Stretch Or Die!

Sorry, that headline was way over the top.
I just thought it would be funny 😄
Started with stretches today (day 3).
Yesterday evening, I was just goofing off on Google Play Store, checking out apps and reviews.
And I stumbled on this app by Leap Fitness Group (or so I think!)
All I know is that its the same company that made Habit.
So the app was about stretching exercises.
(Don't know if the sentence above is grammatically correct...whatevs!)
I read the reviews at first...a whooping 4.8 out of 5 for the star ratings!
So I thought 'okay, this should be interesting'
I also noticed that there were a range of other exercise training apps from this same company.
Weight training, home workout for men, for women, face yoga, (I actually found that one weird...), even water drinking reminder!
I was like, wow! this company know their stuff. 
So I downloaded the app.
Went through it and started one exercise.
It was for neck and shoulder pain relief. The lady coach voice was very helpful, even my youngest siblings understood what to do and we stretched together.
To be honest, it was hard and very weird at first...I noticed I wasn't flexible at all.
Just bones creaking here and there as I did the stretches. 
But it was fun doing it with my younger brother and sister.
After the 7 minutes exercise was completed, I closed the app so I could get ready to prepare dinner.
My youngest sibling, a boy looked up at me and said, "Sister, let's do the sleepy time stretches before we go to sleep".
I agreed. (By the way, the sleepy time stretches is a category of stretches on the app)
All in all, I have to admit that I felt kind of better after stretching.
Will definitely continue with the routine.
Morning, afternoon, night.
You can't have enough stretches, right?
I plan to do some research on the health benefits of it though. I like to know what I will gain in the long run by stretching.
Everyone knows exercise is good.
I would like to know the specifics of this particular one.
Till next time,
Adios 👋
PS: my muscles were sore after the first stretches...but overtime, they'll get used to it....I hope :|

Overwhelmed

Hey Ami....what's up? Hope it's all going well at your side. If it's not, just remember that things will get better.......and it pays to be grateful that things are not worse than they currently are. Well, my day went great...figured out how my work time would go. Explored my former accounts today and started to make some changes. Especially to my IG account. I also started to feel slightly overwhelmed at the thought of how I would manage my presence on these platforms. The people who do it are no different....it all just comes down to planning and systems. I'm gonna explore that as well. And also realized that the Threads platform is quite different from IG. Anyways, I think I would have to plan out how I'm going to show up on my platforms. Although...the goal is my email list...still need a plan. As for this challenge, I got what I really needed out of it.... learning about routines as a way to simplify habits. That's all for now.....typing was not part of my ...

System Update

A simple system update  That was the only thing it took to make my day, Ami. The day started with me trying to type out content...but the keyboard wasn't responding like I wanted it to. And I didn't want it to make me upset so I just adjusted to it...but then I started to think of how it was going to be if I needed to type a response to a message online....(that's me thinking ahead) "Well, till that time comes", was my final thought. I browsed the settings to see how I could remedy the situation (it was really getting to me 😬) Couldn't really figure out anything so I just left it and charged my phone. Then, evening came and I needed to work on a design...the device was still acting up  I snapped, Ami. I went straight to the settings and got to the system update which needed data connection. Started it and stared as the update downloaded...and got installed. "OPTIMIZING YOUR DEVICE...THIS MIGHT TAKE A WHILE" , was the next thing I saw. Then I just ke...

I Just Did Something Crazy

 Yep! I had no idea I was going to do this. It wasn't in my to-do list. The idea just popped into my head and I thought, 'why don't I give it a try?' What I did? I started this post. The thing is, I think a lot and remember little afterwards. Who am I? Let's just say I'm a twenty year old Nigerian and I'm just thinking out loud. If you're reading this, you probably have a lot of thoughts running through your head as well. The same happens to me. This is my very first post and I want to warn you. WARNING! THIS IS NOT A USUAL BLOG! I started this as a crazy idea and I want to keep it that way. UNUSUAL So, if you like to read about experts and gaming and fiction and life, this is probably not for you. Why I say this? Because the coming posts may be about all of none of the topics you read about. They may be grammatically correct but purely nonsensical. They may be short or long or in rant form. I may not even post regularly. One thing I will assure you is t...
