From Blade: A man makes time for where he finds peace.

Hey ya’ll  What Up?! What it Do! In BCHG we discussed men and how they respond to sharing their time with the ones they love or chasing money. Women let’s face it sometimes we just want more time with our man. One of the men on stage stated “A man always finds time for where he finds peace.”  Ladies that was soooo profound to me! During that conversation, it dawned on me that maybe we don’t get that time we crave so much with our men because we are not cultivating a peaceful space.

Today, we’re diving deep into a topic that may resonate with every man out there: carving out that sacred space where men find much-needed tranquility. ‘Cause let’s face it, life can get crazy, and it’s essential to have a spot where they can just breathe and find solace.

Now, you might be wondering, “Why the heck is this important?” Well, Ladies, it’s simple. Amid all the chaos and responsibilities men face especially black men, taking time out for self is crucial for mental and emotional well-being. It’s like recharging batteries, ya feel me?

So, let’s break it down. Ladies! listen this applies to you as well…..How do we create that oasis of peace amidst the daily hustle and bustle for our men? Heck, how do we do it for ourselves? Here are a few tips to help you find your zen or your man to help him find his:

1. Get Out in Nature: There’s nothing quite like Mother Nature to soothe our souls. Whether it’s a serene hike in the woods, a relaxing fishing trip, or simply sitting under a tree in the park, nature has a way of grounding us and reminding us of the beauty that exists beyond the concrete jungle.

2. Create a Personal Retreat: Everyone’s got different tastes, right? So, why not curate a space that reflects your vibe? It could be a cozy corner in your home with soft lighting, your favorite scented candles, and a comfortable chair to sink into. Or maybe it’s a man cave, decked out with your prized possessions, where you can unwind with your buddies. Whatever floats your boat!

3. Indulge in a Hobby: We all have that one thing that makes us forget about time and space. Whether it’s strumming a guitar, painting, cooking up a storm, or even hitting the gym, find that activity that sparks joy and gets you in that state of flow. Dive into it whenever you need a breather from the outside world.

4. Seek Inner Peace in Music: Ah, music, the language of the soul. Crank up those tunes that transport you to another dimension, where your worries fade away. It could be some soulful jazz, head-banging rock, or even some chill lo-fi beats. Let the music wash over you and guide you to that place of tranquility.

5. Connect with Like-minded Souls: Sometimes, finding peace isn’t just about being alone. It’s about connecting with people who share your passions and values. Surround yourself with positive vibes and folks who uplift your spirits. Whether it’s joining a club, attending workshops, or simply hanging out with your crew, these connections can be a source of profound peace and support.

Remember family, finding your peace is an ongoing journey. It’s about making a conscious effort to prioritize yourself and nurture your well-being. In a world that never stops, carving out that sacred space becomes even more crucial.

So, BCHG FAMILY, make that time for yourself. Find that spot, that hobby, that person, or that tune that brings you the peace you deserve. Take care of yourself, and let your spirit soar in the sanctuary you’ve created. Peace out! ✌️
