Create a Stress Free Zone

You are now entering a stress free zone.

I am working on creating a stress free zone in my home and in my mind. When I think about what a stress free zone means to me, it is a place where I let go of all worries. It is a place where I decide to have fun, laugh, smile, love myself. It is a space that when I step into it, I make an effort to leave the drama, stressful thoughts, negative behind.

I have not given much thought to creating an actual space in my home or my mind. I usually talk about it but now I am planning to make it reality. I will have to take a picture of this spot when I am done. Usually people and myself included have state that there bedroom is that stress free zone but yet they bring negativity in that space. In reality your home should be the place that shields you from that bad of the outside world but I know for a fact that my home is sometimes the cause as well. Creating a space that you are allowed to leave the stress behind is key to re-balancing yourself. It should not only trigger your to leave the stress behind but also to be silly. It is okay to be silly.

My physical stress free zone will be for myself and my kids. In this zone we will not get angry, we will laugh and smile, we will place, we will not yell or fight with each other and we will relax. Now as far as the mental one ... that is a matter of focused meditation. I will have to work on that one and come back to it. Mental stress free zone is a work in progress LOL.

Join me in making  a stress free zone. If you already have one, comment with a pic.

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

Bust Off That Gut With the Insanity Workout By Carl Barton It can be quite the dizzying experience trying to find the right workout regimen when a person decides to get back into shape. In many cases, it takes a high level of commitment to stay on track with whatever kind physical of activity and/or diet that is chosen. For people who truly desire results and have a high motor, the Insanity Workout could be the right option for a variety of reasons. The Insanity Workout is a high energy workout routine that works on the interval training method. The interval method stresses a period of high activity followed by a period of low activity. This is the key to workout regimen because it warms up muscles, builds them up, and acts as a lactic acid conditioner.
