Affirmation af·firm·a·tion - the state of being affirmed.

To know affirmation is to own affirmation. Owning an idea with confidence keeps you moving forward. Essentially you are declaring what feels real to you. The word real takes on different meanings for different people. Is real what feels the most comfortable or is it the reality you are pursuing? Or is it both? Your reality is a thread that connects your brain to your heart. Think of it as a road that you’ve traveled many times over. You can envision each turn, each bump and each passing road sign. There’s a sense of comfort in that experience. Your reality is what is directly in your view and directly in your heart.

5. Which emotional connection feels the most whole?

6. You have now reached a point of affirmation.

Let's Improve:

All of your emotional connections are waiting for further discovery. There is a reason you listed them. Take a moment to think through these emotions and be open to the connections you are feeling most pulled toward. You should feel an overwhelming sense of comfort in the connections you choose.

Listening allows us to fully see our future, but impatience prevents us from leaving the present.
