Build your Good-habit Muscles until you're Hench!


The curious thing about consistency is that it must be maintained sequentially or run the risk of being broken. To be consistent, you have to be consistent.

I haven't written a blog post every single day like I initially said I would, and it's been conflicting for me to decide between establishing a realistic writing routine or just powering through my initial declaration regardless of feasibility.

My unnecessarily vague "technical difficulties" is just my laptop having packed up on me and my struggling with my writing commitment. Also, I'm in the middle of a major life event right now, which is which I can't write on the weekends since that's really the only free time I have.

The very great thing about this entire exercise is that it has been a great activity in discipline and consistency. It's only been about 2 weeks but I feel the good habit muscles getting stronger already. And the effect ripples into other areas of my life. It's great.

Remember, you become more of what you do! That's it from mama for today. Catch you in the next one. And leave a comment for your girl sometime, would ya?

30 Facts About Me As I Turn 30!

Image
Meandering through life like a winding stream, I came upon a plain of wonderful delights and realised with much surprise that my leisurely trek had spanned 3 glorious decades. I turn 30 in a few days! What an awesome privilege to have walked this floating ball of wonder for 30 wondorous years. 30 years of delighting my parents' hearts; 30 years of skinny ankles that have always supported my full bodyweight; 30 years of a strong mind that shoots out creativity like a prism; 30 years and 3 magnificent 'decade balls'; 30 years of falling headlong into the beautiful, complicated, frustrating enigma that is me. In honour of my 30th, I have decided to write down 30 ragtag facts about me. Things I find beautiful I think it is only right to begin this list with the beauty that I see in life. 1. Babies. When I see a child, I see a lovely little blank slate, perpetually drunk on life and joy. The dangerous curiosity, the unquenchable desire for learning, the unreserved smile, the una...

A Positive Example of Community

This past weekend, I travelled by train from Lagos to Abeokuta and back again. It was exciting and I had a grand time! On my train on the way back, I had an experience that has left an impact on me. There was a fracas relating to tickets (I believe the train attendants sold more tickets than there were seats on the train; more on that later). As a result, I had to sit on a seat other than the one assigned to me, between 2 people, one of whom had a little baby. Scarcely had I sat for up to 2 minutes before said baby starts cooing at me, reaching doggedly for my phone, smiling drooling smiles at me and being so darn adorable. I loooove babies and am always excited to play with them, but this day I would have rather just stayed on my phone and taken my Duolingo course to wind down. But the baby kept reaching for me and when a baby reaches for you, you drop what you're doing and pick them up. It's the law. So with permission from her mum, I took my new friend Erioluwa in my arms a...

Hello, I'm breaking the 4th Wall

Hello, my dear readers! I missed the past 2 days of blogging. It's because it was the weekend. What I have resolved to do is not blog on the weekend for the foreseeable future. That's because I'm still experiencing technical difficulties (I haven't yet decided if I want to keep obnoxiously calling it that or just tell you what it is but it's connected to a bigger issue so this will do for now). The other reason is that I'm genuinely gonna be busy until the end of the year, as silly an excuse as I realise that seems. So, where are we? I think we're due for an update. It's been about 2 weeks since I made the commitment to daily journalling and I'll tell you that I've seen improvement already.  I am feeling more clear-headed, the 'flow' of writing is coming easier, ideas are flowing (that hasn't really been an issue) and I am developing the muscles needed to see them to fruition. It's rapturous! As a matter of fact, I'm also bett...
