What is a affirmation?
Anybody? What’s up?
When you, um,
you know, you affirm yourself and speak positive things.
Yes. So an affirmation,
it has the root word of firm.
So when we do an affirmation,
we are affirming something.
We are speaking positively into ourselves
and speaking positively over our lives.
Can I do an affirmation with you guys real quick?
Yeah. I said,
can I do an affirmation with you guys real quick? Yeah.
Alright, so I need you guys to repeat after me,

Is that cool? Yeah. Yeah.
Are you guys gonna repeat after me?
Yeah. Now, look,

You can’t just say,

Okay? Okay.
I repeat after me. Today is a new day.
Today is a new day. Today is a good day.
Today is a good day. I will be strong.
I will be strong. I will be bold.
I will be bold. I will be great.
I will be great. Forgive ourselves.
Forgive ourselves of the air.
Yesterday are the days of yesterday.
