  • Thinking fast

    I have been In a fast paced environment ever since I was 8 years old, helping out my parents at the restaurant. It taught me hardwork can get me anywhere but now with the internet, it is mostly about using your mind to make even more money.

    But maybe… Being in such an environment made me who I am, been at the hospital and always pacing around doing odd jobs. That is where I got into vaping about 3 years ago because I needed to slow down and reflect for myself. Even though the anti psychotics is making me think faster for some reason so vaping is the solution. I know it is not good but it helps at times.

    So I think that my mind always needs that constant stimulation and fast paced to keep me entertained. It is like an aredaline for my mind.

    Of course this is not good for mental health if I keep up like that but maybe I am used to it by now and probably no turning back.

  • 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.

  • Having different projects…

    How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen?

    I am not sure when it is time to unwind when I am feeling well. When I am feeling unwell, I take it easy… We all should.

    But when I am passionate about something like making money or being a service of people, it just gives me more energy to do something.

    When you have nothing to be a service of… You just get bored because you have nothing to do. That is why there always has to be a boss somewhere so they can tell you what to do or want you to require something.

    To make my unplug happen, it is just unpredictable because I tend to push myself. My fear is being left behind most of the time.

  • 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.

  • Finding purpose in what I do

    What jobs have you had?

    I have been working since I was in my 20s, from a full time job to odd jobs now. I find meaning in when I am getting compensated for my time while working towards a common goal. It does not need to be luxurious but something that has an impact on society.

    If my work helps another individual to their goal, then I am satisfied but then I have to think about the cost of travel and some other utilities. Everyone has to look after themselves after all.

    But then sometimes it may not be enough because we are wanting something more than just the specific work. If you tell the boss or employer you want to leave then, don’t feel guilty because you have already fulfilled your role in the position you were in. I try not to feel guilty but it is what it is.

    No amount of money is enough to satisfy in whatever work you do, so you would have to make your own work, starting with a project then you will end up creating more jobs in the future thus making the community more abundant in 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

  • Losing yourself…

    I try to not lose myself when I crave artificial stimuli like porn or eating a lot of junk food. Right now… I am slowly trying to consume as little as possible as it is not healthy towards my mental health. There have been studies shown as well but most are shown towards healthy and unhealthiness. I guess you would have to experience it to know.

    When you are on antipsychotics or anti depressants, somehow they make you lose some parts of yourself you once have. Even usually your family members notice it as well.

    When I looked up Reddit forms there have been some cases like this so I am glad I am not alone. There is one thing that they cannot take from us. It is our souls, our way of living, giving and contributing to society.

    When you lose yourself, take it step by step and try to formulate a new you! So you can contribute, well into society and foster better community care.

  • Don’t underestimate yourself

    Sometimes I strive to achieve something in the world, like solving a problem. Reading this book called “Lifes greatest question” by Tom Rath really made me think if I could put out something into the world, the others will follow unconsciously or consciously.

    Reading other books really helped me reflect on my well being as well as some problems I need to solve for myself as well.

    We together should work as one in making the world a better place like recycling as well as supporting some causes as long as it does not break the bank.

    If you have fear of no money by the time you retire, you shouldn’t fear because there is always something for everyone to be looked after. I think if you support a cause or do something positive for society, the universe will look after you whether they do or do not know about it. This could be unconsciously people know you did something based on your energy or body language you put out.

    These are just thoughts but I believe if you help another person positively then the universe will reward you two times.

    I think of this as an investment in yourself.

  • When you have something to fight for…

    When you have a purpose to do something it feels like you are not afraid of doing things that are out of the ordinary. It is similar to when you have anxiety, that anxiety stops you from doing something because you do not have a reason to fight for the cause. But when you have a reason to do something, that is to help out the society, you will not feel like an anxiety within you like social pressure. For example collecting bottles have a stigma attached to it, like homeless people collect them. But when you have a reason for yourself like collecting cans and bottles is helping the environment stay clean and also helps them from going into landfills to be used as recycling, you will not feel that pressure.

    Maybe when you are first starting that is out of the ordinary… But when you find a reason within you… You will have an excuse for yourself.

    This goes for other areas of life and the actions you take.

    For a reason!

  • Respecting your work

    I think when you do things properly and it goes the way it is planned, it would feel a sense of accomplishment. Whether you are cleaning a dirty house then you tidy up the place and the place is more spotless. It may not go as planned but it is cleaner and you will probably do minor adjustments to the place.

    When it looks like you want it to, the personality of the place would change and your mind would feel at home or at ease.

    Even when you are cleaning someone else’s place, you are helping them free up their mental space because when there is too much clutter their mind races and they do not know what to do. That is when you come in to tidy up the place and when the place is clean, the other party “Thanks” you for completing their inaction to their place. Also this helps them with their mental health as their minds will not be running around in circles for their inaction. It is understandable that they feel not actionable to tidy up the place.

    Respecting peoples place will create less drama therefore less stress to all parties involved.

    I feel like the word “Respect” means listening to another person’s tasks or feelings.
