What’s a lesson you’ve learned recently that shifted your perspective?
The issues on mental health and freedom to change. Many people do not have capacity to change by themselves. So tell them how to be or how to change is not an easy thing. I learned so much more patience and empathy than I had before.
To all that have an issue they are working on, please be kind to yourself.

What do you do to improve your sleep?
Rest is vital to a long life. We are awake a lot, and we need to recharge. Of course our bodies are still at work while sleeping but it’s needed.
I am not a doctor but to improve your sleep my key tips are this, find what comforts you. Surround yourself with that. I believe a good pillow and pillowcase like a breathable silk one does it for me. Know the pressure you need on your body in the terms of mattress. Those are really the physical I recommend.
For the mental and psychological, stress and a bad mindset are the enemy. Going to bed mad or angered is not ideal. Learn to let go, also be able to have good positive thoughts on what tomorrow can be, and with that add gratitude into day.
Lastly, knowing the value of rest is the most. Why the body needs it, will give you a drive to ensure you best use it to help your body.
Bonus, aromatherapy is way to improve. Having a happy home and bills paid. And you can probably guess the absolute last one, some good good good, enough said. 🙂

Hit 5,000 steps today and drop your achievement here — we’re cheering you on!
5,000 steps later and I am still here, actually I contributed more. The day ain’t over as yet, I mostly going to pack in a few more. Walking is a beautiful past time of mines. A good walk can cure a bad day, body aches, a bruised ego and even open your breathing “😮💨” up.
I like early morning jogs than walks. My walks are mostly reserved for the evening. That’s when reflections set in, I start to interpret my day. These are the moments my poetry and short stories start flowing.
Once I saw this prompt I was for sure going to write about it, via I know for sure I am getting my steps in.
What are people using these days to track there steps?
I am using FitBit (now called Google Health) and also an Apple Watch. At least with the FitBit App you can use your phone if you hold it on you for your walk, it counts your steps.

What’s the best way to deal with negative thoughts?
The best way to deal with negative thoughts is to understand you’re having negative thoughts. Awareness and acceptance is key. Once you know fully what it is, you can choose how to handle it. For me it’s find ways to recenter one self. The next is discover and unlock positivity in situations.
Lastly, reshaping your inner beliefs based on what you find important to express yourself how do I want to feel. Also to ask can I get there now or later.

missing out
never by chance
or reality
just before dawn

on a high
too long
being alive
living too wrong
but how
to be right
we are too hot
try to stay cool
to get to the top
