Thus working remotely have its benefits but one need  creative thinking and self-discipline to develop healthy habits important for both your physical and mental health. TBN has interviewed eight people working from home to tell us how to stay healthy and remain active even when working from home.

Diana

I work from home four days days a week and it’s a blessing. To stay active and stay healthy, I make sure I hit the gym in the morning before work. I also drink lots of water, stand up and walk around for a bit once an hour and eat a healthy balanced diet through meal prep.

Tiara

I aim to weightlift 3-4 times a week, run 1-2 times per week at 1-3 miles at a time and take supplements everyday (or at least every day that I remember). The supplements include fish oil for skin health, ashwaghanda for sleep, magnesium for sleep and muscle recovery, a women’s immunity booster multivitamin, vitamin D, and DIM for estrogen regulation. For my active hobbies, I kayak any Saturday I can and try to hike when I can as well.

Daniel

Working remotely makes sense to me considering that I work outside Nigeria. To stay healthy, I do spin class, yoga and step aerobics, etc. I find it better to do something that doesn’t feel like work but keeps you moving. I also go dancing with friends every Friday night – yielding an average of 16k steps. I prepare most of my own food and eat very little processed or fast food and consume very little sugar.

Ifeanyi

I work from home full time. Here’s some tips I use to stay healthy. I ensure that I hit the gym before or after work, do stretch/yoga for 5-20 minutes before my shift as well as walk on a break/lunch for 10 or more minutes. I also make sure that my setup is ergonomic, I do daily meditation  and getting fresh air before and in between shift possible.

Cynthia

My healthy tips for working remotely, is setting up a timer to take short breaks every hour. I stand up, stretch, or walk around and I add a few minutes of home workouts to my day, eat a balanced diet to keep my  energy up. And I hit the gym when I can.

Valentine

Right now, I walk for 30 to 45 minutes on my balcony under the sunlight to get some free vitamin D every day. I also try to do 10 push-ups and 50-count power yoga as slowly as possible. Recently, I started cycling for an hour or two on Saturdays and Sundays. I keep my remote work routine balanced by being very intentional about limiting my screen time.

Amaka

I take breaks during which I hydrate, do some light exercises, or simply stand up and move around. This habit also boosted my overall productivity and well-being. I also use the treadmill and walk 1 hour in the morning after breakfast and one hour in the afternoon after lunch. I drink water continuously all day in between meals, and when I’m not walking I sit in a meditation chair.

Sarah

I do yoga, arms, abs and I have a well-rounded workout during weekend so I have a body I  can use for your whole life and use to do the things I want. I eat as much fruits/veggies as I can and try to eat less sodium and processed crap. I skip soda and carbonated beverages and opt for water.  I also get lots of sleep.

TBN believes that human beings are all products of our habits so we asked 7 people to tell us their small habits that make life better for them. These daily routines, the tiny things we do and the choices people make everyday shape who we are and how our life is.

Not only that, these habits are not just preparing us for a future, but they determine how we become, whether healthy, sick, fulfilled, or frustrated. Therefore, it is important to be conscious of them because  they are a roadmap to success, fulfilment, and happiness.

TBN understand how strategic small habits are towards navigating people towards becoming a better version of themselves. These small habits that make life better are so transformative and some people have already lived it. Heres what they have to say.

Cynthia

I am in my early thirties and single so I like to  sleep with a lot of pillows, and stuffed animals. I make sure to listen to music every morning while I get ready to work. At night I light a candle and I read like I have someone lying on the floor. My plan is to adopt more of these little habits, that help romanticise life.

Chijioke

My small habits that make life better include lying down in a heated blanket over sofa and cup of coffee, staring out my window on my days off work. I also have a heated mattress pad that I sink into it at night.  It relaxes my muscles so much. I also take walks and prioritise hanging out with friends.

Dominic

I started doing this intuitively. I don’t turn on my big lights when I feel emotionally or mentally exhausted. My body kind of lets me know. I get too overwhelmed even at the thought of big bright light, so smaller warmer ones, or no lights at all makes it better sensory wise and sometimes it even gives me comfort.

Tessa

My small habits that make life better include journaling and reflecting. I love to journal about my thoughts! i have a separate journal for my everyday life and the things im struggling with lately. i just started it but it is making me start to think more about my thoughts clearly. Writing 5 things I’m thankful about in the morning helps me start the morning with a positive outlook!

Daniel

I got a membership to my local swimming pool and I am building muscle from swimming. It is also amazing to sit in the hot tub or steam room to relax before bed. I also try to cut down on social media (aside from Reddit), and not listening to sad songs. I’ve found that both augment my negative thoughts and enable me to spiral, so l cut those things out.

