Good Read: The Girl With The Louding Voice - Abi Dare

  In this remarkable story, Adunni, the main character, depicts ambition fuelled with a burning desire to succeed despite all odds. Tales of this type still abound in Lagos, and they are portrayed in the media daily. Adunni is hailed as the poor girl with a rich mind, "Sherlock Holmes," who never stops asking intelligent questions, a child-bride, and a strong-willed girl who grew up fast due to the circumstance her parents put her through. However, she had the guts to pursue the life she wanted. - An education by any means necessary.  Adunni finally got her groove back after reading such an easy book, I could relate to the characters there. the harsh and despicable reality of Lagos till date. I would recommend this book to my friends and would love to see it turned into a film.

The Art of Mindfulness - In The Now

Awareness, being conscious, focus, living in the moment - it has been claimed to have various meaning to people but the essence remains the same, “To be aware” A friend once called it "taming the monkey of the mind"

I find mindfulness being useful as it promotes clarity, calm stress, bring attention to the positive, and boost health in numerous ways.

Mindfulness goes hand in hand with awareness which is only half the battle however; the most challenging aspect is to actually implement rational thinking into your everyday thoughts and to build a steady practice of routinely checking back with that part of your brain to ensure you’re still here.

Mindfulness is newly being introduced in the corporate world to combat stress in form of meditation and it has yielded great results. Individuals practice meditation and I have seen profound benefits on people with amazing health results

With all the hustling and bustling out there how do you practice mindfulness especially when dealing with rejection and uncertainty now?
