THANK YOU! #MindBattle

It has been a  beautiful month and at this point, all I want to say is 'thank you'. I have a few things to say and I have said them here so please watch. There was a battle in my mind. It was full of anxiety and untrue thoughts. This was a documentary on how I won! Have a great 2020! ...

Simply Lazy #MindBattle Day 27

I don't feel like writing today but I am learning that I don't only do what I feel like, I do what I am supposed to. I had quite a productive day today. I finally started taking steps in planning for both my life and for 2020. Some days just have no excesses and I am learning to make peace with that, to...

Am I overreacting? #MindBattle Day 26

I'm starting to get lazy about making these entries daily. But, we bind laziness! Amen, Amen. 😆 The Battle Today was a cool day. I woke a bit later than usual. I spent my day washing my hair and catching up on my series. I looked at my books a bit. A tiny bit but it was good. Today, I noticed the internal...

A Christmas Documentary #MindBattle Day 24&25

I missed another day and today's post is later than scheduled... 😔 Whatever it is, I'm not going to be sad today because we move and we keep moving. Here's what has happened in the last two days. I have so much gist to share but I'll only share a bit. Yesterday was Christmas Day!! The truth is that although I may come...

Creating with what I have #MindBattle Day 23

I am very sleepy at the moment. My daily routine includes my taking mid-day naps and I didn't sleep today. I feel a little out of place. The Battle I felt something familiar today. Before now, I would have spent more time wondering why I felt that way or just go about my life with a random feeling. Today, I was able to...

Christmas FOMO #MindBattle Day 22

Veintidós! My Spanish is getting a lot better. I keep throwing the little Spanish I know around. I should warn you that it's not going to get any better. As my Spanish improves, I'm going to write a lot more in Spanish and who knows, maybe one day, I'll have a whole post in Spanish. The Battle Today was okay. I did what...

Eat Something #MindBattle Day 21

After this documentary, I think the next one I should do should include something related to food. And before my mind decides to cop out and say that I should fast, I actually mean something related to me eating. Oh, by the way, I haven't said anything yet. No one should send me any message asking about anything concerning food. 😩😩 I have...

Does it spark joy? #MindBattle Day 20

I've been trying to remember a quote so I can quote the quote correctly. 😂 Something like, 'it's not that you dash dash dash, you're just not doing the things that spark joy for you'. I have probably destroyed the quote but I think you know what I am referencing. Can you remind me, please? I was very sleepy in class today. I...

Oh Happy Day! #MindBattle Day 19

I'm behind schedule, again, but here we go. Honestly, I haven't had time to think and collate today's happenings into something arranged and readable. In my head, today's post will be short. Today started off pretty regular, I went for my class. Usually, after class I would get into 'bonnet mode' but I have an assignment to do before my class tomorrow, yes...

Lonely in the abroad #MindBattle Day 18

I thought I wouldn't have the motivation to write today. I was honestly contemplating not writing. I was thinking of what excuse I would give. In my mind, I was like, 'well, it's not so bad if I break the streak'. Now that I think about it, I wonder what I would have told my close friends because they would have asked about...

On Productivity and Progress #MindBattle Day17

First off, an apology. I'm sorry that today's entry is late, I had cell meeting. Today was quite a bleh day. It occurred to me that I really don't do much. I legit just go to class and come back. My friend often teases me that once I go out and return, I'm back to the bonnet life. The Lord knows that if...

Self-Defense #MindBattle Day 16

Let's start off from where I stopped yesterday. Little brother, if you like get annoyed that I am calling you little brother, shake your head, twist your face, yen yen yen, you're still my little brother. Brother, I am so proud of you and it's such a beautiful thing watching you grow. I'm emotional because it was only yesterday you started school and now...

Homesick #MindBattle Day 15

I'm homesick. I can hear my mom's voice in my head 'you're not sick in Jesus' name' 😩 I have been homesick for a while but in recent days, it seems to be growing in intensity. It's all fun and games and life too when you spend 2+ years away from family till it begins to dawn on you that you're growing up and...

