Hello Gorgeous Goddess! Yes, I’m talking to you Queen. Yes, You sexy thang you. Yes, You smart thang you! Mmmmmmhmmmm, you Queen make my heart leap out of my chest. I’m falling so deeply in love with you and the dynamic, phenomenal, amazing, powerful, unstoppable, unapologetic woman you are becoming.
Now, let’s speak some affirmations into the different areas of your life because you deserve it all. You deserve to be happy in every way. Black woman, be everything you were created to be!
1 - THE PHYSICAL DIMENSION
Honey, let me tell you something. Your body is beautiful just that way it is. You were given that exact body, every inch, every curve or lack of one, every stretch mark, every scar, every pore is uniquely yours; you alone know how to take care of it, that’s why you have YOUR body. Strut that stuff girl, shake dat ass, throw dat ass in a circle!
I love my body. She is strong. She is powerful. She is healthy. I will do my best to take care of my body. I will do my best to appreciate my body in all stages of my life. I will do my best to listen to my body and feed it what it needs for optimal function and vitality. I WILL NOT feel guilty or ashamed when I miss some of the goals I have set for my body. I love my body.
And another thing, your vagina is amazing too. Yeah, Imma talk about her AND Imma talk about sex because we don’t talk about it enough. Imma say it again because I don’t think you heard me the first time.
Imma talk about her AND Imma talk about sex because we don’t talk about it enough. Your Yoni, love her, cherish her; she is stronger than you think. From her life comes. AND you fucking deserve to have spine tingling pleasure and back breaking, leg shaking orgasms every day (or how ever often you feel you need. No judgment if you not getting your freaky freak on every single day. It be them days sometimes.)
I love my vagina. She is strong. She is powerful. She is healthy. I will do my best to take care of my vagina. I will do my best to pleasure my yoni by myself.

2 - THE EMOTIONAL DIMENSION
Your emotional intelligence is off the charts baby! You are so in tune with your emotions. You deserve to feel ALL of the emotions available to you whether, happy, sad, and even angry. Don’t allow them motherfuckers to make you feel some type of way about being “an angry black women”. Bitch, I might be! and so fucking what if I am. I’m so proud of you for practicing self care and stress management and mediation. Yassssss!
