We have also seen a global rise in depression, anxiety and other mental issues, and in such challenging times, what actions can we take to boost our wellbeing and build our resilience?

That’s why we have put together 5 ways to practice real self-care for our esteemed viewers because.

1. IMPROVE YOUR MENTAL DIET
Everything changes when you realize your diet isn’t just what you eat, it’s you watch what you read, who you follow and who you spend your time with, so if your goal is to have a healthier mind, start by removing junk food from your mental diet.

2. LEARN TO LET PEOPLE DOWN
Now, this just means that your mental health is more important than your career, money, other people’s opinions, that event you said you will attend, your friend or partner’s mood and your family’s wishes combined.

So if taking care of yourself means letting someone down, then let someone down.

3. SET CLEAR BOUNDARIES AND PROTECT THEM
You don’t lose real friends, real opportunities or real relationships when you start standing up for yourself and setting clear boundaries.

You lose abusers, manipulators, narcissists, attention seekers and mental health-destroying leeches, So, anything you lose when you stand up for yourself is something else gained.

4. MAKE REPLACEMENTS
Real self-care requires replacement. So try replacing Netflix marathons with sleep, replace fake influencers with inspiring creators, replace toxic friends with mentors, replace complaining with gratitude, replace blame with responsibility, and replace overthinking with action.

5. LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR FUTURE NOT BACK AT YOUR PAST
Your mental health will never improve if you keep searching for happiness in the same toxic people and places that you lost because that person is still a cheater, that relationship is toxic, and that job still sucks.

Your past is your past, and you have to look forward to moving forward.

We can tell that we are aware of our toxic traits and every day, we are unlearning them, how about you, do you know yours or are you one of those people who sit on a high horse thinking everyone else has a problem except you?

We have put together 5 SIGNS YOU MAY BE EMOTIONALLY MANIPULATIVE.

1. YOU HAVE A PH.D. IN REVERSE PSYCOLOGY

Somehow you always find a way of turning things around and pushing the blame on others even when you are clearly the one at fault, and you have made it your toxic superpower, stop it ok!!!

2. SMART PEOPLE MAKE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE

Now this one is awkward and strange to comprehend, as you feel uneasy around smart people because you already know that they see through your games and manipulation.

3. YOU ARE QUICK TO PLAY VICTIM

You are fond of holding pity parties as you always have a way of making everyone see you as the victim even when you are not, please repent.

4. YOU ARE NOT STRAIGHTFORWARD

You are fond of playing mind games as you manipulate your way through every situation, we say again, repent.

5. YOU USE MONEY AS A CONTROL TOOL

Your generosity comes at a price as you use money as a tool to get people to kiss your *BLEEP* and bend to your will, and repent ooooo.

Meet Ittyokim, a journalist, writer, Pr consultant, and co-host of Baegist. Baegist is the ‘No. 1 Relationship Podcast in Nigeria’ Hosted by  Ittyokim & Steves Girl.

The biweekly relationship podcast has gen z people as its focus with its first episode released on the 26th of January, 2022.

Who Is A GenZ?

Generation Z, colloquially known as zoomers, is the demographic cohort succeeding Millennials and preceding Generation Alpha.

Researchers and popular media use the mid to late 1990s as starting birth years and the 2010s as ending birth years. Most members of Generation Z are children of Generation X.

Anyone born between 1981 and 1996 (ages 23 to 38 in 2019) is considered a Millennial, and anyone born from 1997 onward is part of a new generation.

Ittyokim claims he is more than experienced to talk about GenZ relationships because it’s his reality right now and he can’t talk about marriages and Millennial relationships because he has no experience.

“I am a GenZ, and I feel like it’s beyond experience, it’s more of sharing stories that are real to me. He added”

How do you help people navigate the relationships there are in?

Honestly, the whole idea of even starting this in the first place came from how I and my co-host Tosin always have our peers come around to ask us questions concerning relationships for some reason.

It didn’t make sense to us because we were their age mate, some of them were even older and people had always said that I and Tosin could do something together.

I was like, should we write a book because I am a writer and she’s also sort of a writer and I was like, let’s do a TV show like ‘Wake Up Nigeria’ but it wasn’t working so we decided to do a podcast.

Do you have any support and mentorship?

Baegist is produced by a company called ‘Verse5’, Verse5 is a production company. The Idea of Baegist came from the owner of Verse5.

How do you focus when it comes to a relationship as a GenZ?

It’s different from GenZ because I mean, for other generations where the relationship is probably something that they have the idea of getting married to their partner, it’s different with GenZ because nowadays you don’t get to see a lot of people who have that mindset of going into a relationship, they just want to have a good time, it’s like an experiment.

We are really young, and there are so many years ahead of us. I just feel like, maybe it’s the media, we should just enjoy ourselves right now. It is a wrong mentality to go into a relationship with the mindset that it will lead to marriage.

When you go into a relationship without having a long-term one in mind there are symptoms of that illness so at Baegist we try to fix those symptoms and let you know you’re doing the wrong thing in the first place.

How do you do it? what do you tell them?

It’s real to me as well because I am a GenZ person so I know the struggles, I am not in a relationship myself and probably never been in one.

It’s very weird but I am aware of what the challenges could be so i and my cohost try to fix that problem for you.

Is there a reason why GenZ doesn’t date one person for long?

The media over the years, let me say, the world is sick and people just really want to have a good time.

People are willing to pay any price just to feel happy and one of those is relationships. So if they find someone who gives them temporary happiness they are just cool with that and you know that relationships are a lot of hard work and this generation doesn’t want hard work so it’s like, let’s do it till when we are tired and let’s just rest.
