I'M HELLA BORED: CHANGE OF HABITS


"Ugh, I'm bored."

Hey ya'll! Welcome to 2019! I'm so glad that you decided to bring me with you instead of leaving me in the old year with all the people you hate. I know it's the top of the year and most of us are already a few days into our new diet plans. We cold. We mean. And we hungry. But, if you want to see change, you have to make a change, right?

Change is the one thing that is consistent in our lives. Nothing ever stays the same. For the month of January, I'll be talking to you all about CHANGE. Which can mean a lot of different things for a lot of people. For me, this first week of 2019, it meant boredom.

Before Christmas, I promised myself that after I finished my last blog post, I was taking some time to myself. Now, if ya'll follow me on social media, you know I go hard with the self promotion. I'm in ya'll face every. damn. day. And it ain't nothing you can do to stop me because I feel like I have a mission to accomplish. I meant it when I said "If nobody is going to cast me, then I'm going to cast myself." Ya'll, I go hard. But, someone (I don't know who) once said that too much of anything is never good for you. Even when I wasn't posting, I found myself getting distracted by scrolling during a movie night. My right thumb was even starting to hurt! That's ridiculous!

I had to change that habit. So, I took a 5 day social media hiatus. Here's what I learned from that boredom:
1. Social media is my connection to others - I need more human interaction.
2. I put a lot of pressure on myself - I can ease up sometimes.
3. Dating apps are just as trash as I left them.

Change was so heavy on my heart that I also changed my diet. Not because I plan on never eating cake again but because I turn 30 this year and I can't let 23 year old me out-do 30 year old me. Plus, I was starting to go on a cupcake/bakery mission every week. That's ridiculous!

I had to change that habit. Here's what I'm learning from being bored with this meal plan:
1. The way I was eating popcorn is a sin.
2. You go to bed on time when you're not eating snacks in the kitchen all night.
3. My thighs deserve their own YouTube channel.

Look ya'll, the moral of the story is, sometimes, change means boredom when it's time to cut those unhealthy habits. Maybe it's too much social media, maybe it's too many sweets, maybe it's too much drama. Whatever it is that you're struggling to break from know that the CHANGE starts with you.

See ya'll next week.

BUILDING SEASON

"Ok. But, when?" Aight so boom, last week we discussed being in a season of waiting. Now, waiting doesn't mean sitting there and doing absolutely nothing. When you're waiting in the doctor's office, do you just stare at the ceiling? No, you're either reading the magazines they provide, scrolling through your phone, or thinking about your next move. Watch how I'm bout to hit ya'll with this metaphor... Photo: My Mama If you are occupying your waiting time while in the doctor's office, why not apply that same concept to your everyday life and BUILD on your dreams while you wait. God is the doctor. While you're in his waiting room, you need to be thinking about your next move. Did ya'll like that or was that too much? Sorry. The black church is jumping out of me. In honor of 314 day, I'm going to give ya'll a quick peek into my BUILDING SEASON in that waiting room in St. Louis:  Ya'll know this story. About the ti...

SHIFT YOUR ENERGY

"Get ready for a shift." Aight so boom... I used to think that only crazy, unfortunate things happened to me . Like, I was the only one to be chubby and teased as a child, I was the only clumsy kid who dropped everything, I never really won anything, I was the only one in the world who tried to make a mother's day spread and it end up being too salty to eat. At one point, I started calling myself "Bad Luck Brit". Whatever energy you put out comes back to you. Photo: Sierra Campbell Because of those experiences, I went through most of life almost always expecting things to turn out for the worst. I mean, I would think of the most horrible case scenario for every situation. Me: *Gets a new job* Also, Me: "Watch, I'm gone get fired for this pink hair and nose ring." Me: *Meets a nice man* Also, Me: "Watch, he gone have a secret relationship, a hidden baby and commitment issues." See what I'm saying? There...
