5 Ways to Handle Stress

5 Ways to Handle Stress 1. Stop trying to remember everything. Write it down on 1 tablet that you will use. Not sticky notes. You'll lose them. 2. Stop trying to please everyone. Be happy with yourself. Hurt people hurt people. Find your own peace. Some people are miserable. Keep them in prayer but work on you. 3. Take care of your body and mind. Exercise, Eat Right, Get Rest, Meditate, Cut people off! Balance your life! If it cost you your peace, it cost too much. 4. Stop jump starting your day with false energy: coffee, sugar. Replace with Prayer and Affirmations: I can do this! I will be successful! I love myself! 5. Talk to your problems rather than talking about your problems! Speak life into your situation. Blessings to You! Robert Jackson www.robertjacksonmotivates.com

This letter is from my wife cousin Mr.  Archie Harper  from his heart, Thoughts Of A Middle Aged Corny Heterosexual Single Black Man: Times have definitely changed .... Good things are considered bad or corny, and bad things are considered good. Yeah...I know crazy right? We are living in a different day and age, it is considered strange, by today's standards, for a man to compliment a woman at work, grocery store, and in a public setting. Or, speak kindly to her in an effort to get to know her, or even call her on the phone on a regular basis (not texting, actually talking). In doing so, he can be considered "desperate" or even "corny" But, if she happens to post a picture on any social website, she finds it acceptable for any man to "like" or comment most statements that they wouldn't have the "manhood" to speak to her in person. Well....I guess that I am old fashioned and "corny" because I still find it polite to

A soul-mate is someone you have a very deep connection. It is not always easy explained. It is a meeting of mind, heart, body, and soul on the highest of levels. Communication is at its easiest, as they understand you perfectly, and accept you completely with no judgments....... A soul-mate is when you love an imperfect person perfectly. ~ Marcus n Gloria

TROTUS has a problem with LeBron James , who has started the I Promise school (240 third and fourth graders presently, with plans in 2022 to have grades 1-8) in his native Akron, Ohio... Because LeBron is a better basketball player? Because LeBron is a better man? Because LeBron is more respected? Because The LeBron James Family Foundation has a powerful vision and Mission? Because LeBron would sit down and talk to Barack Obama but not TROTUS? Or because LeBron is black and has said that TROTUS is dividing this country along racial lines. Read about LeBron's Foundation and his school projects here: http://www.lebronjamesfamilyfoundation.org/page/ipromiseschool I Promise Principal Brandi Davis talks with NPR's Rachel Martin about the school's Mission: https://www.npr.org/2018/08/01/634492350/principal-of-lebron-james-i-promise-school-talks-about-mission

3m I cannot say how impressed I am that the school @kingjames is opening today (30-July-18) to serve low-performing students is a traditional public school. Instead of taking resources from the Akron Public Schools, he is adding to them. So excited for the @LJFamFoundation #Ipromise ⁠ ⁠... These kids are truly blessed to have an amazing role model. Dream big kids!!! NOTE: Thank God he didn’t shut up and just dribble!!! @KingJames @LJFamFoundation The #IPromise School https://on.si.com/2NVoQ1f

May 12, 2018  👩🏾‍🎓 I am now standing here a UA Alumni. And from the many days dragging myself out of bed to go to class, borrowed WiFi passwords for homework and pep-talks from my family to get my head back in the game and moving out on my own. I can say that everything was worth it. I dreamt of all this and I just feel blessed. My hard worked paid off and I received my Bachelors with plans of returning for my Masters. She believed she could, so she did.  # BlackExcellence   # TheUniversityofAkron  Class of 2018
