Chillin' With Frozone

Inner Monologue: Gimme Five
This is a piece I created to share a very powerful tool given to me by my counselor that anyone who may also struggle with negative thoughts/negative thoughts patterns can use!
"Gimme Five" is when you breathe in for five secs, hold your breath for five secs, release for five secs and then repeat four more times for a total of five reps - gimme five. It's a simple but highly effective tool. This isn't limited just to negative thoughts but anytime you wanna reset. Give it a try the next time you're attacked by negative thinking, seconds away from going off on someone, right before you go in for a big job interview, or before you're about to have a challenging conversation!

Uncomfortable Change - A Spoken Word Piece
This is a Spoken Word piece I created back in fall of 2016 called "Uncomfortable Change". Despite the current state in our country, I wholeheartedly believe that change is always possible. The potential is there; always has been and always will be. For the people group(s) this subject matter effects - we been tired and ready for change. For those who it doesn't directly effect, I challenge you to let the uncomfortableness of this very real reality make you want the same change.
Thank You: A Spoken Word Piece
"Thank You" was inspired by the first Black General in the United States Marine Corps Frank Emmanuel Petersen, Jr. Born and raised in Topeka, Kansas, Frank faced and overcame a lot of adversity when trying to enlist back in the 1950s. He later went on to also become the first official Black Aviator in the USMC at the age of 20. To learn more about him, visit the links below! Thank you Lt. Gen. Petersen for your bravery and for making history!
