Musings from Nancita's Heart

  Hi, guys. How do you do?  Is it just me or this year is kinda fast? So I woke up to something that got me thinking a lot on Thursday. And then, I decided to add it to this post I was already cooking.  So on Thursday, my pastor posted this in our church's group chat. I did the math and it's true. For those of you that have forgotten simple math, to confirm this, just divide 19 by 365 and multiply by 100. 19, because it was the nineteenth day of the year.  So going by this calculation, we've got 95% (now less sha) left in the year. How do you plan on spending it? And what's the plan for the plan? Like, have you mapped out a strategy for the plan? I'm also asking myself this question. It can feel overwhelming, I know. But let's learn to function beyond the overwhelm. I'll say that again. Dear blog reader, learn to function beyond the overwhelm.  While you've written down or will write down the things to do this year, may I suggest the things to not do?  H

Hi guys, how do you do?  Today's post is a quick one on habits. Are you ready? Let's go…  On the 16th of September, 2022, I put up this post on Whatsapp and a friend of mine replied, asking me to impart her with the habit..  I told her habits are not imparted, but built over time with consistency.

But trust me, with time, it eventually fades or reduces. What keeps you going is your commitment to be consistent.  So now, how can you build habits and be consistent with them? I know you're asking this question already. Here goes your answer:  I totally love how James Clear explained it in his book; Atomic Habits.  Atomic Habits is a guide to building good habits and breaking bad ones. It emphasizes the importance of making small, incremental changes to one's habits, as opposed to trying to mak

Hi guys, HAPPY NEW YEAR.  2023 is already three days old. Can you imagine? Did you review the previous year? Have you made plans for this year? More importantly, have you started running with the plans? If yes, how are you running? Just running or running intentionally? You should be running intentionally, we all should run through the year intentionally.  You see, no one can depend on vibes to run the year. Vibes fade, eventually. It's a new year and for most people, resolutions have been made. Visions and plans have been written here and there, which are all good. But the vibes that come with the new year will soon fizzle out. It's fickle. I think mine has fizzled out already sef 😆  The real thing that can carry you through the year in fulfilling your plans and converting your goals from idea to I did it is discipline. Intentional discipline. You must commit to showing up, no matter your mood, emotion, or feeling.  According to the Wheel of Life Theory, there are about twel
