Life: The Crash Course

This is just my version of a life crash course. All of what follows this blurb, is stuff that I use daily, and is actually posted up next to my bed. Life can be hard sometimes, even more so if you have other things impacting it or you. (For me, this includes things like severe depression and anxiety, family -or lack there of- issues, etc.) I know how difficult it can be, just trying to function, let alone be productive or 'happy'. This is what I've found helpful, so I wanted to share it so that it might help another person feel at least a tiny bit better.  --- Good Morning!

Put on some music

Drink a glass or two of water

Take any and all vitamins or medications as directed

Brush your teeth

Wash your face

Brush your hair

Feed/take care of any dependents (i.e. pets)

Drink a glass of tea (or juice/coffee, whatever you prefer)

Stretch

Check if you have school or work; if so, prepare accordingly

Now check if you have any other plans/appointments/commitments

Check the mail

Put away 20 things in your room

Charge your phone

Make sure you make/eat something

Check your phone and reply if you need/want to

Through The Day

Put away another 15 things in your room

Talk to at least one person, whether it be online, on the phone, via text, on skype, in person, etc. 

Only do your hair/makeup if you need to, don't feel obligated

Try to go out and take a walk; even if it's just around the block

Eat something

If any dishes are in your room, make sure they make it into the kitchen sink

Wash those dishes; it's annoying to do, but it's better to only have to do one or two dishes at a time then have an entire sink full.

Wipe off the kitchen counters if they need it

Drink at least 5-6 more glasses of water throughout the day

Do something you enjoy for at least 30 minutes; even on a busy day, find the time to do it. You'll be glad you did.

Follow through on any prior commitments you had, and try to be a few minutes early if possible. It'll save you some worrying along the way.

Try and stay positive about things if you can. I know it's had, and it's okay if you can't, but there's got to be at least one good thing that you can look to if you search hard enough. I promise, it's somewhere in there.

Goodnight...

Take any/all makeup off

Shower or have a bath

Brush your teeth

Brush your hair

Drink another glass of water

Put away 5 things in your room

Think about something that made you smile today

Envision the person you want to become

Try to get at least 7 hours of sleep if you can

Through The Week

Sweep/vacuum the house twice; more if need be

Take out the trash when it gets full

Do a weekly fridge check to make sure everything in there is still good

Go grocery shopping as needed

Do some laundry

If you have a pet, make sure you're checking it's litter/bedding/ect. and cleaning/changing accordingly

Clean the bathroom; this means wipe down the counter, the sink, clean the toilet, clear empty bottles and such out of the shower, pick up any clothes you may have left in there, etc.

Tidy the living room if it's needed

Wipe down the stove top

If you have any extra money, try and budget it/set it aside

Side Notes

Save any and all pay stubs if you get any

Put things away as soon as you get them

Find a creative outlet; writing, drawing, dance, painting, reading, anything. 

Not every person is worth the drama they bring into your life, pick and choose accordingly. (P.s. Yes, you can pick and choose. You are not obligated to be friends with anyone you don't want to be friends with. Even if it seems like you are desperate to have just anyone around, don't let that 'anyone' be someone who can cause more harm than good in your life. Trust me on this.)

Never say something about someone unless your willing to have them hear it, because you never know who's lips might be loose (Unless it's someone you truly trust.)

Family is a concept/asset the is NOT required in order for you to be successful, functional, or happy.

Never be ashamed of who you are, what you want, what you like, or who you love. No one should have that kind of control over how you feel. Don't let them. (Besides, it's none of their damn business anyway.)

Don't let anyone guilt you; And if they're trying to? Call them the fuck out. That shit is not okay. You're already dealing with your own shit and don't need that.

It's okay to not be okay

Make sure you see a doctor when you think you need to, and for your regular check ups

If you need help, please don't be afraid to ask for it. I promise you, you'll be glad you did in the end

Find something that makes you happy, and pursue it

You are not the words that have been said to or about you

So that's about everything. I may add to this as I add to my own list, but for now, here it is. I really hope this helps anyone who reads it. If you ever need support, or have a question, or need advice, or anything, please feel free to contact me.  Oh, and one more thing I forgot to add.

Someone out there loves you.

Andre Lyon’s Top 10 Financial Tips.

You’ll want to write these down!

