DAILY AFFIRMATION: I Am A Creator Of My Own Destiny.
Reinforces Self-Belief: Affirming that you are the creator of your own destiny strengthens your belief in your ability to shape your future. This enhanced self-belief helps combat negative thoughts and fosters a positive self-image, leading to improved self-esteem and confidence.
PLUS, TODAY WE CELEBRATE: Cuban Sandwich Day
While the Cubano traditionally consists of ham, roast pork, swiss cheese, pickles and mustard on Cuban bread, restaurants and home cooks serve up different versions. While the sandwich alone may serve as a satisfying meal, some very flavorful sides complement this globe-trotting sandwich. Like any grilled sandwich, a creamy, dunkable soup makes the perfect complement.
