  • 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

  • Everyone to be mentally stable and healthy

    What is the legacy you want to leave behind?

    I want to write this because, I have been thinking about this for a while.

    For everyone to be healthy emotionally and physically, we must work together in charity organisations by donating to them. Yes! Some good be scammed. So I currently donate to WaterAid monthly, which I get a newsletter every month  in my email. By donating to their mission I feel good about myself when they are trying to make water safe to use in other parts of the country. We humans have an innate need to help one another, it is how we fulfil our purpose mostly.

    So what I want to leave a mark is “Watapple” stands for helping people for fun in general, but there could be other perspectives about.

    The more people that are healthy the more innovation we get!

    Helping Hand

  • Finding opportunities…

    In society we think we cannot find work or something to do but one valuable skill is to be an all rounder.

    This includes being a cleaner, kitchen hand or working in the office. There are endless opportunities if you are willing to learn. Personality cannot be trained but skills can be trained.

    If you have a lot of experiences into industries, you will find endless opportunities if you put yourself out there. Maybe after you leave school it is harder, but once you get the skills up and running, it will be easier to find opportunities out into the community.

    I find it is best not to leave your eggs in one basket. We humans are always made to improve and are looking for something to do. If we do nothing during the day our minds think of nonsense which in turn affects our mental health.

    My project is trying to bring people struggling with mental health over into working service based jobs as there is a big stigma attached to them while also helping with their investments based on their risk. It doesn’t matter if the money is not a lot per hour but you will be getting valuable skills into the future.

    That is why when you are young it is best to invest in yourself, while making mistakes in the process when important personal responsibilities are limited.

    Careful how you plan out your responsibilities

  • Mental health/illness cannot be cured

    I have been thinking… Maybe it is when people with mental illness cannot be cured themselves but it is part of their personality.

    Not everyone is bothered to complete a specific task. We can only encourage them to do a task. Maybe that is why there are support workers, to help them with what they are lacking.

    When they don’t shower or clean themselves, we can only encourage them. When they are on medications it does make it worse because they have side effects.

    Mostly all we can do is try to support them and slowly they will do their own self care. We also need to use our own input in a softer way as everyone is sensitive how we talk to them in a tone matter.

    Careful how we say things

  • 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

  • Personality traits in mental health

    I think in mental health, or if you are out into the mental health system the people that act the way they are that are not in societal standards we get labelled as having something wrong.

    What if it is part of our personality? And how we are shaped by our environment. Sure the community needs to be safe but putting on people on medications does not help as a lot of people complain about them.

    I think when we ask for help then being put on these medications, it just makes us worse as an individual creating a non-safer community in our society and not innovating ourselves. We should learn to think for ourselves before taking these artificial stimuli.

    If professionals have taken these drugs we would listen to them but they are just learning from the books mostly without having actual experiences about them.

    We all have personalities that define ourselves and it cannot be solved with chemicals.

    But who knows? These drugs could be karma related drugs.

    We are Complex Beings

  • Adapting

    What sacrifices have you made in life?

    While I had an almost comfortable living, I tried to make myself uncomfortable by taking cold showers and learning as much as I can in my early 20s because your 20s are still young. Cold showers have health benefits. The main thing about cold showers is learning to be comfortable by being uncomfortable is what trains you as well.

    There are about 40 more years to live freely at this stage, could increase as innovation makes place depending on how fast it takes place.

    So that is why I am buying and collecting anything copper as it is a technology innovation tool. The better mental health we have the more technical advances we make. Right now in this day and age, we are relying on technology year by year.

    I think what is best for mental health is using technology as a way to further your well being and also for convenience.

    I think what sacrifices you make most of the time is how you learn and adapt to the situation because everyone is different.

    Looking for ways to be outside of the box

  • Supporting simple businesses

    What’s the oldest things you’re wearing today?

    For some reason I like to wear generic clothes that look like I have no personality, just random full colours of clothing.

    I like to think, I am supporting small family run clothing businesses or I do shop at the flea markets for second hand clothes. It makes me feel good that I am supporting another person just trying to sell their used clothes.

    I don’t shop a lot but I shop for things I actually need. Who knows… Maybe I will buy clothes from the flea markets and just donate my clothes to the clothing charity box.

    I will wear them a couple of times then just probably just put it aside and donate it.

    Clothing is a human need of our society as it keeps us warm and at least some fashion taste on the outside.

    If the clothes ain’t broken, then it could be used again or resold.

    Generic clothing is my favourite

  • 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.
