The feeling of not having things under control is nothing but fertile grounds for a chaotic week, a disastrous mind, or even a rough day. As a university student, I have learned this the hard way. Waking up from a four-hour sleep, immediately rushing to join a class and submit my assignment can be quite a task. Thankfully, my life coach and self-help books have thought me a few lessons on how to command my morning by putting things into place.

Commanding your morning can be simple, all you need to do is just a few things to get yourself together and be ready for a fresh day. What I normally do to start my morning is quite simple, I get up at 7:00 Am because I have the Christian faith I pray most days o begin my morning then I read my morning devotional.

After praying and reading, I generally get out of bed, drink a glass of water to activate my system. Now I know most Jamaican drink tea first thing in the morning, I thought it was strange until I tried drinking water before tea with breakfast, however, I've seen the results and health benefits of drinking the water after getting out of bed. 

Next on my wake-up to-do list is my morning affirmations. Affirmations have recently become trending and have been practiced by more and more people. You can create your own affirmations are you can use the internet to find some that suit you. affirmations are necessary because they help with confidence, mental heal, and a focused mindset to achieve your goals. 

Commanding your morning/ day is not only what you do in the morning but, it does involve preparation from the previous day. In my case, I write a to-do list for the day ahead from the previous night. This helps me to keep in mind everything that I need to get done for the day. This will give me control over my day and activities which guides my progress towards my goals. 


Evaluate yourself at the end of your day to see your progress, if no progress was made, if you didn't achieve your goals, if you didn't follow through with your to-do list always remember that tomorrow is another day to start over, and do your best again.

Creating The Best You

 You are Creators  By Jason Grant The flowers of the garden are so graceful, they know their time and season.  A time to light up and blossom colorfully into a beautiful flower, emanating sweet fragrances, and then a season to whither with dried brown leaves and return to the earth. Some human beings are completely different from the flowers of the garden. We find it hard to transition into our next season especially if we're in a season of stagnation, prosperity may seem far fetched. This fear of transition is completely natural because you're leaving a place of familiarity to a new setting. It is said that our comfort zone might be hard to leave because of complacency. When you become complacent you are planted and you see growth or development as a hard task. On December 31, 2015, I decided that I wanted something different for 2016, I decided that who I was in that moment wasn't all that I could so I decided to start my journey to self-development in that year.

How To Plan For Your Year

By Jason Grant  Planning Ahead  Some days I sit high in a cloud, surrounded by all my thoughts, ranging from short-term plans to long-term goals and of course, the bad ideas that constantly attempt to worm their way into the good ones.  Well, hello there!  What's going on in that powerful, beautiful, majestic mind of yours? feeling indecisive? lost? or helpless?  My dear one, you are not alone. Have no fear because all the answers are deeply rooted within  you or you just might need to find new inspiration and motivation to build your drive and focus on achieving all that you desire. This is what I found out just from watching motivational YouTube videos and listening to and reading audio books that are geared towards self-help and development. It is no secret that the enemy within us will oftentimes try to convince us that we are incapable of achieving our goals. I am here to tell you that you should just take the risk, give it your all, and make your plans a reality.  This is the

How to make a team work!

                                                             By: Jason Grant Working with a team can be quite an experience, but working with the right team will help you to be more open when working with others. Teams have a tendency to work well when there is no personality clash. Grouping a set of people together may not always be ideal, just because some people tend to cause ruption. People always have a hard time determining the leader of a group, this is because of the same problem "Personality" it varies from one to the next and even though a leadership will be assigned group members can share in leadership roles, this is how teams play. Creating teamness does not only fall on the shoulders of the leader, as teammates form part of the group. They can create some form of friendship while working together. In everything that we do, there must be some form of plan to execute and do it rightfully. The process where members of the group get to know each
