Its a new year and the old has gone with the old. I know this is a great time to start afresh and put those dreams to work. Never think circumstances can shut down your imagination..it can only try to put a halt to its execution. However, we won't stop dreaming!!🥂 'Dreaming is an opening to our foresight; a beginning to an unknown end; a ray of hope in darkness; a drop of rain in dryness... Its our only gateway to seeing ourselves soar beyond limitations and by that, we emerge the true sculpture of our artistic creation.' Never dream less or be bullied into believing "it can't happen". The point is not whether it can or cannot happen but that you are like a bird set free, whose feet lands on a land flowing with milk and honey You are unstoppable, you are confident, you are brave, you are loved❤️ Don't think those dreams are too big or small.... for with God all things remain possible🔥 #HappyNewYear2021 #niifasdiary #HopefulMe #dreambig..

Most hurt,pain, anger, heart break and negative emotions are always geared towards one thing.....fallen expectations. Sometimes we feel we've been wronged or not at fault in some problematic scenerios. Other times, we really don't understand how or what makes us feel that way. All we do know is that there was a certain way that person should have acted to suit you or relief you of that hurt you feel. It's expectation simplified😌 We say "expectation" a couple of times without fully understanding what we really mean. This is to help you understand better. Expectations are not really bad things as it is something every human must do in one way of the other. This is because life is filled with expectations(both realistic and unrealistic) and what makes it unusual is the fact that it doesn't always go the way we "expected" or "wanted". This doesn't mean expectations on it's own are wrong. No, it is one element that cannot be removed from human relationships(even people and God have expectations). It only gets better when you realize expectations are only to be met on balance of probabilities and the result you feel is not because of the person who did whatever he /she shouldn't have done to you but that expectation you had of them to or to not do it. Let's open our minds to this using this example; A is best friends with B and it's A's birthday tomorrow. It's only but normal for A to expect B to call and say lovely wishes. When B failed to do so, A was hurt and sad. Would you say B hurt A as to B being a person on his /her own? Many would says yes, B hurt A(it's always the general answer and that's what the normal mind would interpret it as😏) But guys,the answer is No. B didn't exactly hurt A as to B being a person on their own. It was A's "expectations" of B to call in as a "best friend" that hurt him/her. Imagine if B was just a casual friend and A had no expectations? It won't even count as offensive because nothing was expected, therefore, no need to get surprised 💁. Now, would you say it was wrong for A to have such expectations of B? Of course not! It was a right valid expectation that had a mutual and right foundation of cause. So now you understand where I'm going...😎 Most disappointments are as a result of already set up expectations. It's left for you to take the next step to understand the reason for your pain (checking for what makes it a valid expectation and how to resolve it). We'd have more video analysis as well as write-ups coming up on this topic..it's a big one!🔥 Stay tuned 😁 #niifasdiary #expectations #realitiesoflife..

MENTAL HEALTH 1 This is me waking up one day and telling myself "Sweery, you need to get up and shake of this bad energy...you look sick".😩 As we all know, Nigeria faced a great deal of crisis after the tragedy of 20th October hit us all. A lot has been going around, anxiety and fear has been created in the minds of people, many more launched into depression and slowly everyone forgot a glimpse of hope. So, let me just ask you..."Have you been mentally stable lately?" Most likely, the answer is No. With all the pressures from the media and the silence of the government, we have all dwindled into anger, sadness, murmuring, bickering and unnecessary "drags". All of this activity has proven to be unhealthy for our minds when we constantly unleash our anger on things not worth it and can't differentiate between right and wrong, feasible and non feasible, lies and truth. Some of this habits slowly sink deep into our systems, thoughts and mode of operation; we hardly do anything else than feed our minds with this contents and develop addictive attachments to wanting to know everything and anything (which of course wasn't the usual routine). Honestly, you can't really know the state ofyour mental health if you can't spot the difference. What do I mean? You can only tell that things have changed and you are getting more stressed mentally than you ought to be, when you already know how your mind works and the things that positively and negatively affect it. So, how do we stay fit mentally? Learn to sieve your contents. Avoid things in general that will keep you thinking (brain storming like you want to pass a quiz😏). Slow down or completely cut off social media (or best still stay away from groups or persons that initiates discussions or arguments that will lead to no where and get you more confused for no reason). Stand on verified information (it's a solid foundation for good judgements and opinions) and avoid commenting on every newsline or post or gist(self control comes in). Feed your mind positive/inspiring thoughts♥️(engaging in positive activities would be of help). Your mental health and stability should be priority and as such, every bad energy that comes your way.."Start your ignition honey and zoom zoom zoom!"😎 #NIIFAsDiary #HopefulMe #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #stayinspired..

SAYING YES!! We all like to think that "saying no" is what most people or better still, we, find hard to do. Allow me to shock you.. In as much saying no to most things we say yes to is something we all should learn to do, understand that saying yes to some certain things we ignore would automatically settle the problem of having to learn to day no or resist those things. Let's say, you do not want to continue that relationship but you keep falling each time he makes more promises even though you know it's not really for "yourself" but just to "make him happy". Now, instead of trying so hard to say No and watching yourself suffer why not learn to say YES to the fact that, Baby girl, you need to have a life. You are entitled to have a choice and dream of your own. You ought notto loose yourself at the expense of someone else. You deserve better and that better is not in your current position. And the "Truth shall set you free.." When you realize that saying yes to things you denied yourself is the real no you've been wanting to say so badly then saying no won't be a big deal afterall! So, everyone let's not overlook the importance of saying YES and let's remember that saying yes is not just a word but acknowledging and accepting the truth of things as they are🙂 Say YES today! (PS: don't mind the video😌..just listen to the words or better still read the write up) Thank you ♥️ #NIIFA'sDiary #TruthfulTuesday #thelionesshub #facts #wisewords..

WELL BEING Sometimes our definition of well being is being limited to things we feel are more relevant like our physical or bodily health, financial stability, spiritual growth and others, but we forget that that doesn't create balance in our total and complete well being. We should understand that no part functions without the other,just as the body can't function without the heart, and we should try to gain 360° wholeness: physically, emotionally, psychologically, mentally, spiritually and financially. Identifying and accepting a fault in this state of our well being brings us one step closer to getting solutions. So, do not ignore them and wrap it up under "Men should be men..we don't feel or express or seek help or take corrections", "Women should cover, take it all in and accept their fates in circumstances they find themselves in".. Stop the facades! Focus on a complete, balance, healthy well being today even if it means taking a break, letting go and moving on. You are very important to us and to the world..🙂 #NIIFA'sDiary..
