Choices

'In the space between yes and no, there's a lifetime. It's the difference between the path you walk and the one you leave behind; it's the gap between who you thought you could be and who you really are; its the legroom for the lies you'll tell yourself in the future.'    - Jodi Picoult

Today, I want to talk about choices. In our everyday lives, we make decisions for practically everything. What should we wear in the morning? What breakfast shall I have? These mere yet important decisions actually, surprisingly, determine the start of a beautiful day. For example, if we choose not to have breakfast, we might suffer from gastrics later ok the afternoon but if you had chosen to have breakfast, you are most probably able to carry out the day with a fresh mind. In general, choices can be said as a stepping stone in a life journey. 

Why do we make choices? 

There are instances where we need to make a quick yet wise judgement. A situation that requires the need to be decided with different choices. 

Making the wrong choice 

Though we make choices all the time, there will be a time where we make a wrong choice. For example, mixing with the wrong company. Making a bad choice may result in dire consequences. And at that point of time, our walls start to crumble. We start to lose hope and wonder what's the solution to end it all. Yes, I've been there. Everyone has probably been there. But what keeps us going is the mental strength in us to believe the reasons behind our choices. We may have made a wrong judgement but there's always a turning point as long as you're willing to learn and treat this as a lesson. 

Believing in our choices

A choice that you make may not necessarily be approved or recognized by everyone and in here, I'm referring to a choice made with the right principles. We start to hesitate and wonder if we should forsake our decisions. But remember that when the world is against you, you need to prove them wrong. Prove to them that you have made the right choice through your actions. Because nothing will start unless we do.

Learning from our choices

Regardless of whether we made a right or a wrong choice, be grateful for the consequences because you're likely to end up with either a blessed ending or an ending which proves as an important lesson to instill values in us. 

To end it off, remember to take charge of your life and make the right choices for our destinies lie in our hands!

Post Concert Depression

Okay so yesterday was literally the best night of my life💖 I had bought tickets to EXO's The Lost Planet Concert in Singapore and was basically screaming the moment I entered the stadium😭 ( as in how do you expect me to stay cool and calm like a cucumber when I'm finally seeing the people I've only been seeing on a screen😭 ) 

Anyway, the moment it started, everyone was waving the silver light stick and wow. Just one word. Spectacular😻. When the members appeared at the starting, I could hardly even believe my naked eyes. Am I really seeing them? Are they really EXO? I was shocked, surprised or even crying tears of joy ( I don't even know😭 )

I'll just upload 2 pictures because 

1) there are fans who take pictures from sites without credits

2) that isn't the main focus of my post today

But I wasn't too sure whether it was a dream. It felt surreal enough to think that I'm finally seeing them. At the same time, it was as if the dream had ended and boom. Back to reality. When I woke up this morning, I felt a little empty. It's like everything's over. And it might just be the very last time of my life. I'm not too sore when these emotions will die down but for now, I think I'll still be a little lost and a bit of everything.🙍 But one thing I know for sure is that this will end until the second time I put myself through this torturous obstacle once again😌

We're only humans :)

I guess humans are humans, aren't they? 

At some points, we feel like we're not good enough or people around us make us feel inferior. It's the human mind, I must say. It's a basic instinct to feel a little down after knowing that you're not good as others or it's just you feeling that way. Different emotions in 365 days. It's important to feel sad because we're only humans and that it shows that we do care at times. But It's even more very important to know the reason behind certain emotions. 

Ask yourself. Why am I angry? Or why am I sad? Why am I feeling this way? Is it because someone had upsetted you? Or is it just one of those  bad days? 

I can't list out every situation and to provide solutions as to why and how. 

But here's five ways that might hopefully help you :

1. Do something that you enjoy.

Sports? Music? Or simply just staying home and treating yourself to a good sensational book ;) Go out there and find something that you like to do. We're all  of different characters and growing under different situations but I'm pretty sure that each and everyone of us has something to develop and you can take that first step to something bigger than what you've ever imagined! :) 

2. Laugh Out Loud

Even the best medicine in the world can certainly never beat this, I must say. LAUGHTER HAHAHA !!!!! The best way to relax and stay chill is to just laugh your way through phases and really, try not to be too tensed up all the time for you might be actually hiding that fun self in you. Laughter's not that hard to find though. All you have to do is to dial a favourite person and start chatting away and before you realise it, I certainly guarantee that you'll be feeling better in no time! Because a laughter a day keeps the mood swings away!  But wait, note that you should try to get back on track if you're laughing like a mad man every second HAHAHA ( did I make you laugh ) 

3. Eat and Exercise

The realistic idea of being happy is to treat ourselves well just simply because when our bodies are in a good condition, we naturally feel better. Just like how a bad hair day would affect how we perform for the day. It really goes down to what we're especially particular in. Eat more vegetables and treat yourself to a tub of ice-cream on certain days where nothing can really make us feel better. Fruits would definitely be the best source of fibre too! 

We all know having to wake up early in the morning to jog is definitely a chore but it's said that the human mind tend to be wider awake and fresher as we exercise in the morning. Take the effort to wake up an hour or two earlier in the morning to jog around your neighbourhood or simply stretch at home to loosen up your tensed muscles in the morning! Plenty of plain water will definitely do the trick to have brighter and clearer skin and of course, keeping the body in good condition and shape!

4. Keep track of your life

A diary would be the ultimate key. Keeping track of the things you do each day helps to set your goals and to achieve them step by step. 

Take a short 5 minutes to recollect the events that had happened recently and note them all down on a book! Or simply in your handy phone! As we face different phases of life, there are times where we need to learn how to sit back and think about the happy days but when we're done, it's time to move on gurl!

5. Be positive

Nothing can be better than having good thoughts. Mixing with our loved ones and having common interests to stay active and naturally, we'll start to have dreams and work for them. By having good thoughts, the people around us will feel comfortable and will certainly enjoy our company! Look at beautiful things happening around us. Birds chirping, the lovely sunrise and a hearty breakfast. Being optimistic will allow you to feel good about yourself and the way we should treasure ourselves every day! Start today by thinking and feeling good!

6. gasps* I think this is really necessary although I've added another way though 

Be yourself.

To love the people around you, you have to start by loving yourself and just be simply you. Don't let what others say matter to you. Laugh and joke around a little, it definitely makes life easier rather than having to think over every small little thing and in turn, affect your emotions! Don't hide your true self for real friends or loved ones will definitely be standing by you regardless of what happens. 

You may be imperfect but hey! Everyone's imperfect too! Show your skills and improve on your flaws as you take every day by a step. 

Isn't that what life's all about?

Best of luck to each and everyone of you!

Remember to stay happy!
