Weekly Affirmation — Like Attracts Like

This is your Friday affirmation. Take a breath you didn't know you were holding. Exhale.

This week's affirmation is for the woman who has been asking for something — quietly, persistently, longer than she'd like to admit — and is starting to wonder why it hasn't arrived yet.

Today's affirmation: "What I've been calling in recognises me because I recognise myself."

This week's episode with Bronx Witch Aly Kravetz cracked something open for me. Spellwork, she says, isn't primarily about what you do externally. It's about whether your internal energy matches what you're calling in. Like attracts like. If the energy isn't aligned, what you're asking for has nowhere to land.

The question worth sitting with this weekend: do you recognise yourself as someone who belongs in the life you've been asking for?

Save. Share. Come back when you need the reminder. 🤍

Friday Check In And Context

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Hi, it's Friday. Welcome to Your Soft Landing. I feel every Friday I gotta start with me and this has been a week. And it's true, right? I just had a very um enriching conversation with Rachel K. Albers, who has also been on the podcast um at some point, about that well it was basically about life and everything. And well, we came to we have this common understanding that while we acknowledge that what's currently going on is a shit fest and it will not go away right this minute, and we need to take care of ourselves to fight the fight of all fights. So maybe this affirmation is a little teeny tiny wheel in all of that. We as much, I mean, I'm a sociologist, I'm always down for like preaching against the system, and this has its base, and we need to feel we need to be well to do this fight, uh, especially long term because it will not be over anytime soon. So, yeah, so that's that. So, today's affirmation goes in line with the episode um from Tuesday with Ali. It stirred a lot of things, this conversation. So, after his affirmation, you maybe want to go back. So let's let's exhale. So, to this soft landing, I wanna like bring to our attention that we all have been asking for something quietly, persistently, and maybe for longer than we'd like to admit. We start wondering if that what we want is somehow like that we're somehow invisible to it. And I wanna counter that with you're not invisible, you might not just not be recognizable for that thing yet. Okay, and there's power in this reframe because it puts agency back to you. Okay, so in support of that, this week's affirmation, what I have been calling in recognizes me because I recognize myself. What I've been calling in recognizes me because I recognize myself. That's really um an inspiration of the episode I did with Ali Kravitz, the Bronx Witch this week. The whole idea of like when magic and spell work fails, it's not really the ritual, it's the person casting it, and it hasn't that this person hasn't shifted internally to match what they're asking for externally. So the thing you're calling in arrives and it has nowhere for it to land. The energy doesn't match, so it travels on. In physics, the concept is called homeostasis, like like a track is like your internal state is either a welcome mat or a closed door. And the decision about which one it is, the mat or the door, is entirely yours. Before you ask for the thing again, and you've been asking for a long time, the relationship, the opportunity, the version of your life that feels further away some weeks than others, whatever it is. We all have this con this one question sitting at the back of our heads. Ask yourself do you recognize yourself as someone who belongs in that version, in that life, in that relationship? Because what you've been calling in is looking for you too. The question is whether you'll look like look like someone it can find and it can land. So this uh was the soft landing for the week.
