Day 3
Day three is exciting and special. Usually, transformations are about to take place on a deeper level and emotions can be stirred up.
Everyone is different so this may not be the case for you. If it is, gently allow yourself to go with how you are feeling and you may use a powerful mantra like ''I let go and let God''. Tears are always a sign of “letting go”.
Time is set aside for you to capture your emotions and feelings on paper or in a journal, allowing yourself time to feel think, heal, and reflect.
