Since I started the week feeling pretty down, I wanted the end it with some positivity. Daily affirmations are a great way to change your mindset and eliminate any negatives thoughts.

Today’s affirmation: I am focused. I am in alignment. I am unstoppable.

I had to really put these words to the test before I even started writing this post. My coworker messaged me asking If I could I do him a favor. Well, this favor involved public speaking. He asked me to speak at an event hosted by the mayor of San Francisco.

I was thinking, “Who can I ask to do this in my place?” I normally shy away from public speaking outside of work because it makes me nervous.

Funny thing is, I’m not shy at all. I’m a dancer and I’ve performed in front of over 1,000 people. But there is something about speaking that pulls me out of my comfort zone.

Before I gave him the name of someone else who I thought would be a good fit, I came back to my affirmation. I often pray that God will use me as a vessel, so when he presents new opportunities I have to respond accordingly. Ultimately, I said yes. Now I need to prepare and pray that my nerves don’t get the best of me.

I am focused. I am in alignment. I am unstoppable.
