The Book Of Proverb|Book Review|

It is not many times you pick up a book and it be something you have actually needed.
Tebogo Thekisho also known as ProVerb is not someone who is new to our TV screens. Host of the popular musical TV show Idols, you might see him on your TV every Sunday. What I love most about this book is that ProVerb did not hold back. He also addresses the affair that his ex-wife had and their divorce.
It is amazing to see his evolution from being a rapper to an entrepreneur, this book shows you that life is what you make of it. He starts by describing his upbringing, in which he was raised by two hard-working parents who were well educated. He also talks about his close bond with his grandmother, sister and half-brothers. He also regrets not taking his education seriously and not utlising the opportunities he was given by his parents. He also realises that coming from a home were his parents were seperated pushed him to want a picture perfect family which later turned into turmoil. It is great to read about a man who has strong family relations and respects women. He also shares his suicide attempt and how Idols saved him. I love how recent this book is as ProVerb covers the Covid-19 pandemic,how it affected his life and how important it is to find inner peace. If you are going through a hard time this book is what you need. If you are also into Hip-Hop/rap like I am you might enjoy the small rap verses from his own songs at the beginning of each chapter. I a hundred percent recommend this book. It is a 5/5 for me.

Live better not faster

Good day, my love bugs. Who here only knows a state of freeze? You live in a state of constant, worry, stress, and anxiety. Well, join the club. I have been struggling with so much stress and anxiety these past few weeks that it has deeply affected my sleep schedule. It has made me reflect on my habits and my thought patterns. I realized that I am always looking at what needs to be done next or what goal still needs to be achieved while I haven't stayed in what I already have and am grateful about it. It made me think, that we are always moving especially at a rush pace. Where are well rushing to? The meaning of slow living Slow living is a mindset that encourages us to live in a self-aware and more conscious state of being where we make purposeful decisions for the benefit of our well-being. This mindset disregards the notion that being busy equates to being successful or important. Slow living is a part of the wider slow movement which began in the 1980s in Italy. It began as a m...

The smart to average kid pipeline

My inspiration for this post came from a YouTube video titled ' You were a gifted kid 7 years ago. Now what?' by David Achu, I will link it down below. I won't toot my horn but I was a pretty smart kid. I got most of the awards in primary school and early on in high school. Being smart was my brand until fast forward to late high school and varsity. I know I am not the only one who has had this experience so let's take a lot into the dynamic of being a smart kid, overachiever, or even a child genius. You are not smart, you score well. The public school system in South Africa is focused more on feeding information to children rather than teaching students. The teachers are under pressure, schools are overcrowded and resources are limited. So, the system bases which children are bright on who can memorize the most information and who can get the highest scores. I mean scores do matter, APS/GPA matter and it also determines what you study in the future and...

So you want to start therapy...

Good day, my love bugs. I put up an Instagram poll a while back on my wellness page @ acreatorswrite and I asked you guys what is the one thing you want to try or do in 2024. The majority of the response was therapy. As someone who has been in therapy since high school and someone who works in social services, I know that therapy can sound so overwhelming. Let us dismantle some of the myths that are associated with therapy. 1. Every journey starts with acceptance In the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous , the first step is to admit that you have a problem. This is similar to therapy because denial does not take you anywhere with any journey be it a fitness journey or a spiritual journey- you have to admit that there is something you have to address, a truth you are running away from, or an unresolved trauma that you have to deal with in therapy. Acceptance also comes with accountability in therapy you are going to have to own up to everything you ...
