  • Building a foundation

    I tend to rush things usually which can affect my mental health because I am trying to force stuff which I haven’t done. The best thing I learnt was to take little actions at a time so I would not overthink things.

    This could also make you tired and unmotivated to do things.

    If you are struggling or need someone to talk to. There are always free services around, you just need to look deeper within. Since we have the internet, it is more accessible than ever before. But what you do is to try and avoid the hospital for mental issues or else it would make things worse. Because mental health is a new thing we are trying to combat, in the 1960 to 1980s mental health was not a big thing so it was harder to tell. Now everything is coming up and more and more people are talking or spreading awareness about mental health issues.

    When you slowly build a foundation for yourself you limit your mental health problems. I am not saying it will prevent but minimise the problem.

    But I guess it mostly comes from information overload at one time. Our minds have not adapted to the fast paced society we have now.

  • Think like a warrior

    What do warriors do? They serve people.

    Even if you have mental health issues, you are a warrior, because you have or are trying to conquer the hardest of them all, “The Mind”. I think we are all at war with our minds because there is so much information out there on the internet and you can easily get overwhelmed.

    About that! Warriors serve people like giving knowledge or sharing knowledge to enrich other people’s lives. Or… They could be doing service work like cleaning or restaurant duties… in a way everyone is a warrior in their own sense of mind.

    What I like to do is make some type of money but sense of fulfillment at the same time. My line of project would like to be on the mental health side of things. So it is basically combining mental health and service business at the same time.

    Strive to be your best to serve

  • 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.

  • Don’t put your eggs in one basket

    What it stands for:
    Different types of projects and sources to do

    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.

  • Coping mechanisms…

    We all have copes, for example like hobbies or addictions. If we have an unhealthy habit it is best to try to avoid it. But if you cannot then slow it down. I know it is easier said than done but try to feel the difference between when you have consumed it and unconsumed it as long as it does not break the bank. We need money to look after ourselves.

    If having hobbies does not break the bank and makes you feel good in the moment, go for it! It supports businesses and the local community around it. That is the role we play in society, that is to build and try to make the surroundings prosper.

    But somehow we do need to look after our physical health, so… I am a vaper which I should stop but it helps me cope with these anti psychotics I am on while trying to work out what to do in the future or presently.

    I do compare differences when consuming and not consuming, I just weigh the benefits and cons, but my focus is geared towards the more purposeful side.

    Struggling but focusing at the same time “memes”

  • Trying to find work

    Opportunities are everywhere if you are willing to offer your help. It is best to do it at any price as long as you make something in addition to your travel journey fee it is good enough while trying to build something.

    So when you are stuck and not knowing what to do. Maybe you should shallow your pride and do a low offer in something to try to build your reputation up.

    I am referring to people that want to be in the self employed space.

    But hey… If you are lucky, higher offers than what the customer or employer is offering them that is a plus!

    So what I am trying to do is get people to be their own boss, where I pay them in a job while I get a tiny commission. It is like work when they want and when they feel like it because we do get bored when we have nothing to do anyways.

    Turning inaction to action

  • Life is an adventure

    No matter how you are suffering don’t give up. It is easier to say than it is but what you are going through is a process to make you stronger or become successful later in the future. There is no path to what is successful but living in the present helped to slow things down in the mind without thinking too much about the future.

    I find it best just walking around the neighbourhood, just observing the environment how I could solve a problem which people need.  When you solve a problem, money will come to you whether you do the work.

    I have been in the psychiatric ward for a few times and it made me think of life in a different perspective because the environment you are in is a dog eats dog when you are the patient usually. You may encounter bullies there, who like to bully innocent people who try to mentally break you sending you into a worse state. Or? Maybe they are just not right in the mind.

    For those that have empathy or compassion, we could change their way of thinking (If we can) to contribute to society instead of taking advantage of benefits. I am not saying people who get benefits are lazy, they truly need them but some people like to take advantage instead of doing something meaningful.

    Going to random places expands your horizons

  • Copper

    Do you have any collections?

    I am trying to build a copper collection like pure copper or copper wires. I am betting on better mental health the more innovation out into the world.

    More and more people into the world, means more headaches but if we encourage people to better their mental health, then people will be encouraged to start their own thing. Their own thing would probably be technology as in society now, is a more technological based society. Thus, the use of more copper or other precious metals.

    Copper around technology

  • The truth of life…

    I have been thinking maybe there are no truths? I guess it is people doing things that are unacceptable to society?

    But the truth in life I believe is what you believe in. Like belief in Jesus or helping people. Humans are meant to eat, sleep, and work. But when we have those things covered, we should find a way to help another individual or business to at least support them by buying their products. It is better than them throwing it into waste. It is money down the drain.

    What I find is everything that is made, I think non – inanimate objects have a soul because it is created by human activity, it is created with a passion or dream, so these products should be treated with respect even though it is thrown out and reused again as clean as a whistle for the next use.

    But anything you use has a shelf life meaning it probably has a soul within the date for consumption.

    A Soul

  • Different environment, different emotions

    When I go to different places, it is a vibe I get. Sometimes it is more relaxing and sometimes it is not. Maybe when we are in congested areas we feel it is more stressful, while the opposite is more relaxed and chill.

    If we hang around a more stressful area, we tend to get more stressed or we somehow get this migraine in our head. While we see greens when we go to the environment our mind stays peaceful.

    I think our human mind finds nature like trees or grass peaceful and relaxing for us. If we are in the city where there is a lack of trees our minds tend to race.

    Even with how the environment is portrayed our emotions react to the environment around us.

    I think we humans are naturally adaptive whether it goes positively or negatively.

    The world that we live in that is natural is always best