Prayer Power #MindBattle Day14

Sunday is my favourite day of the week. I wake up early, get ready and go to fellowship with other believers. I think that it is both beautiful and rejuvenating. Something made me upset today. I was hurt and almost crying. I was smiling but my mind was wandering. In all of those moments, what kept lingering in my heart was 'I've prayed...

Between food and friends #MindBattle Day 13

Saturdays are for resting. Over time, I have come to see that I have the bad habit of forgetting to rest. I am always occupied. My weekends are usually so full that by the end of the weekend I am still looking for an extension. Today, it felt good to rest and spend time with my friends, to be present. This is unrelated...

Shooting shots #MindBattle Day 12

You think you're winning then in a split minute your heel is struck. I could leave out this detail but I'm choosing not to. I had a breakdown after publishing yesterday's entry. I started thinking of how I wasn't doing anything with my life, seeing all the areas where I wasn't doing enough. I started worrying about where I was headed if I...

A stranger made my day #MindBattle Day 11

It is 19:04. Today's post is due in a few minutes. Let's see what I can come up with. I'm happy that I've almost completed this surgery cycle. It's been interesting but at this point, I am ready to be done. I went to pick up my phone today. It was quite an interesting bus ride especially since I had no phone to...

What has changed? #MindBattle Day 10

My phone went bad yesterday. I took it for repair today. I'm phoneless at the moment. Apart from when I woke up from my nap and was frantically searching for my phone for five minutes so I could check the time, I'm coping really well. I've been playing with the idea of being off most social media platforms in 2020, I haven't decided...

Protecting Peace #MindBattle Day 9

Usually, when I publish a post, my heart starts getting a bit anxious and I keep checking the stats and trying to figure out how to improve them at that moment. I don't think that it is unimportant to find ways to improve your reach but when it is at the expense of your peace, maybe something needs to be checked. Before I...

Tracing Triggers #MindBattle Day 8

Not much has happened today and I've been wondering if I would be able to string the mundane, regular day into a blog that's worth reading. I've discovered that I have a routine and although it wasn't one that I set out to create, it's one that I like. I haven't been giving myself to mindless scrolling on Instagram or Twitter and it...

Dissolving Doubt #MindBattle Day 5

It's easy to throw stones at Thomas because he looked for the nails in the Master's hand but I don't see you throwing stones at yourself when you search for holes in what the Master has told you. Reboot camp has been for me. Every session, every word, it has been precision on a whole different level! Haaaaa!!! Whew!!!!! Let me calm down...

Don't cry #MindBattle Day 4

Some days will seem mundane and plain. It'll seem like nothing is happening. Don't be deceived, there are silent victories embedded there too. Guyssssss!!!!! Day 1 of the reboot camp was amazing! Of course, I am not currently in Lagos so I watched the live stream on Instagram. Pastor Emmanuel Iren wasn't exactly teaching things that were absolutely new to me but there's...

Small battles #MindBattle Day 3

1, 2, 3, trouble! When the battle comes, don't run, this is what you've been training for. Today, my eyes welled up a little then someone came in.. Yesterday, my dad visited my blog and although he didn't leave a comment, I know that he did because he shared the link to one of the pictures on this blog on his WhatsApp status....

Today, we drink #MindBattle Day 2

I'm starting to feel like this was a bad decision. Who said that I couldn't be accountable and intentionally watch my thoughts without having to write about it for the world to see? This is not the first time that I've had such kinds of mini-regret thoughts. But what exactly is there to lose? I'm documenting my battles while sharpening my writing skills...

How to declutter your mind

Hello friend. It's been a minute, I hope you've been well. I wonder why I'm writing this like it's a letter. I've been going through a phase (😂 I'm always going through a phase). Well, before I tell you what has been going on with me, let me give you a back story. When I started being intentional about my walk with God,...
