Hey Everyone,
Life has been tough right? life aint easy at all. No electricity, Cost of living very high, school fees, no holidays, tough boss and nothing funny at all. I wonder how we are all doing…..how are you, really? Recently, I had cried my eyes out because things are not just moving smoothly…..I don’t mind a few hiccups but when people just intentionally hurt you, they don’t want you to progress, they feel sad that you are smiling……it hurts me really bad and then I begin to worry…officially, I worry a lot but over the years I have grown to be stronger woman…..I need to be strong for my babies…TY and Isy.
Before I let you in on my strategies, let me tell what I have on my table. I have freshly boiled corn and I just love the smell of boiled corn. Well, one of the things I do to take off stress is to eat. Let me let you in on what I do after work in the evenings. I get home after work and head straight to the kitchen. Wash hands, prepare myself a bowl of swallow; Semovita, Eba or Pounded yam and some soup and sit in front of the television, watch Telemundo and then, I forget all my worries. Just like that! A bowl of swallow and Telemundo has always been a good combo.
Though my challenge/stress be like mount Zion, this would definitely knock it down. or maybe this one.
Secondly, If food doesn’t take my worries away, then spending money will. I just have to spend money on something…..not something stupid though but on something very important. The thing is that I will find myself spending money; it could be a gift or purchasing items for the kids or indulging in some sort of self fulfillment whilst spending cash……Taking a walk to Coldstone.
And then, if that doesn’t work, I just pray. This works like magic and then I forget. but prayer takes a lot of effort because I am already broken and sometimes very angry at why things can’t just work….and then its difficult to just kneel and pray. But I’ll always pray….I’ll always pray and that is what I am going to do now.
Ciao!
