The 7 Vital Self-Check Heath Program by Jonry Heyce

A good friend and writer, Jonry Heyce, recently published ''The 7 Vital Self-Check Heath Program''and invited me to listen to it on Audible.

The author clarifies some key terms such as self-efficacy, self-discipline, self-esteem, self-love and provides examples as to how we sometimes sabotage ourselves to live fulfilling lives and what we need to do, such as practising mindfulness. to always come back to love, care and kindness towards ourselves and others.

As the author mentioned and clarified the term self-efficacy, a concept originally proposed by psychologist Albert Bandura. It refers to the belief in their capacity to execute behaviours necessary to produce specific performance attainments, I could not stop thinking about my doctoral experience and belief in my capacity to complete the programme. Oh my, when your self-esteem is at a bottom of the bucket, that all the parts of you feel under scrutiny and judged by the demons of the past, you fall into the worst of habits. I won't tell you what happened there...

It is a responsibility to practise mindfulness, to come back to love and appreciation, to be compassionate towards oneself, stay present, true to oneself and others. It demands sacrifices. You have to kill the person who finds it easier to stop believing in themselves, blame their situation on others and circumstances and ask to be cared for, saved as if they were vulnerable.

It takes maturity, foresight and constant practice. A Happy, Successful Life is a Choice - a choice to believe in our capacity to create it and execute all the behaviours that will attain it.

It may be time to create a blacklist of companies to avoid and definitely refuse to  work for: - Those which are more than 3 miles than my home - Those which does not allow me to work from home - Those which does not allow me to work fewer hours - Those which pollute with no sorry - Those with negative employee reviews - Those which do not design products that are repairable - Those which do not put the wellbeing of their staff first what else, add to the list

Exploring Dreams:At the theatre, my favourite part is when the light goes off

At the theatre, my favourite part is when the light goes off. There and then, you know that: ''this is it, you cannot come out''. The configuration is as such that you are stuck with those sitting next to you on a ride. The actors speak to a part too often unknown to ourselves so we can get to see in between their lines the truth. Sometimes, they are so good at their jobs that they send us into a slumber, who knows what happens when we jump into another alternate reality as they continue their ritual. When the show finally ends, it is time to release the actors, ourselves and others from any further attachment to this world of dreams and come back down grounded to planet earth. Over the years, some plays impacted me more than others, Hamlet and King Lear by Shakespeare, Waiting for Godot by Becket, A Respectable Wedding by Brecht, La Baye by Philippe Adrien, Mefiez Vous de La Pierre a Barbe de Ahmed Madani...I was there the spectator, the actor, the confidant...Until I ...

Forearm yourself with the Politics of Time and Repair the broken work-centred economy - after reading ''the Refusal of Work'' by David Frayne.

This weekend, I read the Refusal of Work by David Frayne. In the book, he defines work and exposes critical accounts of different authors on how work is valued and regarded as a morally good behaviour to engage in so that the individual can be financially independent to buy more stuff at the detriments of its own health and wellbeing and the integrity of the natural environment. He, then, shares the experiences of a number of individuals who refused to work the typical 40 hours a week in favour of working either fewer hours or not at all. The Whys, the Hows and the ongoing tension the participants of the research experience between what is currently seen as an ideal behaviour and their own provide the reader with a mirror to reflect upon their own working or non-working situation. The work of André Gorz on The Politics of Time punctuates the writing in a beautiful manner and I am thankful to have been introduced to his thoughts. Finally, He invites us to get ready to o...
