Schedule Your Priorities





Hello! It's been a while since my last blog post.  Reminds me that I need to schedule my priorities. What a challenging and exciting year 2017 was. Let's all look forward to a bright 2018.

As you embark on a new year give yourself a break; it is beneficial to your mental and physical health to relax and recuperate.

Life is demanding and can be stressful at times. I am sure you would agree; so many things to do in so little time. But, if you keep going at full speed everyday, it can be hard on you physically and mentally. You will eventually burn out. and you do not want that! 
Through relaxation, the body, mind and spirit renews themselves.

Some Benefits of Relaxing;


  • Boosts the immune system
  • Reduces our stress levels
  • Has a positive effect on our energy levels and productivity



If you are feeling overwhelmed and stressed, you are not alone. Stress is a basic part of life, and our bodies are designed  to handle small doses of stress, but too much stress can affect all aspects of your life; physically, mentally and cognitively. In my opinion, excessive stress is a slow killer.

Tune out. Turn off. Shut down.

There are many ways to help manage and reduce your stress levels:



Read a book. Meditate. Dance. Cook. Tap into your Creativity. Get outside and take in some sunshine or cool breeze. Visit natureGo swimming. Walking. Golfing. Hiking.  When the opportunity arises or when it best suits you, travel. Etc. Whatever you choose to do, enjoy every minute of it and try to incorporate some form of activity into your everyday life.



I know what you are thinking; "I don't have time" Yes you do! We all have time. The key is to; schedule your priorities. Oh yes I am a culprit of not scheduling my priorities efficiently. It's my 2018 resolution to step up my game. However, I do take time to relax. You can schedule 15 to 30 minutes a day for relaxation.

Cherish Every Single Moment With Loved Ones

  Cherish Every Single Moment With Loved Ones.   Not sure if it is the same for you, but too many people I am acquainted with are dying, friends and family members as well. In my opinion it's very important to cherish every single moment with loved ones, the happy and sad moments. Too many people are always angry and fighting over trivial things. Life is unpredictable and we are just passing through this world, therefore our ultimate goal should be to live in harmony with one another while protecting our inner peace.          YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vECaaNt090 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChezTropic Tik tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cheztropic?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1
