Personally, I have had many ideas and things that have really made January special. Here is a list of the 10 greatest highlights that make my January favorites.

” If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.” . . . “The Art of War”, by Sun Tzu. For the first time ever, I enjoyed listening a book. A book that definitely became a book of the month, probably even a year. The book is the classic piece of records a military strategy deployed by the Chinese. . . The same strategies have come commonly applicable across all spheres of life—business, politics, dail life even the relationship! . . I was amazed at how one can gain the advantage of an opponent in the boardroom and battlefield to gain a loyal following. . . #allareadsabook #theartofwar #motivation #bookshelves #bookstagram #litres #booklover #readbooks #seattlereads #seattleblogger #seattleexplored

The Art Of War, by Sun Tzu

I found this book interesting. Written by Sun Tzu, the classic piece records a military strategy deployed by the Chinese. The same strategies have come commonly applicable across all spheres of life—business, politics, and general life. I was amazed at how one can gain the advantage of an opponent in the boardroom and battlefield to gain a loyal following.

Planning A Trip To Colorado With ExpediaMonthly Favorites

I was overwhelmed with planning my trip to Colorado. Colorado is best known for its places for lovers of snow. Being a snowboarder myself, I can’t wait to visit this state.

I will be visiting several places, including Vail Ski Resort and Colorado Mountains, which have both summer and winter appeal. Moreover, I liked the ease of planning the trip with Expedia.

Expedia makes planning supper easy with a guide to exploring Colorado, booking flights, cars, and others. Planning with Expedia.com could make my dreams a reality, or so I believe!

Monthly Favorites: Movies

Sex Education

I discovered two movies that caught my attention in January. Firstly, Sex Education was about an awkward teenager, Otis, who is struggling with masturbation, though his mother is a sex therapist. He later opens a sex clinic in school to handle students with the same problem at a fee.

Doctor Sleep

I couldn’t get enough of Doctor Sleep, an American horror film based on one of the top Stephen King’s books, which depicts a man with psychic abilities who are struggling with childhood trauma. Stephen King wrote the novel as a sequel to his book ‘The Shining’. Having read The Shining novel, I found this movie a worthy successor.

Monthly Favorites: Udemy Online Education

Udemy is undeniably one of the best online platforms. I liked the ease that comes with the Udemy learning platform as I was looking for the easiest e-learning platform.

Firstly, the platform offered me an opportunity to learn new things that would otherwise have remained a far-off resource. I was amazed that by the time I joined the platform, the site had over 30 million students or so they claimed. What’s more, there is a variety of courses to choose from, all of them fall under IT and business.

As I was creating my student profile there, I realized that you can also create an instructor profile whereby you can upload courses. The instructor would then earn revenue every time a course is purchased, and this payment is made through Payoneer or PayPal every month. On purchasing a course, you acquire lifetime access to the course—some courses are downloadable with a completion certificate.

Elevate AppElevate App

This is a training app designed to offer training assistance. The App helped me improve my skills as I enjoyed over 35 games that enhance self-confidence, boost productivity, and earn power in disciplines such as reading, speaking, listening, and writing, among others.

With the help of the Elevate App, I remained sharp in January, and confidently handled tasks with productivity. The App is simply a brain trainer personalized for you – love it!

I Learned Health Habits

Fortunately, January is a month that I had a deep sense of healthy living habits. I discovered that we are basically what we eat, and most diseases originate from our eating habits.

On top of embracing healthy habits myself, I also encouraged others to embrace healthy living. I sensitized communities about reducing the risk of chronic health problems, fostering healthier relationships, and reversing diseases.

I also learned that as part of this endeavor, we need to develop products to make lifestyle more enjoyable. I have also learned that long life comes from spending more time with loved ones, exploring the world more, and seizing opportunities that use one’s potential.

I Visited the Pacific Science Center

This is a site that would make you experience real science regardless of your age. I discovered that they have events and programs designed for everybody from teens to kids to families and teacher and school programs. Pacific Science Center is a spot that greatly ignited my passion for critical thinking, discovery, and experimentation.

Stevens Pass Snow Adventures

This is a home of winter crusaders enjoying the numerous bowls, glades, and lighted terrain. It’s a place that connected me to what I love most– skiing and riding. Stevens Pass Resort is still my favorite place in Washington state. You can find me there every weekend.

Boxycharm

I can’t regret that I subscribed to BoxyCharm! This package comes with beauty tools, makeup, skin, and cosmetics items. At $25, I received not only the beauty box but I accessed tutorials for amazingly creative ways to use beauty products. Best of all, they offer members-only offers and free products from the best brands.

Started Passion Planner

Being more than just a planner, Passion Planner helps you split your goals and make them part of your daily life. It helps you plan your future, reflect on the past, and, most importantly, make a move now. This planner has decluttered my mind and challenged me to stay focused not only in January but the whole year while prompting me to reflect on daily life.