Amaka

My small habits that make life better are related to being in an organised environment. I make my bed every morning. Even if I have a shit day and i come home to a made bed i let out a sigh of relief. It’s probably the most important thing I do for myself next to working out. Little cleaning tasks in my room also help.

John

I picked up reading again as kind of a new year resolution (just wanted to start a new hobby to lower my screen time) and so far l’ve read 7 books this year. I absolutely love it and found a new way to escape into other worlds. I do this before bed instead of watching TV and even though I do occasionally flip on the TV after reading.

Depression has become so rampant that its almost on everyone’s mind to find tips how to beat depression. Particularly because, its not something you force yourself to “snap out of it.” Often times when someone are depressed,  people around often think its easier to get in and out from forgetting that it is a gradual process.

One of the key ways  to deal with depression and be on the road to recovery is acknowledge your state of mind and find out why you are the way you are. However, other things such as building a healthy lifestyle by regularly exercising, eating a balanced diet, getting sufficient sleep, and social connection can help.

Another important tip on how to beat depression is to seek professional help via therapy. In all getting out of depression should not cause too many headaches considering that TBN has conducted an interview with six people. These people have detailed tips that worked as they beat depression.

Ade: One thing that helped me beat depression is basking in the sunlight and continuous movement. Sunlight and movement helped a lot but one need to start as small as you need to while being kind to yourself. Writing has also helped me as well as other habits such as getting out of bed, showering, putting on clean clothes even if it’s still pajamas and sitting out in the sun.

Cynthia: One of the thing that helped me is focusing on small, manageable steps and reminding myself that “this too shall pass”. My how to beat depression tip focuses more on tiny changes, like getting outside or doing something creative. Though small, these things can sometimes help break the cycle.

Hillary: When I was depressed I focus more on going outside most days even for a short while and I believe, it yields the biggest improvement. I have found  walking in particular to have a stack of benefits. Other things that helped are getting on a regular sleeping schedule and getting quality sleep. Both has a huge impact on how you feel and function.

Regina: For me depression doesn’t have just happen and you can’t focus on how to beat depression when you haven’t figured out why you are depressed. I believe it is important to address psychological root causes with a therapist and do inner work. And then also address the externalities that trigger the episode. Depression is a signal that something in your life is really not working to the point where the person’s life is affected.

Damson: For me, it’s a suggestion that I unfortunately don’t follow enough which is WALK. Get outside if you can and just go for a walk. Do so mindfully. Notice the trees, listen to your footsteps, feel whatever temperature you’re feeling. Nature is beautiful and so walking outside is cool. You can also walk on the treadmill. However, make sure to go for nice, chill, strolls because they are amazing and good for mental health.

Cassandra: I have found out that going to the gym regularly has certainly helped with dopamine boosts. It is like drugs but better and healthier. And so a refreshing one-hour of gym at least three times a week workout will help you get ahead of depression.

Confidence in a man is the most seductive and magnetic thing. And that is because most women value and appreciate men who have their sense of worth, self-assuredness and self-esteem. There are things confident men do in relationships that tell women that they can trust the man in question to lead.

Like it or not, most women prefer men who can rise to the occasion, tackle challenges with ease and lead naturally. Rather than a simp who is easily swayed, breaks his boundaries and is never firm in his decision-making. Thus, a man must develop confidence as a trait to foster relationships whether platonic or romantic.

To help our male readers, TBN has curated five things confident men do in relationships to attract and keep a woman. These are not only tied to relationships but life as well because confidence can transform one’s life, help one break free from self-doubt, and embrace a future filled with success and fulfilment. They include;

Disrespect: A confident man will demand mutual respect in all interactions. This means you can disagree with them but you must be polite while doing so. They would never tolerate being spoken to rudely, dismissed, or belittled. To confident men, being respectful is a baseline, not a bonus and if you can’t can’t meet it, that means they will cut you off.

Inconsistent behaviour: In modern dating, push and pull,  hot and cold behaviour, mixed signals, or flakiness have become the order of the day. One of the things confident men do in relationships is to not waste their energy trying to decode someone’s intentions. They value consistency and clarity and if you can’t provide it, they opt to move on instead.

Manipulation or games: Confident men has no energy for manipulation or games in relationships. They shun all guilt-tripping, emotional manipulation, or passive-aggressiveness and they have no time to engage in such. They value straightforward communication over hidden agendas.

Lack of accountability: One of the things confident men do in relationships is to avoid women who avoid taking responsibility for their actions. If you are constantly making excuses and blaming others for your actions, confident men won’t engage. A confident man will expect accountability and personal growth in their relationships and won’t settle for less.

Draining negativity: Finally, if you are prone to constant complaining, a victim mentality, or unnecessary drama, a confident man will not put up with such. Confident men surround themselves with uplifting, positive energy. If someone is consistently draining, they protect their peace by walking away.

