A GUIDED JOURNAL FOR THE WOMAN YOU’RE BECOMING
Still Becoming
40 Affirmations & Reflections for Self-Love, Growth & the Woman You’re Becoming
You don’t have to have it all figured out. You’re allowed to be growing, changing, questioning, healing—and still be worthy of loving who you are right now.
Still Becoming is an invitation to spend a few intentional moments with yourself each day through affirmations, reflection and honest self-discovery. Not to become someone new, but to reconnect with the woman who is already there.
By Marisa Silva-Reis
Maybe you’ve been feeling a little far from yourself.
Not lost. Not broken. Just somewhere between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming.
Life has a way of getting loud. We move through seasons, relationships, motherhood, work, change, expectations—and somewhere along the way, it can become easy to stop checking in with the person living underneath all of it.
Still Becoming was created as a place to do exactly that.
Not to tell you who you should become.
But to give you somewhere to pause, reflect, listen to yourself, and notice who you’re becoming along the way.
INSIDE STILL BECOMING
40 little invitations to pause, reflect & come back to yourself.
Each affirmation is paired with a thoughtful reflection designed to help you slow down, look inward, and explore what the words mean in your own life.
There’s no right pace and no perfect way to use this book. Open to the page you need, move through it one reflection at a time, or let an affirmation sit with you for as long as it needs to.
AFFIRM
Begin with an affirmation to ground your thoughts and offer a new perspective.
REFLECT
Sit with a thoughtful reflection that invites you to look beneath the surface and listen to yourself.
WRITE
Give yourself space to explore what comes up—in your own words, at your own pace.
A PEEK INSIDE
More than an affirmation. A moment with yourself.
Each page begins with an affirmation—but the real magic happens when you give yourself space to sit with it.
Read the reminder. Notice what comes up. Reflect on the question. Write if you feel called to.
Some days a page may shift your perspective. Other days, a single sentence may be exactly what you needed to hear.
There’s no finish line here. Just 40 opportunities to meet yourself where you are.
Open. Read. Reflect. Become.
THIS BOOK MIGHT BE FOR YOU IF...
You’re somewhere in the middle of becoming.
Maybe you don’t need another person telling you what to do. Maybe you just need somewhere to hear yourself think.
YOU’RE REDISCOVERING YOU
You’ve spent so much time showing up for everyone and everything else that you’re ready to make a little room for yourself again.
YOU’RE IN A SEASON OF CHANGE
Something in your life—or within you—is shifting, and you want space to understand who you are becoming without rushing the process.
YOU WANT TO TRUST YOURSELF MORE
You’re ready to quiet some of the outside noise, listen inward, and strengthen the relationship you have with your own voice.
You don’t need to have it all figured out to begin.
A NOTE FROM MARISA
I created this book because I know what it feels like to wonder who you’re becoming.
There have been seasons of my own life when I’ve felt deeply connected to who I am—and others when life became so loud that I could barely hear myself underneath it.
Still Becoming came from the realization that maybe we aren’t meant to have ourselves completely figured out. We’re allowed to change. To question. To outgrow. To begin again. And to love ourselves through every version in between.
I created these 40 affirmations and reflections as little places to pause. Not because I have all the answers, but because I’ve learned how powerful it can be to ask ourselves the right questions—and actually give ourselves enough quiet to listen to the answers.
My hope is that somewhere inside these pages, you hear a little more of your own voice.
With love,
Marisa xo
