Unstress me

Considering that its no longer the busiest. I want to let myself be free from any type of stress. So I am finding ways to unstress myself.

Lying back and reading through random blogs, I always learn something new. Topic is about learning unhappiness. We seldom experience this with the stereotypes that society has placed on us. We begin to be self-conscious of little things that might ruin our day. Small things really (i.e., not looking good, gaining bit of a weight, too conscious of what you wear, working hard but not getting enough of what you expected, etc.)

Focusing on what makes you happy is simply forgetting what other people think but how you really feel and what is happiness for you. A lot of times I keep on dragging myself to do this or to be that. Giving myself deadlines but then I keep on procrastinating things. At the end of the day, it all boils down to what makes yourself happy.

I realised that these are just simple things like going home early and not working too late. Then cook a nice dinner, watch reruns and treating myself with a nice dessert - perfect way to keep me satisfied. Not worrying about work or how I keep my ego. Those are just rubbish thoughts that shatters my sanity.

I also learned that there are couple of things that can make your day much better. I read through 12 points raised by a random blogger but I realised that this 3 main points below are something that can ultimately renew your spirit and make you happy both inside and out.

1. give something that you love (in short, make sacrifices) - it maybe in the form of money to charity in lieu of shopping, time spent on working (assuming your a workaholic) to meet with long lost friends or just to make company to sad sad people, or simply being in touch with reality and what you can offer in return;

2. walk along a park and appreciate nature more -connect more with mother nature and this time you will be able to appreciate things that you have taken for granted most of the time; and

3. give yourself 5-10 minutes inner peace. Close your eyes and relax. - i guess there's nothing greater than having a moment with silence. you will think more clearly and let all stress release by itself.

I reckon those things once done can really help in finding happiness within. i might do those things tomorrow. So if I'm not on my desk, you might see me on Hyde Park walking with closed eyes and giving money to everyone.
