Success Tips For You!!!

Pause & Pounder!

1. Find What You Are Good At

This links in to finding your purpose. We all have a gift, something that separates us from others. For some this gift will differ. Some people have the gift of writing, others sport, others leading.  You should find what you are good at and don’t stop there. You’ve got to do it to the very best of your ability. I think that many people underestimate what this means. You’ve got to dedicate every breath in your body to that thing. This is what makes people stand out and what will make you, if you do it, stand out.


2. Are Your Habits Today, In Line With Your Dreams For Tomorrow?
​​​​​​​
We all have big dreams, admirable dreams, dreams that excite us for the future. The dreams are possible, there’s no doubt about that. However, what we do each day can either bring them to life or keep them at bay, never to be actualized. A lot of the time, our habits are the things stopping us from achieving our dreams. What are  your habits? If your habits today are not in sync with your dreams for tomorrow then you’re not going to achieve them. It’s that simple.


3. Don't Be Afraid Of Failure

If you really want to be successful you’ve got to get rid of your fear of failure. Sometimes you’ll miss. But one thing you should never do is allow the misses to stop you from taking shots. You’ve got to keep shooting because if you keep shooting, you increase your probability of success. Keep Shooting.

Early Morning Ritual To Kickstart Your Day

You don’t have to be a morning person to benefit from morning rituals. Most people hit snooze, roll out of bed and into some clothes while plunging into their day without a plan. You, however, can choose to approach your day mindfully. Being mindful will increase the odds that you will feel good, be more productive and end up happier when it’s all over.

Meditation

Meditation or even some simple breathing can help you begin your day with a sense of calm. Instead of reaching for your phone or checking email first thing in the morning, take just a few minutes to sit and experience the quiet. There is plenty of activity during our day, make a commitment to start on a quieter note. It will set the tone for your day and will help increase your focus, energy, and optimism.

REFLECT IN GRATITUDE

“If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, ‘thank you,’ that would suffice.” – Meister Eckhart Start your day by reflecting on what you are grateful for. A consistent practice of gratitude in the mornings will increase your awareness of gratitude throughout your day. It will also make you more resilient when challenges occur and help you put drama in perspective.

SET YOUR DAILY INTENTION

In the quiet of the day, before the fires need putting out, plan your day by focusing on three goals you want to accomplish. Make those goals a priority for the day. When you set about planning your day with intention, you are more likely to feel productive at the end of it.

PAD YOUR SCHEDULE

As you go about setting your daily intentions, pad your schedule to allow yourself to tend to fires as they arise. Padding your schedule with free time will give you a better chance of achieving your goals and may even add some downtime throughout the day.

HYDRATE

Your body awakens dehydrated, so it is very important to drink up first thing in the morning. Donna Gates suggests you drink half of your entire daily water intake by mid-morning. It will flush your system of toxins, leave you feeling less hungry and reduce headaches throughout the day.

STRETCH

You will be hard-pressed to find anyone who doesn’t wake up feeling a bit stiff. It isn’t always easy to incorporate exercise into a morning routine. If you were going to choose one thing, the American Journal of Sports Medicine suggests adding a short muscle-stretching sequence of exercises to your morning schedule. Studies show that consistent stretching in the morning can increase flexibility, improve circulation, reduce stress throughout your day and improve posture.

LISTEN TO MUSIC

Starting your day with upbeat and fun music will not only wake you up but it will fill you with positive energy for your day. A 2013 study found that music makes you feel good. According to study participants, the two most important benefits of listening to music are “mood regulation” and “self-awareness.” Not only has it been shown to improve your mood but it can end up increasing motivation, performance, and lead to a better night’s sleep too.

SMILE

Start your day off by smiling at yourself in the bathroom mirror. Smiling will have a positive effect on your overall attitude and well-being, even when it starts out a little forced. Smiling makes you more approachable, and appear more trustworthy. In fact, The University of Montpellier discovered that smiling will also make you a more effective leader.

VCLEAN UP AFTER YOURSELF

Life is busy and morning routines can be a bit rushed. It can be very tempting when you are running behind to leave your clothes on the floor, dishes in the sink or leave the trash until later. Just do put them away! Procrastination around cleaning up after yourself can prevent you from realizing our highest potential and best work. It also allows you to relax fully upon returning home. It is better to pro-actively clean up after yourself than waiting to be called out on it.

DO YOUR HARDEST TASK FIRST

It might seem enticing to get a bunch of easy things checked off your to-do list, but it has been shown time and time again that doing your hardest task first leads to a more productive and happier day. You are more likely to remember the day as being a good one when your day gets better and is easier over time. The bonus: it helps stop procrastination over the things we like to do the least.

Make YOU a Priority...

It is important that you make time for yourself--you can't help others if you don't help yourself first. What's needed is radical self-care:

Be deliberate in your choices. We can't be all things to all people. Sort out what's really important to you and exercise your right to say no. Saying no is saying yes to yourself.

Alone Time. Set aside at least ten minutes daily to reflect; make it part of your routine. Your priorities are always changing. If you don't take stock of what you need and want, you'll be operating from what worked in the past.

