Thissss book! I’m a firm believer that you’ll stay on the rollercoaster (whatever that may be for you) until you’re ready to get off. I was on the rollercoaster of unintentional living, complaining, anxiety and unbelief. After having this book on my bookshelf for over eight years, I dusted it off. Full of weapons to use against the enemy (the devil) this book explains how the mind is a battlefield and how to win the victory. This book forever changed my life + shifted my focus to where it needed to be: on God.

Have you noticed that the start of the year is filled with excitement about change + setting goals that we plan to accomplish, but toward the end of January, motivation is trickling out the window? Or we have a setback and find it difficult to get back on the horse? Or we set crazy high expectations for ourselves + when we don't see quick results, we think we're inadequate and give up? Either way, this is the time when we start to forget our resolutions + turn back to what we were trying to turn away from. This week I was guilty of this 🥴 I had a migraine that kicked my butt + when I started to feel better my motivation tank was low. I had two choices: 1) Do what I've always done in my past + give up + complain the rest of the year that nothing was going my way/changing. OR 2) Pity party if need be + then get back to work on the plan to complete the goal. If you're reading this it's not too late because I choose option 2.

The new year is the perfect time to create new habits or break old ones. As we start 2022, I’m being reminded of habits that no longer serve me, such as constant drinking. The pandemic created an excuse for those of us stuck in the house to drink. To make sure the mini bar stayed filled just as much as the grocery fridge. I, loving a good drink, leaped on the bandwagon (I didn’t need much of an excuse to have a mimosa at 10:00 am). Now however, I’m working on taking care of my body + being intentional with myself. That means I have to love myself enough to say no to a few things I want to say yes to. Do I want to meet up for happy hour + catch up? Absolutely. Do I want my girlfriends to come over + sit around the fire pit drinking wine + chatting? Of course! But right now, I can’t be strong enough to do that, so I have to choose what’s peaceful for me. Breaking any habit, or addiction is hard but what’s harder is looking back in regret wishing you’d made a change earlier.

Planting + maintaining healthy seeds all 2022 🌱 • • • • • https://www.instagram.com/p/CYy9_p4LIQA/?utm_medium=tumblr

All my life, I hated my 4c hair because a) I didn’t know how to properly care for it b) I didn’t see it represented on tv or social media as much as other hair types and c) I was ashamed of it. 2021 I worked on my mind + soul. Turn the page to 2022 and mamma’s getting fine! I’m confidently working on the outside, embracing the hair or crown I’m in. As I learn more about my hair type and what it needs, I’m trying tons of new things and products advertised on YouTube and social media and it’s been fun! I heard a lot about the Mielle brand and investigated more. On their website they have a hair type quiz that identify’s your hair type, while suggesting products for your specific type. Me + my family ran to our local @target to grab a few things from their Pomegranate + Honey line and never looked back ✌🏾 It’s it’s important to me as a melanin mamma to teach my daughter to love every part of herself, even her kinky coils. With 3 different texture of 4c hair in our home, I’m embarking on a journey to find products that worked for each of us. Black is beautiful no matter how society paints it. Our hair is beautiful. Our skin is beautiful. We’re beautiful. Unapologetically loving the skin + hair I’m in 💃🏾 Click the link in the bio to read my review on the @mielleorganics Pomegranate + Honey line and see if it might work for you! This mamma is officially a Mielle Maven 🙌🏾 2022 we’re embracing who we are + glowing up 🌱✨ • • • • #mielleorganics #miellemaven #4chair #4chaircare #4chairchick #naturalhair #naturalhaircare #blogger #bloggersofinstagram #melaninpoppin #blackisbeautiful #embraceyourcurls #kinkycoilyhair #growthmindset #selfcare #washdayroutine #naturalproducts #blackowned #targetwhileblack #targetstyle #newblogpost https://www.instagram.com/p/CYg6VXor4vg/?utm_medium=tumblr
