“Self care, I’m treatin’ me
Right, yeah, hell yeah
We gonna be alright”
– Mac Miller on “Self Care“

In this fast paced world, it’s easy to misalign priorities. For example, many forget to place importance on their mental health because there’s so much else going on. And trust me, I get it. That’s why I feel we need to be more deliberate in taking care of our own health. So yeah, it’s helpful to check in with yourself from time to time.

“Brick by brick, buildin’ a wall that no one could break
Flip by flip, glad I could help so you could be straight”

– Will Smith on Joyner Lucas’ “Will (Remix)“

Whenever it seems like there’s too much on your plate, or you’ve got so many tasks that it gets overwhelming, it helps to break things down into smaller things. Otherwise, that feeling can take over and drown you. I’ve struggled with this a lot over the years, and I’m trying different methods to manage projects better. So, let’s talk about it!

“Keep grinding boy, your life can change in one year
And even when it’s dark out, the sun is shining somewhere”

– J. Cole on “Premeditated Murder“

It’s really easy to get overwhelmed, especially when you have a lot on your plate. From responsibilities at home, ambitions for the future, to all the multitasking you may be carrying professionally, these are just some examples of things that we’re trying to juggle. It’s tough to balance it all sometimes. So when you feel like you got a million things on your list (and your mind), take a moment…and remind yourself how important it is to pace yourself.

What up y’all? What’s going on? Hope you guys are staying safe out there, especially in a krazy world right now. Welcome to the Ajaxxx.com April 2020 Opinions Column (we’ll pretend this was actually published in April lol). For those that are new to the site, this is where I talk about whatever is on my mind. For those that are returning, welcome back! With that said, let’s talk about the importance of pacing yourself.

“Damn right I like the life I live, ’cause I went from negative to positive”
– Notorious B.I.G. on “Juicy“

I remember when I first heard that happiness is a choice. I was like hmmm, that’s an interesting take on it. I struggled with the idea, especially with the hardships I faced. As I thought about it though, it began to resonate. I mean, it’s definitely oversimplified, but it made sense. So, let’s talk about it. Let’s talk about choosing happiness.