Brag to You, About You. Do you get stuck on what you didn't do rather than what you've actually accomplished? Give yourself the credit you deserve; you do a lot.

I Value You. Cheers

The Importance of Dream Board

What are the advantages of having a Dream Board?

The advantages are as follows:-

‎1. It is a joyous and fun activity. It

allows us to become a child once more.

2. It clarifies our goals and is also a gentle ‎reminder to us to chase our goals and dreams.

Sometimes our morale is down. By looking at the ‎dream board at the wall will spur us once more.

‎

3. It is a great tool to help us with
visualisation. Not many people can visualise ‎vividly. Therefore holding a mental picture of what we want for about ten to fifteen minutes a day will allow us to focus sharply and achieve our goals. Do you know that visualisation is one of the most powerful mind exercises that one can do?
Olympians use imagery as mental training.

4. It gives us a chance to think beyond our l‎imitations. It aids us in helping us to open up‎ and attract opportunities to transform those

dreams into reality.

‎

5. It encourages us to take action. 

‎

I hope we all learn something from the sharing

The Truth About Life and You

1. Never stop learning. With the rate at which technologies are changing today, if you decide that you are “done” learning, you will be left behind within a matter of years, if not sooner. The idea that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks is blatantly false, and you will never wake up and regret having invested in your mind by learning something new
2. Diversify. Hand in hand with learning, if you stick to only doing what you know, or what you are good at, you may quickly find that you’re only good at one thing. We need to be agile, nimble, and interested in many different things. Otherwise, you could get stuck in a job or career you don’t love, or that goes with the times. Think of the taxi driver threatened by Uber or the customer service person replaced by a chatbot.  
3. You can go fast alone, but you can go farther together. In other words, teamwork makes the dream work. Many people claim they don’t like to work in teams, but the ability to work well in teams is vital if you want to succeed. The idea of the solo auteur is a myth; every big idea needs a team to make it happen.
4. Worrying doesn’t achieve anything.The antidote to fear and anxiety is action and hustle. If you’re wasting time because you’re afraid to pursue an idea, speak up, or are worried what others will think of you, you won’t achieve your goals. If you push through the worry and the fear, however, and take action, you’ll almost always find that you were worried about nothing.
5. Failure is not an end. If you give up when you fail, you’ll never learn anything. Instead, look at failure as an opportunity, as the beginning of a new journey. If you do, you’re much more likely to try again and succeed at something else.
6. Happiness is a journey, not a destination. So many people put off their happiness; they think, “I’ll be happy when I get that job, when I lose that weight, when I’m in a relationship, when I’m out of a relationship…” and so on. But we can choose to be happy.  Happiness is a habit and a choice. No matter what your situation, if you can approach it with an attitude of happiness, you will be more successful.

THE 5 D’S TO ADDING VALUE TO ONE’S LIFE

Natural Remedies For Your Sagging Breast...

Every woman in the world wishes to have good-looking and well formed breasts through their whole life. The breast sagging is a process that comes with age as a result of losing their flexibility and mildness.

Here are many simple and easy home remedies that you can try to firm sagging breasts. 

1. Ice Massage

Ice massage is also considered very effective to regain firmness in sagging breasts and uplift them. The cold temperature will cause the tissue to contract, in turn making the breasts appear firmer and more lifted.

1. Take 2 ice cubes and massage them in circular motions around each of your breasts for 1 minute only.
2. Dry the breasts with a soft towel and immediately put on a proper fitting bra.
3. Stay in a reclining position for 30 minutes.
4. Do this at regular intervals throughout the day.

Note: Do not expose your breasts to ice for more than 1 minute at a time as it can cause numbness.

2. Shea Butter

Another natural ingredient to firm and tighten breasts is shea butter. It is a great source of vitamin E that tightens the skin to give your breasts a firmer appearance. Also, it helps prevent cell damage caused by free radicals.

1. Rub some shea butter onto your breasts.
2. Massage in an upward and circular direction for 10–15 minutes.
3. Leave it on for another 10 minutes and then wash it off with water.
4. Follow this remedy 3 or 4 times a week to see noticeable results.

3. Olive Oil

Massaging your breasts with olive oil is an excellent technique to firm sagging breasts. Olive oil is a rich source of antioxidants and fatty acids that can reverse the damage caused by free radicals and prevent sagging breasts. Plus, it will help improve the skin tone and texture.

1. Put some olive oil onto your palms and rub them together to generate heat.
2. Rub your palms over your breasts in an upward motion.
3. Massage gently for about 15 minutes to increase blood flow and stimulate cell repair.
4. Follow this remedy at least 4 or 5 times per week.

You can also use almond, argan, avocado or jojoba oil to massage your breasts. 

4. Exercise

Those with saggy breasts must incorporate exercise in their daily routine. Exercises that target breast tissues and pectoral muscles around the chest can help a lot to add firmness.

Some exercises that can effectively lift up and firm sagging breasts are– chest presses and pulls, arm raises, round-about push-ups, and dumbbell flyes.