It is a new year! Part of your goal for the year is to channel some efforts towards self-improvement. Now this can feel and seem difficult and overwhelming but wanting to grow, to become better means you will be willing to sacrifice your time and comfort.

Some people have understood that the journey towards betterment is not a quick fix, it is a consistent series of activities designed to become a better version of oneself. While it’s a personal journey, TBN has interviewed several people who have gone through that to give our readers pointers on how to get better.

These pointers are not the ultimate, rather they are activities that have been tested and trusted by people for their self-improvement goals. Keep scrolling to see how to get started towards becoming who you are meant to be, a fulfilled and motivated person.

Tola

One of the things I did was meditation. I’d like to sit still with soft music every morning for 30 minutes focusing on myself and the aspects of me, I want to change. I take stock of the things I want to work on and make mental assessments on how to be better. It helped me grow so much and mature in general.

Collins

I worked on my self-improvement by identifying my pattern and learning about attachment theory, which prompted me to go to therapy. I understand that knowing about the issues I feel and have was not enough to heal and make me feel better. So I made an effort and time to be better.

Damon

One of the things I did wrong was assuming the journey would be linear. And so oftentimes, I thought I was falling back to old patterns because I was angrier, less tolerant, more sensitive to people’s problematic qualities, lonely and impatient etc. Now, I’m learning to accept that it’s part of the journey and I’m seeing people for who they are, rather than projecting my expectations and that can be difficult, incredibly disappointing and painful, and comes with loss.

Ruthie

For me, self-improvement is when I decided to get into shape. So I started going to the gym and it’s the best thing ever. It freed up my mind from all the bullshit, and the fact that I did something for my physical improvement makes me feel awesome afterwards. It is nice to see changes in my physique it makes me feel better.

Johnson

My journey first involved isolation, doing all of it at once and caring what others think but that didn’t work at al. Now, I am focusing on getting more sleep, eating healthier, staying active at the gym, taking medication, seeking professional support, staying socially connected, staying busy, and less time spent doomscrolling.

Damson

My journey towards self-improvement invokes having boundaries and being in tune with my intuition. The worst thing to do however is forgiving people and thinking still choosing to be close to them. It’s not good for you at all. Sometimes it is best to move on and take the time to heal and love yourself even more.

To be valued by others, you must show that you value yourself. Therefore, you must build self-respect for yourself to change how people interact and relate with you. TBN has learned some good lessons about self-respect over this year and has curated a few tips for our readers.

TBN believes that one way to build self-respect is to not force yourself into where you’re not wanted. Don’t let the fear of being alone keep you in a place where you will be mocked because you want to belong. Another tip is to not be too desperate whilst befriending someone. As soon you notice, that the person don’t match your energy, withdraw.

A third point is whining about bad habits but doing nothing to fix them. You must make a concerted effort to fix any habit you believe is a challenge. TBN does not know it all, therefore, we asked 6 people things they have learnt and do to build their self-respect. Here are their insightful answers

Henry

For me, I learned to stop explaining myself more than twice unless it’s necessary. Most people try to act wild to get a reaction out of you. If they didn’t understand the weight of the words I spoke or the boundaries I tried to maintain twice, then I didn’t try again. I distance myself from them.

Johnson

I believe it’s key to not let nobody “trick you out of your position.” Hold on to your integrity by any means necessary and don’t forget the standards you uphold as a person. Also, don’t let your emotions control who you are and/or who you’re trying to grow into.

Daniela

One thing I do to build self-respect is purely focusing on myself. I take care of my body and mind by giving them what they need to keep me going. I take vitamins, exercise for longevity (somatics, yoga, taichi), meditation, reading, and cultivating relationships. I respect my environment by organizing and cleaning them.  I also respect others and their space by treating others with the same level of respect I  give myself and providing space for people who are not at the same level.

Jamil

I have a compassionate, rather than self-critical, inner voice that allows me to learn from my mistakes and participate in self-improvement rather than shame and despair. I also keep making decisions to move myself forward and meet the challenges life puts in front of me. I don’t operate from a place of low self-confidence and shame.

Frank

I build self-respect for myself by not putting up with things I don’t like and sharing my opinions as much as others do. Everything stems from there.  I have boundaries and a deep internal feeling that I deserve respect and equal treatment in all situations. In any situation that doesn’t suit my inner sense of dignity, I leave.

Derrick

I always have clarity on my wants and needs at any time. I also make choices to honour that.  I focus inward thinking about the actions/ thoughts/emotions I control in any situation. I recognize that we are our world, but we are not the world for others. Therefore I don’t expect someone else to behave/think/feel about me in ways I want them to. This is also respecting that, which is outside of us

TBN understands that men and women have different dating expectations. They experience dating differently, their intentions are different, the way they interact is different and the way they show interest is different, etc.  However, it is important for single women it enter the dating field more aware of what they want.

