this week's affirmation is…

i deserve vulnerability, je mérite la vulnérabilité

everyone deserves the space to be vulnerable

embracing vulnerability is a powerful and courageous act, that allows you to connect with yourself and others on a deeper level

it's a fundamental aspect of self-care and personal growth

recognizing and honoring your own vulnerability means acknowledging your authentic self, with all your strengths and imperfections

by allowing yourself to be vulnerable, you open the door to self-discovery, self-acceptance, and meaningful connections with others

remember, vulnerability is not a sign of weakness but rather a testament to your strength and resilience

it takes courage to be open and honest about your thoughts and feelings

so, give yourself the permission to be vulnerable, and recognize that it's a vital part of your journey toward self-discovery

enjoy...
