There were so many people that helped me along the way once I was released from prison back in 1996.⁠
⁠
Of course my family played a big role in helping me get back on my feet as I forged my path as a convicted felon.⁠
⁠
But it wasn’t only my family who supported me, but I had great friends who were there for me and my son.
⁠
Having a solid support system helps reduce the number of people returning to prison within 3 years of release aka recidivism.⁠
⁠
Yes, an organization can provide effective reentry services, but without the support of their family, friends, and community it’s all for nigh. ⁠
⁠
HERE AT TYSON'S STOREHOUSE, our 2nd Chance Hub and its services are offered in a loving, nonjudgmental kind of way. We consider ourselves your family and friend. We are here for you and believe in you❤️

It’s Wellness Wednesday!⁠
⁠
For the last 4 weeks, we have challenged you to the sleep challenge for a better understanding of how sleep or the lack thereof impact our overall wellbeing.⁠
⁠
It's all about Educating, Equipping, and Empowering! Our mission here at Tyson’s Storehouse.⁠
⁠
We were educated on our chronotype aka circadian rhythm to help identify our ideal sleep times.⁠
⁠
Understanding our chronotype equipped us to set and follow an ideal bedtime and wake up time for a week, which I failed miserably lol. ⁠
We then were challenged to be mindful in what we eat and how we eat. Do you eat breakfast every day? Eat late nights? Take your lunch while answering emails? It was all about being mindful.⁠
⁠
And then we were challenged to incorporate more movements in our daily lives…to exercise more. To stay hydrated…⁠
⁠
How many of us have thought about sleep on this level…holistically? Getting a good night’s sleep is SUPER important to our mental and physical health.⁠
⁠
To learn more about the different challenges from the last four weeks visit the Health Center at Hudson Yards. They have a wealth of information.⁠

For me, education has afforded me numerous opportunities that would not have been available if I did not have it.⁠
⁠
The opportunity to teach high school English and ESOL classes. To travel across the states teaching leadership classes to high school and middle school scholars.⁠
⁠
And most importantly, to raise my son in an environment not surrounded by drugs, crime, and violence.⁠
⁠
I KNOW that education has the POWER to change the trajectory of one's life…I am a living testament to this fact.⁠
⁠
Which is why one of our reentry services is FREE adult literacy and GED classes to anyone wanting to finish or further their education.⁠

Good morning!⁠
⁠
Its Wellness Wednesday and we are already in week 3 of our month long sleep challenge.⁠
⁠
For week one, you were challenged to discover your chronotype. For me, I am a wolf aka night owl.⁠
⁠
Last week, you had to identify your ideal bedtime and wake up time. My ideal bedtime is 1 a.m. and ideal wake up time is 7:30a.m. ⁠
⁠
Week’s 3 challenge is thinking about what you eat…To spend one week intentionally thinking about your eating experiences. ⁠
⁠
Do you eat breakfast on the go? Eat lunch while answering emails? Of course, these and so many others aren’t good habits. ⁠
⁠
The Health Center director says, “when we eat mindfully and intuitively, it allows us to connect to our bodies internal hunger and fullness cues.”⁠
⁠
So, the challenge this week is to keep track of your eating for at least a week using the Hunger Fullness Scale as your guide to record your eating experiences.⁠
⁠
You can access the hunger fullness scale @ cnet.com/health/nutrition/hunger-fullness-scale/⁠
⁠
We would love to hear how you measure up to the challenges each week. So please share!
