*Repost* The Art of Being True To Oneself One thing that has been consistent over the decades is that people are always on some kind of trip. Be it political, religious, or health (to name a few), we are all on a journey for truth and a better life. I wouldn't go so far as … Continue reading Finding Yourself Without Losing Yourself
Letting The Past Off The Hook
Mind Control While sitting in my patio this morning, a thought randomly crossed my mind, and it really upset me. That thought brought other unpleasant thoughts, and they were all related to each other. They all shared a common bond. I believe that mornings set the pace for the rest of the day, so It's … Continue reading Letting The Past Off The Hook
Accepting Life’s Challenges
Turning Failures Into Flyness For the last few days, I've been pondering my upcoming transition as I prepare for it. At times, it feels like I'm on an emotional rollercoaster, worrying about the most ridiculous things. One night, I actually cried so hard, that I had to awaken my sons. Why was I crying? Because … Continue reading Accepting Life’s Challenges
How Intermittent Fasting Works For Me
Putting Life In Perspective For the past several weeks, I've been fasting every Monday and Tuesday. Not only do I fast food, but I also abstain from social media. When I first began fasting, my reason was to build a stronger connection to The Source and increase my spirituality. I felt that by removing a … Continue reading How Intermittent Fasting Works For Me
Taking Your Confidence Back
Forgetting About What "They" Said *Repost* How many of you have had a dream of something that you've always wanted to do, or become, but the words and perceptions of others deterred you?

Don’t Be Afraid To Say No
Take Care of #1 Those who have spent enough time around me have likely heard me state the phrase, "So. They won't die from that", or, "They won't die from madness, disappointment, etc". Anyone who has heard me make that statement most likely heard it during a conversation about someone having to say "NO" to … Continue reading Don’t Be Afraid To Say No
Life: Don’t Take It For Granted
Dedicated to Napolin. RIH. As I've shared with you all a few times before, by trade, I work in customer service. (I've also shared how very badly that job gets on my nerves, but I digress.) The very first call that I answered today was from a woman who was a front desk agent at … Continue reading Life: Don’t Take It For Granted
Anxiety, Insecurity, And Overthinking
You Control Your Thoughts I spent a great part of today overthinking things. As I've expressed in prior articles, I'm about to make a huge life change. This change is like no other transition that I have ever made. With making changes of any kind, there are always moving parts, sometimes a few, sometimes many. … Continue reading Anxiety, Insecurity, And Overthinking
Humans VS Humanity
Why Do We Do What We Do? Why are human beings so fickle? We latch onto things while they're hot, and when they cool off, we act as if said event never happened. Are we loyal to anything? Or, is our loyalty only as lengthy as the latest trend? Are we really so fickle that … Continue reading Humans VS Humanity
Being Supportive of Yourself
Don't Second Guess Yourself I've been writing Afrologik for ten months now. Writing this blog has become one of my favorite things to do. I love and appreciate the reactions (both the good and the bad reactions. Luckily, there are far more good reactions than bad). I'm not exaggerating when I say that Afrologik has … Continue reading Being Supportive of Yourself
