It’s such a beautiful Sunday morning. Welcome back friends. How are you doing and how was your week. Hope you had a great time.  Happy new month and Happy Independence Day to everyone of us who are Nigerians. Today is a special day. And I pray may we experience independence indeed and may God lead our leaders in the direction of progress and development for our nation. Today, I want to discuss something about true freedom . I know it’s a concept that many of us (if not all of us) are quite familiar with. Freedom is all about having the power or right to do what you want and when you want it, without anyone stopping you, as long as it doesn't hurt other people. It is also the state of not being imprisoned or enslaved. True freedom is when we have been totally or permanently free without any iota of doubt or skepticism. In a day as this when our nation, Nigeria is celebrating freedom from her colonial masters, we must ask ourselves this question –  are we truly free?   Nige...

Hello friends, nice to come your way again. Hope you had a great week. Today, I want to discuss how to cope with everyday stress. Stress is something we go through from time to time. And as there is abnormal stress, there is also normal stress. For example, the stress a mother goes through when just gave birth to a child is a normal stress. Likewise body weakness after the day’s work. But stress from body illness or demise of a loved one is an abnormal stress. It's crucial to acknowledge that stress is a natural part of life, and it’s important we learn how to cope with it. First and foremost, awareness about the stress we are going through and the cause of it is important to resolving it. Then, we need time to be alone and rest. Rest is not only in our body, but also in our mind. We need to take away distractions and focus on our health and wellness. Exercise is another magic elixir that can naturally alleviate stress. It boosts our mood, and enhances our overall health. It doesn...

Hello friends, welcome back. Trust your week has been great and everything going well.  Today, I want to share with you some surprising benefits of fasting.  Fasting is something many of us have been used to since we were young. And I remember those days, my mother used to persuade us to fast. We did it those days without knowing much benefits to it. But now, I know better.  Recently, I've been engaging in longer fasting and I've been seeing the results. So, I thought I should share the surprising benefits of it  with you my friends.    Fasting has different dimensions to it. And it is not only limited to health benefits, but also for spiritual and other purposes. In this article, we will explore those benefits and see how we can incorporate them into our life. For the spiritual benefits, fasting allows us to put away distractions and let us focus our mind and thoughts on God. When we pray, one of the reasons why we fast is to focus our mind and attention o...

Top of the weekend to you, friends and your family. Hope you had a great week. Today I want to share something about sleep . I know all of us sleep. And there is no time in our lives that we’ve not experienced the benefits of sleep. Sleep is a phenomenon that takes close to one-third of our lives. And depending on how much things we have to do, some of us sleep longer than the others.  Whether you are a man or woman, old or young, rich or poor, everyone of us needs sleep. It is one of those things that make us all equal. And there is no alternative to it – pretty much like food, water and other important elements needed for life. The idea of sleep therapy is one that shows us the benefit of sleep and how it can be used to resolve some illnesses or medical conditions in our body. Sleep is not only for sleeping. It has several benefits that science has proven.  Apart from the fact that we feel refreshed when we wake up from sleep, we also feel more healthy and alive. We feel mor...
