Adjusting to Life’s Flow – Making the Most of Extra Demands

Posted on by Know Better Be Better w/Your 2nd Chance to Advance

Adding More to Your Plate? Here’s How to Keep Moving Forward with Ease

Some days, we have more on our plate than usual. It’s not necessarily unexpected—sometimes it’s planned, sometimes it’s a step toward growth, and sometimes it’s just life moving forward as it should. But whenever we add something new to our daily routine, it requires extra time, energy, and adjustments.

That’s where the key lies—adjusting, not resisting. A full plate doesn’t have to feel overwhelming if we approach it with intention, flexibility, and a positive mindset.

Step 1: Recognize the Shift Without Resisting It

Adding new responsibilities—whether temporary or permanent—doesn’t mean stress has to follow. Instead of seeing it as a disruption, see it as an adjustment to your flow. The more we align with what needs to be done, the smoother the transition will be.

Step 2: Prioritize and Pace Yourself

A full schedule isn’t a problem—it’s how we handle it that matters. Instead of rushing through everything, try: ☑️Breaking tasks into manageable steps. Small progress adds up!
☑️ Giving yourself grace. If things shift, that’s okay—delayed is not denied.
☑️ Remembering why you’re doing this. Every step forward is leading somewhere.

Step 3: Protect Your Energy & Keep Perspective

Just because you’re adding more doesn’t mean you should run yourself into the ground. Here’s how to keep balance: 🌟 Schedule small breaks – Recharging keeps you going longer.
🌟 Stay flexible – Adjust, pivot, and move with the day instead of against it.
🌟 Find the joy in the process – When we appreciate each moment, even busy days feel lighter.

Step 4: Set Yourself Up for a Smooth Hump Day

If today feels like a marathon, take comfort in knowing that what you accomplish now makes tomorrow easier. Let’s aim for a Hump Day that doesn’t require extra “humping” to catch up. 😆🐪 Balance today so you can flow into the rest of the week with ease.

Step 5: Celebrate Progress, Not Perfection

Even if everything isn’t checked off the list, acknowledge what you have done. Progress is progress, and what doesn’t get done today can be completed in due time. Nothing is denied—it’s just delayed. 💛

💡 Challenge for Today: Drop a 🐪 in the comments if you’re pacing yourself and setting yourself up for a strong, steady week—no extra “humping” needed on Hump Day! 😆💛

Flowing Into Monday With A Fresh Start Mindset

Posted on by Know Better Be Better w/Your 2nd Chance to Advance

Go With the Flow, Not Against It

Monday doesn’t have to be a struggle. Instead of seeing it as the end of the weekend, what if we saw it as the beginning of new possibilities? A fresh start. A clean slate. A new opportunity to move forward with positivity, grace, and intention.

Go With the Flow, Not Against It

Too often, Mondays come with resistance—the urge to fight the day instead of embracing it. But what if we let go of that? What if we chose to flow through the day instead of pushing against it? When we accept the rhythm of the day and focus on what we can control, we create space for a more fulfilling and productive experience.

Don’t Let Obstacles Steal Your Joy

Even on the best days, challenges can arise. Someone’s attitude, unexpected delays, or little inconveniences might try to throw you off. But here’s the key: we get to choose how we respond.

🌟 A bad moment doesn’t have to become a bad day. 🌟 Not everything deserves your energy. 🌟 Peace is more valuable than engaging in negativity.

If something or someone tries to disrupt your peace today, take a breath and remind yourself: “This moment does not define my day.”

Starting the Week With Strength & Positivity

Mondays are a chance to reset, refocus, and realign with what matters most. Don’t let outside distractions dictate your mindset. Instead, carry the energy of new opportunities, fresh perspectives, and a mindset that allows you to move with ease and confidence.

