November Affirmations 2026

“All my diamonds shine ‘cause they really diamonds.” -Kevin Gates

So, a few weeks ago, I was sitting on the phone with my Best Friend, Dayna. What I’m remembering as out of the blue, She began reciting those lyrics: “all my diamonds shine ‘cause they really diamonds”. Had that not hit Me the way it did, causing Me, weeks later, to look up and reacquaint myself with the song, I would have gone the rest of my days remembering that as a T.I. song. Either way. I don’t remember the mental state I was in at the time, but considering how I’ve been feeling, I think I was feeling something then that’s only grown since. It’s been a wacky retrograde period, man.

Nonetheless, what I took from that moment rings even truer now. I got so excited by the lyric because I remembered that diamonds are brought to form using pressure. Now, this is tricky territory for Me. I’ve been historically resistant to the common pressures of life, discipline, hard times, hard work. I’ve been fearful of calling those things in. Turns out though, when You’ve been thrown in the pressure cooker anyway (as we all are at times), this is an extremely comforting thought.

When things feel uncertain and rough, when I’m feeling anxious at the unknown and my lack of perceived control; I think of my diamonds. When it all shakes out and I realize that beneath the surface, right outside of my direct control, everything was working out for Me even better than I could have ever imagined. I believe we are all inherently deserving of good things, Love, abundance. You better believe, though, after a period of confusion, sickness, low energy, depression, lack, whatever it may be - when those diamonds come to form, when they peek out to be noticed, that’s even more reason to pop your shit!

I’m in a “breathe through it” season, as I write this. Sometimes I look around, lock eyes with the invisible documentary cameras and say “what the fuck is going on?”. Then I go back to breathing. Because that’s all we can do sometimes. Sit in the often uncomfortable stillness until we are moved to action, then take that action, make it happen. Whatever it is, show up, don’t let hard times be for nothing. Let them give You the perspective You need to notice and show off your diamonds.

And when my diamonds continue to come in, I’ll know they’re real because of the pressure I’ve felt. I’ve been made to grow, to heal, I’ve been molded into a person who knows a diamond when I see it. Everything I experience matters, even the experiences I didn’t want (She said behind gritted teeth).

Here are some affirmations:

I notice and enjoy all that I’ve earned.

I choose to gain something good from every hard moment.

I am divinely protected as life unfolds as it should.

I offer the diamonds of my wisdom to the world around Me.

I allow bitter moments to make Me even sweeter.

I am protected when under pressure.

Every moment in my life matters.

Sending You all so much Love into November. All is truly well.
