Make your Summer Unforgettable.

The season of travel and unexpected fun is here but besides defying gravity with a flight to some where beautiful, there are numerous things you can do to make this Summer a landmark memory. School semesters are nearing the end and everyone appears determined to do some of the wildest things but I believe we're forgetting a few things. Vacations are always a welcomed event and dare I say much needed. What's also a need is a redirected thought process to get us back on track. However, you'd be surprised to know that a memorable Summer does not require traveling at all.
Whether you are single, dating or married, never neglect the right to have some alone time for personal gratification. I've realised that most people have become so busy to the point where they forget to set boundaries for breathing space. Time lost can never be restored and time wasted is an opportunity
cosigned to oblivion. Don't be mistaken, I am aware that our job, families and even our relationships can thoroughly consume us but here are a few tips to swing things in your favour.

  1. Organise your calendar with you in mind. Mark your calendars from June to August with dates assigned for personal time. To often we've neglected our own needs for other things we consider as 'more important'. At the end of the day, 'selflessness' may not go unnoticed but neglecting to put 'self' first, will surely present unwanted resentment.

  1. Award yourself a Summer Budget. Money respects no one but it is the reward for your hard work; train money to work for you. Few people realise that they are the engine for their money instead of the other way around, and that's because we fail to budget wisely. Budgeting helps us to prioritise and save. In saving, it's key to have Summer in mind. The money accumulated for Summer may not amount to a vacation but it will definitely afford a wardrobe upgrade, Spa Day or a road trip with some friends.

  1. Revamp yourself. Though I am glad that I'm not a wishing well, I am sure a lot of the quarters thrown into one are asked to reward improved appearance. Whether it be weight- loss, better hair and even a room update; all those things are determined by you. What ever you are wishing for, position yourself to get it. Think positive, be positive and be the better version of yourself. If you desire wealth then at least work on your appearance to attract it.

  1. Get an Honest Journal. Naivety will bring you no closer to your destiny than a thief behoving you to trust him. For people who spend very little time thinking, a journal is the perfect reality check. Living in denial about who you really are and what you want will get you no where. Journaling is the perfect way to clear your thoughts and speak to yourself. So, the next time you go the park or even the beach, don't just wonder off into the trees or 'people watch', put your thoughts on paper and be honest.

  1. Make it a habit to do new things that excite you. Getting out of your comfort zone can be quite a task, especially when you know that you don't have to. However, the up side is that you've given yourself a way to forget 'the norm' in your life and focus on the unknown. Never forget that teaching your emotions to trust your decisions is part of stress management. From cooking class to art and swimming lessons; signing up for something new in the Summer grants you an environment of calm.

It is so vital for everyone to be fulfilled in every aspect of life. What's lacking, is your choice to give yourselves that fulfillment. Being preoccupied with everything else grants you nothing but frustration. Realise that unless you make it a habit to give time for self indulgence, then you'd experience unforgettable moments.

Seven Tips for experiencing your Best Twenties.

B elieve in your Individuality - During the course of life, its easy to compare our journey with that of our friends and relatives.

Men aren't pursuing women anymore...

As the "Month of Love" approaches, or so it is referred; I could not help but be bothered by a frightening trend patterning among us. The word 'tradition' is now the new enemy, as an excuse for 'creative originality'. All well and good for self exploration but I believe we're taking it too far because somethings are designed to remain a certain way. In this article, I hope to broaden our scope in the area of evaluating our relationships. For some, it might be a harsh reality check and for others, a journey to knowing yourself.  At my age, and I'm not very old; I've lived through the hard evidence of seeing the spheres of communication in the dating and marriage world, belly flop. It seems that by some snap of the finger, we've switched roles. Who's responsible? I'll get to that in a while but do we remember the days when a man truly admired a woman and approached her with the sole purpose of knowing more about her? I'm not tal...
