What’s your favorite recipe?
I guess we all have to learn, I guess never stop learning by reading books or educational podcasts. If anyone wants entertainment then it is free or just a pay for someone else’s work.
But I mean it is best to expose yourself to a variety of things which then you can put together to create something to solve a problem to make more money in the meantime which people will pay if you solve their problems.
I believe we should follow the rules of the system and that is how our mental health is intact. If we believe all these theories eventually people are going to drive you crazy because it is best not to know other peoples business too much unless it is honest work like serving food or doing construction.
In our society we need constructions to be built in order to maintain a steady society and treat everyone as kings and queens in society. I mean everyone is different with different personalities but it is how we make these personalities shine.
When we have second hand goods we want to buy, if they are still usable, we can brush it up like paint it or sand it then it will be near new. Also it looks new! It is easier to say than done because I do not do that yet but maybe in due time I may try this.
I collect cables used for copper and just resell them to scrap yards but right now I am just keeping them so in due time they will go up in value. I may even store them in a storage unit for fun while supporting the business as well. I also collect bottles and cans, so after I drink them, I put them in a bag to take them to a recycling facility when I have a lot.
There are a lot of ways to recycle over in Sydney, some are cheaper than others or some you could make money out of but when we recycle we tend to make the environment more friendly as in not using a lot of resources that are not used on earth.
When we recycle we also make another life for these items for us to consume.
Recycling can also give us good mental well being as it makes us think we are contributing to the eco-friendliness of our society and also to give us a purpose to lean on.
What’s the oldest thing you own that you still use daily?
My oldest thing I use is my car, the other things I use are a bit newer as they break down or I lose it. When it comes to collectibles it is older than my car but I do not use it. It is mostly for personality in my room. Somehow when you put different things in your room, it creates a specific vibe, could be homey or other traits.
I use my car daily mostly for business purposes, to make money of course. My car is used for agile purposes in order to create the purpose that needs to be fulfilled. The purpose is making people with mental health issues or vulnerable people a chance to be their own boss.
My car has been pretty reliable so far… Without much maintenance, just an oil change or a top up of fluids which I can do myself.
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.
What fears have you overcome and how?
In my earlier years I have always been fascinated about money and how to make it but by bit. It is not much but making something online was really satisfying in the early years of the internet.
I was trying to get people to click on my link and I made money from it. Ever since as I grew older I have been having this financial pressure to have this amount or that amount by the age I am at.
This is probably due to the social conditioning of the internet.
Right now I still face some issues but it is another kind of issue now. We all have a fear whether it is financial or have nothing to be a part of.
But I have overcame it by researching or practicing daily at how things work in the stock market or crypto market. Now… I changed my strategy as in I am going to buy something for the longer maul. Before that I used to invest in something in the short term which affected my mental health sending me to the mental hospital.
I think I was pushing myself too much to the point of insanity. Right now, I am slowly going day by day to consume some useful information instead of absorbing too much information which I may forget.
I feel like when I am touching something that is natural it makes me feel good for some reason.
Natural includes: Water, plants, and dirt.
When I do a job or service that includes those above, my mental state reveres back to normal or a feeling that I accomplished something. It probably goes back to our early ages of always being around with nature, instead of being surrounded by carpet or plain walls. It is something that makes my mental state feel good at the moment.
I think if we touch something that is tangible but is living, we tend to feel good. This goes with dogs and cats, our minds always need that natural stimulation. If I am in a more suburban area like in the city, the vibe is totally different.
What I think for our mental health is to play with grass a bit more. It does sound rude but… If we play with grass or greens a bit more then our mental state will be geared towards a positive state.
This comes in terms of income, if you put too much of your time in one thing, it may or not work out. It is best to have another source whether you make money or not.
In the past I kept focusing on the stock market (Penny stocks) all day in business hours when it opened. So what I would do is refresh the page every 10 seconds to see if it goes up or not. It drove me crazy, because I kept focusing on the price of the stock. It made me inpatient as I had nothing better to do as I was sitting in the office in my full time job just to get that little hit of dopamine. Eventually it did drive me to the mental hospital which my first time experience was not a good one. Best to avoid going there as a patient.
Right now, I am more focused on finding different types of work in different places while writing blogs in my travel journey from there to here or something. I do have other things going on… I will probably share more in later blogs when I have my mind straighter.
