Well, hectic uni schedule is back! But I thought I should update this online journal of mine with words of wisdom. Let's see the things I learnt from the past weeks.#1 Be positive!
Being positive always makes you feel hopeful again, believe that it's not so bad, that there are ways to get around the failure and reduce the impact. It reprioritises your mind to the actual problems rather than just be sullen. I can see and feel that by forcing myself to think positively, I become a much more confident person and that is really wonderful because I kinda lost my self-esteem since I started my degree. This is a new start! How did I make myself think positive? I repeatedly tell myself that 'it's okay, think positive, calm down, think positive'. I try my best to eliminate all the negative thoughts and focus on advancements that I can make.
I know there are people who say being so positive is not that good too because it makes you overlook certain things and become a bit overconfident. Well mister, I say you don't really understand people. As a person, everyone is unique and has their own set of needs to overcome their hurdles. Being positive is my defence mechanism. I have been pessimistic in my life, and I didn't see much significance it brought to my life. I hate pessimism.
#2 Rediscovering passion
It's great to find back your old passion. I like drawing. It's my way to escape from the stress. I usually spent hours on my drawings. During those hours, my mind thinks of nothing, just what should be on the paper. I don't really think much when I draw so that moment, everything on my mind is silent and I calm down. Some people sometimes wonder of the patience artists have when they're working on their art. But making art is addictive and peaceful. What more when the end result is satisfying.
Ah okay, now I'm lazy to type and think of possible things I've learnt. Maybe next time when I'm freer. Btw, oats with chocolate skimmed milk is love. :)
