      Sometimes life is hard, and we go through stages of depression. Depression shows up in everyone differently so sometimes it's hard to tell what someone needs help with. It's important to always take time out for yourself and talk to someone if you or someone else are feeling bad. Here I have some tips on how to live with and overcome depression:

    1. Set Realistic Goals: Overcoming the challenges of depression and learning to manage your symptoms is a process. I plan my week in and out so I can know my short-term goals. As for my long-term goals, they are written down as well in my calendar or notepad. 

    2. Celebrate Small Successes: Success no matter how big or small I celebrate it. Especially when I feel a pass of depression.

    3. Positive Self-Talk:  Practicing some positive self-talk helps the brain shift from a negative mindset to a positive one.

    4. Express Gratitude: Increasing self-awareness of positive aspects is something that needs to be done daily.

5. Meditation: Meditation helps you relieve stress and helps lift your energy throughout the day.

  Getting over depression is not easy and we all have to remember we have all of the resources to help us get better inside. Meditation and other outlets like the gym really help us stay focused and mentally stable. Just remember to follow my steps and stay positive through it all.

Chestnut Grill Review

 

Chestnut Grill is more like Chest NOT!! welcome to one of Orangeburg's finest restaurants. With non-regular hours the lines of the parking lot are always full when they do open. Today April 9th I had the chance to dine in and eat at this luxurious spot. As I entered the place the smell of seafood and ribs hit my nose and a calm relaxed noise made my ears tingle, I felt welcomed. The two ladies at the front were very polite and nice letting me know there is a wait time of 25 min. which of course I didn't mind it gave me time to look at the menu on my phone and call a friend or two.

Minutes later I was seated by a young lady who didn't care enough to remember my name calling me Tae instead of Ty but that's okay I just politely corrected her. 

Now I am sitting waiting and my waitress comes over happily giving off great energy and proceeds to give me the menu and gives me time to look over it.

Pricing is a little on the heavy side for the food options but there are cheap dishes you can get separately as well as a kid's menu. 

As my dishes, I ordered mozzarella sticks, breaded shrimp, side salad, broccoli and cheese as well as croissants. 

Mozzarella Sticks:  4/10 The cheese between the sticks was stiff and thick. 

Breaded shrimp: 6/10 Some pieces of shrimp were fried together which made the batter still uncooked between the shrimp. which caused me to not eat half of my meal.

Side Salad: 8/10 The salad was tossed with fresh veggies which included a load of ranch sauce.

Broccoli and Cheese: 2/10 The broccoli itself was unsalted and bland as the cheese they did not use the correct cheese instead a carnival version. I've never wanted it or had it that way.

Croissants: 9/10 Coated in honey 

The scenery is good for date night and even a friend date. the customer service is excellent my server was fantastic!  but food could be a little better.
