A Truth About Anxiety
Things have been hectic. For me busy is good. I need a focus to keep myself in the right place especially with my anxiety. But, In everything else going well, I haven’t been able to post much. This month is Mental Health and Wellness Awareness, so I want to keep steady with the content because a regular schedule is helpful when dealing with mental health. As I get older, I am very aware of how I respond to different triggers after years of suppressing my feelings and using nonhelpful coping mechanisms.

Struggles of Moving into New Quarter
Today is April 1, usually a time for mischief. But, today it doesn’t feel like fun and games. Who wants to play pranks when real life feels like one exhausting joke? Yesterday, I got to play some beach volleyball with my friends. The day was beautiful, the competition was good, and the company was great. But looking back through day there where little shadows of unfortunate events. The last of those being the lost of a great member of the community, Nipsey Hussle. Every time something happened that wasn’t aligned with positive energy, I stopped, prayed, and radiated as much positivity into the universe as I could. But the end…

I Am in Control
Saturday is I am in Control Day. This should be an international holiday for us! What a great day to celebrate being selfish by getting our lives more in order and minimizing the feeling of being “out of control.” As we end the first quarter of the year, we must maintain control of our journey for the next part of the year. We should have a clear vision for the rest of our year and have the plans in place to get them done. You don’t need to have specifics in place but look at what you have accomplished thus far. What would you like to change or add to…
