Be Intentional About Your Health

August 2014🔆

My photo shoot for my first ebook-Overdrive.

I had experienced a burnout after a grueling few years. At the time I made the decision to change my diet and exercise regimen. I also integrated fasting, deep sessions in prayer and reading inspirational materials, and slowly built myself back up.

I stumbled across this image today and realize that I have remained pretty consistent over the past 12 years.

Sometimes it is hard to guard against burnout, but if it happens, you have to become intentional about making changes.

How It Started

I remembered leaving my night classes at the local college and feeling unsteady on my feet. Before I got to my car, I slightly passed out and a good samaritan called an ambulance.

The ER said my blood pressure was elevated, gave me some medicine, and sent me home. That feeling persisted for weeks resulting in several more trips to the emergency room.

After months of doctors' visits, the conclusion was I was experiencing a convergence of extreme stress and menopause.

I made intentional changes to my diet, exercise, stress management, and my "quiet times" with God. I experienced a huge turnaround with my health.

I chronicled my journey in an ebook- Overdrive, available on Amazon

Have a great weekend🔆
