GROWTH 🥺

Image
 I was in a very confusing stage of my life, seeking clarity and going through status updates when I saw a post about a Growth Club and accountability and whatnots. Talk about just what you need. I decided to answer the questions because even I wanted to know those answers. I did, lo and behold, I got to clarify a thing or two about myself that I had been initially confused about. Sincerely, I did need a community to help me grow. I felt really lost. And the thought of a community of people of like mind, who are also trying to work on themselves was very comforting, at least now I know I'm not joking with my life. My application was accepted, came as a shock though. And months after, the impact this community has had on my life is in no way insignificant. Including the fact that after answering the application questions, I could see the entire picture of who I was and who I wanted to be become clearer. Me reading The Alchemist 🥺 We had books of the month that we were required to r

Hypocrisy

         Almost everyone has been in a situation where the need to be someone else arises. Be it among friends, strangers and even at times family. And some people just enjoy being what they really aren't. So guys, I'm going to be giving some sort of a pep talk on 'Hypocrisy' as some people might have already deducted from what as been said above. I know what you're thinking, and I understand. But with our society today, a little bit of enlightening on these issues can't be over emphasised. I promise I won't bore you.       Hypocrisy is a tag we give pretenders. When you're not being yourself or you're pretending to have certain beliefs, attitudes or feelings you really do not. Like it or not you're being a hypocrite. Now let's not sound too harsh, they're actually sides to these things.      Toyin is always telling you to stop littering the environment. But guess what, Toyin has her own little secret. She litters too. Then you

FITNESS VS BODY GOALS

     Cindy thought of just last week, when she had been squatting up and down the estate. Taking only water, eating just fruits, pursuing body goals. Now, here she was, pack of Maryland cookies beside her, 4th bottle of soda in hand. She has decided to leave fitfam for the fit ones, she was tired. Body goals away on leave. Oops      We've been at home for quite a while now. And almost everyone is guilty of opening the fridge every two seconds. We've put on weight and want to shed some fat. While some just want that killer body at all cost (to be honest, who doesn't 😢). But have you noticed that within 2-3 weeks if this fitfam journey, we just slack and go back to our old ways just like Cindy.          I remember a time I also decided to embark on this kind of journey. It was impromptu, dieting though, and guess what? I didn't last a day. I ended up consuming more junk than I would on a normal day. I've noticed this predicament of ours and have decided to l

Tenents of productivity.

     What exactly have you been up to ever since this compulsory holiday started? Sleeping, reading all the novels you haven't touched since you can't even remember, watching movies like there's no tomorrow, working on getting that figure?          Well whatever it is you've been up to. Have you done anything productive? I know this is a one million dollar question, even I broke into sweat when I asked myself the same question 😥. I actually set up a schedule for Monday and by Wednesday, I've not even completed half the schedule I set up for Monday 😬 (it is what it is). But it's okay, be ready to get up and doing, cause I'm going to show you the way. That was weird.      One more thing guys, don't get it twisted, being busy is not being productive. You can be busy all day doing nothing. But what do I know, just saying.      Now let's get down to the main stuff. How to be productive when all you just want is to sleep and eat (that feeli
