As the year 2021 draws to a close, it’s important for us to stay as present as possible and not get swept up in what the next year can bring.

When I taught yoga, I would always affirm to my students that the end is the most important part of anything because it gives us a chance to live what we preach. It’s easy to be present when things are exciting in the beginning or in the middle when we don’t have to think about the ending.

However, the end forces us to look within us and analyze how we have gotten to where we are and if we are achieved with our outcome before we move on to the beginning again. The end is just as significant as when we start.

Here are 9 affirmations for the end of the year:

1. I am grateful that I get to live.

2. I am present for all the lessons in life.

3. I am open to what I need to learn.

4. I am at peace with the past.

5. I am the last person I want to give up on.

6. I am in alignment with prosperity.

7. I forgive so that I can live fully today.

8. I align myself with the greater good.

9. I believe in the highest good of all.
