Letting it go, enhance lifestyle

✨"I always enjoy logically explaining things. I used to feel that it's my responsibility to make things correct if there is something wrong. Even if my tension was good, I think everyone is not ready to understand it. Or it can be said that some people refuse to understand all the time, and it doesn't matter how much I try to make them understand." @intishar

Adapting to the season

✨"There’s currently a longer-night and shorter-day experience here, and this gives me more time to rest at night. I love it, honestly. Since I work on my own (not employed), whenever night comes, I close for the day and return home with no pressure at all. I don’t force myself to meet up with stressful targets. Although I get very serious during the short daytime, once it’s nearing 5 p.m., I just know it’s time to return home to rest because by then, the day has already started grooming darkness." @kingsleyy

The Season of Dust, Chill, and Pure Comfort

✨"This is December, and I am already feeling the dryness and dusty areas because it’s harmattan season. What makes it even more interesting for me is that, even though it’s always hot during the day, I enjoy the cooler nights. And guess what? It still won't stop me from turning on the fan, sleeping naked and enjoying the intense breeze around me." @princessbusayo

Adjusting for the Coming Season!

✨"Every new season brings with it a spirit of newness. It's always so thrilling when the first rain of the season falls. We celebrate it here, like it's a wonder of the world. I believe it is. We obviously anticipate that the present season will eventually come to an end, and a new season will replace it." @zitalove

When the season surprises.

✨"I usually do not go out except it is important, but right now is the time I need to take that seriously to avoid having to dress up all the time. At home, I can wear comfortable outfits that would allow my body to feel the natural breeze, feel more relaxed, reduce sweating, and use the shower as many times as I need to." @storygoddess

Times of Red, White and Green

✨"Anxiety has been one of my traits I’ve been working hard on. For everything that hasn’t happened yet, my mind starts running helter-skelter, wondering how that thing was going to work. I worry about every little detail, wanting to make sure the future comes out perfectly. I keep stressing, thinking about how to make possibilities perfect. Forgetting that possibilities aren’t static, and there is no guarantee of perfection." @oluchi31

The spirit that reigns these days

✨"Since children are the stars of the show on this night, we buy them toys, clothes, or sweets. Seeing how every year, from early on, children begin to parade through the house with hope and expectation of a gift fills us with emotion because it shows that just as it is a custom for us to give, for them it is a custom to receive gifts from our family every year." @nancybriti1

In Tune with the Days of the Season

✨"The season comes with a lot of changes, so I also make small adjustments in my life to flow with it. Harmattan has a way of making people feel lazy and tired, even early in the morning. To avoid that, I made it a routine to exercise my body in the evening before bed and go out around 5 a.m. for a walk and a stretch. That little activity activates my mood and prepares me for the harsh dryness and heat that will show up in the afternoon." @phyna

Three things I've been letting go of

✨"The first habit I consciously decided to implement this year was not to allow my mind to wander to those bad experiences. Honestly, the result was always the same: I ended up sad, crying, or even experiencing physical discomfort. Which, obviously, does not help at all, and that is exactly what I think about every time one of these thoughts arises. Although it is sometimes difficult to control them, remembering that they only come to hurt me and that they serve no purpose helps me force myself to think about other things." @jemima1996