💡 Challenge for Today: Stay in control of your energy. When something challenges your peace, pause, take a deep breath, and remind yourself that you are in charge of your day. 💛

A New Day, A New Opportunity

Embracing the Power of a Fresh Start

Every sunrise brings new energy, new hope, and new opportunities. No matter how yesterday felt—today is another chance to reset, refocus, and move forward.

Sometimes, mornings don’t start as we’d like. We wake up feeling drained, overwhelmed, or stuck in yesterday’s worries. But here’s the truth: we have the power to shift our focus. Instead of dwelling on what’s not going right, we can choose to find one positive thing, no matter how big or small, to redirect our emotional energy.

Managing What We Can Control

Life is full of things outside of our control, but peace comes when we focus on what we can change rather than what we can’t. Today, ask yourself: 🌿 What is one thing I can do to create a sense of peace in my day?


🌸 How can I set the tone for a beautiful, stress-free week? ☀️ What small step can I take to embrace new opportunities?

By choosing our mindset, our actions, and our responses, we set the foundation for a positive and productive week ahead.

Stepping into a Beautiful Week

Let today be your first step into a week filled with peace, growth, and intention. If something tries to throw you off, pause, breathe, and realign with what matters.

💡 Challenge for Today: Find one positive thing to focus on and let that energy guide you forward. Drop a 🌿 in the comments if you’re ready to embrace this new day with renewed energy! 💛

Prioritizing Self-Care While Managing Life & Business

Posted on by Know Better Be Better w/Your 2nd Chance to Advance

Life doesn’t stop when we’re feeling under the weather, but that doesn’t mean we should push ourselves beyond our limits. In moments like these, balance is key, knowing when to rest and when to tackle responsibilities in a way that doesn’t drain us further.

Lately, I’ve been under the weather, and while I always have a list of things I want to accomplish, I’ve had to remind myself that my well-being comes first. Today, I want to share some practical strategies to help prioritize self-care while keeping up with personal and business tasks.

1️.  Listen to Your Body & Adjust Expectations

We often feel pressure to push through illness to keep up with commitments, but productivity should never come at the expense of our health when we’re not feeling our best:

  • Acknowledge what your body needs—rest, hydration, nourishment.
  • Adjust your expectations—some tasks can wait, and that’s okay.
  • Prioritize essential tasks only—what absolutely must get done today?

2️.  Work Smarter, Not Harder

Instead of trying to power through, restructure your day to work in a way that’s gentle on your energy levels:

  • Bunch small tasks together to conserve mental focus.
  • Utilize technology—automate, delegate, or reschedule where possible.
  • Take breaks between tasks to avoid burnout.

3️.  Self-Care is Not a Luxury—It’s a Necessity

When you’re sick, self-care isn’t optional. It’s how you speed up recovery while still handling business responsibly. Make time for:

  • Proper hydration & nutrition—your body needs fuel to heal.
  • Short movement breaks—gentle stretching or deep breathing.
  • Mental rest—even 10 minutes of quiet time helps recharge you.

4️.  Adjusting to the Time Change 🌙⏳

With Daylight Savings Time starting tomorrow, our bodies may need a little help adjusting. Here are some quick tips:

  • Start adjusting tonight—go to bed 30-45 minutes earlier.
  • Get natural light in the morning—sunlight helps reset your internal clock.
  • Limit caffeine & screens before bed—they interfere with sleep quality.

Final Reminder: Give Yourself Grace

If you’re not at 100%, that’s okay. Progress isn’t about perfection—it’s about doing what you can while taking care of yourself. Health comes first, always. So, if you need to rest, reschedule, or slow down and do it without guilt. 💛

Finding Joy in the Small Things – Gratitude, Growth & Lighthearted Moments

Posted on by Know Better Be Better w/Your 2nd Chance to Advance

Yesterday, I had a series of conversations that reminded me just how much gratitude, growth, and lighthearted joy can shape our lives. Sometimes, we get so focused on the big milestones that we forget to celebrate the small wins, the lessons learned, and the simple joys that make life meaningful.

