June Affirmations 2026

“Ignorance is not knowing anything and being attracted to the good. Innocence is knowing everything, and still being attracted to the good.” -Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Ph.D.

There is no escaping the dark truths of this world, of this human experience. Especially now. Lately though, I’ve been reaching for my innocence, my softness - I’ve been gathering up handfuls of the quiet joy that shows up as kindness. I’ve been making mental corrections and committing myself to the intention of showing up in a very particular way - sweet. It’s a bit laughable to Me how difficult this can be, though my ability to laugh at it is, perhaps, its own sign that I’m doing something right here.

I can be a bit radical - I have a lot of opinions about a lot of things, and by default, I believe I’m right. I believe I’m on the side of things that is fair and just, I believe that what matters to Me should matter to everyone. And maybe that is right, but who do I become in the face of those who think differently? Whether they just don’t feel the same or they haven’t yet come to my same conclusions, I’ve been bearing witness to the version of Me that I offer to those people, and I can’t say I like Her.

I’ve come around to being able to do things I don’t particularly enjoy for the sake of their necessities, but that’s not a space where I’m able to make that make sense. I don’t Love the way I feel when I’m judging someone, and it doesn’t feel necessary either. I realize that I can know what I know, believe what I believe, and hold myself to my standards around those beliefs without positioning myself above those who don't. Obviously, there are variables here - there are some areas of disagreement that should result in choosing to not share space with certain folks, but even that is sweeter than sharing space just to let someone know I think they’re a piece of shit (for a lack of better words).

The point is, in the world and in our connections, it can be easy to close our eyes to everything that upsets us; I’m coming to find that a better, even sweeter, option is to choose the good in Me, and allow that to guide my responses. I am not irresponsible for knowing all I know and choosing goodness anyway.

Here are some affirmations as I navigate this work:

I choose how I show up in the world.

I make a conscious effort to contribute Love and kindness.

Despite all that is deemed bad, I intend to experience goodness.

I am committed to my enjoyment.

I can create space for what needs to change without taking in negativity.

I give a variation of Love to everyone I come across.

I am the peace the world needs.

If You made it this far, let Me know that any of this makes sense. Everything I write is for Me first, but I can usually see clearly how it may resonate with others. This - not so much - it feels like a personal journal entry and I'm really impressed with myself for creating any affirmations out of this message, at all lol. Anyway, I Love You - Happy June!
