Documenting 2025

It's day 166 of documenting 2025. Happy Weekend my friend ☺️  I hope your week went well... Mine was....revealing. I finally figured out why I usually scrolled mindlessly or sometimes default to watching videos when there's work to be done. Escapism. But I had a chat with AI about it....which opened up my understanding. Talking with my friend also made me feel better and reinforced my self-control. You can read about it here. In other news... Yesterday was quite cold 🥶  It rained all morning and afternoon...and the cold carried on till nighttime. I hope it's a bit warmer today. What's the topic for today? Let's explore Highlights and Meditations. And see what we can learn. 365 Days With Self-discipline  📌 On Handling Emotions  "People with a strong physical constitution can tolerate extremes of hot and cold; people of strong mental health can handle anger, grief, joy and the other emotions." Quote by Epictetus "While people usually associate self-...

It's day 159 of documenting 2025. What a day! 😪 This is probably the first Sunday I would be typing a post this late. My love for scheduling has been renewed. It's better late than never, right? The show must go on. (Not that this is a show...) If you're reading this Sunday, I wish you a wonderful week ahead ☺️ Lemme just start this: I got confused. About a very important aspect in my spirituality. This was due to an assignment given to me by my mentor. Who's a very wonderful lady, by the way. I respect her a lot 💜 After giving feedback on the assignment, she made it clear that I didn't do well. And my reply to her was,  "At this point, I don't know what prayer entails anymore. I have a lot to learn" As I carried out other tasks, I thought of what AI would say on the topic of prayer. Then I decided to ask... I will share the chat on that later on. But first, let's get into Highlights 365 Days With Self-discipline 📌 On Having Options "Always...

It's day 152 of documenting 2025. Wow....😲 June is here! 6th month in 2025. The time for bold steps... Happy New Month, my friend 🎀 I wish you more prosperity, more resources, more reasons to make you smile. I hope your June turns out better than May in all areas of your life 😌 Happy Sunday I wish you a wonderful week ahead...full of good news and wonderful happenings. Speaking of bold steps... I did a review yesterday on how the last month went... As well as how I can improve certain things. This blog included. And I noticed something. I think you're familiar with a section I started a few weeks back, called "Blast From The Past". If you're not, check out the last post. So, I don't think that section is doing well and here are my reasons. Firstly, I always add a link to an early post in the blog. I'm talking posts from January. But then, I also check my analytics for this blog. (I use Google Analytics by the way) And for the past week, I haven't se...

It's day 145 of documenting 2025. A new week approaches. In the meantime, we're still in the weekend. Happy Sunday, my friend ☺️ Today, we'll finish what we started in yesterday's post. Part 2. But first, lemme just say a few on how yesterday went. I did a bit of crochet... And finally finished a beanie I started months ago. At first, I listened to Lindsey Stirling's tracks in a playlist while I crocheted. Then I had to charge my phone....but I finished the last part in silence. The best part was that I focused on it for 30 whole minutes. Without the violin music. I realized something. The process to finishing a project one starts will always be boring. And repetitive. Sometimes frustrating. But the joy one feels when the project is finally complete is priceless 💎 To be honest, there are still unfinished crochet projects in my stash. I started them....but then I just came up with an excuse to drop them. I lost interest in the process. Picking ...

It's day 138 of documenting 2025. Work! More work!! Much more work!! (I'll later explain why...) Happy Sunday, my friend ☺️ It's the start of a new week...and my closest friend has a job too. Something to keep him busy...since he's on holiday from school. I'm super happy for you, PK! Yeah... Back to my weird beginning of this post. I realized something. If you have something to do, there's usually no room for any other disturbing thoughts. If you have any, you just have to shove them aside, so you can focus on the task at hand. This concept has saved me a lot. And it's saving me till now. I'm a teacher...and coupled with the content I have to create weekly, it's quite a lot on my plate. No time for doomscrolling anymore. Like literally! It's either I have this to do... Or that to figure out... Or those to learn... And I'm also learning the subjects I teach...which will greatly help me in my coming test. The screening test from my ...

It's day 131 of documenting 2025. Happy Sunday my friend ☺️ Cheers to the new week! I wish you a wonderful week ahead...full of good news. Good news on my part...my new ebook is live on my Selar store. It's a compilation of reasons for the average John Doe to start writing. Opportunities, benefits and steps on how to start... It's called, 99 Reasons To Write Online. I don't want to talk much about it here... You can check it out. How did yesterday go? Pretty well, if you ask me. I created a content calendar for the week ahead. No more thinking of what to post for the next two weeks...I guess. I also did some research on my course of choice and the university I chose. Turns out, the Nigerian landscape is growing for psychologists and there are numerous employment opportunities. It's also not a rare course...contrary to what some of my superiors are saying. And I'm just typing this morning... Didn't schedule today's post. I w...

