Book: The 7 habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey
We are driven by many things, there can be many things at our center. Our center is unique to us, but in a way we are all connected. Our center should not be closed off to others or only revolve around us because we are all intertwined. It's more about finding that thing that grounds us. Identifying what we base our life our existence on. Besides identifying it and obsessing over it we should ensure that it's in harmony with correct principles and clear.

May 27, 2019 E13| Sunday Reset
Some of us are constantly on the go, some are mentally as well as physically exhausted, and some of us just need some me time. Whatever the case maybe, we are never too busy to set some time for ourselves. Even if it's not a full day. Get in the habit of reflecting and reseting. Time to catch your breath and refocus on your center. It's not a chore or something you have to do but definitely will have an impact.

May 02, 2019 E10| Write about it
Remember the times when your diary was the only "person" that understood you. My diaries name was Goddie. Having a place and space to offload is important. It's been proven that writing things down is a good way to free up your short term memory. And I'm sure it's also a great way to express and think things out. Do you have a name for your journal/diary? When do you find yourself reflecting the most?

May 02, 2019 E8| Social Media Playground
Everything should be done in moderations?!
Social media is like being at the playground, you get to be out in the sun playing with other kids and toys. Your parent is there, socializing with the other parents or if you're old enough you walked to the playground by yourself. You can play as much and with whom ever you please, just remember to observe the unspoken playground rules. You can stay out as long as the sun's up, if the sun sets on you you have to go home because no one likes playing in the dark. I just made that up but you get the point. Don't let your social media run your life, use it as a fun tool. And remember don't let the sun set on you.
