GET THROUGH THE DAY HAPPY

Drew Barrymore once said “Happiness is the best makeup”. I would love to acknowledge that we all define happiness differently, hence, what you are reading here is how I go about being .

Happiness is an emotion we experience which comes and goes. “Happiness is not something readymade. It comes from your own actions”, Dalai Lama.

Here is how I keep my head above the water and stay humbly happy.
1. Upon waking up I remember to be thankful. Thankful for being alive and for my loved ones.
2. Plan my day ahead and make sure to put in work in achieving my goals.
3. Avoid reacting to situations that do not aid my growth. (Turning a blind eye)
4. Being positive.

I am the happiest when I focus my energy into myself and who I want to be in the short run or long run. Because time stops for no man, if you are not happy focusing and pushing yourself who will?

How do you stay happy?

INCITEMENT

I have rewritten this three times and I could not think of better people to write about other than my family members. Their goals and attributes have added to my upbringing one way or another. And I chose these specifically because I love them unconditionally. Mr dad : if he could still tuck up into bed and tell us bed time stories he would. He is full of stories and is ever making people laugh. He makes everyone comfortable from the word go. He literally never sees any bad in any person. A good listener too. Mrs Mum : has always taught us that we are good enough and should go after whatever we believe in. Her childhood stories never end. Always cooking. And always optimistic.  Boo : was once my best friend but decided to get married, breaking my heart in two. Knows how to have fun without a worry. Someone you can tell your problems to.  Sister sister : my duplicate. ready to exchange birth certificates because I really do believe I was suppose to be the last born. The only hu...

"HERE'S TO STRONG WOMEN: MAY WE KNOW THEM, MAY WE BE THEM, MAY WE RAISE THEM"

International Women's Day is celebrated every March 8th, a moment taken to celebrate women's achievements in every field and used as a day to acknowledge the journey toward equality. Growing into an international movement with the spotlight of issues of education, equal pay and leadership. Women have bridged gaps in arts, politics, sports, science and business. With inspiration drawn from the likes of Serena Willians, Maya Angelou and Rosa Parks. Not forgetting mothers, healthcare workers, teachers, activists and entrepreneurs in charge of shaping our day to day lives. However, challenges persist. Issues run roots deep in discrimination, gender based violence, education and wage gaps. We all have a role to play to bridge the existing gaps. This can be done by advocating for change in workplaces and communities, supporting organisations which support women, educating ourselves and the masses by highlighting the many struggles faced by women, supporting women based businesses and...

DO NOT DISTURB: FROM NOTIFICATIONS TO PEACE

  A degree hotter feel like an end of a marathon filled with pride, relief and a strange unsettling silence. I find myself staring at my screen more often than not, feeling drained, less inspired. It took me a while to realise and acknowledge that constant notifications, scrolling, and my availability was quietly robbing me of my peace and productivity.  So, I have decided to change things.  I start my mornings with something as simple as a meditation session, coffee and a book. My meditation helps me focus on what is important. I gracefully take my coffee, savouring its rich African taste as it unlocks a surge of energy into my blood stream. Reading for an hour helps centre my thoughts like an armour ready to take on whatever challenges unfold throughout the day. And, I have truly dedicated my best hours of the day to productivity. Even, with this rhythm, I have noticed something troubling.  I have always valued being a good friend or co-worker. I still do. The kind...