Gratitude: The Power of a Thankful Heart

It’s easy to get caught up in what’s missing, what’s undone, or what didn’t go as planned. But when we pause to appreciate what is going right, something shifts. A grateful heart sees opportunities instead of obstacles, beauty instead of burdens, and blessings instead of lack. Today, let’s take a moment to reflect—what’s one thing you’re grateful for right now? 💛

Growth: Trusting the Process

Growth doesn’t always look like a big breakthrough. Sometimes, it’s the small steps, the quiet progress, and the lessons learned along the way that shape us the most. How many times have you looked back and realized just how much you’ve changed without even noticing? Just like a butterfly doesn’t rush its transformation, neither should we. 🌱🦋

Joy: Finding Lighthearted Moments in Everyday Life

Sometimes, the best thing we can do is laugh, smile, and enjoy the moment—even in the midst of chaos. Joy doesn’t have to wait for the perfect conditions. It’s in the random jokes, the unexpected kindness, and the little things that make us smile.

So today, let’s celebrate: ✨ Something we’re grateful for. 🌱 A moment of personal growth. 😂 A funny or lighthearted moment that made us smile.

Drop yours in the comments! Let’s start the day on a positive note. 💛

What Has a Woman Done? More Than You Can Imagine.

Posted on by Know Better Be Better w/Your 2nd Chance to Advance

Recently, I found myself in a conversation where a man asked the question, “What has a woman done?”—as if women have no real value beyond their ability to give birth. My immediate response was simple yet profound: “A woman brought you into this world, and without us, there would be none.” But as I reflected on his words, I realized that this mindset still exists in too many spaces. It’s time to set the record straight.

Women’s contributions to society span far beyond childbirth—though bringing life into the world is in itself a miracle that deserves recognition. Women have built nations, led revolutions, broken barriers, and changed the course of history. Today, in honor of Women’s Awareness Month, let’s highlight the powerful impact women have made and continue to make in the world.

Beyond Birth: Women as Builders, Innovators & Leaders

📚 Education & Advocacy: Women like Malala Yousafzai and Mary McLeod Bethune fought for education rights, ensuring that generations of women had access to knowledge and opportunities.

🔬 Science & Innovation: Without Marie Curie’s groundbreaking research, modern medicine wouldn’t be the same. And let’s not forget Katherine Johnson, whose calculations helped NASA send astronauts into space.

🗳 Politics & Leadership: From Harriet Tubman’s fight for freedom to Vice President Kamala Harris breaking barriers, women have shaped governments and policies around the world.

💼 Business & Entrepreneurship: Women like Madam C.J. Walker, the first self-made female millionaire, and Oprah Winfrey, a media empire builder, have paved the way for women in business.

🎭 Arts & Culture: Maya Angelou, Frida Kahlo, Aretha Franklin, and countless other women have influenced literature, music, and art, shaping culture as we know it.

The Power of Women Today

Beyond these historical figures, everyday women change the world in ways that aren’t always recorded in history books. Mothers, teachers, caregivers, nurses, engineers, first responders, mentors, and community leaders—women shape our lives every single day.

Women run businesses, raise families, break generational curses, and inspire change in their communities. The question isn’t “What has a woman done?”—the real question is, what haven’t we done?

A Call to Awareness & Celebration

This Women’s Awareness Month, let’s do more than recognize history—we must also uplift and empower the women around us today.

💡 Who is a woman that has inspired or impacted your life? Take a moment to acknowledge her, thank her, or share her story.

Drop her name in the comments, and let’s celebrate the power, resilience, and greatness of women—because we have always been here, shaping the world. 💛💪🏾

Every Breath is a New Opportunity

The Sky is the Limit – Embracing What We’ve Accomplished

Some days, we set out with a list of things we want to accomplish. We start the day feeling motivated, driven, and ready to check every box off our to-do list. But then life happens. Time moves faster than expected, distractions arise, and suddenly, the day is over before we’ve done everything we planned.

Sound familiar? If so, let’s take a moment to shift our perspective.

