There's no rest for the weekend 🫠
As how 🤲🏼
Please, I rested this week and will rest now 😌
This past Monday. I was in a meeting and told my colleague, who is also my mentee, that I felt like something was feeling off. I knew I needed to find out what it was, so we paused our work and packed up. As we did, I was praying under my breath and asked him to come with me.
We headed straight to my young friend Prince's shop. It was his birthday, and I had promised to see him as a small gift. After we'd celebrated and were walking back, I stopped in my tracks. I suddenly remembered my promise to myself to check my blood pressure, and right there, a pharmacy was in front of us, exactly where we had halted.
We went inside, and I asked the attendant how much it was to get my blood pressure checked. When she said it was just ₦100, we were both surprised 😯 at how cheap it was. I relaxed for about five minutes, and she began the check. When she saw the results, she went silent for a moment before finally telling me what it was: 140/73. To be sure, we went to a different pharmacy and got a new reading of 140/75. My blood pressure was high, which is considered stage two hypertension.
Right there, I took the opportunity to teach my mentee a lesson, correcting his mindset that knowing your blood pressure is only for "big men." Wealth isn't just about having money; some of the most important things in life, like health, are affordable and accessible. The poor in mind and the ignorant are the ones who neglect these simple, yet vital, things.
I will leave some health tips in comment
Well, before I go let me remind you something very important about this season I shared last week. During the 'mber' months, companies try to meet up with deadlines, they rush up projects and all. Here's the good thing- The gig economy grows in this season. If you offer any skilled service, please marry it well.
I am the Brand Alchemist 😊 (someone said 'Brand strategist' though) the voice behind the brands you will remember.
I help brands show up with clarity, confidence, and character.
