Are you just copying everybody else or do your truly love the things you do?

I quickly realised that my morning routines were complete and alter bull when I looked closely at my list and saw that most of the things, I wrote down I don’t even like to do them. E.g drink 500 ml of warm lemon water in the morning 🤢🤢🤮 eww no thanks or seat down and meditate. Lord knows my meditation happens at night just before I am able to fall sleep – so why was I forcing it every morning? The answer is simple I kept trying to do this because everybody said this is what your morning routine should look like.

Now my morning looks like, wake up, study my bible, journal, try and catch sunrise whilst listening to a podcast, come back home and sit down my to do my creative hour where this caption is most likely to have been written. Finished by dancing for about 5 mins to a hype song whilst heading to the shower - then I am then I am officially ready to start my day. Some days we stick to the plans other day we don’t and that’s okay. So long as your morning routine actually has the things you enjoy doing and brings you 1% closer to your goals then you are on the right track. So yes do try new things but if it does not work for you then let it go!

And if you are not a morning person, just totally ignore everything you have just read. My point basically is do you boo.

Now tell me if you do have a morning routine what does it look like? 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾

If you could plan a trip to any city this very moment, where would it be ? I promise to respond back with one activity you absolutely must do 😍 legoooo 🎉🎉💃🏾

Be present 😌 In a society that constantly push

Be present 😌

In a society that constantly push us to be stronger, faster and better. Sometimes we forget the importance of breathing, reflecting and being present. We are either reminiscing on the past or constantly worrying about the future. But what about the present moment?

A few friends started asking me about my December plans because I have a track record of ending the year with a bang, as December is also my birthday month. When you are born on the last day of the year, you just got to enter each new year with all the vim you can gather.

December 2016 – Australia
December 2017 – south Africa
December 2018 - Morocco
December 2019 - Iceland

The truth is I honestly don’t know where I would be for Christmas or for my birthday this year. But what I do know for sure is that I would be surrounded with so much love and I will celebrate the year that went so fast and so slow all at the same time. So, for now I am enjoying life little pleasures like me seating on this old bridge overlooking the river in Castle Combe aka "The prettiest village in England”.

P.s : picture was taking using a self-timer. The remote was not working so I had to run and pose within 10 seconds. Whilst praying I don’t fall in the river. Things we do for the gram!

Anyway, what are your Christmas plans?

Why is it that when a man build a wall, the next man immediately needs to know what’s on the other side?

It takes grace to balance remaining curious whilst staying on your lane. Travelling means you become open to so many things yet trying to mainatain your core values. So how does one do this? My answer is growth occurs in two ways: up and down. The upward growth is visible to the world - they may or maynot accept it. But the most important is the downward growth, the ROOTS. This aspect Is hidden but yet so important.

For a lot of things I do not know but this I know for sure. I am Black.kintsugi, joy seeker and light provider!

What is your daily mantra? 👇🏾

What are you promising to do more of this month?

What are you promising to do more of this month?

For me I want to actively chase new opportunities. Not be afraid to say yes even on days that I might be scared.

I really like the month of November because even though the year has almost come to an end, there is a somewhat hope; You have another chance to really make it count.

So I will be here drinking more water and minding my business as per usual, whilst using my environmental friendly @stojo reusable bottle and cup.

What are your goals for the new month? Tell me below, I want to hold you accountable 💕💕🙈

You are loved.

When I was in primary 6 I had just relocated U.K. and feeling very much like I did not belong. We would play sport back then and there were always two captains and we would line up and they would pick people to join their team. I was the outsider. The girl with the funny accent so I was always picked last. But I promise to my self that if I ever had to pick. I would pick me over and over again.

More than 15 years later and I still doing just that.

Each time I decided to go on another adventure, I pick me!
Each time I choose joy over bitterness, I pick me.
Whenever I am unapologetically myself, I am actively picking me!

I will always pick me no matter what.

Have you wherever felt unloved? Unwanted?

Understand you have the power to change that narrative. You just have to realise how freaking amazing you are!!!

Let’s flood this comment section with ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

P.s: I am looking to advance my hand modelling career if you have any connections pls let me know 😝😝🤣

Dear Nigerian Youth,

My heart is filled with so much joy! I could not be proud of what we have achieved in the past few days! In a matter of days an entire system has been created that covers everything from funding, logistics & comms, rapid response - (legal/medical) all the way to cleaning up after every protest and everything in between.

No committes, no multi billion dollar allocation, just guts and sheer grit. What a beauty to behold!

To be honest the last few days have been overwhelming for most of us. They want to break us so we will stop fighting, but guess what?? We are stronger and united than they thought.

We won’t stop protesting until they End SARS and police brutality!

A revolution have began! It is organic and from the youth who have suppressed their anger for years.

We will keep fighting for a new Nigeria!
#endSARS

Love always ❤️
Oluwapelumi (Oluwapeluwa) Nubi

P.s comment with the Nigerian flag to show support 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
