My Presence if a Gift

Today, we’ll explore the profound impact of your presence in the lives of those around you. By reflecting on your unique contributions, you’ll begin to see how simply being yourself is a gift. This journaling practice invites you to honor your essence and the ways you create ripples of positivity in the world.

Your Presence is Gift Reflection

Set aside 10-15 minutes in a quiet, comfortable space. Bring your journal and a pen, or open a digital document if you prefer. Begin by taking a few deep breaths to center yourself, and then reflect on the following questions:

1. Moments of Connection:

   • Think about a time when someone expressed gratitude for your support, kindness, or presence.

   • What did you do or say in that moment that made a difference?

2. Your Unique Energy:

   • What qualities or traits do you bring into your relationships that create safety, joy, or comfort for others?

   • How do you show up for those you care about?

3. The Ripple Effect:

   • Reflect on a recent interaction or moment when your energy positively impacted someone else, even in a small way.

   • How do you think that impact might have rippled outward in their day or their life?

4. Honoring Your Presence:

   • Write a short letter to yourself, acknowledging how your presence is a gift to the people around you.

   • Begin with, “Dear [Your Name], I want you to know that your presence is a gift because...”

If this feels right, close your journaling practice by placing your hands over your heart and silently affirming:
“I honor the light I bring into this world. My presence matters, and I am enough.”

You don’t need to do more or be more for your presence to be meaningful. The simple act of showing up, being yourself, and holding space for others is enough. Carry this reminder with you as you move through your day.