Even if you’re not on the verge of becoming a billionaire like hip-hop impresario Lucious Lyon, chances are you can still benefit from improving your personal finances. We sat down with Empire Entertainment CFO Andre Lyon and asked for his top ten financial tips for the average person. You’ll want to write these down and keep them close by! 1. MAKE A BUDGET This is your first step. Take it seriously. Budget realistically so you can see where all your money’s going month-to-month. You can’t map out a financial strategy unless you know where you’re starting. This will also help wean you off the bad habit of spending money before you get it. 2. PLAY THE LONG GAME Like the saying goes, “All the glitters is not gold.” I can’t tell you how many new artists I’ve seen get signed to Empire, only to blow through their signing bonus buying fancy cars and clothes, trying to create the impression that they’re living on the same level as my father, who’s sold millions of records. They end up spending themselves into a mountain of debt. So even if you’re not a singer or rapper who’s signed your first contract, take my advice: slow your roll. Don’t let money burn a hole in your pocket. Keep your eye on your long-term goals. 3. SAVE, SAVE, SAVE! This simply can’t be stressed enough. A lot of people are resistant to the idea of saving, but I always think of it as “paying yourself first.” Even if you’re already in the habit of paying all your bills and other debts as fast as you can, it’s time to change your mindset. In most cases, paying everyone else first will most likely leave you with very little money left to set aside, and you’ll continue living month-to-month with no way out. 4. CUT THE CARDS Years ago, when my father first started making some good money from his record sales, he started getting bombarded with pre-approved credit cards. And I don’t think it’s telling tales out of school for me to say that he took full advantage of them…until I sat him down and showed him that he was just throwing money out the window in terms of interest payments. So I’ll tell you like I told him: figure out which two – yes, only two – credits cards you truly need to live on. Cut the rest in half. Ironically, the more income you make, the more those pre-approved cards will keep showing up, but you don’t have to accept them. Steer clear of the trap. 5. LIVE UNDER YOUR MEANS You often hear people say, “live within your means.” I disagree. For the average person, living within your means gives you very little wiggle room in case of emergencies. So you should be living as far below your means as reasonably possible. Saving a good portion of your income is critical to long-term financial health. 6. GET ORGANIZED Balance your checkbook. Put all your monthly bills in one place and pick a specific day out of the month to sit down and pay them. Create a filing system for your bank statements tax returns, and other financial paperwork. These small steps might seem like a waste of time, but once you get into the habit of doing them, you’ll find that they actually save you money. No more overdraft fees or interest charges on late credit card payments. 7. START INVESTING Making people think they have to be millionaires in order to get into the investment game is one of the most effective tricks Wall Street has ever pulled. But that’s jut what it is: a trick. Anyone can invest, and it doesn’t require a huge amount of disposable income. You’ll have to take some time to do your research on this one, but trust me, this is where you want to start directing your energy. A simple savings account is nice, and easy for everyone to wrap their minds around, but they yield pretty much no return at all. If you want to start building a legacy – or even just a comfortable retirement nest egg – investing is the way to go. 8. KEEP A MONEY JOURNAL If you’ve ever gone on a diet and had to keep a food journal, where you write down everything you eat or drink each day, then you’re already familiar with this practice. A “money journal” is just like it sounds: a written list of everything you spend on a daily basis, be it cash, check, or charge. If you do this for just four weeks, I guarantee that certain spending patterns will emerge, and you’ll be able to step back and take note of just how much money you’re devoting to things like lattes, movies, and snacks throughout the day. It all adds up pretty fast. 9. DREAM BIG It’s okay to have big dreams. We all do. That’s exactly how Empire started out: my mother and father’s dream. A lot of people think my only job at the company is running around and stopping different departments from spending too much money. And yes, that’s part of it, but the reality is, sometimes you have to take big steps if you’re going to grow. So if you’re fantasizing about owning a big house or traveling around the world someday, let that motivate you. Just stay focused on your goal every single day. 10. NEITHER A BORROWER OR A LENDER BE William Shakespeare said it best: “Neither a borrower nor a lender be, for loan oft loses itself and friend.” Now, this doesn’t mean you should never help anyone in need (nor should you be too proud to ask for help if you really need it), but it’s a situation you should strive to avoid. It’s usually a no-win situation for everybody involved.
