Nurturing Affirmations for the Monthly Bleed
It is okay if all I do today is bleed
What I do not accomplish today, I can attempt tomorrow
I give myself a pass and allow myself to take it easy
It is okay to rest
I am gentle with myself as my body regenerates
I relax, release, and allow as I celebrate my bleed
I am in flow with the divine feminine
I shed and release past patterns, cycles, and karmic relationships
I release entanglements and reclaim my sovereignty
I allow my emotions to flow freely without judgement
I am worthy and enough just as I am
I lovingly nurture my body and honor my needs
