Hello February - New Month =New Mindset!
Hello and welcome to another Doses of Uniqueness!

Was it just me, or did January feel like one of the longest months ever! LOL, seriously, did if feel long and dragged out?
My theme for January was "Jumpstart January" - looking back - I really didn't jumpstart anything, lol
Sadly, I did not write my goals for January in my Goldmine and Coco goals journal...that reminds me, I need to write my goals down for February. Do you write your goals? If you are interested in beautiful stickers and luxury stationary, I highly recommend checking out Felicia and her team at Goldmine and Coco and if you use discount code "uniqueness10" at checkout, to save a cute little coin!
I did complete my vision board for 2021, which I am very proud of! I have it placed in my bedroom, so I go to bed looking at it and wake up looking at it. #Manifesting
Some of my wins in January included:
Completing the Daniel's Fast with Concord Church! During this time I had no candy, coffee, alcohol, meat or seafood.....none of it! Every morning at 0630 Paster Bryant Carter would break down a scripture in the Bible that truly fed me! I even lost 12 pounds during that time. I have decided to continue to eat less meat and more veggies in February.
I was able to meet my monthly savings goal of $500! I think it has a lot to do with cooking more at home and not eating fast food or drinking expensive coffees.
I came up with a unique hack! I call it the planner/wallet! It's where you take your small planner and include items that would be in our wallet ...combine them...and BAM, you have a planner wallet! I went into details on a blog post, you can view it here.
To eliminate excuses, I ordered the Sunny fitness spin bike to go along with my Peloton Digital App. I'm in love! The bike is amazing and way less expensive than the peloton bike and the app is only 12 dollars a month...which I haven't paid yet, because you get the first two months...FREE! #winning
I was blessed with a beautiful Orange Moterm Personal Planner from my beautiful IG friend Elovesitall! When I received this planner in the mail, I was beyond thrilled! it's something about the color orange! It pops, it's inviting, it's warm, it's happy....it me! This planner just brightens my day, aesthetically pleasing to my eyes! I actually did some research on the color orange and found some interesting facts - check it out here on my IG page (if you aren't following, you should - DosesOfUniqueness )
With today being the 1st day of February - you know what that means - new goals to slay and a new month to reset our positive mental attitude! and it's Black History Month!!! My cousin Nikki (also properly known as Melissa) came up with these themes for February! Here are my 3 F's for February:
"Fruitful February"- This is where I believe and trust God is blessing me with a fruitful heart, fruitful love, fruitful favor, fruitful opportunities, fruitful mindset, fruitful abundance, etc...
Then there is "Fervent February"- This is where I am trusting God with my enthusiasm, zeal, passion toward my heart's desire and goals. Fervent Prayers, Fervent Gratitude, Fervent Trust!
Lastly we have"Faithing February"- This is where I am really allowing myself to trust God. Placing my faith in him and him only! When I tell you God has been and continues to save and protect me from situations - you wouldn't believe what favor and sparing of the rod he has covered me with! #Testimony. He continues to show up and show out in all areas of my life. Matthew 17:20 tells me that all I need to do is have faith the size of a mustard seed...and with that faith I can move mountains! I receive it. I believe this wholeheartedly and I am challenging myself to trust and have bigger faith in God.
Well friends, that you for stopping by. I genuinely appreciate the support! Let's continue the dialogue in the comments section! until next time!
