Affirming Script:
“Today, I choose to let go of who I think I should be and embrace who I truly am. Today, I choose to release the weight of others opinions, my expectations for our family, this relationship, or even this holiday, accepting everything as it is. Today, I honor our strength and courage, knowing that no matter what happens, I can trust myself. I can trust us. I am enough, we are enough and we are better together. ”
