Day Seven of work.
An affirmation for work:
“In the infinity of life where I am, all is perfect, whole, and complete. My unique creative talents and abilities flow through me and are expressed in deeply satisfying ways. There are people out there who are always looking for services. I am always in demand and can pick and choose what I want to do. I earn good money doing what satisfies me. My work is a joy and a pleasure. All is well in my world.”
– Louise Hay, You Can Heal Your Life
Thank you for reading this series about work. Please let me know if it helped change how you think about your job.
The Work Series:
When major changes in your life occur, such as birth of children, marriage, divorce, or death of someone you love, it is okay to mourn the loss of your old life. It is important to grieve for what was.
When you are ready, celebrate your new life. Feel gratitude for all the blessings received as you create a new life for yourself.
Mantra: I am grateful for my new life today.
(An oldie but goodie…)
Write a gratitude list at any time of the day.
Writing a gratitude list redirects your thinking so you focus on all the goodness in your life. Create a gratitude journal dedicated to all that you are grateful for.
“……my therapist taught me, “Everything in moderation, except joy.” As I looked back over my life, I began to understand that my joy, indeed my very existence, depends on me inhaling goodness unapologetically.” – “Sharing ‘Good Vibes’ Only Can Save Your Life” by Danielle Young (link to full article below.)
I read that quote in the December 2019 issue of Essence magazine. I was reading the magazine at Firestone Auto Care while waiting for my car to be repaired after an unexpected breakdown. The column struck me so much that I took a picture of the above paragraph.
So how to inhale more goodness, more joy when the “dailyness” of life is wearing you down? Reading Mocha Angels 365 is always good! That Ms. Mocha Angel is on point! (HA HA!)
Doing things that bring you joy is key.
Enter ellieejay from the Pointless Overthinking blog. She wrote a post called “How to Love the Repetition of Life.” (link to full post below) Simple pleasures, with minimum effort and minimum cost, are the key the enjoying the repetition of life, says ellieejay. I’m down like four flat tires with her line of thinking.
The simplest of all my pleasures is singing. I sing all.the.time. Everywhere. Anywhere. Ask my kids. I dance too. I can’t dance worth snot, but I don’t care. Song and dance bring me joy. I can’t do either one of them too much.
How do you inhale goodness? What are your simple pleasures?

A follow-up to yesterday’s Day 31 “I change my mind today” post.
As Louise Hay says in her book You Can Heal Your Life, “I’m willing to change.” Willingness is the key. Being willing to go out of your comfort zone, willing to do and try new things, willing to feel uncomfortable, willing to look foolish…all those things are new and feel weird right?
It’s okay to be scared to try new things. Forming new thought patterns is difficult, yet not impossible. I know some of my readers in real life, and I know what their struggles are. Just keep saying “I’m willing to change” a million times until it feels true. Dip your baby toe in the water of new experiences and thoughts. You are breaking old thoughts and habits when you say you are willing to change. Y’all know what old patterns no longer serve you. Start with something small, not attached to a big emotion.
Be gentle with yourself. Take your time. Create small changes one thought at a time.
Angels come in all shapes and sizes. They are not all celestial beings. Pay close attention to see if there are any earthbound Angels in your life. When you notice those special people, say “thank you!”
Mantra:
I am thankful for the Angelic people in my life.
Today provides us an opportunity to celebrate the birth of a new consciousness, a consciousness of Peace, Unity, and ONENESS. Today I let LOVE be my guide.
Today you are called to be a living expression of Love, Light, Peace, Unity and ONENESS. Go forth and prosper. – from Daily Spirit Callings with Rev. Robert Brzezinski. http://revbrz.com/
Call people to say how much you love them. Pass on the greatest gift: love. Stepping outside of your comfort zone to bless another is one of the most beautiful things you can do.
Share yourself with your loved ones. You may surprise people with your enthusiasm, which may rub off on them. They may turn around and call someone with radiant enthusiasm too!
Mantra:
I create a chain reaction of love and good feelings today.
Love everyone you meet. Promise to make yourself a “no negative zone.” You made it through another year. You were gifted with breath and life. Go outside and touch the Earth, whether there is snow, grass, or water on the ground. Look toward the sky and feel the wonderment of the Universe. Look within your heart and send love to yourself. Send that love out to everyone so that peace on Earth becomes a reality.
Set your intentions today for the next year. If you walk in those intentions for the next 365 days your intentions will come to pass.
