AFFIRMATIONS
I am enough just being myself.
My worth is not determined by my productivity.
I embrace stillness and presence in my life.
My value lies in who I am, not just what I do.
Being present is a gift I give to myself.
I release the need to prove my worth through actions.
I find joy in the simple act of being.
My essence holds inherent value, beyond achievements.
Today, I choose being over doing.
I am human, and that is enough.
