AUGUST AFFIRMATIONS
"August Affirmations - Speaking life daily!"
Doses for Uniqueness theme for August is - Affirmations- Speaking LIFE daily.
Hello and welcome back to another #DosesofUniqueness!
Happy Saturday! Happy August, New month, New goals and plans! Can you believe that we are already in the month of August? It's seems like we were just in June.
So let's recap. In June and July's blogpost, I spoke on my goals and what I wanted to accomplish. I am happy to say that I did accomplish a few of my goals. I'm back in school, working on my MBA. I did work out a few times, not as many as I would like - (Thanks Covid-No gyms). I completed the JJ Smith smoothie cleanse and shedded a few pounds, I stayed consistent with my boundaries, my daily devotions and I started planning!!! oh yes. Planning is a thing for me now.
And HAPPY PLANNERS DAY (today, 1 August is National Planners Day) to all the folks in the planner community. I have found this community to be so relaxing, encouraging, and the creativity really inspires me. It's so relaxing to pull out my stickers and decorate my spread for the week or use the stickers in my journals. I purchased two planners from Cloth and Paper https://clothandpaper.com. Special shoutout to my sister Queen Tawanica! She's the one who turned me into a #plannerGirl. Her creativity is amazing. Check her out! - click the link - https://www.instagram.com/tawanica_plans/
I also completed "The Vanishing Half" https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/576782/the-vanishing-half-by-brit-bennett/. this book was so good and it dealt with many issues that are still relevant today. I got the recommendation from a beauty that I follow on IG https://www.instagram.com/keilabekillingit/ I met another Queen online https://www.instagram.com/sherillrdavis/ that started a book review discuss club and I am super excited to discuss tomorrow with the rest of the ladies via Zoom.
As mentioned, the theme for August is Affirmations. I want to continue to speak Life into my being. I want to be so filled with positivity that negativity has no room in my head or my heart. I have a tendency to accepting a blessing or compliment and then there's a "but", that's that negativity down playing my mind again. Telling me that I shouldn't celebrate what God had done for me, or that I shouldn't be excited, because some will think I'm bragging or doing the most. I thank God for connecting and reconnecting me with people who want the best for me, who push me to be and do more, who hold me accountable.
I want to be fearless, I want to grow and elevate.
So I have decided that I want to post a affirmation post daily for the month of August. These post will not be long, short and sweet! They will come from my IG page and again if you are not following me....what are you waiting on! LOL. Click the link now! https://www.instagram.com/dosesofuniqueness/
So today's affirmation is "I'm Flawed and Fabulous". I am aware that I am not perfect. Things are going to get to me, I will have emotional spells and doubt myself,....however....even with those flaws, I am Fabulous! I am fearfully and wonderfully made! My friend Nicole posted a ig story today titled "Stand out" it went on to say that we should learn to be "Uniquely Yourself"... (love it). I have been saying "Shanique is Unique" for years due to people mispronouncing my name,...
Shanique is Unique, Flawed and FABULOUS!
Until next time .💕💕
