Of 300 things, gratitude journals and affirmations!

Hey my beautiful people! What a year, what a year! There is no way I was going to go down without something submitted before the turn of the decade. Dude, can you believe it has been a decade since 2010? (hides birth certificate to not reveal age)

So much has happened since the last post. The sad i-almost-died post. I mean complete and utter transformation! Firstly no more pity parties. Secondly it's the year of yes. Yes to opportunity, yes to me, yes to life! I have seen the hand of God move me, the word of God transform me and the grace of God sustain me!

I have three main tools I want to share with you which might help. I firmly believe in these tools as they really did transform my Outlook and perspective. Just try them and thank me later:

1. 300things

Proudly inspired by Steve Harvey. Very very simply and based on biblical principles. It's like a vision board but a list. And it's 300 things! Yes. 300. Things. You just make a list of every single thing you want, want to do, want to become. The funny thing is the easy stuff comes first then you start with the crazy ones, then you reach a point where you dig deep and just go wild. The writing is the amazing process. That's where the secret is. It's the daring to dare. Then the magic starts. You actually start getting the things you wrote. You start saying no to things not on that list. Your vision is so crystal clear there's no need to fear! And when you leave the list with God, there is nothing that can stop you.

2. Gratitude Journal

Generally most people are too lazy to write. Unless it's work stuff, you generally can't be bothered. I know. Neither can I. But now there are these brilliant things called apps. On your phone. Gratitude is the single most powerful thing that changes attitude, perception and provision. Everyday just note what you are grateful for..but also note why you are grateful for it and what it all means. Your reasons are what remind you what's important. It's all about saying thankful. The funny thing is the more you thank, the more you get to be thankful for. It must be one of the laws of the universe. Totally amazing.

3. Affirmation List

So if you have your 300things on the front of your notebook, the gratitude journal at the back going backwards..please put your affirmations in the middle. Affirmations are truths. Simple. Truths you need to remind yourself of. There are two types. You can have truths which you want to believe etc I am happy, healthy and in exactly the right place at the right time. And then there's God's promises and truths such as God accepts me unconditionally with all my issues. These are anchors for you to hold on to and propel you when you read them over and over.im a sucker for a good promise. And it surely helps when you go through spiritual attacks. Which you shall.

So folks, those are my three tools of 2019. Let me know what you think, if you have tried any. Would love to hear from you.

Till 2020..where big things are def agwaan..it's Stee time out.

What's your 'Real Age'?

RealAge, Inc. is an American media corporation that provides health information to consumers. The company’s stated mission is to encourage consumers to maximize their health and wellness by making their "RealAge" younger. It was founded by media medic, Michael Roizen , currently the chief wellness officer at The Cleveland Clinic . log on to realage.com So basically its a website which asks you a bunch of questions then it tells you what age you really are. It will ask you things like from 'how much do you drink' to 'how many orgasms do you have a week' and so on. It is a long quiz. Apparently since it started in 1999, 27 million people have taken the test. Guess everyone wants to live life to the youngest! So of course I took the test..and I am not revealing my real age. I was appalled to say the least! And now they are sending me all sorts of suggestions about how I can 'regain my youth' e.g:   Burn More Fat with These

Is Everyday One Word or Two? English Test Woes

IELTS (pronounced alternatively by people as EYE-Elts and EYE-Lets) is the standardized international English test from the UK and Australia, equivalent to Toefl for the US. I had to do it for a myriad of reasons but mainly to prove to the aforesaid 'Commonwealthers' that I can indeed communicate in English. Disgruntled but excited I booked my test for this past Saturday and pictured myself getting 98% because ‘I even have a blog-o!’ How good must my English be? Woke up at the crack of dawn!   I had received warnings of non-refundable expulsion for late-comers so my senses were acutely aware of my alarm clock. Thinking I was too early, I arrived to find a horde (word I used in my speaking test) of anxious-looking people already waiting outside the British Council building. I immediately befriended the most cheerful face sitting at the end of the line who was to become my friend for the whole day. Payal had carried 5 pens, 5 pencils, several rubbers and a sparkling sharpener

Saving Mandy

When you have influence, it is your duty to stand up for others and help others up too We had so much in common.  We were both born and grew up in the same sleepy hometown of Bulawayo, almost same neighborhood. We attended the same high school, some years apart, but both proud and loud Convent girls. At some point, we must have taken the same Parklands surburb bus from City Hall to home. Our siblings almost same age-groups; our families and friends intertwined all the way back to roots in Dombodema rural home. We both went on to study medicine, she did dentistry, I did MBChB. But eventually we both did a masters in Public Health in the same programme at the University of Zimbabwe. We both got married and set up home in Harare. Bulawayo girls stick together when they arrive in the big bad city. When I had Anashe, she had Siyabonga. We were both pregnant in 2018. Being senior medical professionals we both had access to the “best” medical care. We both had Cesarian Sections and
