  • Fear makes us physically sick

    I have been sick my whole life. Not the emotionally sick but the physically sick. I don’t feel like there are any symptoms, it is a bit complicated.

    I think if you have a lot of fear and anxiety and you are trying to suppress it, you blow your nose pretty often. It does look like you have something wrong to the other person but to yourself… There is nothing wrong.

    I feel like when you hold back your fears and anxiety you tend to show some symptoms of sickness but you are not sick at the same time…

    But I guess if you have a healthy mind you get a healthy body…

    Balance… So your whole body functions

  • Finding Peace…

    When I do something I love, I tend to find peace in what I do. Why? Because I am passionate about it.

    When you are passionate about doing something it gives you a sense of euphoria you cannot describe. It is like you are walking with purpose. This may include just writing blogs or making money solving a problem in the community or maybe just having fun in general.

    We all have a role to play in society. Don’t think that you are useless just because someone said so…

    If you have work that you are passionate about, you shouldn’t be useless but useful because you are inspiring someone else to be better than the day before. Of course we need a job to pay our bills so we can support ourselves.

    But if you want a different route then try to solve a problem then eventually you will make money from what you are passionate about.

  • Learning from each other

    Are you a leader or a follower?

    Knowledge is power but you have to think about how sometimes knowledge can be priceless whether it is from random encounters.

    Everyone has the right to be a leader or follower, it is what makes us have a purpose in life. But I like to be in between a leader and follower because it opens my mind to a variety of perspectives. Noted how I said there is one world in a person. There is a lot to learn about from someone because it is how it shaped them.

    No matter if you are successful or not, it is always helpful to lend a helping hand to someone emotionally as it could offer them a new perspective or knowledge in life.

    In between two worlds

  • Unmotivated…

    When I start to feel unmotivated, I try to find opportunities to do something like finding a one day gig. The gig I found is the application called “Airtasker”. The application allows you to post and find odd jobs like helping people around the house or odd deliveries.

    The purpose of this is to serve the person wanting the job done in exchange for currency, so I could further expand my project or look after myself.

    Being unmotivated can factor like the food you eat or the environment around you. It does get tough if you are actually unmotivated but you shouldn’t let that stop you.

    Me? I am on medication at the moment and it makes me feel weak and unmotivated but I try to not let it stop me. I mean everything has a price. I counter that by vaping. It is not a good habit but I find it helps me keep grounded in getting someone else’s job done.

    Unmotivated could be a mental illness thing but I think! It is the type of medication you are on.

    There is always stuff to do even if you feel there is nothing to do, it is just taking the first step then the rest will compound itself.

    No finish line.

  • Moving slow…

    What’s one small improvement you can make in your life?

    Previously, I have said everyday we should strive to do something that we improve our or the well being of others everyday. We can start by the little things by buying a product that is inexpensive or giving valuable knowledge to one person.

    Personally I like to improve emotionally and financially but by bit everyday, not by trying to go from A to Z but by going A, B, C.

    It stabilises our mental health by going slow. If we are going fast then eventually we will get burnt out and all these emotions come up like anxiety or depression.

    So what I like to do is reading daily podcasts or walking around absorbing what is in my environment during the day.

    Balance is key whether it is financially or emotionally.

    Remember nothing will come about without work!

    Be ready! Always improve!

  • Start with the little things

    Compound effect of taking action

    Only when you are doing something like a project or being out and about will satisfy you. It does to me because when I treat myself after something I have done, it feels rewarding just like feeling like a child.

    If you are doing nothing then having a snack does not feel rewarding because what I find is when I am hungry or stave a bit, every little consumption feels rewarding. You will also feel depressed or a bit down when you have no tasks during the day but… That builds up everyday when you are not doing anything for your goals.

    If you have nothing to start with, something as little as getting a gym membership and building your body up then probably think what you should do when the goal is fulfilled. I mean also in business sense, the more visitors or income it gets, the local community thrives with your gym payments. This is something to think about as well. It is like you are contributing to society 2x from what you have started.

  • Being independent

    What does freedom mean to you?

    What I want to do is be free to do what I want to pursue. It is to make everyone and everybody free to talk about their mental health, whether it is anxiety or depression.

    I think both men and women have a hard time talking about their labels because of their reputation. But there shouldn’t be any judgement on our part when we listen or lend a hand to those with mental health issues. Even the person listening could be suffering and just looking for some reassurance.

    I sometimes do struggle with mental health because it is not the way it is planned, when I have made a goal but the goal can be left to my future me.

    I define freedom as being of a service to other people or helping out another fellow person while I receive emotional or physical presence.

    We should all strive to be of a service whether you are independent or not.

    Priority to be of a service

  • Acts of service

    For our well-being, we should focus on how to be of a service to people whether it is being an employee or being self employed. Everybody wants something out of it, one way or another but if we dig deep we can open our minds to another layer of being a service.

    I think it is making the persons involved to make them feel good in that moment in whatever you are doing.

    For me, I like to help out and I get something in return whether it is money, service or products in return. As long as the return I am getting keeps me going, that is all it matters…

    Money is like energy

  • Money for something

    Theres a lot of opinions about this. In Australia a lot of people prefer to do nothing on the day than to work for less than minimum wage 

    My thinking is… If you have nothing to do on the day, why not just do something, at least it covers more than enough for transport to get to the destination. But I guess if you are building something maybe it is best to take it easy.

    But anyways, it is better than nothing while you look for something better. I use the platform called Airtasker, just some odd jobs here and there but I guess it is better than nothing.

    We humans are hardwired to seek out to do something  but if you just sit at home all day, you are just going to get depressed. I have done this before.

    This is my thoughts.

  • Mental health illness labels is how we interpret things

    I have been of this lately…

    What if our mental illness or label that we get is the way we think that are outside the society norms of what we think is normal.

    Maybe… In games or mediaeval times there have been wizards, and all types of fantasy characters. What if… Those types of characters have been turned into mental illness labels.

    I guess it’s like a spiritual thing or what we are sent to earth to.

    To give like personalities to life on earth. I think it’s our right to be like this because it gives us purpose in life instead of suppressing it.
