Dropping Bombshell News

There are instances when old news comes out at weird, random times. The first thing I wonder is why did the person feel the need to share the information at that particular time.

Azealia Banks who is the wild child of our entertainment industry recently decided to share that she and a very-married Dave Chappel had sex. Black Twitter of course hilariously jumped all over the news. Azealia Banks has historically been mean, insulting, crass, and over the top with her shock value comments. It seems as though she is doing it to stay relevant or she just does not really care about the consequences. It is unfortunate, as I find her to actually be a talented artist. Her talents definitely get overshadowed by her reckless mouth.

The issue here is a potentially huge one for Dave Chappelle as it jeopardizes his marriage, should her claims be taken seriously. It comes at an interesting time for him being that he has been doing well in his career. He is the definition of come back king. However, what I find particularly interesting, is the motive behind dropping bombshell news that can potentially ruin lives.

Do not get me wrong. Dave Chappelle has to deal with the consequences of his actions if what Azealia volunteered is true. Although, if it is, she knew it and decided to willingly enter into this illicit exchange. So why now, do you decide to drop this news?

When people choose to unnecessarily hurt other people it is a reflection of their own pain. It may be a lack of self-respect or self-esteem (at the time) for getting involved in the situation in the first place, followed by a way to lash out. Someone who constantly lashes out at others, causing pain for those around her, is not at peace internally.
All of human unhappiness comes from one single thing: not knowing how to remain at rest in a room. - Blaise Pascal

It takes quite a bit of inner peace to remain at rest in a world that is constantly moving in a chaotic fashion. It requires a level of self-awareness and constant mindfulness. It requires work, heavy lifting of the mind, body and spirit. Careless regard for oneself will vibrate to others and create havoc. That same havoc will bounce right back to you.

Sometimes people purposely intend to be hurtful with the news they spill. Whatever the motive, it is not rooted in a place of kindness, not kindness to oneself nor to the targeted people.

Like Offset said, Anything for Clout. I can't speak to whether it is true or not but either way it is to get attention. I'm assuming it was (if true) consensual.

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. By building up a lactic acid tolerance, muscles become stronger while building up someone's endurance. When applying this kind of aerobic training to the human body, the pyramid system is a base model for the workout routine.
