August 8, 2020 By in Lifestyle Tags: , , , , , , , Leave a comment

The charity I am promoting this month is Yarang Llamisi Foundation. This is a non-profit, non-governmental organisation, set up in 2020, to empower, equip, and educate women and girls of  Zambuk town, in Gombe State, Nigeria. It is a registered charity in Nigeria and England, with a focus on providing secondary school education to young girls as well as vocational training. The vocational training is also available to the women of the community. There is also a “second chance entrepreneurial project” available to the women of Zambuk town and surrounding villages. This project gives the women a second chance to set up a business or grow an existing business.

Yarang Llamisi Foundation

Yarang Llamisi Foundation is a charity I am passionate about because it focuses on some of the least privileged people in society. Female children are after left behind when it comes to education in Africa. These young girls end up being forced to go into early marriages. This cycle carries on from generation to generation, with no end in sight. Providing free education and voluntary training will keep the young girls in school and equip them with the skills needed to excel in life.

Education is the pathway to a better life with better job prospects. If you want to give a girl-child a good life, you should give her the gift of formal education. The voluntary training also helps the children and women develop life skills that will come in handy. Educating the women and children of the community will elevate not just their families but the entire community. This is one of the reasons why I Yarang Llamisi Foundation is a blessing to the people of Zambuk town and beyond.

Studying a course a week. Reading a book a week.

I am officially done with the first year of university. The second-year starts in October. The last set of assignments was submitted in April and studies have been on pause since there. The break is a very long one, so I have decided to carry on studying over the break. Taking that many months off studying will leave me with a lot of free time, I rather stay busy especially with all that we are currently experiencing. I have decided to do a free course a week with The Open University. I started my first-course last week and only just finished. The course was titled – Making sense of mental health, and it was a great first course in my studying a course a week challenge.  

Studying a course a week

The course is a level 2 intermediate stage. It took me a few hours to complete the course but it takes most people 10 hours to complete the course. I really enjoyed studying this course. It is relevant to my degree in psychology and I always wanted to learn more about mental health. This course enabled me to make sense of the different mental health illnesses, how they get treated by different professionals and it also enabled me to get familiar with the terms used in diagnoses and treatment.

Reading a book a week

This week, I will be starting a new course and I am seriously looking forward to it. This week’s course is all about attachment in the early years. It is all about the research in the attachment in early childhood. I dedicate a few hours a day to study in between work, homeschooling the kiddies, and everything else. It is my way of staying on top of my learning. I am also still reading a book a week on my Amazon Kindle. The book I am reading this week is Conversations with God: An Uncommon Dialogue Book 2 by Neale Donald Walsch.

I finished reading the Book 1 last week and I went straight on to the second book. The series is really good. I am loving all the words of wisdom in the books. You can check it out via the link below –

 

Morning routine: What do you do with your first waking hour?

June 16, 2020 By in Lifestyle Tags: , , , , , 9 Comments

The first hour of the day is very important. It usually sets the pace for how the rest of the day will go. I like to wake up before the rest of the house gets up. It helps me have a full hour to myself and plan the rest of my day. Gone are the days when I have to drag myself out of bed. These days, I take charge of my day by going to bed a little earlier than I used to do and waking up an hour before the kiddies get out. Having that full hour gives me the time to meditate, pray, reflect, and listen to uplifting tracks and podcasts.

I also find some time to exercise later in the morning but that is after my first waking hour. Exercising in the morning helps me stay fit and healthy, plus it allows me get my energy levels up but I also try not to stress my body too much so I don’t have to deal with pains and aches. If you struggle with pains after exercising, Kratom for pain relief is a great natural painkiller you could try.

What do you do with your first waking hour? What does your morning routine look like?

Morning routine: What do you do with your first waking hour?

Waking up earlier than required allows you to spend the time doing what you need to do to start your day right. The first hour allows you to spend time on what matters to you and I get a lot done in that first waking hour. Everyone should have some sort of morning routine. The time you wake doesn’t really matter. It all depends on your lifestyle and household. I like to wake up for 6 am because that time works great. It allows me to get the right amount of sleep and wake earlier than the rest of the house, without feeling grumpy or tired.

This morning routine is a big thing for me. I was never a morning person until having the twins forced me to be a morning person. Even then, I was still very much a night owl until some months ago. These days, I like to be in bed before 11 pm,( most times I am in bed a lot earlier) and I have realised I am a lot happier. My morning routine keeps me energised and getting to sleep a lot more is great for my mental health.

Do you have a morning routine?
