Summer Reflections: Freedom, Growth, and Abundance

Each season brings gifts and opportunities for growth as we journey through the year.

June 20 marks the beginning of the summer season in the northern hemisphere. Summer themes include freedom, optimism, growth, and abundance.

Suggestion:

Create a powerful affirmation or two (short, positive statements) that align with the themes of the summer season.

Here are a few examples:

  • Freedom: I am free to choose what is best for my own life.
  • Optimism: I expect the best for my life.
  • Growth: I surround myself with people who want to see me grow.
  • Abundance: I am blessed beyond measure.

Begin and end each day with your affirmation.

Morning: State your affirmation out loud. Write it down three times in a journal or notebook. Sit with it for a few minutes. Repeat your affirmation throughout the day.

Evening: Reflect on your day in the context of your affirmation. Were your thoughts, words, and actions aligned with your affirmation? Write about your day in your journal or notebook.

Summer invites us to embrace growth, welcome freedom, and open ourselves to abundance in ways that feel true to who we are. The affirmations shared here are simply starting points, sparks to inspire your own words of intention. Let this season be an invitation to pause, reflect, and name what growth, freedom, and abundance mean to you. Use that clarity to shape affirmations that speak to your own path.

Reflect on Your Year: The Power of Gratitude

It’s been a tough year, to say the least. It may be difficult to see your blessings through all of the challenges, but they are there. If you keep a gratitude journal, take time to review and reflect on what you have captured over the course of the year. If you don’t have a gratitude journal, take time to reflect on the past year and note whatever you consider to be gifts, blessings, or life lessons.

Questions for reflection:

  • Who or what was my greatest blessing?
  • What did I learn? How did I grow?
  • How was I a blessing to others?

Gratitude is the key to creating a joy-filled and abundant life. Giving thanks for everything that has been provided to you will increase your appreciation for your life and help you cultivate a mindset of abundance that will take root and blossom in your life.

Wishing you peace and abundant blessings.
