Well, there is actually nothing much for me to update. Even though CNY is over, my family is still in the festive spirits and will gather at somebody's house for dinner on the weekends. I am still enjoying every moment of my life right now, so much so that I thought I should document this in my blog so that should I feel lousy in future, I have this to remind me that I can be happy.
The thing goes like this... It took me quite a long while to understand what causing me to feel down and panicky easier and I have learnt to accept who I am and what I have. It's a long story and I won't share the whole story here but I guess there's a saying that goes: When you reach the top and can no longer go higher, the only way is to go downwards. To cut the long story short, I used to think of myself as the perfectionist where I want everything to be in 100% condition. Sometimes, I want it to be even more than 100%. Some people may think of that as a good thing but I guess the only one who feels the strain is no one but ME.
I became a little haughty. In fact, I thought I was the cream of the crop. Yes, I was once good in something. But because I became too obsessed in doing that thing, I ended up neglecting other areas of my life, i.e. my well-being. Am I mentally and physically in good condition? Is my emotions taken care of? Not exactly. I felt grumpy and it took me a while to be happy.
Enough of all these emo stuff, the point that I want to put across in my blog is I SHOULD BE HAPPY!
If the future me decided to read this again, "YO SALLY! WAKE UP! YOU ALREADY HAVE SUCH A GOOD LIFE! WHAT NOT TO BE UNHAPPY ABOUT! LOVE YOUR LIFE!!!!!"
I think I should get the point now LOL. Anyway, I am really loving my life now. I look forward to each and every day. I wake up in the morning feeling optimistic and I think I owe that to exercising and I have to agree that it is a great way to relieve stress and maintain good spirit.
I try to walk and sometimes jog every morning or evening. In fact, I kind of look forward to my daily walks because it feels so therapeutic to walk in the cool wind (it has been pretty windy lately), admire the full moon, count the number of stars and saying "good morning" to all my newly made 'exercise' friends (basically, they are uncles and aunties LOL).
The best thing is, I actually feel less tired after exercising and more energetic. I don't feel that sleepy in class during long lectures!
My life, I'm lovin it!
