An October Affirmation For Every Birth Month

October has a way of making you want to surrender. With the year winding down, the mood becomes more reflective. Some of your dreams have probably come true, while others have been carefully set down in in service of some greater and more mysterious plan. 

With only a few weeks left in the year, it’s a time to look back and be grateful, rather than fixate on regrets. October is a natural point of recalibration in the calendar year. The earth is in a period of retreat. Though the winter can be challenging, it’s a time of psychological and spiritual toil that always bears good fruit in the end, as long as you wait long enough for the light to return. 

In the meantime, here are some words of affirmation. They’re yours for the taking. A little encouragement goes a long way, and sometimes, a simple reminder is enough to shift your perspective.
