Do What You Love!
If I was given a dime every time someone asked me what I wanted to be when I grew older, I am certain my collection would be around $100. I feel like I have heard the question 1000 times! From dreaming of sitting in the driver's seat of a big rig, to pretending I was counting down the final seconds of game seven of the NBA finals in my driveway, while putting up what I thought was the game winning shot, I believed that adulthood was going to be the fulfillment of all my dreams. I believed, without a doubt, that anything was possible. You grow old, and live life exactly how you imagined, doing what you love... at least that is what I believed at the time.

Accepting Your Flaws
Everyone at some point in their life has disliked or even hated some parts of their bodies—except if you think extremely highly of yourself and have always thought you were perfect, then cheers to you. It may have started in your early days, or in your 20s, or much later in your life. With me it was my skin, my hair, and my teeth; it seems like a lot of stuff to dislike about yourself, and it is. It was not the color of my skin per se, it was what happened to it. When I was about four or five years old, I got into a home accident and I was burnt by some hot beans. When I tell people this, they think it’s weird. But you can get burnt by anything hot, it’s the temperature that counts. My aunt was making some delicious porridge beans, and my clumsy self stumbled into the place making a fuss about hot chocolate—I loved it so much then, I had it every night. In an effort to get me out of the kitchen, I mistakenly hit it and fell, and the whole thing came tumbling down. I can’t remember the pain, but I know I was in a lot of pain. I believe my aunt poured water on me, which made it worse—some research says that works sometimes. Honestly, I don’t know, I'm not a medical person, I just know it made it worse. My parents weren't around so my neighbors had to take me to the hospital. I remember it so well: There were a lot of people in the car, it was a family, so the husband in the driver's seat, the wife in the passenger's seat carrying me, their daughter in the backseat, and there were others in the backseat—I can’t remember who they were (I guess not so well now, Chimdi). I remember their daughter crying because we were close friends. I looked at her wondering why she was crying so much when I was the one in pain, I wasn’t even crying that hard 😀 ha... not for long, because I turned and I looked at myself and I started screaming, again, because my skin was peeling. I wasn’t in that much pain, it was the fact that my skin was peeling that made me cry. I’m actually laughing writing this, but that’s why time heals.

No Lack of Good Ideas
Since the dawning of this age of convenience and technology, the human race has been programmed to”play it safe.” We have been taught through the smack on our hand by parents, the failing mark on a school test, the firing of that first post college job, the awards given to those that put in the most effort, as well as those that don’t, the phrases, “just get a good job,” “just be happy,” ”just get through the week,” to go through life doing the right thing, not making mistakes, not failing, and you will overall “be fine.”

10 Tips for a Happier, Stress-Free Lifestyle
Here are 10 things that can help to reduce your stress and help you live a happier lifestyle. 1. Eat a healthier diet. Eating healthy is one way that can assist you in living a more stress-free lifestyle. The foods we eat affect how we feel and when the body is under stressful situations we need healthy eating habits to help fight the urge to stress eat. When people are feeling stress the body produces excess cortisol, a hormone made by the adrenal gland. This hormone causes the body’s sugar levels to decrease which in turn causes the body to crave sugary snacks. Experts from UCLA Health explain how a nutritious diet can work to offset stress on the body by helping the immune system, energize the body, and stabilize blood pressure.
