Hello ,
It’s February! I’m so excited about February.
Those that know me personally know that February is one of my most exciting months. First of all, it’s my birth month and so much is happening this particular February because in this particular one, I turn a landmark year.
Let’s get excited about February!
As we go into February 2025, a lot of us started some goals in 2025 and are beginning to leave those goals but let me tell you about something that happened to me this week that might help you change your mind about that…
I will start by sharing the lesson I learnt this week…
Last week, as always, was a busy week. It was interestingly busy because I had few appointments I had to keep to and meet up to.
My lesson came from one meeting I had on Friday. The truth is I had called the lady on Thursday and tried to cancel. Then I told myself, you’re not going to procrastinate, you’ll show up and decided to keep the appointment.
Everybody knows that feeling of you say you’re going to make an appointment but then you go to bed and you wake up early and your body starts feeling like it’s too early for that and you start regretting keeping the appointment.
Everything in me was screaming, CANCEL THE APPOINTMENT! I was thinking just tell her you’re sorry you cannot make it, she will understand.
Then I thought to myself, here I go again, procrastinating and not keeping to my word.
The truth is I could have easily gotten out of the appointment and yes, the lady will understand. In fact when I finally saw her, she said she would have understood.
However, I would have been building a habit by doing that. A habit that starts with the small things.
Habits start with small things. Today, you won’t show up. Tomorrow, you won’t do things. Before you know it, not showing up and not doing it will become your common habits.
So, I want to set a challenge for you in February which is build the right habits and keep your word no matter what.
Building the right habits starts from the little things like showing up on time. By the way, I’m speaking to myself with that one.
The little things like saying you’ll be somewhere and not showing up. This may seem little but what we don’t realise is that habits start from these small things and before you know it, they become the big things that form and shape our lives.
Someone that I know once said, be the kind of person that does…
When it comes to being the kind of person that does… starts with the small things.
Lately, I find myself asking a particular question, what kind of person will people say I am. If people were asked based on the habits I show everyday, what kind of person will they say I am.
So as we go into February, a lot of us in January, we set many goals and January is usually a month, many throw their goals out of the window.
Be the kind of person that says something and keeps their word.
Be the kind of person that you want to be.
Throughout February, I’ll be cheering every single person on because I’m excited and looking forward to celebrating my landmark age with everybody.
Let’s get excited about February. It’s our time to live our best lives.
Affirmation for the week
“I’m the kind of person I want to be. I’m the kind of person that shows up regardless of how I feel or the environment around me. I’m consistent. I’m strong. I’m beautiful. I’m the kind of person that achieves my goals. I’m the kind of person that shows up everyday with the best attitude. I’m the kind of person I want to be. I’m living my best life everyday.”