That way, you can be able to filter out what you don’t want to avoid wasting time or coupling up with the wrong man. So we asked 8 single women, what their dating expectations are when they meet someone. What is the experience you have in mind that you would like to happen?

Cynthia

I want my potential partners to at least match my basic lifestyle. I have a job, and l expect my date to have a job. I exercise, and I expect my date to exercise too. I am good with my finances, I expect my date to be financially stable too. Basic things like that.

Peace

I don’t think I have any dating expectations anymore. I’m tired of my body being used. It’s a long form of coercion in my experience. I wish I could just be friends with someone for a good long while first then move into a relationship. I’d feel safer that way.

Jemima

For me it’s peace. If I feel peace, then I am good to go. I expect not to be rushed and for everyone to give their best.  I’d like for him to be his true self no matter how hard it is. It saves me the stress of waiting for 2 years before finding out the real him. I will also expect to see him trying to see if most of our values match.

Chelsea

I do have dating expectations that may not seem like a big deal but it’s a big deal. Ultimately I’m looking for someone who feels safe, that I can trust to stay, someone who can grow and go through life with. How much money you have in your bank account is not my concern. How tall you are is not important. All I care about is if you’re willing to keep growing and moving forward in life and not feel stagnant or stuck in the past.

Nancy

When it comes to dating expectations that l have now I would say Consistency/Authenticity. I want someone who can show up mentally, physically, and emotionally. It means I can rely on and trust that you are the person and human you say you are. I want someone passionate. Show me that you can be excited about things!   And finally Emotional Intelligence and Respect. I understand that everyone is wired a little differently but the differences help us learn grow and expand ourselves. I want someone kind and empathetic,  healed and resisting the urge to project onto others.

Thelma

I don’t need much. I just want a good man who can make me laugh, strives to be a good person and make others smile, hopefully also in education or some sort of path towards a good paying career, is in touch with his emotions and wants us to grow together as people.

Favour

My dating expectations is someone who matches me and my values and is interested in me. I want someone with basic respect, good humour, good communication, a loving relationship, putting in effort, etc. But like since I’m happily single, I won’t settle for anyone who shows a sliver of disrespect or bad communication skills. Like I would warn them at first cuz it could be a mistake, but the second time is a choice.

Olivia

I want someone I’m comfortable with and feel safe enough. Someone who genuinely wants to get to know me and figure things out together. He doesn’t need to earn much but he should be comfortable.

It’s that time of the year when families gather together to give thanks and generally spend time with their loved ones. And it does not have to be boring. There are several Thanksgiving activities families can engage in to make this time of the year special and also create lasting memories around the dinner table.

Thanksgiving Day is a day families gather together to give thanks and it is celebrated every fourth Thursday in November. The date was chosen in 1941 by the US Congress and a proclamation issued by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1942. This year, the auspicious day fell on November, 28th.

To make it more special and meaningful apart from gathering around the table, families can do these Thanksgiving activities to bring joy, fun and entertainment as well as use the opportunity to prepare for the last celebration which is Christmas Day.  That said, here is a list of things to do on a special day

Play Thanksgiving games: After the family has eaten and relaxed, some games can increase bonding and fun time among family members. Thanksgiving games provide an opportunity to know what is going on in each other’s lives. Members can talk about what they are most grateful for and the key highlights of the year for them. Games like Mad-libs, scavenger hunts, pictionary, or going out to watch NFL games can also work.

Make a Thanksgiving video: One of the major Thanksgiving activities families must not omit this year is making videos. Instead of just taking pictures, families should make a live video talking about the things they are grateful for and the activities of the day. This creates lasting memories especially when everyone is usually home for the occasion. You can rewatch these videos the next year to mark growth and milestones.

Take a road trip: Thanksgiving Day must not be celebrated at home. It can be an opportunity to take the family bonding process seriously. Families can take a road trip using the opportunity to see new things, bond and generally connect with nature. However, ensure that where your family is going is safe and fun at the same time.

Make care packages and volunteer: As you celebrate with your family, it is important to remember the less privileged. One of the Thanksgiving activities to include these people in your celebration is to make care package for them. It can be filled with things they would need like food, snacks, and winter outfits. Families can also cook large meals and share them with the nearest shelter or volunteer in these homes.

Share Thanksgiving memories: Thanksgiving days are usually eventful and as such create an atmosphere of ruckus, chaos and sometimes disagreements. This year, families should spend time talking out the events of the previous year to settle any quarrels and to remember the good times.

Make a holiday shopping list: Finally, Thanksgiving activities should also incorporate plans for Christmas Day and holidays. It is the the time of year when shopping is always in full swing, therefore, families should take the time to plan what they will need in the holidays, plan gifts and the promos they need to take advantage of.
