  • Doing our part

    What’s the first impression you want to give people?

    First impressions do count towards the relationship with the person. I mean I have burnt bridges before but I do this as a learning lesson to myself. There are many people and businesses in the community which we can develop our relationships with. The first part is harder but it gets easier overtime.

    When we do our part it is more about developing ourselves or to do our part in recycling something or to do a job for someone to make ourselves useful in society. Of course we have to do something we hate at first which we do not realise at first but I guess as time goes on, we might look into or create other opportunities for ourselves aligning with our values.

    Even when I do ubereats, I think it would be temporary but my mindset thinks that my jobs help small businesses or businesses in general get their product for them and also to get sales for the businesses from what the customer orders.

    Parts of what drives the community and businesses

  • Winter months

    What’s your favorite month of the year? Why?

    Winter months do not look like this in Sydney central

    I prefer winter months because you can walk around in clothes that do not make you sweat. In winter having showers is a killer but when you dry yourself up it becomes comfortable.

    In the cold you can cuddle yourself up in warm blankets making yourself comfortable instead of the hot summer sweat which makes your room stuffy.

    In a way coldness builds resilience because your body builds more tolerance to stress meaning cold. This may be good for mental health because the more stress you put in your body, the better you handle life’s stresses that come your way.

  • Thinking about how to make things better

    Working keeps the depression away

    Usually it is good to think because it helps prevent dementia. But when we think we should use it to take action which will be unknown because there is no roadmap.

    I guess we all have fears of the unknown but you never know if it pays off or not.

    We all strive to be our own boss because it is similar to an illusion of freedom. In a way when we are our own boss, you work for customers instead of an internal boss, so it will be external.

  • Pokemon cards

    What’s the coolest thing you’ve ever found (and kept)?

    I like to buy them in packets and opening them because you never know what is going to be inside. It is the unknown that makes me excited. In a way it is good for mental health as it keeps the happiness going.

    But some cards in the packets can be worth something so you also get your money back in a way or even more.

    I like to collect them for the artwork and the type of Pokemon because I used to watch Pokemon back in my days and this fulfils the nostalgia.

    But who knows… I may sell them or just keep some until my death just for the funtimes in cards.

  • Being useful to society

    No doubt when you think you are useful, then you will think you are useful.

    There are always jobs and things to do in our community while getting incentives. The incentives are what motivates us most of the time. Incentives can be a form of money or something that satisfies our cravings even when we give something in return. It does not have to be a form of money but money is what gives us a reason to live most of the time.

    Being useful can come in being a blue collar or white collar worker because everyone has a role to play in society. It is not like we can multitask only if the business is small enough for you to handle.

    Of course if you want to expand and make more rewards then you will need to sacrifice a bit in order to get the bigger reward. The reward can be money or legacy in which can be passed down in generations to come.

  • Use of leverage

    In our mental health I guess money is usually a factor into our well being. It is good to get educated about money not finance but money itself. Finance is mostly theory but does not teach you how to multiply your money.

    There are many ways to leverage your money, it could be a form of house, stocks, cryptocurrency or any other illiquid items like Pokemon cards or silver, etc.

    Being able to use leverage and having backup options to always have work makes you unstoppable because you will always have something to do instead of being at home scrolling through your phone. But leverage is being able to take risks at first because in a way, everything is a risk.

  • Illusion of energy

    Types of energies, which is an illusion

    When we have a calming energy as in like a calming vibe. This includes body language, or voice tone.

    It tends to make people comfortable with you. In a way it is stoic, just as remaining calm at pressure. Life can be stressful as people’s energy can tend to be chaotic at times and even worse when there is news about a market crash which makes everyone fear for their lives psychologically.

    We should use all the tools we can even if we break the rules ie. Not following social norms. But as long as it does not harm or bother other people it should be fine. If you pay for a space or product then it is all yours.

  • Being locked in

    I know I have repeated this but just in case some blogs are missed but when you stay in your home for hours and days at a time, you may be lafagic or even depressed. We all need some natural sunlight or a natural environment to feel alive for the sake of our mental health. It is similar to kids playing in the sand and mud because it comes from nature.

    I guess when people say when they were kids they used to get down and dirty in the mud and sand and say those were good times because nature makes life simple at the moment. Sand and mud is just sand and mud.

    So when we or anyone that works at home putting a computer beside your bed may not always be the best idea because we are always stimulated by a change of environment like seeing someone walking in the neighbourhood or just having a bigger space. Plus it is more breathable instead of being closed up in your room being stuffy. Not the stuffy as in breathing but stuffy as in mental space.

    When we have a bigger environment to work with, we can think more clearly and bigger because it is similar to a smaller environment, small thinking and a big environment, a larger thinking. The bigger the space of an environment, the better for the thinking.

    This is all in my opinion.

  • Knowledge based improvement

    What podcasts are you listening to?

    I mean there are a lot of improvement based podcasts. But any podcasts that provide value to myself, get a listen to. Even when I listen to them ads popup so, I sometimes just let the ad sit in the background so the podcaster can make some extra buck.

    As for the podcast I listen to is mostly about finance but a mix of economy, self improvement like details of how to find purpose in this world and keeping up with the modern society podcast based.

    Listening to podcasts helps me portray the society in a different light and helps me get my head out of the sand and think more rationally in a business sense. It also helps to listen to some environment green theme podcasts as it helps to understand the broader view of society of what I am trying to achieve in mental health.

    With not as much resources doesn’t include money but mostly manpower for my purpose, because my business model is a bit complicated. It is mostly making everyone work together. While I do have some form of manpower, it would be nice to have something behind me in what I want to achieve but maybe I could leave that until my future me.

  • Clothing and internal vibes

    I guess it goes without saying but a feeling when you wear a specific set of clothes, you somehow feel the personality of the colours and patterns to yourself. It also helps other people perceive you what personality you have on the day you wear that clothes.

    I have tried this on myself when I wear clean sharp clothes, I feel sharp and the opposite which then is a more chill vibe. I guess this will have to do with your body shape and head as well to integrate that look but I do feel like the body type and head is more important than the clothes you are wearing.

    I have observed as well when someone wears a specific type of clothes like PJs, they will be sleepy chill. It is not like they can get an excited talk but it is a feeling of sleepy chill excited yell or talk for some reason.

    Colours and patterns can alter your mood and how other people perceive you or it
