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 😉

Bro stand up la!

I have been working out lately everyday since my life has bored me during this MCO period. When I started at first, for sure it was hard and difficult to push the limit since it has been awhile that I exercise, not counting my swimming routine back then. Actually, I hate any exercise on land, because I hate sweating! The stickiness of your body and unstoppable sweating flowing out of your body was just irritating for me! If every sweat droplet I discharge can kick one virus out of one´s body, this world will be at peace now and people will be back to working and focus back on our politic drama.           After going through the first few days, I could tell you some crazy things happening to me. Now I LOVE EXERCISE. I know, fucking crazy right. Now my body craves for working out. It craves for letting all those toxins, sweats and tears out of my unhealthy body. If my muscle and bones did not protest for my craziness, I guess, it has be...

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...

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...
