All the Way Up

Nothing can stop me, I’m all the way up!


I do not always feel the hype. If I am being honest, lately I have felt like I struggle to get through the day. No doubt COVID fatigue is setting in or has already set it. Regardless, I find that I cut myself short of the accomplishments that I have made for the day. I do not give myself credit for getting my butt out of bed and getting to work and handling my affairs for the day. True, I do not always do it with the zest that this life deserves but I have made it through the day.

We do not give ourselves credit enough for getting through. We need to do better. I know life is not perfect or what you hoped it would be. Things right now make be looking bleak. Every day seems to be a new challenge that we have to deal with. Maybe a family member has taken ill or money has fallen short. There will definitely always be something on the horizon to challenge us. Yet, we rise to the occasion. It may not feel like it at the moment but as long as you are breathing and moving and acting, you are rising above your circumstance. You are not giving up. It may not feel great but it is a testament to your resilient spirit. 

Regardless of the difficulties you face, you are facing them. You are still rising. I woke up this morning with a pep in my step and decided to rock out to some hype music. Fat Joe and Remy Ma’s All the way up is my choice for the day. Whatever hype music you need to get you going, pull that up on your playlist and attack your day. Nothing can stop you!

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.
