Affirmation:
Within the acceptance of an open heart,
I embrace the resiliency of my body.
Mindful Moment:
A cold burst of wind may tumble the leaves, but I can withstand the push.
Not because I am stiff like a metal pole.
No, rather, I am flexible like bamboo.
I am determined to travel like a raindrop on a window in the Autumn rain.
A flow strengthened to withstand gusts.
A flow drawing strength from center, from my authentic core.

Questions to ask your Akashic Records:
What brings me to be more flexible in my life?
How does my strength serve my ability to be resilient?
What does my heart have to say to me about withstanding the unexpected push?
When I open my heart, what self-acceptance am I able to embrace?
The human capacity for burden is like bamboo – far more flexible than you’d ever believe at first glance.
Jodi Picoult
I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.
