A bit of thought on the morning of March 5th

I just feel like sometimes, I can be really harsh on myself for every mistake, for every circumstance that I’m out of control. I recently went to school therapy because I know I need it. Rather than doing something, I spend most of my time sitting and worrying that I ended up barely studying. I don’t want to go to eat at Mather because bad food makes me feel awful. I would rather eat somewhere good because I do think that food brings me joy. I don’t know why it associates me with joy that much but it might be because going to a restaurant or dining out was how my family back then enjoyed time together so I got a lot of peace and joy from doing that. (this was so random) Back again to my therapy story, the thing I learned from my therapist is that I should give myself some time and stop being so harsh on myself. I realized today that I miss the chance of being a Research Assistant that would get paid and I was so angry at myself. I wish I started earlier, and I felt so down for the past...

Let your tears out...

Image
After a while of knowing about emotional intelligence, I learned that tears are actually powerful tools in your life. Not only does it help you to moist your eyes, but it also helps to ease your physical and emotional pain.  Furthermore, tears also hold lots of meaning for different people. Some can be tears of joy, for some, it might be tears of love or even sorrow.  For whatever it can be, that salty tear bears lots of benefits behind it like stress releasing, mood-enhancing, or self-soothing which help with calming, distress, and emotion regulation.  If there's one thing that I want you to remember tears don't mean weaknesses.  Tears are powerful.  And so are you.  So just don't be afraid to let your tears out, let it be. Let the tears lead you to your acceptance and realization of emotions.  I hope this helps those who are dealing with hard times or hiding their tears from others.  Hear's my favorite mediation guide playlist, hope you can sit ...

What makes you regret the most?

Image
I don't really have an answer to the question, the only thing that I know about it is that I just did something I regret a lot. Sorry for being that frustrated! or  not I wanted you to stay. However, maybe you could sense it too. Our work has been affected by you not once. Although it was really nice to talk to you, I still believed, this might be the best choice.  It's not because you are not good enough, it's just we are not ready .  For both of us.  I never regret talking and working with you. You are a wonderful person and you can achieve more. I believe that you just need to keep up your energy and keep ongoing. Life can be hectic!  But there's definitely space for you to trip and time for you to rest.  I hope that we can see each other as partners again once you are ready ^^ Here's one of my fav. song, hope that this help to heel you too:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjHGZj2IjBk&t=3007s

My mom is a wonderwoman

I rarely share with others my family stories, but things have changed. I now feel more comfortable opening up about it. So yeah today I will share some of it! The thing that would usually capture people's attention about my mom is that she is a single mom. She always tells me and my sister that she is not a good person, that's why she ended up divorcing my dad. But I don't think so, I think she is a wonderful woman, and life has taught me a lot about it. I'm currently taking a gap year as some might already know and how lucky I am to have a supportive mom like her. Nevertheless, we quarrel a lot, especially when my sister and I are very stubborn. Clearly, I know that it makes her really uncomfortable, particularly when she cries. She is mostly busy and sometimes feels weird when she gets time to relax because she always tries to balance between her work, freelance job, and taking care of us. Nonetheless, we always feel we are loved no matter what happens. As you can see...

Có một điều mình đã ấp ủ...

Image
Mình rất hay self-talk để giải quyết những vấn đề khuất mắt của bản thân. Dần dần việc ấy trở thành một thói quen đối với mình. Thế nên mỗi lần mà có việc gì đó phiền muộn hay lo lắng mình lại sẽ ngồi trờ chuyện một mình vì mình cảm thấy rất thoải mái khi có thể nói hết ra trăn trở trong lòng. Mỗi lần có gì hay, thú vị mình thường sẽ nhắn tin cho mọi người hay đi nói với tất cả những người mình gặp. Nhưng rồi COVID-19 đến, đa số chúng ta đều phải ở nhà và giao tiếp thông qua màn hình điện tử. Vì thế mà mình thèm nói lắm rồi, thèm được giao tiếp vui đừa cùng người khác. Đặc biệt trong tình hình các bạn đồng trăng lứa của mình đã học đại học nên chúng nó cũng rất bận, nên nhiều lúc mình cũng khó kết nối với bọn nó.  Nhưng mình tin vào luật hấp dẫn mọi người à! Nó đã kéo mình đến gần hơn tới những người bạn cũng đang gap year như mình. Và rồi podcast này ra đời khi hai linh hồn của bọn mình gặp nhau đúng lúc. Xin mời mọi người thưởng thức podcast MILLION LITTLE LOVES của Yu và Chee. C...

Some people were not listening

Being in a family with only girls and being involved in debating, never have I thought that one day I will get scolded by men. So this morning, I was sitting in my room, running through my stuff as usual when my baby sister came in and told me our slippers were disappeared and so did her bicycle.  I guessed it was the condominium management since they have been really annoyed with the fact that we put our slippers outside. So I did as I can think at that time, I called my mom, and told her things happened. Then 5 minutes later, she called me back saying that the chief manager guy was really rude, he shouted back at my mom and did not take responsibility for his action. Angry as I was when I saw someone was scolding my mom, I went down to speak to him. And yet, as calm as I was, the man kept shouting at me rudely, speaking nonstop, and never bare an intention to even listen. I felt helpless at that moment and told him at least he had to let me speak. But hell no! that man kept on. T...

This one thing I learned makes my life better.

I have participated in this Numerology course recently. I will write more about what I learned later on. But now I want to tell you one thing I have been doing to improve my life, and you can too.  My mom always told me: "Don't take things for granted.". Well, despite listening to it every day, the meaning of the sentence never crossed my mind once. Participating in this Numerology class, I was required to do a series of exercises to learn about gratitude and the power of it. (It is in Vietnamese, so if you are interested you can find it here ). The exercise was inspired by a book called The Magic of Rhonda Byrne. (I have not read it yet, but I am definitely going to). Every day, I will need to do small exercises that will enhance my gratitude, such as write down 10 things you are grateful for on a daily basis, be grateful for the amount of money that you have and the opportunities that come to you. Also, what surprised me was that gratefulness can be expressed even bef...
