so. My three positive affirmations for today are the following. 1. I am in charge of how I feel today, and I am optimistic. 2. My soul radiates warmth, love, and compassion. 3. I know my worth. These are affirmations I must remember and will remind myself of because I have not felt the best about myself lately. My heart and mind say I know better, but sometimes it is easy to get down because finding a new job takes forever. I guess it does not help finding a job that I need something remote, and starting in less than a month, I will need to be available two nights a week for my class. I was reminded on Monday by someone I respect things will happen for me. If someone I have never met has faith in my abilities, the least I can do is have faith in myself, right?

Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope you enjoyed the quote I shared and my positive affirmations. In this thing we call life, we must do things that bring us happiness because no one can make us happy besides ourselves. If journaling, reading, thinking of positive affirmations, or anything else makes us happy, we should not shy away because life is too short to be miserable, and sometimes the simple things can make a huge difference. One thing I think should be avoided to stay happy is avoiding the news because nothing good ever happens, according to the new anchors. Please never forget I am always sending y’all LOTS of love, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes!

Always, Alyssa
