OCTOBER - BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH


As we close up on October - breast cancer awareness month, the most common cancer in women of all races, with over a hundred thousand cases diagnosed per year in Nigeria.
We ain't stopping the campaign! , but to go on reminding you of how to take proactive measures to win and maintain a healthy breast.

Be reminded of:
1. The risk factors: 
~ Females are more at risk but be informed that breast cancer can also be found in men
~ Your family history and age
~ Lack of physical activity and obesity
~ Women who smoke and drink immoderately
~ Frequent exposure to radiation from radiotherapeutic treatments

2. Signs and symptoms to watch out for:
~ A change in the shape and size of the breast
~ Growth of mass called lumps from the breast tissue
~ Inversion of the #nipples
~ Pigmentation and scarring of the breast skin
~ Discharge of blood or mucosal fluids from the nipples.

🎉 The good news is ~  breast cancer survival rates are rising as screening methods and treatments offered are being improved; 

~ As a lifeline in your community, support cancer fighters in your environment, celebrate the survivors and be sure to show respect to those lost.

~ Wellness Cues: Eat plant-based diet limit intake of alcohol, sodas, sugars, smoked and canned foods, quit smoking 🚭, exercise 🏊‍♂ , and maintain a healthy body mass index ⚖.

~ As a female, check for any change in the shape or look of your breasts on a bi-monthly basis via self-examination (during your ovulation or after your monthly menstrual flow); If you observe any, do see a doctor.

~ Make a biannual mammogram screening part of your yearly schedule.

➡️ Prevention is Primal, and Early Detection is Life Saving 💯⛑

THRIVE BY LEARNING IN DISCIPLINE

Months ago, I bore on to be trained by a successful senior colleague. As an oldie, I sometimes am tempted to skip training by telling myself that I know and have done these things before. After a month, I realized newbies were delivering results I had yet to have. I mustered courage and went to meet my trainer! to access me. IToas confident he would give me the needed spanking and motivational alignment, but lo😭, he said_ hosanna be more disciplined. It took me weeks to readjust, humble myself, and start doing what was needed to cause a shift in my mental attitude; the results I got were changing for the better. I am excited to share these transformational life cues with you today : 1. Be OPEN! Be CURIOUS:  You have to become like a child in any learning sphere. Learn to watch, talk less & do more than average. 2. HUMILITY: This will take you to places and help you learn from nobody and everybody to be Somebody. 3. DISCIPLINE: without this, no man can be truly su

LIFE Mission: Find a Balance

LIFE Mission: Find a Balance  In social sciences, we were made to understand that man's needs are insatiable. True as it may be, it doesn't stop us from utilizing the gift of life and our daily going forth in search of ways to fill these needs! Year 2018 has started in its majestic regalia, you might have taken time out to write out your yearly goals & dreams, taking action steps towards them every day and prioritizing your immediate wants & needs........good! good! good. I have learned that: Man's life is based on Beliefs upon which he builds his faith; our Needs lay the bedrock on which our Beliefs are built. Despite being aware of the truth that all men will someday pass on to the great beyond and be free of this cycle, many still live a carefree life in the present! with a vain sense of relief and reassurance that the pleasures of now and tempting joys from the imagination of the future will bring them to satisfy all their desires and need

THE 10X RULE - Grant Cardone

Hi guys, I have been on diet with this book: The 10X Rule , authored by Grant Cardone, an entrepreneur, and sales motivation coach; and want to share the value I got with you. The book is a must-read if you seek to achieve success in your personal life and business. It comprises 23 Chapters built around a discipline called the "10X Rule; which is about pure domination mentality. You never do what others do, you must be willing to take actions and do what you or others might deem unreasonable. Here are the action points that I got: ~ Things change ; nothing remains as it was, for things to be maintained, they require attention and action. Thus to be an extremely successful person you must know that your efforts must continue in order for them to realize new achievements. ~ In life or business, many people make mistakes of underestimating the time, energy, and effort required to achieving their set goals. If you commit this mistake, you will have quit in your mind, voic
