  • Having self respect

    If you are lacking self respect yourself the whole society will not respect you.. well maybe unconsciously. It is because you give off the vibe that you do not respect yourself or look after yourself.

    I myself do have some things to work on like quitting porn but I am probably addicted to the stimulation. I know it is bad but it is just hard to get it out of my system. I tried it years ago… Which went well for a couple of months then my urges hit me sending me to the mental hospital. I am not too sure if you are supposed to let out those urges but I will leave it to another story.

    Having self respect is not about having a flashy lifestyle or buying expensive products but it is mostly about meaning. From the time you were born, what given purpose were you supposed to do to change the world? It could be anything that solves the problem of the community. Small things like selling and reselling could be one… It does not look like a skill but it helps the one person who needs the product on hand urgently instead of waiting for the product to arrive.

    Another example could be offering gardening or labour services to another person which will greatly contribute to another person’s time to finish the job. So basically saving time for another person.

    If you can achieve this, then you will probably have more self respect for yourself. This will not be instant but will be gradual.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Personalities of people with mental health

    I mean everybody is different. I do think people who get labelled with doctors diagnosis like bipolar or depression for example do not like being labelled as such because it ruins the perspective of themselves.

    Even when I was labelled as having psychosis I thought I was a crazy person because of the words embedded on me.

    I think the medical practice should treat everyone as people with feelings without giving them the labels. It is a bit complicated but what I have found is treating everyone as if they were your friends. I know you have to be professional at times but vulnerability is important so people will let their guard down free to express their feelings without any problems.

    In this society we are caught up with everyone just trying to look after themselves without the vulnerability, it just makes us even more depressed as if we are robots without complex feelings.
