Joy is an integral part of Black well-being!! It is truly necessary. I often find that self-motivation can lead to self-joy! For many motivation leads to action, creates movement, leads tp growth, and can result in change.  As a result, motivation can and does give purpose to one’s life and promote happiness!

#30DaysofBlackJoy…Day 17-Finding Black Joy in Affirmations!!

Posted on by drblackfuturefeminist

I GOT THIS!! Be Your Own Hype Person!! Whether you believe it or not there is value in patting yourself on the back and being your own cheerleader!! One of the many ways this can be done is through affirmations. Affirmations are statements that can brighten your outlook on life and the world. When you say them to yourself regularly or write them down in a journal these statements can change the game!! Affirmations also help build confidence and reduce our stress responses, which in turn can make us more resilient in the face of challenges and crises. The great thing about affirmations is that they have no cost and can be used whenever and wherever!! You gotta love that!!

Today’s #BlackJoy moment is about finding joy in affirmations!! Here are a few affirmations to get you through the day, week, month, or year!!

As you take in these affirmations remember this: Be intentional…Embrace the statements…Breathe in and Breathe out!

See you all tomorrow!!

#30DaysofBlackJoy…Day 10-Motivation Saturday!!

Posted on by drblackfuturefeminist

Some days are good, some days not so good…but through it all, it is important to realize we are the conductors of our life and we have the final say about it!! Considering what we have experienced (and are experiencing) in the past few years globally and personally we could all use a daily dose of motivation. I know for me personally I have dealt with loss of close family members and new transitions, professionally going through a third-year review of my tenure track process, and mentally going through a roller coaster of emotions. You name the emotion and I guarantee I experienced it!! I got to a point where I learned to be selfish with my time and not see that as a bad thing…I learned to step back…I learned to celebrate all wins no matter how big or small!!

I began to give myself grace and latitude…A lot of this was due to self-reflection and support from family and friends. When it is all said and done, each day is an opportunity to start anew and begin fresh.

So today’s #BlackJoy moment is about sharing some motivational vitamins!! Keeping it simple, cheerful, and affirming.
