QUeer affirmations: Joy and worthiness for the lgbtq+ community

Beliefs are thoughts that we continue to think. If we can start to think new thoughts that are more conducive to acceptance, self-love, and ease, then we can begin to see the world, and ourselves within the world, differently.

For young people in the queer community, it can be difficult not knowing if family and friends will truly love them for them — never knowing if the love they get will be unconditional.

Folks in the LGBTQ+ community may wonder if they can expect that unconditional love from the people closest to them, and when it comes to self-talk, it can be difficult for LGBTQ+ identifying individuals to convince themselves that they not only *can* ask for what they need, but that they are more than allowed to do so. 

Affirmations are a great way to do this, and what better month than this to make them LGBTQ+ focused.

Whether you are a member of the LGBTQ+ community or not, try these affirmations to positively change your self-talk. You are worthy of joy, safety and acceptance. It's your birthright. ❤️

It is a joy to get to know the true me.

My life has meaning beyond what others think of me.

The people who deserve to love me will be excited to accept the real me.

I deserve love without conditions.

I will give myself love without conditions.

Others discomfort with who I am says more about them than it says about me.

I will be patient with myself as I learn how to love myself without conditions.