Instead of focusing on what we didn’t get done, let’s celebrate what we did accomplish. Because progress—no matter how small—is still progress. Each task completed, each lesson learned, and each moment of effort is something to be grateful for.

And here’s the beautiful part: Every day and every breath is a new opportunity. A chance to reset, to try again, to build on what we started. There’s no need to dwell on yesterday when today is already full of possibilities.

So today, let’s count our blessings. Let’s acknowledge our efforts. Let’s recognize that we are always moving forward, even if the steps feel small. Because at the end of the day, the sky is always the limit. ☁️✨

How do you remind yourself to celebrate your progress? Let’s encourage one another in the comments! 💛

Embracing Change – The Beauty of Butterflies & The Promise of Brighter Days

Posted on by Know Better Be Better w/Your 2nd Chance to Advance

Butterflies have always held a special place in my heart. Beyond their undeniable beauty, they symbolize transformation, resilience, renewal, and hope—all things that remind us that change is not only inevitable but also necessary for growth. Just as a caterpillar undergoes an incredible journey before emerging as a butterfly, we, too, are constantly evolving, learning, and stepping into new versions of ourselves.

With Daylight Savings Time approaching and the first signs of spring on the horizon, we are reminded of the power of light and new beginnings. The extra sunlight, the warmth returning to the air, and nature blooming once again—all these things symbolize hope, happiness, and fresh starts.

Let’s Talk Daylight Savings Time 🕰🌸

With all this talk of change, I want to hear from you! There’s been ongoing debate about whether or not we should continue adjusting our clocks for Daylight Savings Time. Some feel the time shift helps maximize daylight, while others find it disruptive to their internal clocks and daily routines.

What do you think? Would you prefer to stop changing clocks for Daylight Savings Time? If so, would you rather keep the time set forward (DST) or set back (Standard Time)? Share your thoughts in the comments below! 🗳💬

As we embrace this new season, let’s focus on the joy that comes with change, the excitement of longer, brighter days, and the beauty of transformation—just like the butterfly. Let’s step into this time with a smile, knowing that with each new day, we have another chance to spread our wings. 💛🦋

Breaking News & A Personal Call to Action

Posted on by Know Better Be Better w/Your 2nd Chance to Advance

As I continue to honor my dear friend’s memory, I have come across shocking and deeply unsettling news. Dr. Sanjeeve Kumar, a physician in Memphis, TN, has been arrested due to alleged criminal medical practices. Reports indicate there are at least four confirmed victims. Here is the link to the article detailing the case: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/02/memphis-gynecologist-charged-sexual-abuse

This information hits painfully close to home. My best friend, who tragically passed away from endometrial cancer, was treated by this very doctor. While I cannot definitively prove a connection between his actions and her untimely passing, I firmly believe her case, along with any other patients he treated, deserves a thorough review.

A Call to Action:

If you or a loved one were ever treated by Dr. Kumar, I urge you to take action.

  • Request Medical Records: Ensure that your personal or your loved one’s medical files have not been mishandled or tampered with.
  • Come Forward: If you suspect malpractice, do not hesitate to report your experience to the appropriate authorities.
  • Demand a Review: If your loved one passed away under his care, push for their case to be investigated. Every person deserves justice, and every life deserves to be accounted for.

Lessons We Must Take From This:

  • Always research your doctors. Check their credentials, reviews, and any history of malpractice claims.
  • Never hesitate to get a second opinion. Your health is too precious to rely solely on one perspective.
  • Trust your instincts. If something feels off about a diagnosis, treatment, or procedure, ask questions and advocate for yourself or your loved ones.

The Timing of It All…
It is no coincidence that this arrest happened in the same week I was honoring my friend. I believe this is part of bringing light to the truth. I will not let her name or the names of others fade away without a fight for accountability.

Let’s stand together in the pursuit of justice and medical awareness. We owe it to those we’ve lost and to those still here fighting for proper care.
