Health Talks with Diyenau

Good afternoon, dear reader🤗 It's been a long and boring day. I hope you are enjoying your day, and I hope that your week is pulling through just fine.  So let's paint a very familiar scenario in our heads of the moment(s) when we seem to be extremely scared and uncertain about how things might turn out for us. Those moments of frustration, moments when you are scared, timid, and uncertain you do not know if you have enough courage to even walk down the road. You know, I can't mention all those "moments" but I'm sure we've all had a fair share of them at one point or the other in our lives because we cannot avoid them.  I call those moments the period(s) when our minds are " crazy ". This means that our minds are unsound, unstable, or sickly. It means that we cannot get ourselves to do anything, and even if we manage to, we do not score them as perfectly as we ordinarily should, or we doubt that we are doing it right. We feel like our courage ha...

Happy Valentine's Day, dear reader.  Here's me sending you all the love I have in my heart, but hoping that you understand that it doesn't compare one bit to the love that Christ has for you and all that you embody.  I struggled to come up with a name for this blog for a very long time as every possible name seemed to have one fault or the other. The more names I tried to think of, the more they did not seem to perfectly convey what I had in mind. When I finally settled on 'Health Talks with Diyenau' , the name seemed too broad and I wondered how much of it I could possibly cover.  I decided to check what the word "Health" means. The World Health Organization defines "Health" as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. This definition was as of 1948, and well, this is 2024 so we should expect one or two changes.  In my thoughts and for the sake of this blog, I decided to defin...

You would ordinarily think that starting something is such an easy task until you get to the point where you actually need to start. At that point, every fear, doubt, and accusation that has been in hiding shows up and takes the lead somewhere and somehow in your subconscious and conscious mind. They get so loud that you no longer hear the voice of courage and determination that brought you up to the point where you are.  To make things worse, someone like myself will think that 'Beginnings' ought to be grand, they ought to be well planned, and they just have to be perfect 👌(of course, we should show up in style), but sometimes it's far from that.  Beginnings just have to do with a move or a step. Sometimes the second step comes earlier, other times much later, but in all, a beginning has started. I've struggled with this for maybe more than a year, because I've always wanted it perfect and grand, but not anymore. I'm showing up and I'm glad that this very ...
