Ritual of the Week
Mirror Affirmation Ceremony: Monday
Begin your Monday with presence and power. Stand tall in front of the mirror… take a slow, intentional breath… and lock eyes with your reflection. Then, say three bold affirmations aloud:
“I am focused. I am fearless. I am moving forward.”
Let each word land, not just in your mind, but in your body. This isn’t just self-talk, it’s self-programming. This 60-second ritual wires your brain for clarity, courage, and action. It tells your subconscious: “I’m not just showing up, I’m leading the day.”
Do it every morning this week, and watch how quickly your inner script and your outer momentum begins to shift.
