On Starting the Day with Healthy Emotions

Good morning my people, 

Another Monday morning is here. It's the 3rd week of September and we in Nigeria are just getting back from the Muslim festival of Sallah/Eidul Adha! I hope everyone enjoyed the break despite the 'biting recession'!  :D

There's usually a mix of dread and a sinking feeling for many people especially when you have to make that early rise and return work. It seems like a huge load is placed on your back and we trudge along to report for duty, resuming the routine.

But it doesn't always have to be this way. According research, it has been found that emotions trigger release of chemicals in our body which lead to certain physiological outcomes in our body systems. And this would eventually affect the way we react from one moment to another. 

Thus to avoid starting off the day on a negative note and subsequently setting yourself up for a 'bad' week,  a person needs to become more aware of the kind of thoughts that go through their heads so that they can control the biochemical processes of their body and ensure an optimal performance physically and psychologically. 

This is why an early morning exercise - however brief - is recommended to provide clarity of mind. By clearing out the 'cache' of your mind with exercise, you become like a clean slate that is wiped and ready to receive anew! 

Furthermore, there are numerous ways of tackling negative emotions and combatting stress in your day to day activities and I share a couple below. Do take out time to go through and I promise you will be glad you did! 




Well let me allow you to face this beautiful first day of the week. Wishing you an awesome week ahead and do swing by frequently as I'll be leaving some sweet goodies for your reading pleasure!

Ramblings

So many thoughts scattered  In the ocean  That is my head I do fear for this wayfarer. And here I was thinking  I was normal  Uuntil I met you. Shattering the glasses  My assumptions  Opened the door  To the coastline of reality. Smashed to pieces  My fears  Like angry bull  In a China-shop I'm now bathed in silkiness of Serenity  Confidence my new skin I wear  Like crocodile  Or his cousin once removed,  The snake. I'd have been kidnapped  By heart and mind  If not for Providence  Who sent Guidance to guard Inhibitions have been very strict  Leaving no room for idleness  To cajole me into reverie  To send into coma of self-delusion. This journey must be concluded  To it's end which is a known  Unknown Haidarwali 201506111756hrs

A Midnight Encounter

You see when it starts to rain, the soul that luvs the rain lights up with an electric fervor! . I close my eyes and listen to the musical lyrics of raindrops drumming upon the rooftop, which pours down the drains. . I sit against the windows and watch countless slates slash against the pane and flashes of lightening streak across the reddened midnight sky. And then... . POW! CRACKOW! A blasting blare of thunder makes me shudder, almost jumping out of fright. . And then gradually the rumbling rolls away like a cartwheel leaving me with the sound of dripping raindrops like a collection of pattering feet tapdancing. . A cool breeze sifts in carrying with it the scent of wettened earth and the promise of a sweet and sound night's sleep. . Haidarwali 201805250053hrs
