How self-aware are you?

 Reasons why you should start a self-awareness journey.


Days whereby you keep experiencing things you have no exact words of description for, such that you keep wallowing in your thoughts and seem kind of lost or out of energy probably than you used to be. Sometimes people assume you are fine where you are battling with a lot except for some concerned people who can point out the offs about you. What am I driving at? 

I would love you to realize that these kinds of days are bound to exist and you cannot always keep up with every bar or standard either the one you set for yourself or is set for you because there would always be variables but the outcome of your experiences also depends on what you do with the variables. For you to handle the surprises of life to a great extent, calls for a great need to begin a self-awareness journey.

I'll be explaining the reasons why starting a self-awareness journey is very important, kindly follow through:


1. Enjoy yourself better: Self-awareness helps you enjoy yourself more because you would get to discover things that make you stress yourself out unnecessarily which would require you to want to put systems to let go of such unnecessary things. Hence you get to enjoy more of yourself.


2. Improves your productivity: Have you been wondering how some people can do so well with their strengths such that it looks like they have no weakness? It's a result of self-awareness. Being aware of yourself, and recognizing what works for you and what doesn't goes a long way in improving your productivity.


3. Improves your relationship with others: There are certain behaviors you exhibit but do not know why you do them most times which as a result affects your relationship with others. Taking time to observe these actions or traits helps you in recognizing ways to relate and respond better to situations and people where necessary.


4. Allows you to be more authentic: Nothing beats authenticity. As you get to discover more about yourself, you become challenged to do more, do better, and give more solutions to the world. You get to express yourself better in ways that allow others to be beneficiaries and in the end, you become more fulfilled.


I'll be leaving you with these few reasons for now but there are so many reasons why you need to start a self-awareness journey the most important reason is for you to become more aware of yourself and use it to improve your daily living. I hope this is helpful in some ways and inspires you to begin your self-awareness journey even right now.


Cheers to your discovery journey, 

Faith Akinloye.

Feeding the less privileged is not sustainable?

On the 28th of May 2022, I went along with a non-profit I volunteer for called TEAK Foundations for a charity event at Bariga(Lagos) to celebrate Children's day with the children in the area. Of what use is feeding them just once and for them to be hungry tomorrow "I often thought". It feels like a waste of time. It feels like they are not being helped. I often thought that they should be empowered if they are adults so they can begin to feed themselves and for children, it would be better if a farm or food bank can be created as this would be quite sustainable.  Looking at it from this angle would make you agree with me that charity events are not sustainable but does it make them unnecessary? No, it is still very important and valid. As a non-profit, we might not be able to scrap the daily hunger but we were able to leave them with an unforgettable experience for just that day, we were able to make them not hungry for just that one moment. All it takes for a life to be ...

Feeling unmotivated?

 I love God (so she claims), and I want to live my life solely for God. Yet, she finds herself being indisciplined and doing things that either waste her time or are of no value. Yes, she knows the importance of having a well-structured priority list. She isn't even sure if getting easily distracted is her problem or if she is just confused. She has a vision. She has a goal. She has positive intentions. All of her intentions are for the benefit of mankind. Yet, she finds herself still going in circles and it seems like she isn't growing or going towards the fulfillment of her vision. What would you do if you are here? Or should I say, what would be your best advice to her? My Advice. Honestly, this can happen to anybody it happens to almost everybody including your favorite people. The only reason why you haven't noticed is that they were able to still do the needful despite these things that happens to them. The key here is Self - discipline. I'm usually blown away whe...

IT’S CLOSER TO YOU THAN YOU THINK

  I’m never going to have dreams! Exclaimed by a little girl who was watching the TV with her parents one beautiful afternoon. She was seeing the news report about the result from the just concluded election and the lives that were lost from the whole process. Right there, she made a decision not to be involved in anything that has to do with contributing to the society. She would rather prefer being comfortable in her own house with her family and minding her business. Many youths are like this today. You don’t want to get involved. Everything is now SCAM as it’s popularly called in Nigeria today. We no longer believe anything neither do we want to believe. We’ve come to embrace the mentality of “anything that does not concern me does not concern me” I.e we’ve so much embraced a selfish mentality as long as we have food to eat. The truth is, it isn’t our fault! The dirty stereotype the society has painted in our faces are so green in our memory that we can’t erase it even if we wa...
