I love WORKOUT! Perception changes me! All about the IQ


Recently, I have come across an article about how mental exercise is as much important as physical exercise. It can give you an out-of-the-world satisfaction. There are 13 ways briefly mentioned in the article to practice the mental strength that I have found some of them reciprocates the same with me surprisingly: love a good challenge, focus on what is in control, venture out of comfort zone, have true confidence, embrace change, no fear no regret, and crave for feedback and criticism.

      It is always mindset over anything. You believe something and then your subconscious will be more willingly to do that something, instead of carrying that notion without any action.

People surrounding me always perceive me as a very confident person and I have a smarties-ass look on my face. My English can be viewed as quite good by my friends and my family, but people do not realize what I have done behind the ‘success’ of it. Actually, I take a lot of efforts for 10 years, from reading English fiction books, listening English songs, and watching English movies with subtitles on. My daily lives are full of English vocabularies and new grammar learning skills. Even if I am born in a Chinese background family, I would always take my leisure time to indulge myself in the English world.

Everyone has a natural trait or is learned gradually about stuff differently. When you have extra difficulties to learn English, I might face the same thing on learning Mandarin. When people are born to have a smooth and fairer skin, I struggle with my skin condition that I had to work on it while the others don’t. We have different stuff to work on but what we have the same is our perception and our good mindset to place in our brain, so that without putting out the negativity and depressed comments around, work you ass off about it. Fix your weakness!!!

 

 

On a side note: People who know me understand that how big love I have towards swimming. When I know I can’t swim no more during the Movement Control Order (MCO) period due to COVID-19, I turn to something which I hate the most: running or workout at home – which involve sweating a lot. I keep rejecting it at first because I hate the sweats and tears literally, which swimming wouldn’t happen. However, in the end, I am able to turn the thing I hate most to the thing I look forward to doing it on a daily basis. I love workout now! My body aches and actually likes it! It’s like the adrenaline rush that gives you the pain and pleasure at the same time. It’s a good pain 😉

Mental Health 0.1: Are you an Impostor among Yourselves?

  Disclaimer: This post is not related to the current trending game: Among Us, at all. (how I wish it is…). Okay. Back to the topic:           “Man, you don’t DESERVE all the applause!” “C’mon you are not even THERE yet!” Another voice comes in: “Nah, you just get LUCKY only! Do you really think this is good ENOUGH?”           Sometimes, all these voices come from people around you, but most of the time it comes from the voices within yourself. If you feel that way after managing to finish a task or achieve something, I guess you get a little bit of impostor syndrome.           Imposter syndrome means the lack of affirmation of yourself after able to achieve something or complete a work by proven facts. You view your own success as being someone’s work. You view yourself of being lucky to be able to get a new job. You do not validate your o...

My Funeral

This evening, I was reading If I Stay by Gayle Forman. I came to one chapter where Mia, the female protagonist found out that her little brother died later, following their parents' path. Mia wanted to go with her family so that no one left behind. "What would you do if you had to choose?" The chapter continued where this incident made Mia think all the good old family memories. She re-winded a past story that her parents talked about having their own fantasy funeral whereas Mia has to play in their funeral instead of the songs where they played on CD player for ALL funerals. If someone who died like reggae songs, the funeral should play some  Bob Marley's songs. If someone who died love pop songs like me, no doubt the Top 10 Billboard songs should be on the funeral. If someone who died cannot at least got their own wished funeral that represented their life, it's like killing that person all over again with all those insincere eulogies or generic c...

Your Life Your Decison

Let´s say person A has a wealthy, rich family and lives a luxurious life since young. When he hits 22 years old, he is already the CEO of the company his family inherited to him. Meanwhile, person B lives a middle-range family, lives off by his parents´ hard work salary. When he hits 22 years old, he needs to juggle few jobs in order to sustain his living and his family´s too. Would you say that Person A is more successful than person B ? Person B is less luckier than person A? Person A can enjoy his life whereas person B can’t?           That’s your own perception. Your stereotype was haunting your mindset and point of view towards the people that may be living hardship of the life without your knowledge. Who says Person A never work hard from behind to upgrade his family’s business? Who says Person A doesn’t have stress and burden so that people won’t judge him like we all do? Who says Person B always save his m...
