  • 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.

  • Socialising…

    Describe one simple thing you do that brings joy to your life.

    What I have found after being discharged from the mental hospital, I found more clarity in life. In the public system, it can get chaotic at times. After the first admission I started feeling worse than before I came in for some reason. Maybe it could be the environment I was locked in the first time.

    But nonetheless, interacting with people whether it is presence or talking, I like to feel the personality of each one because it usually makes me think afterwards about myself as well. Sometimes people say things about you directly you never knew you had and it makes you wonder what it meant.

    When I was a child I used to play with random people or with my family members.

    But now… I find joy in collecting things just for the aesthetics, but it is a plus when it goes up in value. It is just a personal collection I like to play or buy with so my room has that positive feeling when I have that item. It sure does feel like I am hoarding but… I am not so sure.

    But when it comes to interacting with people, I mostly have a giving mentality which is emotional for some reason.

  • Invest in something you are passionate about…

    Time is finite in this society. We should be using our time to service people or to make our society a better place.

    This includes cleaning up our community or giving our knowledge for our time. However I like to give out knowledge for free because what we say has no price tag on it because I believe knowledge is free. But whenever I give someone or I give someone my time, then compensation is required. I tend to use the money given towards me to create a better society whether I am buying personal goods or supporting another project for my own sake to make even more money.

    Right now since 1970, money is inflated ever since because money is taken off the gold standard thereby money is printed, so basically it is infinite.

    I mostly use money to fund projects that the world is going to or fund my hobbies for nostalgic purposes. But I believe we should recycle whatever we can with the resources available in the community to create a better mental health environment.

  • How to be seen

    I think it is mostly put yourself out there. Whether you are on social media or offline.

    The internet has given us more freedom to make ourselves more seen, but there is a con. The con is physical interaction. We all need physical interaction one way or another.

    The best way is to try to make yourself look good like hygiene or lifting weights at the gym. Also, if you are on your purpose it will make sure that you have something to strive for.

    If you feel good about yourself, the way you dress or do a makeover, you tend to feel like a different person, just like you feel alive…

    To be seen is mostly to do with discipline even though somedays you may not feel like.

    Quote from Hamza the YouTuber. “Do the work especially when you don’t feel like it”.

  • Lifting each other up…

    What quality do you value most in a friend?

    What I admire most about people is the ability to put everyone up. What I mean is lifting people up whether emotionally or financially, but you would still have to do the work as well.

    When you are young, the older folks will give you a piece of advice but when you guys are the same age giving each other information is helpful as well.

    My own friends share about financial updates which keeps us updated about the markets without us doing as much research into the markets. But me? I help them emotionally in how to manage their emotions, somehow. I do this unconsciously for some reason.

    But whether we are friends or strangers, we should all strive to give a hand to another.

  • Finding comfort in music

    Everywhere I go even in my car, I listen to party hardcore music because it is what keeps me going during the day and on my purpose.

    When you listen to a specific music somehow your body reacts to it emotionally and physically. When I say physically, you could make some adjustments to your appearance through the music you listen to everyday. Also, the items you buy could also be influenced by the music you listen to.

    I will give an example of a music I listen to:

    When I listen to the music, I feel more upbeat about life which could manifest into real life in your surroundings like everyone treating you with the respect you want.

    It is also good for mental health as well as if you listen to slow tempo types, it could make you relaxed or either make you depressed depending on your mood.

    So whenever I listen to music, music just changes my mood even though I sometimes feel lazy before a job or work.

  • Leading the way…

    I have found everyone can lead the way in one way or another. The older you get the more you can use your mind to influence people as you have more knowledge about the world.

    If you do become an influence, I feel it is best to show your side of giving to another person so that all the other people will follow in your footsteps 👣.

    However, I like to try and spread my knowledge to everyone and raise awareness about the community in solving the mental health crisis. Also our mental health is impacted mostly financially as some people are finding it hard to land a stable income for themselves.

    I am committed to everyone having a commission based job while I take a little cut so everyone can stand on their two feet and to make work or service enjoyable for each parties.

    The funds I get are also to support businesses that are sustainable to the development of society for making mental health a better place like donating money to a clean water charity, to an investment where everyone prospers financially, supports other sustainable recycling development businesses and working/supporting with small businesses while also getting my brand out there. This will be a long road but I think we will make it.

    We gonna make it

  • Respecting beliefs

    Do you practice religion?

    While I do not believe in any religion, I respect them. It gives a person whatever they believe or practice a sense of purpose or something to do.

    I believe religion offers a person hope when they are down. But most of all you should put the practice over another human being as second. This is because it does not make you cling to another person, a person a finite amount of energy they need to allocate to people.

    Whenever you are struggling with mental health issues, it is good to practice or believe in a religion because they have some important scripts that are humble enough to give hope to you.
