Achieving work-life balance can be really difficult. Longer working hours, more pressure to get things done quickly, more pressure to succeed and less personal time. Added together this combination of things creates more stress and plenty of daily struggles. However, working longer and harder doesn’t mean achieving more, especially if you have no time to spend with the people that matter most.

Use these 4 tips to start living a stress free life

Learn to say no

It’s important to decide what you want to do, who you want to build relationships with and where you want to spend your time. Have the self-respect, confidence and courage to live life on your own terms and say yes only to the things that really matter. For everything else, start saying no. Don’t try and be all things to all people. Focus on your strengths and outsource the others.

Exercise regularly
Regular exercise is not only good for you physically, it also has ties to helping the human brain cope with stress, depression, and anxiety; and according to research, exercise causes a release of norepinephrine, which is a neuromodulator that helps the brain handle stress.

Manage your mind

When fear or self-doubt or anxiety step in, do some work on your mental health such as meditation or reading a book. Alternatively, spend time with someone who will lift you up and support you.

Set clear goals

Setting specific and measurable goals gives you the best chance to transform how you work and live. They help you move forward and build momentum every single day.

Our Parent’s Generation Didn’t Support Their Children’s Talents – Phyno

Phyno Says His Parents Didn't Support His Career | fab.ng

Nigerian rapper Phyno praised today’s parents for showing greater support for their children’s talents than the previous generation did.

During his interview on the In My Opinion Podcast, the renowned musician shared his personal experience. He revealed that his parents initially discouraged his musical ambitions.

Phyno explained that the current generation of parents is more understanding and open-minded about their children’s aspirations. This creates a more supportive environment for young talent to flourish.

“My parents didn’t support my career when I first started. It’s different now,” he said.

He added, “I think the generation after my parents understands what it means to support their children’s talent and knows that there is something special about a child who loves music, or a child who loves to play ball.”

The rapper compared the two generations. He emphasized how children in the past were often disciplined for pursuing their artistic dreams.

“Then, when parents come home and see you playing ball, they beat you and seize the ball and give you punishment. You understand me?” he said.

Phyno applauded today’s parents for identifying and fostering their children’s talents, be it in music, sports, or other fields.

“I’m just trying to say that era and this era are different. Now any father who sees his son can play ball and enrols him in an academy. Some, at 1 year old already buy you a ball and say you must play ball like Neymar,” he explained.

Phyno also acknowledged the shift in perception surrounding creative careers, saying,

“Different generations, you know and I also don’t blame my parents. I’m sure that the money in music now was never in music then. They also look at people who did music back then as useless people. As people who just wanted to carry dreadlocks and walk around. But now everyone sees the talent and a gift to be shared to the world, and shout-out to this era of parents.”

Louis Vuitton Speedy bag: The New Menswear Favourite | fab.ng

The Louis Vuitton Speedy bag, once a celebrity favourite in the early 2000s, is making a resurgence as the go-to accessory for the new style, and this time it is men who are adopting the iconic top-handle look.

Pharrell Williams, the musician and creative director for Louis Vuitton’s menswear, has revitalized the classic piece by introducing bold colours and playful designs.

The new Louis Vuitton Speedy bag also has found favour among other style-conscious men. This goes from actor Jacob Elordi, known for his love of statement bags, to NBA star LeBron James.

Unlike its previous run as a flashy, attention-grabbing accessory, today’s Speedy bag appears more nonchalant. It blends seamlessly with traditional menswear pieces such as Elordi’s tailored jeans and James’s bomber jacket.

The Speedy’s resurgence mirrors a larger trend, as purses and bags become essential accessories in men’s fashion. As more male celebrities adopt the Speedy, the bag is becoming a symbol of modern masculinity. It portrays a statement piece that says “I’m confident, I’m stylish, and I’m not afraid to carry my stuff.”

The rise of the Louis Vuitton Speedy bag in popularity among men can be attributed to several factors.

First, the bag’s versatility makes it a practical choice for a variety of occasions. Whether you’re heading to the office, running errands, or going out for a night on the town, the Speedy can be dressed up or down to suit your needs.

Second, the bag’s iconic status and association with luxury brands like Louis Vuitton make it a coveted accessory for those who want to project an image of wealth and sophistication.

Finally, the Speedy’s recent resurgence in popularity has been fueled by celebrity endorsements and social media influencers. Seeing celebrities and fashion icons carrying the Louis Vuitton Speedy bag has made it a must-have accessory for many men.

The Speedy’s resurgence also speaks to a broader shift in men’s fashion. In recent years, there has been a growing trend towards more expressive and individualistic styles of dressing.

Men are no longer afraid to experiment with different looks and to embrace accessories that reflect their personality. The Speedy is the perfect accessory for this new generation of stylish men. It is a versatile, iconic, and stylish bag that can be worn with a variety of different outfits.

In conclusion, the Louis Vuitton Speedy bag is a timeless classic that is experiencing a well-deserved resurgence in popularity.

Whether you’re a fan of the original design or the new, updated version, the Speedy is sure to be a stylish and practical addition to your wardrobe.
