REFLECTIONS

Reflection is the act or a state of being reflected.

Self-reflection is a humbling process. It is essential to find out why you think, say, and do certain things. Honest self-reflection opens your mind to reprogramming, change, success and freedom. Do not become too pre-occupied with what is happening around you, rather pay more attention to what is going on with you. Always want to be the best version of yourself for anyone who is going to someday walk into our lives and need someone to love them beyond reason. Even if you are doing well and have it all figured out, there is a voice you will always hear at some point which nags at you continuously but don’t ever dismiss it, listen to what it has to say. Life will never be close enough to be perfect and listening to that voice marks stepping outside of yourself and considering your own wrong doing and flaws. Stop trying to be less of who you are, let this time in your life cut you open and drain all of the things that are holding you back. You can’t see yourself; you know what you look like because of mirrors and photographs. Out there in the world, as you move among your fellow human beings, whether strangers of friends or the most intimate beloveds, your own face is invisible to you. You can see other parts of yourself, arms and legs, hands and feet, shoulders and torso, but only from the front, nothing of the backs except the backs of your legs, if you twist them into the right position, but never your face and in its end –at least. As far as others are concerned, your face is who you are, the essential fact of your identity.  The only conflict you will ever have in your life won’t be with others but with yourself.

FOOD

Food and eating behavior often begin during childhood and are closely tied to family and culture. There is a strong relationship between memory and food; for example the taste, smell and the texture of the food can trigger memories of earlier food related events and activities in our lives. For me, jollof rice and cow meat in a tray with my lovely sisters every Christmas morning triggers memories of I and my sisters together as children. Throughout our lives we may associate certain foods with a holiday, past events, or a specific memory. These may even provide comfort during times of sadness or sorrow. There is no question that food plays a major role in life, this role does not lessen even if the ability to swallow, chew, digest, or absorb food is lost.

A healthy diet is the basis for a well-functioning body. Food is the source of energy for all of our bodily functions and affects how our bodies and minds function in every stage of life. There are variety of reasons why a healthy diet is important, including disease prevention, maintenance of a healthy weight and quality of life.

Your food choices each day affect your health. How you feel today, tomorrow, and in the future.
