MY MORNING ROUTINE

-


I usually wake up at 4am on weekdays and 7am on Saturdays and Sundays. This routine is majorly my routine on weekdays (Perhaps I’ll share my routine for weekends.

At 4am when I wake up, I conveniently turn off the alarm clock and think for few seconds if I really have to wake up at that time. I finally get off the bed at 4:03am

PRAY/MEDITATE
I say my morning prayers and mediate. I also declare some already written down self-affirmations and after that I drink two cups of water. This usually lasts between 4:03am and 4:30am. At this time everywhere is pretty quiet and concentration is at its peak

WORK
I usually write down my to-do list for the next day just before I go to bed and also choose a blog topic if I’m supposed to post the next day. Between 4:30 through 5:30am, I publish on the blog over a cup of coffee. As soon as I’m done with editing and publishing, I prep for my workout and respond to emails that needs urgent attention or response.

EXERCISE
I love to exercise in the morning, that way when I come back from work in the evening, I spend time reading or probably planning for the next day. It’s pretty easier for me to take a walk in the evenings and de-clutter my mind and sleep really light. I have a daily written down exercise plan which I follow. I take a cup of black coffee just 15 minutes before my exercise. This exercise takes roughly one hour (5:30am – 6:30am)

BREAKFAST
My breakfasts are really very important to me. I make them really nutritious and at least it goes with a fruit. After my bath. I take my breakfast and proceed to prepare for work. Usually while I prepare for work I either listen to an audio book or listen to the news to catch up on events happening.
I leave for work at 7:30am or a little later than that. At this point I had done most of all I need to do in the morning and I feel so fulfilled and accomplished.

Mornings are really very important to me, and once I win in the morning (achieve my purpose) then the rest of the day is won. There is usually this amazing feeling that goes with working when everyone is sleeping and everywhere is noiseless.  
So here is my morning routine and I’ll like to know yours as well.

5 Ways To Get Out Of A BAD Mood

-
Image
We sometimes get into a really bad mood either after having a conversation that didn’t end well, a work meeting that ended on a sour note, a bad hair or dress day or even having a bad mood that you have no clue at the moment as to why you feel so moody or sad.  These feelings can longer and end up ruining the whole day and disrupting a great opportunity for us to live this wonderful life. After the words “Once today goes by, you can NEVER get it back” sank deep into my consciousness and even my sub-consciousness, I take the most of each day and try to enjoy this life.  So here are my 5 ways to snap out  of a bad mode quickly.  1) Acknowledge the reason that put you in a bad mood. Now this is not the time to address it. It’s just for you to recognize that you are in a bad mood and what is causing it.  2) Change environment. Stepping away from the surrounding or change of scenery is the next best step to take if you want to get out of a bad mood. Remaining at the same place can cause you

The War Within

The brown rusty leaves rolled over her legs as she sat helpless on the grass. The park was sparsely populated which made it very easy to stay unnoticed. Lifting her head, struggling to see through the heavy clog of tears welling up in her eyes. The day was getting dark, darkness has become her place of solace. She kept a steady gaze at the kids running freely, playing catch while she battled with the decision of either staying back or going home. Home? That house didn’t feel like home and it hasn’t felt like home in a long while. The mind drifted to when she was a child with little or nothing contending for space or attention in her head except for love and the ‘’can do spirit’’, which spurred her to fly without wings and run without shoes to distances that were unimaginable. She lived as free as the wind and that was the bliss of childhood which she fought to get rid of and step into adult shoes. Since stepping into those overly talked about shoes, its been filled with

THE UNKNOWN CALL

-
Image
I twisted to critically appraise my curves in the tall glass one last time. I had not watched television or gone on a proper date for over three months, not since work had become so demanding. Part of me still aggrandized the image of lying in bed, snacking on a good pan pizza and finally sleeping off on some random Netflix movies. I twitched the pleat on the skirt and adjusted the waist line. Needless to say, I looked good and the mental picture stuck. The buzzing of my phone interrupted my thoughts. My mind quickly raced to my date. His surname was yet to stick and so was my need to get seriously involved with another man. The caller was unknown and on sliding the green icon on the screen, his voice came live. ‘’Miss jones’’? Yes, speaking” ‘’I’m guessing you know miss Edith Uwaoma’’? Yes, I do, but who is on the line’’? The voice on the other end of the line was far from familiar. He said evasively, ‘’Please make your way to the hosp
