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 😉

YES Pain YES Gain

‘No Pain, No Gain’ has been a rather common heard idiom that someone will say while encouraging others to be more open to challenges and try new things so that more opportunities and experiences can be gained. This is ME  from The Greatest Showman           I have always been so open to new experiences that my life motto is “LAI!” to every challenge or rants my friends threw at me. “Lai” means ‘come on’ in Cantonese. Like, how I sometimes call out my poop in the toilet. The irrational and reckless Vivian will not consider the consequences and say YES to every fcuking dare people threw at me. This can lead to some really terrible consequences. Yet, I never did learn my lesson. Because of something I hold dear to, NO REGRET!           I led a really adrenaline-rushing year in 2019, because that year the rebellious, egoistic, careless monster was controlling my whole body and so...

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...

What's scarier than you do the same thing over and over but you are still doing it

  If you are born and raised from an Asian family, I am sure that 99.8% of you had been forced to attend some sorts of extra classes or advancement courses to “improve” ourselves while we were young (0.02% were probably crying their eyeballs out to get their getaway card). There is a Malay saying: “ Melentur buluh biarlah dari rebungnya .”, which means that learning in a tender younger age is the best way to cultivate and nourish skills! It’s especially applicable for Asian’s KIASU personality or more specifically Chinese people???           I was definitely not excluded. I was sent to swimming lesson for my mom stating that drowning was very possible in this world covered of around 71% water. Hence, my mom sent every one of us siblings to learn swimming in a very early ages. Other than that, art class and taekwondo class since I was in primary school were attended too.           Truthfully, I am not here to ...
