7. 3 WAYS TO BEAT THE
HOLIDAY BLUES
TIS' THE SEASON
TO BE SALTY ?
Get Out !
You must remember to stay active.
Exercise can help you ease away the
blues. It is known to be a key element in
fighting depression. Regular exercise
can help ease depression by releasing
feel-good brain chemicals known as
neurotransmitters, endorphins, and
endocannabinoids that may ease
depression.
It’s funny how our body tells us to keep
moving iIn order to not get stuck in a head
space. In order to get over that breakup or
heart ache, keep moving. Our body sends a
signal to help us along. All we need to do is
take the first step. Don’t let life pass you by,
get moving, it will make you feel a whole lot
better. Literally.
Be Optimistic !
What we think eventually becomes who
we are. Out of the abundance of the
heart, the mouth speaks. You don’t want
to be the negative one during the
holidays. People will eventually avoid
your negative vibes. Yes, life is difficult
and you may have had some hurdles in
your way of success.
When it comes to the holiday season, everyone seems to be so
excited. Family and friends come to town to celebrate. From
Thanksgiving to New Years, it appears that tis' the season to be
jolly. However, what happens when your mood matches the
weather ?
No family to come visit, or any family to go see. The season that
is meant to make you feel jolly can leave you hollow and full of
sorrow. I am one who has found this year to be a bit
disheartening. Someone call the Grinch, I think I may be his close
relative .
I just want to crawl up on my couch with a cup of tea and watch
the Holiday Baking Championships on Food Network. That gets
boring fairly quickly to me though. Too much of anything can
bring in the depression flow.
So how do I get over the blues that’s colder than the winter snow?
Here are three easy steps in diminishing your gloom
Cheers to recreating the holidays and moving forward. Now let’s
Deck the halls and have a merry holiday.
Connect with Bertette ! @humble.beast_5
By Bertette Lewis
However, the more you dwell on it, the
more life you bring to it. If you let it die, it
has no power to affect you. I love the sound
of that! I must repeat it again. The longer
you dwell on that negative thing, the more
power you give to it. It now has resurrection
power to take over your life whenever it
pleases. However if you let it die, it has no
power to affect your daily living. Life and
death lies in the power of your tongue.
Think positive, speak positive, and be
positive. It is what will define you.
Set the Temp !
Ever saw someone enter into a room and
they immediately caught your attention? If
they came in negative, did that make you
feel a negative vibe? Now you walking
around upset from what they projected
on you. Have you ever witnessed
someone walk into a room and they were
all cheery and exciting? They immediately
made you light up. Your whole mood
changed, you began to laugh and it set off
this goofy mode in you? Okay, maybe that
is just me.
Family plucking your nerves? Create your
own party after dinner hours. This way
friends will be willing to spend some time
with you after they have eaten dinner
with their families. Movie night with the
ladies on your big comfy couch, recapping
about the day’s events is also a great way
to add laughter to your holiday festivities.
Forget what that ex is doing. Think about
your present and not your past. Send
yourself some flowers to sit on your
beautifully decorated table.

17. 7 Creative Resources for 2017
by Chatoya Antwine
Sometimes as entrepreneurs and creatives we hit roadblocks and our creative juices stop flowing. It is very important to
have a source that inspires you when you experience lack of selfinspiration or when your well runs dry. I have various
sources that I am able to turn to when I need a spark in creativity or when I need help balancing my creative ideas.
So I’ve listed 7 of my favorite creative resources that I am excited to carry forward in 2017.
TED Talks
I am a huge fan of valuable, inspiring, and motivating content. I truly believe that you are what you consume
and I am very mindful of what I let my mind process. Every TED Talk that I have enjoyed watching has
sparked some level of inspiration, motivation, or confirmation for me.
A few of my favorite Ted Talks include Simon Sinek: How Great Leaders Inspire Action, Tony Robbins: Why
We Do What We Do, and Elizabeth Gilbert: Your Elusive Creative Genius.
Fast Company
Fast Company has been one of the best business investments. It is inspiring and leading me to invent a new
wave for entrepreneurs to shift their creative mindset and get to the next level in business. I have gained a
tremendous amount of business knowledge on leadership and technology as well as proven strategies from
thought leaders and leading global corporations.