It's day 124 of documenting 2025. Happy Sunday 😊  It's the weekend and at the same time, the start of a new week. Cheers to that! 🍷 Lemme just talk about yesterday. Three things happened.... One, the power was restored. Hallelujah! 🙌🏼 Two, I went for a seminar organized by the tutorial center I go to (or used to go to...). Several educated men talked about the university, admission, and the fact that education, no matter what anyone says...is vital. Last but not the least, I called my aunt. Now, this is where the gist is. It started out of pure curiosity... I called my aunt to know if my cousin has been admitted into the university. She said yes, a private school. Noted 📌  Then she directed her attention to me and asked what school I picked. I told her. She asked for the course as well. When I told her it's Psychology, she went ballistic. I could sense it in her voice that if she was in front of me, she would give me a slap. Not out of anger tho... Out of a...

It's day 117 of documenting 2025. It's official! Today's the day before the D-Day. Super exciting 😆 My dad and I will check out the center today. Happy Sunday, by the way! It's a new week already.... So, cheers! 🥂 I wish you a wonderful week ahead. Yesterday was my last day at the tutorial center. Well, last day as a student preparing for exams. I will still visit from time to time. (Probably to charge my power bank since the transformer is faulty 😏) Anyhoo... Today's post will be business as usual. Until Tuesday. I'll share today's highlights....no comments this time. And I'll also share the chat I had with Cindy on a pretty interesting topic. Then my closing lines 🙂 You ready? Great! Let's do it! 365 Days With Self-discipline 📌 On Dressing New Things In Old Habits "Whether selling a new song, a new food, or a new crib, the lesson is the same: If you dress a new something in old habits, it’s easier for th...

It's day 110 of documenting 2025. Happy Sunday, my friend 😊 I have a special announcement to make.... It's officially 8 more days to my exam! An exercise called, "JAMB reprinting", started yesterday. Each candidate is required to print out their exam slip before the day of exam. On the printed slip, he or she will see the exam date, time and venue. I got mine yesterday. So, my exam is on the 28th of this month. 8 days left and it will all be over. The stress and the sacrifices of sleep and leisure. I'm counting the days now. I just pray for everything to work out fine 🙏🏼 After the Saturday class, I got home to find the night cooking waiting for me. I bribed my way out of it 😶 (My aunt helped me cook...) Then I went to visit Dora, a dear friend from the tutorial center.....because I plan to not leave my house for anywhere today. I'll be home. No walk today. My neighbor understood that fact, and we agreed to not go for any more...

It's day 103 of documenting 2025. "Sundays Are For Blessings" ✨ Read this somewhere yesterday. And I agree... It's a blessing to see a new week in 2025....so, cheers!🍷 Cheers to positive vibes Cheers to new opportunities Cheers to a better week! (Raise your imaginary glass!) Let's start today's post with highlights. From two books by the same author, Martin Meadows. Then we move to the chat I had with Meta AI about an interesting topic. Stick around to find it out, okay? 365 Days With Self-discipline 📌 On Controlled Burns "Small forest fires periodically cleanse the system of the most flammable material, so this does not have the opportunity to accumulate." Quote by Nassim Taleb "Fire is a natural part of the forest ecology. Regular small fires serve a cleansing purpose, reducing the amount of fuel build-up and consequently lowering the likelihood of a potentially large, disastrous fire." "You can use...

It's day 96 of documenting 2025. Sometimes....😔 That's all I could think of to start with. I'm not so high in spirits as I type this....but no matter how I feel, the show must go on. I was moody yesterday evening. It first started with my time of the month coming earlier than it did last month. I was extra conscious at the tutorial center. Then I had unusual sugar cravings. Whole food didn't seem to interest me. I'll probably be paying for it when the pain comes 😐 I got home to get ready for a scheduled call with my mentor and some other guys concerning a project. Before the call, I started to look for some change that I had kept in my bag. For some reason, I couldn't remember where I kept it. I searched and searched. Did someone take it? 🤔 I started thinking in that direction.... If it doesn't turn up by today or tomorrow.....then I probably lost it. Anyways, the call went on and I chipped in where necessary. To be honest, ...
