@AFROBLOGGERS #AFROBLOGGERS
I would cringe when wondering of how people were able to be a part of more than one social media platform. In my mind, I would always pray for their mental and emotional health, telling God to forgive them for they know not what they are doing. I was a very content facebooker and WhatsApper which even felt like an over indulgence, like that Sunday morning brunch that renders you cheat guilty after the weekend is over. Basically phoning around equalled some sort of crime.
Health experts have always had very scripted modes of operation that attempt to keep the society healthier for longer, having anything on the other side of these, was taken as vague and quite unprofessional. Here then comes yours truly!, nutritionist and wellness enthusiast making a go at teaching why avocadoes are indispensable, spinach can and should be eaten both cooked and raw, nuts and seeds are nature's beauty secret. Great message right, only hurdle was, mine, was a hard target type of audience and you bet, I had hundreds of misfires. Conventional wasn't cutting it.
The career was aching with a need for change. On the path far from the usual, I decided to tread. I became the over indulger, that phoner, that person whose mental and emotional okayness, I used to pray for. Two years down that road, the choice to get the rewards of moving past the comfort zone are emerging. Conversations of health and eating better and wellness have been ignited in a community that only meets albeit virtually. Wellness met with creativity and convenience because of technology and it's advancements which I believe if used appropriately, can cause global change without even moving as much as a toe.
Good can come out of even the worst, you know! Technology is the now and it has an even bigger throne in the future. You could really use it.
