HEALTHY HABITS

-

   Habits are definitely part of our day to day lives, they are things or traits that we pick up oftentimes unknowingly be it good or bad habits. I suck at intros at times, so, I’d dive into the 4 healthy habits I have to share with y’all today:

Gratitude: I doubt it can ever be over-flogged how important gratitude is, it sure feels like an essential in the survival kit of life on planet earth. However, an entitlement mentality (that seems to be gaining more traction nowadays) can often get in the way of one feeling the need to be grateful under all circumstances. Notwithstanding, gratitude is a real healthy habit to cultivate, finding reasons to be grateful no matter how little on a daily basis is definitely needed to add meaning to one’s day.
Exercise: if I were to make a list of 100 things I suck at, no doubt, exercising (conscious workout) would have one of the top spots on that list. That aside, exercising keeps the whole body fit (from the limbs, abs, to the heart) and the mind running well. It has a relaxing effect as well regardless the paradox of it putting strain on your body. If you are yet to make exercise a habit of yours, I suggest you should cos it holds numerous benefits for different parts of the body. Be it jogs, runs, brisk walks, HIIT, circuit training, whatever it is, just keep it moving.

Consciousness of flaws: we are humans and essentially made up of flaws aside bones, muscles, tissues, ligament and every other thing scientists say we are made of. Being conscious of the flaws of other humans as well as yourself sure makes it easy to get over disappointments, breached trust and whatever the flaws in us may throw at other humans around us. Acknowledging flaws helps limit expectations from fellow humans and in turn leaves little space for shattering. This may not be as upbeat as the other points, nonetheless, it is a habit I believe is worth taking up.

Journaling: I have made a post about this before and then again, I’d say it here. Journaling is a healthy habit to adopt. From putting things in perspective, to recording events to getting your creativity flowing, journaling most definitely holds quite some benefits for whoever takes it up.

That there is my list of healthy habits to adopt, as the year is winding up, it sure is a good time to lay hold of new habits in preparation for the incoming year.

Do you agree with the above list? What healthy habits do you have or intend to pick up soon? I’d love to hear this and more in the comment’s section

REVIEW : VIOLENCE BY FESTUS IYAYI

  Hello peeps, how has the month been? I’ve been playing coward for a while now, let me tell you why. I read a book some weeks back—which I stumbled upon by the way—and I was like it’s something I’d like to make a blog post about but I have been “shifting post” ever since. I have decided to take the bull by the horns and do it anyways.     Hmm!! Where do I start? Okay, this book I’m talking about is titled VIOLENCE written by FESTUS IYAYI and I’d say it was a good—real good—read. The time in which the story was set wasn’t really stated but I figure it was set sometime in the 70s going but the copyright and an account somewhere in the book. The storyline spans roughly 2-3 weeks, my guess being right.     The plot revolves basically around two couples, one affluent and the other poverty stricken. The story tells of the things that being poor can make one do and things that the affluent can use to lure the poor as well. It also shows how manipulative some rich folks can be, going b

GROWING UP BIG FOOT

Howdy mates!!!! Over the past week, I found myself brainstorming on what to write next for this blog. Honestly, blogging the way I do (writing articles) can be much of a work at times. Some days, I just sit in front of my screen, staring blankly, with no idea on what exactly to write about. Other days, I could have numerous ideas floating in my head, sometimes, I’m lucky enough to get most of them down and fleshed up, other times, I get to just a couple and the rest fly away or just don’t seem as interesting as the initial thought. Today’s post is several years old but it still rings true and possesses the same initial vibe it had. And, guess what? It is not as particularly serious as my last couple of posts have been--just something on a lighter note. I currently stand somewhere between  5ft 9’ and 5ft 10’ and by NBA standards, I’m nothing near tall (probably been seeing too many NBA games of recent). Away from the giants and back to the real world, I’m somewhere above average he
