HOW TO EMBRACE YOUR CURVES.

-
Image
At one point in life or the other, we have all been self-conscious about how we look and how others perceive us. Hollywood has created this ridiculous stereotype that for you to be viewed as sexy, you have to fit a particular body type. I have started several workout programs after watching Beyoncé’ singing or watching a movie where the actress looked for ridiculously hot. Those programs did not last long because I was trying to look like someone else. Everybody is unique, just because you have curves does not mean you are unhealthy. I have been with people who I admire because they workout, they eat a healthy balanced diet but they also do not deny themselves that treat one’s in a while. They have curves, and they are proud of them because they are living a full, well-balanced life. Getting to the point where you accept yourself for who you are and live your best life is hard, but we are here to help with that. We came up with several tips to help you embrace your curves.

HOW TO BE HAPPY

-

Yester night someone tried to break into my apartment.
Okay, I might be exaggerating a little bit but someone did peep into my windows at midnight. That freaked me out so I took some precautions to protect myself.
As I lay in bed scared, clutching a knife and trying not to fall asleep I started wondering, am I really happy? What makes someone happy?
So today I decided that I shall dive head first into the Deep Ocean and try to understand what happiness means.
Some people think being happy involves having a lot of money and being surrounded by expensive stuff. I will admit that I am one of those people. Other people think being happy means having a large family. Or looking a certain way.
We base our happiness on our surroundings and circumstances.
You wake up and the first thing is to check up on Instagram and Facebook, you see the supermodels or people you think are happy and you envy them.
When my stomach is flat, I shall be happy.
When I finally buy the car, I shall be happy.
When I build my dream house, I shall be happy.
We forget the most important things sometimes; that happiness starts with us.
For us to be happy we have to choose to be happy.
I know there is the forced happiness, where you have to smile through the pain and tears. In this type of happiness, you have to remind yourself what you are grateful for. This kind of happiness is harder because we tend to remember mostly the negative things in our life instead of the positive.
Every day take a moment and just remind yourself why you are grateful to be alive.
Internalize that and use it as the bright spot to pull you through the hard times.
 But there is also the happiness where you feel like your heart is so full and it would burst at any moment. I love that kind of happiness. This kind of happiness comes with achieving dreams and goals or falling in love. The happiness is euphoric.
Although people and things may make us happy, I believe that true happiness comes from within and the only way to achieve it is through self-love.
When you learn about yourself, when you understand yourself, you will find what makes you happy.
When you understand yourself, you know what triggers you to be sad and you can avoid it.  You also know what triggers your happiness and you can embrace it. We are all human, we have our weak spots.
When you understand yourself, you can be yourself and stop trying to fit into a particular mold. You can stop trying to live other people’s lives and live your own.
Some of us, I included do not like to analyze our self because we know we will not like what we discover. We have set these impossible goals on how we are supposed to look and act that it drives us and our happiness. Today I discovered that the only way to be truly happy is to understand myself. To take time to meditate and to do what I feel is right no matter what happens.
To seat down every evening and acknowledge just one thing that makes me happy.
You can do the same. Embrace life, be your weird self because you are awesome. Be happy and always remember to smile through the pain until it does not hurt anymore.
As our mantra constantly reminds you:
You are CONFIDENCE.
YOU ARE AWESOME.
YOU ARE AMAZING.
Embrace it. Embrace you.
With all that I bid you goodbye.

COME TO WORK WITH ME: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS I TOOK AGAINST COVID-19

Excitement fills each pore in my body as I get out of bed, another great day that the Lord has granted me. As usual, I wake at six o’clock and prepare to head to work. It is not a normal day like I am used to; even as I leave my house today I have to be careful. I have to stay on alert and take care of myself. With the corona virus spread around the world, finally, it has made its way into Kenya. I appreciate the government for taking very swift measures and encouraging those who can work from home to do so. Unfortunately, I fall into the category of people who cannot work from home. Even though I do not live hand to mouth where I depend on everyday wages, my job involves a lot of physical work where I have to be present and the inventory is too large and equipment too expensive to carry home. I appreciate my employer for considering my safety and dividing the number of people who have to report to work into three groups of seven people to reduce congestion and

DEAR PRECIOUS YOU - WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT DURING COVID-19 [SIMPLEHAPPYSELF]

I do not know about you but deep down I am scared. I am scared about what will happen to me, I am scared for my family, I am scared for my job security, I am scared for my country and most important of all I am scared for the whole human population. The Covid-19 came to us like a thief in the night, no warning, no time to prepare. One day we were fine and going about our businesses, a few weeks or months later everything changed. The bridges that we formed as a society were crossed. Nobody was safe anymore. Rich or poor. White or black. Babies or the young or the elderly Man or woman. Africa or the USA. We are all affected. Jobs closed. Countries locked down. Gatherings whether happy or sad shutdown. Churches, schools and places of worship are closed. At this moment, nobody knows what is going to happen to the world. We are all at the edge of our seats, waiting with baited breathe for it to blow over. I would love to wake up tomorrow and find
