Always remember to take breaks in between serious Always remember to take breaks in between serious work especially if you are a creative. 

As a writer, I usually aim to write for at most 30 minutes before taking an intentional short break, sometimes long break. 

This helps me release pressure and open my mind for more creativity. If you are feeling overwhelmed or not able to create anything, take a break, take a walk, and you’ll notice as you stop thinking about that work ideas will flow. How ironic? 

Anyways, today, I took a break, came on Instagram and thought I should create a reel.

Here’s the outcome.

Brethren, always take break.

Why am I dropping this on a weekend though? Like who’s working?

If you want to have an unproductive day, start the day without a plan. 

Today, I woke up and just didn’t feel like planning my day and here I am, doing anything but what I term productive. 

You get it?

Posted @withregram • @sicklecellprodigygram We’re a movement by ourselves but we become a strong force when advocates come together.

To celebrate World Sickle Cell Day, we’ve teamed up with advocates and patient influencers around the world for this year’s #SCDHeyChallenge.

Representation matters and these diverse group of advocates have earned patient’s a seat at the table, especially in conversations about sickle cell care.

Healing should be at the center of healthcare, not the patient’s diagnosis, race, or limitations. 

Patients are Strong
Patients are Worthy
Patients are Thriving

Imagine that you have three months left to live, w Imagine that you have three months left to live, would you regret anything about the way you’re living? What would you do for the remaining months?

I came across an episode of a podcast this morning and this was the question asked. It spoke to me, it was like the cue I needed to live more intentionally so I went into my journal and wrote some of the things I’d change.

Take this as your cue to live an intentional life and always go for it. 

Thank you for coming to today’s episode of whatever I like, I post.

I’d love to know your thoughts.
