The thought of being ‘bad ass’ does not necessarily have anything to do with attitude and personality but rather the form of expressing an emotion in a matter of release… In this case, a release of energy, a physical activity..

‘Good Girls Can Be Bad Azz Too’ is about empowerment and how women can let themselves feel powerful in a way where they release energy out of their system.. Whenever we go through something horrible, or whatever it may be that is challenging.. We sometimes need a boost..

I like to go to the gym to lift weights and release my energy by attending kickboxing classes and also training in boxing gyms.. Just being in the gym, for me it mentally takes me elsewhere, and I perform for me, its ‘me time’ and I like to focus on my well-being..

A physical activity can be a great release for physically and mentally.. It is so important to have a getaway and allow yourself to just let loose and have fun and forget about things.. You will see yourself strengthen and have a certain poise and mentally clear things out of your mind..

Let the gym be your place where you can be ‘Bad Azz’ and encourage yourself to express your inner challenges by physically releasing energy..

Please share your thoughts with me on how you release your energy and how you bounce back from challenging experiences..

ITS COOL TO BE CAUTIOUS!!

How cautious are we when we first meet agree to meet someone on a date?? We seem to be a bit too trusting..We all go on a date where we know basic information, as in the guy’s first name and his phone number..What we need to know is their last name..we should search more of their background information. Social Media is available and we should use these sites to our advantage for our own safety (ex: google, facebook, twitter, etc.)….Also, be cautious with your own social media sites…Confide in someone you trust. Tell a friend, your mom, your aunt, someone you trust of where you are going, who you are going with (give them his information: name and phone number, etc.), what you will be doing, what time approximately you will be back…Two years ago, I was over my friend’s house and I had made plans to go out on a date..my friend felt responsible she asked me to give her his name and phone number…when the guy showed up to pick me up..she went outside took a picture of his license plate, took a picture of him and asked him questions of where we were going, what we were going to do and when we would be back…me and him laughed it off.. but I felt safe because my friend had his information…many might think what my friend did might have been a bit extreme.. but then again, we must be aware of our surroundings, take care of ourselves and always confide in at least one person….

Here are a couple ways to be safe:

Tell Someone Where You're Going.. Let someone know what your plans are and when you’ll be back.. Agree to have a check in time with a friend or the person you confide in..

Plan a Date Somewhere Public.. Refrain from having a date where you meet at either your place or his house…

For a First Date Consider a Double Date.. Being with a friend you know or with a group of people can be exciting too..

Drink Responsibly and Always Watch Your Drink.. Keep your eye on your drink.. You hear this a lot, but it’s true, your plans for the night can have an instant turn around without you even knowing so…Know your limits of drinking and don’t hesitate to turn down another drink..

Have Cash.. Not all venues of places may accept credit cards.. you may even find yourself in a situation for a run.. Knowing that you have cash in hand may work for your benefit..

Listen to Your Instincts.. We may feel right about something at one point, but the closer we get to something our feelings may change, so don’t disregard your instincts.. If you don’t feel right about something, cancel the plans..

Drive Yourself.. Don’t Get in His Car.. You don’t know him that well yet.. Don’t trust him so quick.. and you never know, you may even be uninterested at one point, you can excuse yourself without relying on anyone..

When Conversing, Keep Personal Information Private.. Revealing private information may be used against you, even something like what gym you go to..

Keep these in mind..BE SAFE.. Always KNOW.. ITS COOL TO BE CAUTIOUS…
