What you give your attention dictates your direction ➡️

Don't like where you're headed?
Maybe get off this app and put your attention elsewhere 🤔

[Ashton Baalaer @ABaalaer]

If you believe you can, then you're right.
If you believe you can't, then you're also right.

Your mind can set you free.
Or
It can be your own personal prison.

The choice starts here 🧠

*Problems exist in the world*

People's solution:
Let's fight eachother and push our own personal agenda because I'm too ignorant to admit when I'm wrong and refuse to see other peoples perspective.

This creates more problems.
This is a formula for disaster.

What does the word F.E.A.R. Mean to you?

-Forget Everything And Run

-Face Everything And Rise

One is destructive.
The other is constructive.

Choose wisely the next time you FEAR something.

[Ashton Baalaer @ABaalaer]

I think people are getting facts and opinions mixed up...

FACT: a thing that is known or proved to be true.

OPINION: view or judgment formed about something, not based on fact or knowledge.

We're offended by someone else's opinion because we think our opinion is a fact.

2020. The year of "20/20 vision".

-I hope ya'll can clearly see racism.
-I hope ya'll can clearly see health is important.
-I hope ya'll can see that the media can't be trusted.

Most importantly I hope ya'll can see 2020 is the year "WE" NEEDED, but maybe not what "YOU" wanted.

For all the people out there fighting for #blacklivesmatter.

We love you ♥️

And ya'll are also invited to the cookout ✊🏾

[Ashton Baalaer @ABaalaer]

1619: UNJUSTLY steal black people from their home and make them slaves.
1877: UNJUSTLY separate black from white and give them no fair shot of living a decent life.
2020: UNJUSTLY murder black people and get away with it.

You gave us rights but take our lives?

Hate is the pandemic we should be striving to stop.

It's the most deadly disease there is.

Man I can't wait to hug people again.

I don't care if you're more of a handshake person.

I'm hugging you and I'm holding that thing for at least 5 seconds 🤗

CONSISTENCY⤵️
COMPETENCE⤵️
CONFIDENCE 🔃

Do something consistently and you'll become better at doing it.

Become better at doing it and you'll be more confident doing it.

Be more confident doing it and you'll be more consistent.

[Ashton Baalaer @ABaalaer]

STRESS! It's a killer but also a pusher.

Too MUCH stress: destroys your health and well-being.
Too LITTLE stress: keeps you complacent, stagnant, and decays you.

You need enough stress to progress but not too much where it buries you.

I feel like baking has become the way to cope during Quarantine!

Easier to mix up ingredients than to handle mixed emotions 😂😬
Who else has baked banana bread? 🙋🏾‍♂️

[Ashton Baalaer @ABaalaer]

ACKNOWLEDGE your feelings.
ADJUST your expectations.
ALIGN your path.

You can't control your environment.
But you can control how you react to it.

[Ashton Baalaer @ABaalaer]

How to handle the Quarantine:

If you're mentally well:
Use this time to create, learn, or do something new!

If you're NOT mentally well:
Use this time for rest, working on the basics and getting your mind back!

Not matter what use this time on YOU!

[Ashton Baalaer @ABaalaer]

@nlmg1444 Sure is bro, just gotta adjust and take it one day at a time!

[Ashton Baalaer @ABaalaer]

So my Quarantine work flow has been:
-Wake up.
-Check my schedule 40 times.
-Google "When will I allow to be outside."
-Tik Tok, instagram, Facebook, now Twitter.
-Eat snacks.
-Do some push-ups.
-Watch Netflix.
-Go to bed.
