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...

Random Rant: BF vs BFF

F.R.I.E.N.D VS B.O.Y.F.R.I.E.N.D Both of these words has ‘Friend’ in it, yet the meaning can be so far-fetched and different. Personally, friend is so much easy to handle than boyfriend. Justification? a) Friend will be always there since everyone can be made as your friend as long as you are willing to open your heart out and throw some jokes here and there and nod along. Basically what I do. b) Friend is someone whom you have fun with, share some stories, and have common of interest. Most of the time, you will have fun with your friends. Even in some times, maybe someone will throw some shades and bad things about you, just move on as there are plenty of friends out there that you will eventually find in match with you. c) Your expectation won’t be that high as compared to your boyfriend/lover/couple. Since they are your friends, if they did something annoying or some trivial mistakes, you can easily brush it off since who cares? You could always end up teasing your fri...

Enjoy life like a KID; Suck it like an ADULT

Recently, I had been watching a Cantonese Hong Kong drama about the girl having multiple personality disorder, which means she has different characters playing out in her life without her knowledge and awareness. One second, the crazy one will come out and ruin her normal life ; suddenly, another second one will be naively following some strangers into danger. The ‘main personality’ could not control her other ‘side personalities’ inside her body. Childish or Mature? Left or Right? Positive or Negative?            It had me thinking a lot how I talked in my previous post how people could be perceived as an extrovert and introvert at the same time, even with the same person looking on the same characteristics. This could downright display the notion that in fact every single one of us has different way of dealing something, depending on the situation faced in front of us.           In th...
