Not everyone can get an iPhone

If Bill Gates if your father, forget about getting an iPhone, iPod, or iAnything for that matter. He is Mr. Microsoft and I cannot blame him, no matter how cool the kids might think it is, for banning the Apple products from his home.

Let me own a McDonalds and my kids come up in my house with a Burger King Whopper. They better think twice especially when I can get them any kind of burger they could possible want. Bill Gates can get his kids any kind of tech toy they could want. The only reason they would have a need for the iPhone is to fill in their cool factor.

Look, I want and iPhone but not because I am actually going to utilize all of its cool functions. I just want it because of the brand awareness and the “cool” factor associated with the brand. Now, how about Microsoft put out something better than the iPhone and make things interesting.

As far as the iPod goes, I think the Zune is pretty cool. The only problem is that since it doesn’t have the brand association and “cool” factor like the iPhone, it should not be priced a little lower. I can’t see myself paying the same for a Zune as I would an iPhone, which I why I have neither. I am rocking a nice Phillips GoGear mp3 player that is working great for me.

Do Something Different

Do something different. Shake your life up a bit. Our brains are funny little 3 pound masses that can take us for a loop and we are still learning so much about it. As much as I enjoy having a routine in my life because it gives me the illusion of having control, variety is also key for cognitive health. Soomi Lee, PhD, assistant professor in the USF College of Behavior and Community Sciences reports "findings suggest that active and engaged lifestyles with diverse and regular activities are essential for our cognitive health." I am not a regular baker but I wanted to do something different. I have not baked in quite some time and I probably won't even eat all the cake but it was a fun and different activity to do. So even if you do not do something drastic. Shaking things up even a little bit can help change the trajectory of your thought, attitude and day.  Article Source:  Variety and consistency are essential to keep the mind health My related Tiktok below @wandatob

Redirect Your Focus away from Lizzo

Redirect Your Focus away from Lizzo Scroll down to listen to the podcast here Recently a comedian has been under fire for making hurtful comments toward the artist Lizzo about her weight. Aries Spears in an attempt to be funny mocks Lizzo about her weight and her looks. He also goes on to say that he can get away with being a big dude and women cannot. He then attempts to pivot in a spectacular show of hypocrisy that instead of supporting her expressions of confidence women should be pointing out potential health issues linked with obesity. Sir! What are you doing? I really wanted to take this opportunity to point out that we as a people, as a nation should be less focused on individuals and more on the industry that’s putting crappy overprocessed foods on the shelves. They are appealing to our need for convenience. They are using science and psychology to influence us to buy these crappy foods. And let's face it, who doesn’t love a good sweet or salty snack or fast food that we ca

For people who truly desire results and have a high motor, the Insanity Workout could be the right option for a variety of reasons.
