Rolling it off my back.

"That’s my gift. l let that negativity roll of me like water off a duck's back. If it's not positive,l didn't hear it,lf you can overcome that,fights are easy"
    -George Foreman

Are you able to let things roll off your back or do lots of things really get to you?


Have you learn to relax,take things easy and worry less?

Letting things roll off our back means we're ready to:-

*Stand up and stand out.

*Worry less about what others think about us.

*Letting things go rather than dwelling in the past.

*Believing in yourself.

*Doing things that make you happy and believe in today.

What's the big thought? ........ Just gisting

Just gisting.


I finally got to watch the popular film October 1st by kunle Afolayan and  l was blow away.For me it wasn't the usual kind of story I would have thought of Nigeria's independence day.It was a different story yet it drove the message he wanted to achieve.  It was unique and a fresh of breath air.
That's what bringing a new dimension to whatever you do does.
Talking about bringing a new dimension to our endeavours,l recently wanted to change my looks and dread lock my hair because I wanted something easy and comfortable for me.
But I didn't want the usual dreads we see around,so I thought out of the box and invented something new for myself.
And I got the whoah effect I wanted.

Back to October 1st and other films  by kunle Afolayan I just love the dimension he took in the kind of films he wants to produce and we keep getting the "whoah effects" anytime we watch his productions.

Have you thought about bringing a new dimension and thinking outside the box to whatever you do of lately and getting that "whoah effects"you have always wanted.  ****winks****

Women in business.
Get Inspired. .....

Qoute of the day.

Quote of the day for every great mother out there striving to attain the role of a great mum to her kids.

This is a role we must participate actively to breed great children. 

The first role model and medium of learning to children is the mother. 

And that is why we must have a sense of goodness in our being  because this reflects in our interaction and the outcome of our children. 

Our future leaders of tomorrow.

The personality of our kids in future depends on the input we put in place while growing up.

Keep the great job up mothers by breeding children with great personality.

Benefits of involving children in active community services development in our society.

We want leaders that will give back to the society,we want leaders and youths with a sense of humanity.
We want children who will show compassion for others and  understand the plight of people.


But we forget that we are lacking in our duties and responsibilities to instil in our children...leaders of tomorrow these basic principles of life.



What attitude as parents do we have for our kids to emulate.
What has the school curriculum taught these leaders of tomorrow about community services.
And what example as the society shown to them to make children have human feelings?
This is all about everyone.
It's high time we start engaging our children in active community service development.Once our children are involve in giving back to the society it becomes part of their personal development.

We don't need to start preaching when they become adults.They are already impressing us because they are giving back to the society because it has become an integral part of their character.



Then,in the nearest future we shall start to have youths and leaders who will have a mentality of making sure that each of their jurisdiction is adequately taken care of according to their capabilities.

I foresee a kind of future where aspiring leaders will come to manifestos and political debates with a portfolio of the services to humanity they have rendered and not "When I become. ........... l will construct roads,l will build schools and so on like we hear in our present day.



God Bless Nigeria!!!

Stress and it's effect on women.

Everytime I think about the duties and responbilities the  21st century woman passes through I always give kudos to the way we multi-task to attain the role of a great wife,wonderful mother and achiever in our various fields.But one of the things that affects our well being is stress.
            ********
What Is Stress?
Stress is the body's reaction to harmful
situations -- whether they’re real or
perceived. When you feel threatened, a
chemical reaction occurs in your body that
allows you to act in a way to prevent injury.
This reaction is known as "fight-or-flight,” or
the stress response. During stress response,
your heart begins to race, breathing quickens,
muscles tighten, and blood pressure rises.
You’ve gotten ready to act. It is how you
protect yourself.



According to a recent survey by the American
Psychological Association, stress is on the rise
for women. Women are more likely to report
having stress, and almost 50% of all women in
the survey, compared to 39% of the men,
reported that their stress had increased over
the past 5 years. 9 Stress also has unique
effects on women. A recent NICHD study
found that stress might reduce a woman’s
chance of becoming pregnant.



Why do some experts feel that women are
particularly susceptible to stress?
Women are socialized to be the caretakers of
others. More women than men have both a
career outside the home and continue to try to
juggle traditional responsibilities after hours.
Over 70% of married women with children
under the age of 18 are employed outside the
home. Sociologists describe women as
struggling to achieve the "male standard" at
work, while trying to maintain the perfect wife
and mother standards at home.


What are some common signs of stress?
Everyone responds to stress a little
differently. Your symptoms may be different
from someone else’s. Here are some of the
signs to look for:
Not eating or eating too much
Feeling like you have no control
Needing to have too much control
Forgetfulness
Headaches
Lack of energy
Lack of focus
Trouble getting things done
Poor self-esteem
Short temper
Trouble sleeping
Upset stomach
Back pain

General aches and pains
These symptoms may also be signs of
depression or anxiety, which can be caused by
long-term stress.


What activities can help relieve stress?
Here are some examples of activities that can
help to refresh the body and mind:
Taking baths
Reading
Doing breathing exercises
Receiving back rubs/massages
Listening to relaxation tapes
Writing in a journal
Meeting with a friend
Napping
Walking
Dancing
Engaging in spiritual reflection
Stretching
Listening to music
Finding it hard to untangle?
Seek a little help:
Individual psychotherapy
Support group therapy
Biofeedback
Relaxation training

Discolouration during pregnancy.

Have you just a had a test to confirm you are pregnant?
Whoah !Great news.....Pregnancy can be fun with all the excitement of expecting to see your bundle of joy.But also comes with lots of hormonal changes in the body system you keep wondering where was your old self.
One of the changes that happens during pregnancy is Skin discoloration technically known as hyperpigmentation.
Hyperpigmentation occurs when your body
kicks up its production of melanin, causing
patches of skin discoloration. Sometimes these
darker spots occur in places where your skin is
already a little darker, like your breasts and
nipples, or your genitals. Moles, freckles and
even scars may look a little darker.
As many as 70 percent of pregnant women may
notice patches of discoloration on their faces,
especially on the cheeks, forehead, chin and
upper lip, says Dr. Kroumpouzos. This
distinctive discoloration is called melasma, or
"the mask of pregnancy." According to Dr.
Kroumpouzos, melasma can show up in three
patterns: in a kind of circle that covers the
center of your face; along your cheeks and
nose; or on the sides of your cheeks and along
your jawline. Sometimes, melasma can also
occur on your forearms. Doctors aren't sure
why, but women with darker skin are more
likely to develop melasma than fairer-skinned
girls, according to the American Academy of
Family Physicians.


WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT
You probably can’t prevent pregnancy skin
discoloration, but you can help minimize its
effects by being extra-vigilant.
Keep your skin under wraps. Exposure to the
sun seems to make skin discolorations darker,
even if you use sunscreen. Try a hat with a
visor that shades your face, and pull out
those long sleeves.
If you have chloasma, apply sunscreen daily
on your skin during pregnancy, even on days
you aren't going outside. Plenty of the sun's
rays come in through the window and can
affect your skin.
Some experts believe that discolorations are
linked to folic acid deficiency. Make sure
you're getting enough through your diet
and/or in your prenatal.

Child Care:Dyslexia

Dyslexia is the name given to children or adults who experience difficulty with learning to read. Often they perform quite well in other learning areas for some time but eventually the dyslexic problem will have an effect on their overall learning. Dyslexic children tend to spell words in a peculiar way with letters back to front or in the wrong sequence. They often know which letters to write but they will place them in the wrong order................. e.g.  English - Engilsh   does - dose   when - wehn
