Life as it is!

Life is such misery.

We get up everyday not knowing what the day will hold but we still go on with it. Every night we lay our heads on our pillows not knowing whether or not we will see another day.

But, whatever higher being each one of us believes in, keeps us all safe. Life can be perfect one day and the next, it becomes worse than a roller coaster. Take for instance one day you are extremely happy with your loved ones by your side and the next day you loose them. It get’s pretty real especially when you loose a loved one to death but what can we do about it? Nothing! We just grieve for a couple of weeks and later on learn to live with the fact that life will never be as it was. We adjust.

Have you ever found yourself in the middle of something you never anticipated would ever occur to you? Being human means we all get to make a lot of mistakes. Life happens and sometimes we do bad things. But what follows is the most important part. Mistakes makes us human so we should never beat ourselves up for something we’ve already done. This does not mean that we should justify doing bad things to the fact that we are human but if it happens, it’s necessary that we learn to forgive ourselves and get over the guilt.

You’ve probably heard this a gazillion times but life is pretty short. You can choose happiness today by forgiving yourself and loving yourself just as you are or you can continue beating yourself up and miss out on the beautiful things life has to offer.

11 Daily Healthy Habits That Will Change Your Life for the better.

Daily Healthy Habits

Life is beautiful, especially when we have things going our way. Sadly, it’s not every day that you get to have those satisfying, beautiful productive ways. However, it is very important to know that most of the times if you want something you have to get it, Claim the kind of day you want to have and surprisingly, you will have it.

Starting the day on a good note plays a very huge role in the kind of day you will have, That is why, everyone needs to have a kind of routine, a healthy one if I may add, so as to achieve a successful day.

I will take you through a few of the healthy habits that work for me and hopefully, you will benefit from it. Remember that not everything that works for one person will work for the other so grab what works for you and try your best to implement it.

Make your bed every single morning.

This may come as a surprise to you but it is actually proven that most successful people make their bed every single morning. For most people, it is therapeutic and also denies you the chance to try and get back to bed after waking up. Also, a clean and tidy room gives a person a good head start for the day.

Limit your phone time

I know it’s hard. Most of us reach out for our phones the second the alarm goes off. What happens is that you start checking your messages and one thing leads to another before you know it you have wasted 30 minutes scrolling down on Facebook or Instagram. Try as much as possible not to grab your phone the first hour after waking up. Instead, reach for a glass of water, wash your face and stretch your body. If you have to check through your phone at least limit it to maybe 10 minutes then head out.

Working out daily or at least 4 days a week.

Working out doesn’t necessarily mean that you go to the gym daily. But is you can it is great. Find what works for you. Some people prefer a morning run others exercise in the comfort of their own homes. You can do youtube exercises or even stretch through yoga.

Listen to a podcast/ted talk/motivational talks/worship music or whatever works for you.

You can do this as you take a shower and get ready for the day. What this kind of talks does is that they help you be in the moment. At that time, you forget about your worries and all the things you have to do for the day. It motivates you and gives you the strength to start the day.

Eat healthily.

You are made of what you eat, right?

So do not eat whatever comes your way. Learn to eat healthy food especially breakfast. You are probably wondering how do I even start. Well, make sure you cut back on processed sugars and instead eat whole food, fruits and vegetables.

Cleaning up your space.

Whether it is a huge home or just a little studio apartment, keeping your space clean and tidy helps your mind feel more organized. Having your room untidy with everything lying everywhere it makes you feel overwhelmed and so busy. However, when your room is neat with a lit candle somewhere, you feel so relaxed and at that point, you can manage your day more efficiently.

Journal daily or read a book

We all have a lot of unspoken words and emotions especially when we do not have a person who we trust enough to share our worries with. At times like those, let all your emotions flow on paper. Update your journal every day and you will not believe how much lighter you feel afterwards. Also, make a habit of reading a book that benefits you every day.

Feeding our minds.

How do we feed our minds?

Ensure that you learn something new each and every day. You can do so by reading a book, listening to audiobooks about life, youtube motivational videos and so much more.

Having a positive mind, generally.

Positive thoughts equal a positive life. Have positive thoughts always. Think positively and highly about your life. You can also DIY motivational quotes and hand then o your wall so that every time you look at them you feel energized to do what you need to do.

Have a daily To do list.

This ensures you do not get carried away or overwhelmed during the day and forget to do something. Also, it is very therapeutic to tick down on the things you have done and successfully accomplished during the day.

Be patient and don’t be too hard on yourself.

Good things take time. You can never acquire your life goals overnight. As long as you are truly doing your best, trust the process and be patient. Everything you ever wanted will come at its own time.

22, Single and Hustling.

When I was younger, everybody would talk about how fulfilling and glamorous being 22 years old was. And since then, I always longed for the day that I would finally be 22. For some reason I thought of it as an achievement but being here now, it’s actually just a blessing that I am alive and healthy.

I must admit it is a very exciting period of my life because there is so much freedom. What I mean by freedom is the fact that I don’t get to answer to anyone. My parents are far away in the country but they try and check up on me maybe once a week through a call. On the other hand, I am very much single so no husband/boyfriend is on my neck. And that’s where the freedom comes in. I get to do whatever makes me happy without having to answer to anyone.

Do not get me wrong here because I understand that different people have a different perspective of freedom. My kind of free is being able to do what makes me happy. I can sit around my small apartment half naked eating my favorite snack and catching up on Game of thrones on a Sunday without having to worry about anything else.

Selfish, right?

But we gotta be a little bit selfish once in a while.

You’re probably wondering how a 22 year old ends up single. This is the period in life where we all “got it”. Which also means that it’s the period where we get our hearts broken the most. I love Love so much. I would like to say that I am a hopeless romantic but sadly, I placed my heart in the wrong hands. Emotional abuse is real guys. A man doesn’t have to physically hit you for him to abuse you. It’s those days that you get treated like trash that hurt the most. Those days when you get ignored for a week because he has” a lot do deal with” and he needed time. It makes a lady question herself so much and sometimes the silent treatment ends up making us doubt ourselves.

The good thing is that one day you wake up and realize the Queen you are and you no longer put up with the narcissist’s crap.

Being Free and Single leaves you with very few options. Loving yourself hard and hustling like nobody’s business. I’m lucky to be doing something that I love since this way everyday at work is a good day. I’ve learned to Love myself more each day. Self care is paramount in self love and as we all know self care is not cheap.

You gotta secure that bag honey!

All in all, I really love the space I am at at the moment and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
