Sometimes You Need to Just Breathe
Posted under: We live in such a fast world. If you’re moving too slow you’ll miss out on everything..literally. There’s constant news from all over the world, a million different things going on in sports, new shows popping up and ending. New artists and music, new sayings, trends, fashion you name it, there is something new happening right now! It can be extremely overwhelming to try and keep up with it all because on top of that WE have to grind and hustle hustle HARD or else nothing will come to you, all opportunities will pass you by for the next guy who’s running faster than you! But on top of that on top of that is our new obsession with YOLO! We only live once right? So let’s make the best of it which sadly means for most people to just play really really hard!
So if we were to truly be keeping a float with everything that’s going on, we’re supposed to be caught up with all media/social and news networks to the minute, going after our dreams and pursuing our careers with reckless abandon and then also doing whatever we want since we only live once which includes eating a dozen doughnuts and then going skydiving since I’ve been drinking coconut ciroc all day (yolo!) It’s CRAZY!! Sometimes the thought of all of this makes my head want to explode and I just want to turn off everything. Like really turn it off, not worry or care, or check or refresh any pages.
We all just need moments to breathe. Take a walk and not worry, recoup your energy and reboot your creative juices. This generation has forgotten what it’s like to just hang out with your friends or even by yourself outside some where and not text, tweet, or instagram whatever you’re doing and who you’re with. Myself included in that bunch, I can admit I’m sadly addicted to my phone and social media and my brain does not turn off because I’m constantly checking, updating, brainstorming and worrying about the next thing.
But this way of living is not healthy. I think it’s progressive but I actually think it makes me stagnant and I was better off when I checked my email every other day instead of every hour. At the end of the day though this is my business, this is my career and this is my life now but I think now a little breather and shutting down every once in awhile is very much in order not only for me but for everyone so that we learn how to relax and connect again.
Come off the grid for a day or two and just breathe.

Work it!
In the words of Soul II Soul; Back to life back to reality..I’m elated at the fact that I am not the only person that conjures up these thoughts and lives out these actions. I am completely guilty of checking if the individual I tweeted responded to my tweet, from minute to minute checking to see if my text messages through out the day were answered..The only thing I can’t say I’m guilty of is saying I’ve tried to keep up with the latest trends, news, music etc. In the words of that one Above the Influence commercial; “When a new trend is just beginning I’m just ending mine” or something to that extent, the underrated fact which enables me to be sane is that I woke up this morning functioning the same way I did yesterday.
The words, in which they were written, reflect your emotion. Haa… As an artist, it’s good to relax. I usually try to relax by focusing on another artist that has inspired me… Or a certain genre.. If ever I get “tired of myself” and where my art is headed… I’ll stop checking my status with things and focus on what inspiration gets me to the point of creation. For instance, the last day I was “off” from work, I did nothing but focus on Janet Jackson stuff… Her youtube videos, her discography, etc.. Then I felt inspired again to get back into my work. That day it was Janet…the next could be old Nickelodeon shows on YouTube.. who the hell knows?? It’s great to take a break and escape, as long as we (as artists) escape through some sort of inspiration. And vitamins are very important to take every morning w/ breakfast…changed my life. Just thought I’d throw that out there.
