Rise & Shine: My Morning Affirmations

By Eleaya Neveah

Every morning before school, rehearsal, or an audition, I stand in front of my mirror and say my affirmations out loud. They help me start the day feeling brave, happy, and ready to shine. I want to share them with you — especially any kid who has a big dream like mine.

My Morning Affirmations

  1. I am talented, and I get better every single day.
  2. I am brave enough to walk into any audition room.
  3. My voice matters, on camera and off.
  4. I bring joy to every set I step on.
  5. I am kind to my castmates and my crew.
  6. Mistakes help me learn — they don't stop me.
  7. I sing, I dance, and I move with confidence.
  8. I am proud of every role, big or small.
  9. I am grateful for my family, who believes in me.
  10. My dreams are big, and I am ready for them.

My Big Dream

One of my biggest dreams is to act in a Tyler Perry movie. I love stories about family, faith, laughter, and people who never give up — and those are the kinds of stories I want to help tell. Playing Rita in The Therapist showed me how much I love bringing a character to life, and I can't wait for the next one.

To the Caring Directors Out There

Thank you to every director who makes kids feel safe, heard, and encouraged on set. When a director is patient and kind, it helps young actors like me do our very best work. I'm always excited to learn from directors who believe in us.

Your Turn!

Try saying three affirmations tomorrow morning. Pick the ones that make you smile. Dream big — I'll be dreaming big right alongside you! 💫
