We are taking an active journey together…one of peace and owning your inner light. While most meditations ask you to allow yourself to stop, in this journey, we will be active in our thoughts and own our inner light.

Change is the flow of life. It is the essence of life itself. We live and grow in seasons—the season of light and joy where grace and gratitude are born, the season of darkness and sorrow, where lessons are taught, and growth wraps its mighty presence around us in preparation for the moment we can and must spread our wings.

With every season, there is change. There is purpose. There is a rhythm we all have come to know and experience.

Today, I am offering myself kindness and respect. I am actively and attentively honoring my body as I move beyond body standards and embrace my physical form, as it has been, as it is now, and as it will be. From today forward, I pledge to speak words of affirmation to myself each time I look in the mirror. I promise to respect my reflection by feeding it healthy thoughts and emotions, as I know this is as important as the food, I fuel myself with, too. I have the power to love myself without the conditions those around me have asked me to own and without the standards of anything I’ve been taught or told, and today I’m actively making this choice. I acknowledge that loving myself and the vehicle I have while on this earth is sometimes messy, and yet, from now on, I give the best of myself to honor the girl I am, from the outside in and vice versa. And if I mess up, take a sidestep, think or act out of alignment with this new frame of thought, I know I can start over right in the here and now.
