Magical Tip of the Week May 12, 2023

Feelings are Temporary.

I have been in therapy for years, but this week the most groundbreaking sentence was said to my by my therapist. She told me that feelings are temporary, but what we believe is long lasting. I have always had big, all-consuming feelings. I have a hard time separating my feelings from the feelings of those around me. I have a hard time coming back down after working myself up, but this small shift in thinking has truly helped. She made it very clear that my affirmations are my beliefs despite what I am feelings when I say them. I believe that I have peace, I am beautiful, I am abundant, I am loved, I am healthy, I am enough, and that I have genuine community. I tell myself these things regularly. I believe these things to be true, but I often feel things that challenge these beliefs. I sometimes feel frustrated or that I am lacking in some are, but that does not change my core belief that I have peace and I am abundant. I may feel at odds with a member of my community, but that does not make the community I surround myself with disingenuous. Our reality is based on our core beliefs. I challenge anyone that is looking to be more magical to try affirming themselves. Tell yourself that you are magical. Say it to yourself every day, write it down, and remind yourself of it whenever it crosses your mind. You may not feel magical, but you can believe it. When you believe it, it becomes your reality.
