The Coloring Affirmation — A Tiny Morning Ritual for Heavy Days Visual Idea: soft painterly photo of a steaming mug, open coloring page, and bright crayons scattered — warm pink, orange, purple glow. Pick your favorite crayon. Every line you color, whisper a truth: I’m safe. I’m healing. I’m allowed to take my time. It doesn’t need to look pretty. You’re not making art — you’re making space for your mind to breathe. So, while your coffee’s half gone and your heart feels a little lighter, remember: that’s the work working. Not perfection. Not pretending. Just presence.

I'm setting up the classroom area, and I hope you ladies will love it when you see it.

Today’s Journaling Prompt: “What’s the first thought that tried to control my morning — and do I want to believe it?” 💬 Raw Truth Lesson Let’s be real — anxiety doesn’t always start with panic attacks. Sometimes it starts with one quiet thought the moment you open your eyes. That whisper that says: “You’re already behind.” “You should’ve done more.” “Here we go again.” Before your day even begins, your thoughts already want to lead you into overthinking. But here’s the truth — you don’t have to believe every thought that walks into your mind. That first thought is often fear dressed like logic. It’s your brain trying to protect you from pain, but it ends up trapping you instead. So pause. Ask yourself — do I want to believe this today? If not, you have the power to rewrite it. 🦋 Your Reflection Space Take a deep breath, grab your journal, and write: - What was my first thought this morning? - How did it make me feel — heavy, rushed, scared, numb? - Do I want to believe it? - If not, what truth will I choose instead? 🖊 Example: “My first thought was ‘I don’t want to deal with today.’ I felt pressure and sadness. My truth: I can take today one step at a time. I don’t have to handle it all at once.” ☕️ Butterflii Haven Reminder: You’re the pilot of your morning — not your thoughts. Before your anxiety takes off, stop at this gate, sip your coffee, breathe, and remind yourself that you’re still in charge of where your mind lands today. 🦋 You’re not doing this alone. Inside Butterflii Haven Caffè, we unpack these moments — raw, unfiltered, and together. 💭 Now let’s Conversation, can’t wait to hear from you : Drop in the comments ⬇️ ☕ What was your first thought this morning — and did you let it ride or did you challenge it?
