  • Trying to live a stress free lifestyle

    What’s the one luxury you can’t live without?

    This is a concern to financial, emotionally or spiritually. When I have financial issues it is mostly in how I can maximise my profit or money but sometimes my emotions get the best in me because if it is too expensive then the other party may not buy. For financial concerns I put my money where it can grow instead of leaving it stagnant so I maximise my finances while maintaining my lifestyle. My lifestyle is pretty much minimal but when it comes to something that has the chance to go up in value I will probably buy, that is if I do not need the money.

    Emotionally and spiritually I tend to reflect on my actions and how I could make it better. This comes in terms of socialising in making the other party themselves feel better. When they feel better I internally feel good, with a spike of stimulation I get knowing I helped one person without having their resources taken away.

    But what is better is living positive spiritually, is having a calm state of mind which is luxury in my case.

  • Going outside your comfort zone

    I feel like whenever I put myself in dangerous situations, the smaller things in life do not phase me. Maybe whether it is a money situation or places where it is unstable. I’m not sure…

    I think it tends to be your personality, if you have an unthreatening self like a giving  soul which is based on the body language you give off then you will be spared. But I guess you could be taken advantage of, so what I think is mostly base your intentions internally instead of externally where people can read your intentions. It is hard but it can be learnt. As well as that you must have a principal you go by so you will minimise the external factors that happen around you so to save yourself some stress and time.

    This could include following the rules or doing something that is morally right.

    But going outside your comfort zone like taking a cold shower or just experiencing the good and bad makes you a more rounded person in society and you have more stories/knowledge to tell to pass on the message, even if one person is inspired.

  • A personality

    If humans had taglines, what would yours be?

    If I had a nickname it would be watapple. Watapple stands for fun in whatever I do. Not thinking too much about the outcome and just going along with it, saying too much and not saying too much at the same time. Basically half truths right at the moment. If you say half truths it is basically not lying.

    In our society there are a lot of lies which can affect our mental health because everyone in the party finds inconsistency in what you are saying it could drive the person nuts thinking about it. I like to have clear conscious in what I say so I don’t feel guilty or rethink what I have done so I don’t think about the past.

    I know this method is dangerous but this could make the world a better place emotionally with mental health issues running rampant.

    We are always meant to live in the future thinking or present planning our next mission to what is to come in life.

  • Keeping an active mind

    We are always supposed to be moving whether it is physically or emotionally. If we stay stagnant our mental health is affected which will make us think of the past too much thinking of the good times. I think this will make our anxiety or depression skyrocket as we think too much of our past instead of looking forward to the future. As I said anxiety, when we think too much of the past, we will not like change as change is part of evolving as a species. If we think too much of the past we may not be able to handle our future stresses.

    That is why it is important to be curious to the world around us to minimise our mental health issues. I mean some people can learn fast and some people cannot but we should strive to keep evolving our minds to keep us young and fresh into our older years.

    Strengthen our minds better than the day before

  • Being healthy emotionally

    What are the most important things needed to live a good life?

    To live a good life it is best to live with positivity. Positively I mean good emotionally when you detach from outcomes you cannot control. If someone makes a mistake in front of you, if it is a small mishap, do not take it seriously because no one got hurt. Every life form is important as it gives you humanity.

    I think a lot of things whether it is things people say, most people take things too serious when it comes to work. I mean do the job or service the best you can but if you stress about it then your mind will go haywire afterwards thus not performing at your best later on. You also get too tired easily as the stress uses up energy from your body from overthinking.

    Once I overthinked too much and it landed me in the hospital which ironically made me worse but it’s mostly to do with yourself and how you should tackle your issues internally.

    But yea… The less stress, the less detachment makes you a bit younger emotionally and physically as your body does not go through a lot of pressure which makes you look a little older.

  • Being vulnerable to sensitive people

    It is hard to be vulnerable in this modern society since we almost always have our guard up. This is because what we consume on the news like stabbings or just creepy behaviour on TV.

    With people that have undiagnosed or diagnosed mental health struggles, it may be hard for us to be vulnerable because of the stigma attached to it. So what I found best is to treat them like a friend, not like how you treat the boys but being attentive and listening to their problems and feelings. It makes an impact when people are seen and treated like they mattered.

    They themselves do not know but what they are doing is supporting businesses as well even though they may not be working for their money. Sometimes it is hard to get around the issues you are facing internally because you may not have all the answers to yourself.

    What I would do is consume some podcasts or read some books to gain some perspectives of the author and turn the information into your own. Also not to stay indoors for too long as you may get depressed easily.

    People that are sensitive are after vulnerabilities because there are so many minds out there in society, we end up thinking they are not consistent in their actions, so basically lying about their achievements or actions. It could be the energy that everyone gives off as well, it is hard to say but we tend to project our emotions externally instead of internally. So when we project our emotions externally, there is a lot that goes on with the opposite party that they may feel threatened or calm.

    But as humans we are, we are all sensitive in one way or another. Some may try to put energy into being guarded which could affect with appearance like I said in the previous blog.

    Your appearance is your mental state

  • Spending time to recharge

    Who do you spend the most time with?

    I used to hangout with the boys more frequently but now… Just once in a blue moon. Maybe it is because it is my lifestyle or just that they are busy with their own lives.

    But most of the time I like hanging out alone in my thoughts to recharge or to self reflect on how I can do this specific thing better than the day before.

    I know it is not good for your mental health if you are constantly isolated because you tend to get anxiety and depression longing for connection. So at times I try to get a social connection around me, just trying to avoid small talk with one person at a time. I do like meeting people but when conversations get repetitive I just back out… Why?

    There is no meaning towards how I can improve myself and I just get stuck in the same cycle over and over again.

    With time alone, I like to pursue my own passions or just chill in my thoughts in the outdoors where I get a bit of fresh air while thinking about my next move. This isn’t about stability but it is more about experiences.

  • My brand

    If you had to change your name, what would your new name be?

    Most people ask if they want to call me Vic when my name is Victor. I don’t mind it as I am used to it.

    But I made a nickname when I was a teenager which was called Watapple and my friends used to call me that. I used to have it as my gamer tag in almost every game I played.

    Watapple stands for having fun while trying to make something of yourself without the stress involved. This could be for mental health as well because it is about pushing boundaries while having fun as well. I do get nervous at times but that only happens when I need to learn quickly on the job.

    If I am just learning at my own pace, I just do it as I go. So basically learn as I go.

  • Memories affect how you act

    Somehow my childhood was a bit more like socialising, recognising patterns, meeting different types of people, somehow it made me a better person but I came with a cost. Not talking as much because I was always observing and probably my curiosity got the best of me.

    So I had to learn in the later stages to talk to people a bit better through some therapy. Therapy helps but only with the right person to talk about the world and your feelings about the community helps for some reason.

    But I guess if you have been in a life of violence or maybe positively then your actions may be perceived as that.

    If you have been working in a service for your whole life then it will probably be ingrained with you.

    But I guess your memories have an effect on the actions you take.

  • Using our time

    We spend of of our time trying to make money. What if… We use our time to make money and be of a service to someone to make them feel good. Somehow when you are in an industry when someone gives you a tip for a good service. Maybe we gave them good service emotionally.

    Our minds are important in order to feel good about ourselves at the moment. Whether we action ourselves or maybe it is our energy, our presence that gives off the vibe.

    Talking to people just like caring… Is not expensive or.. it is you cannot buy with it because it is intangible. But there are a lot of coaches and online gurus that probably forged themselves into making a person emotionally well and financially by giving them pointers we cannot express in words.

    But anyways a lot of things in our society involve giving and receiving even in relationships.
