Affirmation, affirmation, affirmation

I tell myself affirmations to get me through my day sometimes. I cling onto my words because I want to be the biggest believer of myself when impostor syndrome, stressors and nay-sayers cloud my vision. This blog gives me clarity for me to think and re-think about my decisions and actions of my daily life. It's a raw way of giving myself advice as I learn about myself even more so and challenge my thinking. I know that this month has not been an easy month for me and I don't want to paint an illusion that I am 100% on top of things and I know every little thing I am doing... Because I don't. I have been challenged this month, financially, mentally and emotionally and I don't want to make anyone believe that my journey to Austin, TX has been easy. In the low moments of my stay, I affirmed myself constantly, saying the smallest comments in my mind, "It's going to be okay. It's going to be okay." It's what keeps me going is trying to believe in myself constantly and continuously that allows me to continue to achieve any goal that I have for myself. I've always been intricately motivated, which has always helped my determination. This is just the beginning of my affirmation journey as I begin and continue my journey throughout graduate school.
