Be Selfish, Devote This Year To Loving Yourself…


Image from Pinterest

2018 came and went… The question that remains what did you do for yourself? Whether it is personal advancement or just appreciating yourself. 

 Do this practice with me...

Close your eyes and reminisce about 2018. What were you doing? Did it have your best interests at heart? Not to please the next person or align with your family or society’s expectations. 

 I say, rather focus on you - the person in the mirror.

Did you go for that skinny dipping on your bucket list or cut off toxic people without worrying about what they would say? Kudos to you if you did, however, if you are on the other side. Well! Don’t despair, take this year and activate your selfish mood. Yess being selfish is okay for your own mental health and inner peace.

You have to love yourself more. It is from the tenants of self-love that influence your choices, how you carry yourself and handle life problems. Grow a state of appreciation to nurture your physical, psychological and spiritual growth.

Stay woke and conscious of yourself. Embrace and stay in touch with what you think, feel and need. Know yourself, what you stand for and act upon that knowledge rather than following the crowd.

The next step to self-love journey is replacing want with need. Focus on what you need which makes you stronger and move forward in life. Don’t stick on something that temporarily makes you feel good and excited,  rather work towards what you really need.

Remember to nourish yourself with self-care. Start from staying healthy, fit, have healthy social interactions and thoughts. Protect yourself and heart desires, bring the productive and right people into your life.

    True often at times we worry about pleasing others while sacrificing our own happiness, we tend to focus on what other people would say if we do this or that but forget that our own happiness is a priority. Happiness starts from with so sometimes you have to choose you be miserable. Great Read

Adulting They Call It! A Day In The Life Of An Adult...

Image
📷 Hulst Wilson It was a summer morning the smell of the fresh coffee brewing filled the air – the chill breeze and the scent of the clean-shaven glass. The shrieking clock slapped me back to reality, it was time to begin adulting. For so long I was living with my parents and feeding off them. The day has dawned for me to journey into a land of no hope – job hunting ! It had become known that jobs were for the privileged and the well-connected fellas. But this didn’t mess my mantra and optimism . What a shame everyone was caught up in the web of corruption and nepotism. Tick tock… The clock sang a song of hope. I had clothes bought specially for this day rather for the last time it came from my parents’ pension. I cleared my mind and the never-dying song of unemployment from my classmates and some from streams ahead. In my head, 8 o’clock was a date, a chance to be what I always dreamt of. I hurriedly bathed, late was never part of my vocabulary. The words of my mentor vivid

#Signs It Is Time For You To Be Courageous & Take What You Want

📷 Jonathan Daniels "You can get in life what you have courage to ask for " - Oprah Winfrey When it comes to life don’t be humble and meek, take on whatever life gives you. There is a better way to take on life, that is, to be specific about what you want. As our Shona idiom goes, “Mwana asinga cheme anofira mumbereko” which simply translates to, “You only get what you have the courage to ask for.” It is the only en route to success and getting what you want. It costs zero dollars to take charge of your life, be assertive – combine your confidence with control. Trust me it is like a magnet to get attention, a step forward to getting what you want. Growing up I was a reserved and quiet person. Never asked for anything or complained. It was rooted in me and my way of life. Up until I realized that if I don’t ask for much I won’t get much. Your soul and mind will give precisely what you unconsciously tell it, nothing more or nothing less. Being a considerate soun

Framed Generation!

Judge: You being charged with counts of lazyness, entitlement, changing jobs like shoes, adrenaline filled junkies and a generation of no hope. How do you plead? Plea : Thank you your Honour for this opportunity. Firstly I feel like we surrounded by a glitter border; Looks good from the outside looking in, but all it is confinement in our thinking, ideas and entire existence; Of rules and expectations passed on from generation to generation; Stick to the know, a yearn for more is rebellion; A generation framed by our forefathers; constantly paying for their sins; Where corruption, violation of freedom of speech, graduates begging by the roadside and violation of human rights have been normalised; A curse of through painful toil we eat food from it the rest of our lives. Hands to mouth, hands to mouth, a routine we've only known; They ate the sour fruits, played with fire, gorged into our trust funds only for us to be called lazy and free spirits. Millenni