20. Time for Sugar rehabby Devin Joyner
Ever since I decided to give my life back to Christ and lay down all my addictions for purity, I began to eat. Sugar to
be exact. I traded in sex, men, weed, and excessive shopping just to ruin my face and body. I swear it wasn't my
intention, but now I realize how it was effecting my focus and commitment. It has been proven that how you eat
affects your productivity and creativity.
This of course is ultimately our decision as people, but when something tends to go wrong in life or in business the
release I would usually get from smoking or sex was being replaced with cookies, brownies, and cake. You name it, I
ate it. So I have decided to take back the control! What most would call a diet, fast, or challenge, I am making a
lifestyle. For the rest of the year (except for Thanksgiving and Christmas of course) I am making the daily decision
not to eat trashy foods or dark meat. I want my mind to be clear from clutter and get my body disciplined before the
new year begins.
Although I burn a lot of calories by dancing, when I perspire I want a clean release from my body and not one of
grease and food color red #234. I don’t want my pores so easily clogged. This will also help with the overwhelming
breakouts I’ve been getting. It’s crazy how one small decision of what you eat during the day affects your entire life!
Let's say if I choose oatmeal for breakfast , avocado smoothie for lunch, a banana and yogurt for snack, and fish
tacos for dinner. This will give me the energy I need to fulfill the daily task of school work, emails, choreography, and
work. Versus if I eat pancakes, eggs, and bacon for breakfast. Eating that type of meal makes me sleepy so I can’t
read for school and i’m napping all the way until lunch. Dinner turns into cheese nachos, coffee, and candy. I let a
whole day pass away and my todo list gets pushed back once again. I have to bust my butt the rest of the night
depending on what else gets added to my things to do. This makes me frustrated and more likely to eat a big dinner
with dessert, and a midnight snack that could possibly involve a sugary energy drink.

22. Embark on the Journey
The ClimbBY KAY KING
There’s always gonna be another mountain
I’m always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I’m gonna have to lose
Ain’t about how fast I get there
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb…
-Miley Cyrus
It’s in the climb that you learn how
much strength you have. You learn
about what you can overcome and
how much you can endure. It’s in
this season, I’m learning how strong
I am and what I’m capable of doing.
You never know your strength until
you’re faced with a test.
You learn to persevere. To push
through. No matter what may be
standing in your way, you realize
that there is a David inside of you
and that you too can slay that giant.
You’ll remember that you come
from a lineage of people that faced
adversity but they didn’t give in.
They pressed towards the mark,
they remained determined. And
ultimately, they overcame.
The climb also helps to build your
faith. It removes selfdoubt. It
erases your lack of self confidence.
You see as you continue to climb
you find out that the only limitations
on your life were the ones that you
set. And the higher you climb, the
more limitations you break off your
life.
I mean the view is so much better
from here.
I understand that everyone’s in
hurry to get to the destination
but for me it’s all about the
climb. I’m in the climb of my life
right now and while it may not
be the greatest place to be, it’s
the place I need to be. It’s the
place where God is pruning
me, it’s this moment in my life
where I’m beginning to
discover who God created me
to be.
I just know that I am going to
look back on this season of my
life one day and think to myself
I wouldn’t be the woman I am
today if it wasn’t for what I
learned about myself during
my climbing season.
I know people would rather
rush through this season of
their lives because it’s the less
glamorous part of life but it’s
the part that is most needful. If
we could just arrive at our
destination what would that
mean for our lives? NOTHING.
What would we learn?
NOTHING.
I don’t know what season of your life
that you’re in but for those that are in
the climb, I encourage you to take a
deep breath. Don’t rush through this
season, stick around to see what the
climb will teach you about yourself.
I understand that there may be people
around you that are well into their
journey and you’re looking at them
feeling discouraged. Wondering when
your idea will take off or when your
book will get published. I just want to
remind you that the lyrics of the song
says “ain’t about how fast I get there,
ain’t about what’s waiting on other
side ..”
So, enjoy the climb. Enjoy what’s
happening on your way to the
destination. Trust me if it were all
about the destination, you would’ve
been born into the destination but
God placed you in the journey. He
placed you there to grow you into
your destination.
I hope this encouraged you and I look
forward to hearing all about your
testimonies. This season wasn’t
meant to break you, it was meant to
build you.
