  • 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.

  • Don’t think about money too much

    We all need money in society to look after ourselves to buy food or to fund our hobbies. But when we think about money this or money that, our mental state tends to get affected. Maybe this is due to the overworking of our minds…

    But of course it is easy to say money doesn’t buy happiness but in some way it does because you have firepower to do something you want.

    Even if you do not earn a lot of money like the national wage, there is always something to make your money work for you. One thing I do is I allocate some money into a stable investment which will grow overtime. I use an app called Raiz.

    So when you are off working and needing some money, there are always opportunities to experiment and gain some knowledge in order to make the money work for you thus more wealth for you guys.

    When it comes to a support role you have to be passionate about the job or else it will eat you up if you are constantly thinking about the wage you get instead of living in the moment to support the other party which is handed to you for the role.

  • Words can manifest

    Whether you say anything negative or positive about yourself and to the world. The words you use towards yourself can actually happen to yourself.

    So if you say that I am a failure to yourself, then the universe will think that you are a failure. It will happen if you constantly think about yourself unless you don’t.

    Even if you think things will not get better, do some actions that will help you achieve your goals, and there are some free services that will help you achieve your goals, not only you… But the goals you are surrounding yourself in.

    The universe has a thing for everyone that uses their words that put themselves down.

  • Finding connections in books

    List three books that have had an impact on you. Why?

    When I was done in the dumps, when my mind was not in the right place years ago through overworking.

    I took some books in the mental hospital to pass some time. One of the books I read was Think Rich Grow Rich.

    The book talks about how we should think emotionally or do an action into how we should live a healthier life through our lifestyle. It also taught me I need to solve a problem in return which would be satisfying to the soul as well.

    One problem to be solved after many admissions is our mental health system in Australia and maybe across the world needs more work because mental health is at its infantry. Well unconsciously… I am sure it happened a while ago but we are just talking about it now.

    I also read Life’s greatest question by Tom Rath and Rich Dad Poor Dad which also helped me financially and emotionally.

    I do think any books you read have an impact on your mental health whether positively or negatively depending on what you absorb.

  • Overworking/productivity…

    Sometimes it is good to overwork because that means you get more money. But there is a downside to it. We all need rest since it helps us recharge for next time we finish the task again.

    We shouldn’t be doing the same task over and over again because thats what will get us left behind in society. If we do the same task over and over again we stop learning new things and our brains will not function properly in learning new things.

    We should always be adapting, learning and experimenting because that is how we advance as a new species. Now that we have the internet and artificial intelligence, we have more productivity in growing our brand or making money more efficiently, if we go on our own instead of working for a paycheck. The sky is the limit when you grow your brand or business, it could snowball into other small businesses doing a similar thing to you to make it better and take your income away (If that is your thing to make the community a better place).

    But at times like this we should try and not overwork ourselves to absorb as much information as possible and do it in small increments to avoid a mental health history.

  • Do what you love

    When I feel like I have a hang of things, I tend to get bored of it. But when I find meaning in them, I tend to be a bit motivated.

    My blogs are about spreading mental health and social awareness out there online even offline in due time to send them here. We people are meant to have a community where we can chit chat or talk about our problems.

    What I love about this is, I am free to talk about anything that is self improvement related or just talking about my thoughts.

    If we do something we love them our body and mind will not be impacted thus, us not growing up so fast into the old age. We must keep our bodies moving so we still have our bodies fresh to look and feel youthful. I said in my previous blogs that we should always be doing something or else we fall into a deep depression or anxiety. Even if we get help from the public about those, it can only do so much because it starts with yourself.

    So what I think is that we should be giving and supporting our favourite communities in order to have a peace of mind. This giving should be mostly about what I can also get out of it as well in the near future as getting something in return.

    Presently everybody needs to pay their bills so presently we should be giving in our earlier years so we can have a better future not for ourselves, but everyone around the seller or community around us.