Additional Tips

• Avoid extreme dieting as drastic weight loss in a short time span can cause your breasts to sag.
• Always wear the right fitting bra to provide enough support for your breasts. If needed, wear a push-up bra to give your breasts proper support. Wear a sports bra while doing aerobic exercises, playing tennis, jogging or doing any kind of workout that causes the breasts to bounce.
• If you are overweight, lose weight. Excessive body weight causes the skin to stretch and breasts to sag.
• You can also try yoga to tone and tighten the breasts within a realistic range.
• Eat healthy foods with essential nutrients like proteins, vitamins, calcium, minerals, carbohydrates and essential fats that are required to firm up the breasts.

Enjoy.

Falling In Love

Hey Gorgeous,

Fall in love with someone who chooses you just as confidently as you choose them. Commit to the person who lifts you up whenever things get rough, the person who fights to make things work when the reality of life gets difficult and discouraging.

Fall in love with someone who sees the wars within you and not only chooses to stay, but chooses to stand by your side and help you fight them. Strive to find someone who cradles your dark, who embraces your light, someone who always wants to be your best when you yourself are not your best; someone who reminds you of every strong thing you are whenever you feel feeble.

Fall in love with someone who does not make you feel like you are hard to love. Give your heart to someone who does not call you weak for feeling so deeply, someone who adores the soft creature you are, and who fights to protect it in a hardened world.

Fall in love with someone who challenges you, who inspires you to think and feel. Fall in love with someone who ignites a wildness within you; someone who grows your mind just as much as they grow your heart.

Fall in love with someone who respects you for changing because they understand that it means you’re growing. Dedicate yourself to the person who stands in awe of how you bloom, how you flourish; someone who loves you not only for who you are, but for who you have the potential to be.

Please, do not ever settle for less. Keep waiting. Keep learning about yourself, keep trying and fighting for the heart within your chest. Keep growing and nourishing your wants, keep discovering your needs. When the time is right, you are going to fall in love with someone who will appreciate everything you stand for, who will compliment you in ways you never imagined. When the time is right, the love you have always been worthy of will flower within your life, and you will finally, finally, understand why you had to wait so long.

Major Things You Should Never Do to Please a Man…

There are certain things you should never do for a man in order to make him happy, these are some of them.

Many ladies in the society have been brainwashed into believing it is entirely up to them to keep a man at home and make a relationship work. This is the mentality that is being passed on to the young ladies who have attained the age of marriage.

Words like love, faith, patience, resilience, commitment, dedication and prayer are terms you have to deal with as couples. Women are not born with these qualities or virtues; the strong and reputable women you see in the environment had to work on themselves. A woman who has all these qualities is considered to be refined.

For a woman to be able to possess these qualities, that means it is possible to find men with outstanding qualities too. So why do women weigh themselves down with the burden of making relationships and marriages work if the holy matrimony is perceived to be a hypocritical religious devotion by the men?

This primitive school of thought has subjected lots of women to slavery in their relationships; they have forced themselves to endure scorn and hardships while some put up with cheating men who cannot pay their own bills.

Find below some of the things you should never do to please a man:

1. Never agree to sleep with another man to get him a job or contract

Some women claim to be so much in love with their men to the point that they would do anything for them. You should never allow a man to coerce you into doing things that are beneath your standard.

If you are willing to sleep with your boss to get him a job or a contract, then you are putting yourself on the spot as you have given him a reason big enough for you to break up.

Apart from him not trusting you, you could suffer a big depression as you have compromised your standard and this may dwindle your self-esteem.

2. Do not agree to threesome even if he suggests it

Men have crazy s*xual fantasies; you should never give in to anything that would make you get ridiculed at the long run. the only reason why this may not matter to you is if you are in for the fun of it.

But even at that, your integrity is at stake. Do not agree to let him sleep with your friend while you are there and do not succumb to sleeping with him and his friend too.

Your emotion would be on the line and things would get messy at the long run. Think about this; will a man who wants to marry you be willing to share you with his friend?

3. Do not give him the history of your life

Now, no one is asking you to be secretive in your relationship. It is important for you to open up to your partner and discuss issues that would push your relationship ahead.

While doing this, you should know that your partner doles not need every detail of your life. Some ladies make this silly mistake of baring everything as soon as they fall in love. Not every man deserves to know your history as those things could be used against you.

4. Avoid sending nude pictures of yourself

Ladies globally most especially in Nigeria please wake up. It is not okay for you to send naked pictures of yourself to any man simply because you are trying to bridge the gap between you both. A man that would cheat would always cheat no matter what.

Even when you trust your partner and know that your nud3 pictures are safe with him, have you thought about what could happen if his phone got stolen?

The pictures could get into the wrong hands and you could become one of those girls whose nud3 pictures are displayed in social media.

5. Never give up on your dreams

There are so many talented and intelligent women in the society; these women have loads of potentials stored in them. However, they have recoiled into their shells because they want to please their partners.

They would give up on their dreams and embrace that of their partners. It would be difficult living a fulfilled life if you always subject yourself to the opinions of others.

Be inspired.
