Your August Restart!

Happy Black August!

Love the start of new months. They're like mini restarts throughout the year. If you fell short on something last month, try again this month!

I hope you all had an amazing July. It can be rough trying to maintain life and worldly news. But the best thing you can do right now is live in the capacity that best fits you. don't try to conform to societal norms because guess what? society is on fucking fire.

Sometimes we spend so much time talking and planning but it's the season of execution. rather small or big, use August as the start to take action on the things your heart desire.

What's something simple that you could incorporate into your day-to-day that would make you feel really good? Maybe it's a 30 minute nap, or more smoothies, or time to yourself. Whatever it may be, figure out how you can add that in without disrupting other systems in your life.

Being able to add simple joys to our lives makes a world of a difference in the quality of life.

I hope something in this newsletter is of value to you or someone you may know. Cheers to August. Check out some resources and a look into my goal challenge this year ⤵️

It's never too late to start

Think of 6 bite size goals you can work toward that will help you build better habits and hit bigger goals!

The Wellness Files THE THINKER Society feels exhausting right now. Everyday it's a new headline and the unfortunate reality that the cost of living has quadrupled. Stress was baked into the way we live. But this administration is piling it on us. So, I’m introducing a new little bi-weekly wellness series, The Wellness Files.

Are Phones Ruining Our Lives? THE THINKER Hate to sound like the elders, but the phones may actually be ruining our lives. As much as we’ve benefited from our nifty little handheld devices, they’ve become such a detriment to many. This has been on my mind for sometime now but a tweet prompted this newsletter. And being that we talk about personal development over here, it was a perfect topic to share, as I'm sure y'all can relate. THEY CLOCKED US ALL We all think we lead the busiest lives and...

Stop Letting Burnout Run Your Life THE THINKER What if I told you, you don’t need a vacation, you need to rewire the systems in your life? Stress and burnout are running our lives because it’s been packaged up as hustle and passion. And trust me, I'm a victim too! But this year I changed the game. It's my “let it be” year. Realizing how much stress and burnout affect the body in ways we can’t see, often in ways we don't notice until it's too late, changed me. Always waiting to the last...
