TIME’S UP

The day you were born that’s the day your clock started working, now the question is what have you done with the time rationed to you, yes both the rich and poor people have 24hrs a day but how we spend our time defines us. 

Sarah Dessen said “There comes a time when the world gets quiet and the only thing left is your own heart. So, you'd better learn the sound of it. Otherwise, you'll never understand what it's saying.”  

Now it's “TIME UP” FOR YOU TO: 

Find your purpose 

All of us were brought on earth for different reasons each person was given a special gift hidden in us. Find that special gift and use it for the betterment of others if you can sing, sing and make people smile. Life it's not all about being happy but being useful. It’s time for you to use your talent. 

2. Let go 
   

    The word sound as if it's impossible, most of us are not progressing in life because of not letting go you will be dragging something twice your weight to climb a mountain with it. live that ex-boyfriend/ girlfriend of yours live a new life start on a new page. One wise man once said, “sometimes what you want isn't what you get, but in the end, what you get is so much better than what you wanted”. Not letting go will cost us spiritual, physically and emotionally. Time’s up for you to let go. 

3. upgrade yourself...live life, do things you never thought of doing before 

In addition, it's time to test your capabilities to try new things explore, travel create memories. By this, your intelligence quotient will increase. Read a lot of books this will help you to improve your personal well being. BUT  on the other hand, do not test the depth of the water stepping in it with both legs you will drown.  

4. You alone can do it  

Do not wait for someone to push you be, your own push factor. You must dream big and set goals for yourself, make a to-do list to track your progress on the goals. more so you must embrace yourself for failures. Rome wasn’t built in two days and a journey of thousand miles starts with a single step, now it’s the time to make those steps. Be the reason why you wake up early in the morning stand in front of the mirror tell your self, shout your name and say you can do it show the world what you are made of.  

5. Learn from past experience … 

They say experience is the best teacher and its true. One singer once sang, "what was done to him created him he was treated like an animal then he become one" that’s the same spirit we must have. Your past experiences must make you strong in order for you to be what you want to be. never the less people will not believe in you and they Will try by all means to bring you down be firm and learn a lesson from that.  lastly, say to you do not ignore your past and or leave in the past don’t let your past rib or define you, just focus on your future.

DON’T LET DEPRESSION KILL YOU

Everyone has good and bad days. But some people have more bad days than good. It takes courage to turn those bad days into good days. 

Because of the economic had ships ,unemployment that our country Zimbabwe is facing it is seen that a lot of people especially the youths are victims to depression. 

          

Depression is the world's leading cause of suicides per year. No one knows  how many Zimbabweans suffer from kufungisisa, the local word for depression(literally, “thinking too much” in Shona). 

Depression is an extremely serious mental health condition that can become deadly if it isn’t treated. Here are some of the ways which I found working : 

BE OPEN 

be open find some one who is close to you ,whom you can share with all the things troubling you.  

Seek guidance and counseling from elderly people. It is said wine gets better with age , same as wisdom. The old people will give you smart ways in how you can survive in the environment even if it seems to be the survival of the fittest environment you will be among those. 

BE PRAYERFUL AND HAVE FAITH 

Jeremiah 29:11 NIV 

(For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future) 

  If you believe in the word of God turn each bad day to a blessing thank God for the troubles you are facing baring it in heart that one day surely he will bless you, and with faith you can turn mountains. There is no way God is going to forsake you to leave a life without a meaning. 

FIND SOMETHING TO OCCUPY YOU, 

spend more time in doing things which will reduce your stress level for example reading books and or take your time write down all the things that seem to be difficult in your life. By doing this you will be relaxing your mind lowering the blood pressure. 

EXERCISE,  

it triggers the growth of new brain cells and connections, just like antidepressants do. Best of all, you don’t have to train for a marathon in order to reap the benefits. Even a half-hour daily walk can make a big difference. 

  

 SLEEP 

give yourself enough time to sleep. Sleep makes you feel better, but its importance goes way beyond just boosting your mood, it also boosts your memory. Adequate sleep is a key part of a healthy lifestyle, and can benefit your heart. Lack of sleep has been associated with worsening of blood pressure and cholesterol, which are risk factors for heart disease and stroke. 

In the words of Earl Nightingal, "Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored."  

NEW YEAR RESOLUTION

A new years resolution is a promise  person makes for the new year. Regardless of what resolution you commit to, the goal is to improve life in the coming year. 

Resolutions can come in many forms. Some people make a promise to change a bad habit, such as quitting smoking or eating less junk food. Other people make a promise to develop a positive habit.  

Having new year’s resolution it’s a way of showing that you believe in your self and no one but you can do it. It is a way of working the year in achieving your dreams maybe those which you didn't accomplish in the previous year but not holding to the fact that you didn't accomplish them. Some people they say life is a journey yes we can not argue with that notion but you can not say you are on a journey yet you do not know where you are heading to or the time that you are going to take. Same in this life journey draft your resolutions tally against the time your are going to take to reach to the goal for example by mid march 2019 I want to buy a car. 

New year resolutions are there to remind us our purpose here on earth our purpose in accordance to the things that you want as an individual. Here is how you do it : 

Start small 

Make resolutions that you can keep. For example, if your goal is to exercise more, start by going to the gym 3 days a week (at first). 

Write it down 

Write your resolutions down in a place where you can remind yourself daily of your intentions. 

Make changes to your behavior 

Not seeing the results you were hoping for? Try changing up your routine. If you are doing the same thing over and over again and not seeing a change, it’s time to modify your behavior. 

Define SMART goals 

Use the SMART acronym when you are setting goals: specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-specific. If your goal is to lose weight, what specifically are you going to do so that you can measure and track your progress over a specific time frame? Maybe take up walking and eat healthier to lose 10 pounds by June. Setting SMART goals can be the difference between failure and achievement. 

Track your progress 

Use a calendar or technology to track your goals and progress. Self- monitoring is an important concept in keeping your resolutions, so you can look back and see where you came from and the changes you have made. 

Reward small achievements 

Whether you are losing weight, or on track to saving more money, it is important to recognize the small accomplishments and do something nice for yourself. This will get you excited about your overall goal and help keep you focused. 

Make it public 

Let your friends and family know about your resolution and goals. It will help keep you accountable and on track. You are less likely to fail if you have a support system around you. 

You are human 

It’s ok if you slip up, just make sure you get back on track and keep heading toward your goal. If you see it as a learning experience it well help strengthen you and your resolution and make it that much more fulfilling when you finally reach it
