The idea of failure is a theme that has been emerging within my practice and in my own life. Failure is part of the human experience, and the fear of failing often propels us to keep moving forward. Over this past year, failing seems like a prerequisite to living. The pandemic has tested every one of us, creating challenges that we could never have expected. I have seen so many individuals tackle these obstacles head-on, but amidst this struggle comes deep feelings of failure.

In this video, I demonstrate positive affirmations with movement. An affirmation is a positive statement that helps us feel better about ourselves, clarify goals, overcome negative self-talk, and empowers us to make changes. When we add movements to the affirmations, we connect the mind and body, making the affirmations more powerful, which helps shift our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Practice these affirmations and then create your own! Encourage your kids and partners to give it a try as well.
