You have power, skill, proficiency, and intelligence to accomplish the tasks before you. You have the means and the opportunity.
Tell yourself this every day and watch how your life changes.
TV Show of the Week
This is a Regina recommendation. I mean I have watched it and thought it was amusing, but she is a fan. I am still on the fence (only because some of the characters are annoying) But the story has it moments where it is funny.
If kind of reminds me of Mary Tyler Moore in and I’m Gonna Get You Sucka kinda of way. The main character has a good heart in a very naïve kinda way surrounded by a cast of characters that..well. You need to experience them for yourself. I am sure you will find a favorite in one of them.
Try this show. It is on ABC.
Affirmation
You are capable. Write down everything you accomplished this month. Even those little things. Learn to appreciate those little things. Continue to remind yourself that you are capable. You have skills and talents. You accomplish a lot every day. Appreciate your talents and skills. Value yourself.
TV Show of the Week
This is a cute little murder mystery I stumble upon on Prime via Acorn TV. An antique dealer’s husband is murdered in France after purchasing a very expensive ring. When she goes to collect the belongings she discovers that her husband had a double life. The first season she spends looking for the person who stole the ring.
This story is fun, the characters are quirky and the scenery is beautiful. Sometimes the characters speak French, but it allows you to feel like the main character with her limit language abilities. I always give plus points for multiracial casts. It also has a creepy edge with sinister characters who lurk in the background.
Try the Madame Blanc Mysteries and let me know what you think.
Affirmation
There will be moments when you don’t want to believe in yourself. There will be times when you want to through away everything you have accomplished. Let your work be like the smell of garlic, very hard to get rid of. But also bring life and flavor to everything it touches. Let it remind you of how capable you are every moment of every day. I am capable.
Affirmation
I am capable
I have been taught that it is bad manners to brag about what you can do or what you are good at. This is different because we are talking about skills we have developed over decades. We have spent years learning new things and putting them into practice. We are very capable.
Affirmation
In 2022 I am going to own the affirmation.
For the month of January as we venture into new things and new possibilities I will remind myself that I am capable. That means I have the ability, fitness and quality necessary to achieve the things God sets before me. I don’t do it in my own power, but in His.
In 2022 find what all you are capable of accomplishing.
Affirmation
Gentleness doesn’t always look like what we think. It might not be smooth or even. It might be messy. But it is what is needed at the time that it is given.
Affirmation
Gentleness took on a different form. It might not look like what you think it should. It might not act how you think it should. He is a gentle savior.
