The awakening
It’s crazy how the mind is able to unlock parts you never knew were there, you feel almost separate from it like a mechanic learning their way around a car. Finding new parts and mastering the skill of maintaining it. Because you, the soul inside is conscious that you have the ability to break out of that negative bubble, that you’re stronger than the evil little man in your head. You’ve built up so much strength from waves of not wanting to be alive, numerous nights wondering what the hell your purpose is in life. Nothing ever felt worth it so you begun to stop seeing colours which left your mind in a dull, senseless world. But then you realise that everything comes from you, you decide and create opportunities for yourself. You’ve spent so many years trying to kick down the door only to find you had the key all along. The awakening begins at this very moment. Everything that brought you down is now in the palm of your hands. And this moment right here is compelling, it’s like a higher force has finally noticed you and handed over the power to feel alive. The power to be happy again.

Hobbies That Improved My Mental Health
About two years ago, I had a mental breakdown during my shift at work. I worked at a call center six days a week: Monday through Friday and also Saturday. From November 2017 to the middle of February 2018, I had a job that was stressful and took a toll on me. The long hours and working on Saturdays was the start of my mental breakdown. I hardly had any time off and would work up to 10 hours on most days. I enjoyed it for a while, but it literally sucked me dry. So I ended up quitting a few days after Valentine’s Day of 2018, for the sake of my mental well-being. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety in February 2012. For almost the last decade, I was on medications for my depression and anxiety, but it made me sleepy and didn’t help. Also, I also sought help for my mental illness. However, it didn’t solve any of my problems either. So I decided to do some hobbies that will benefit mentally and also physically. Things are well with me now, but I wanted to set aside some time for myself by doing hobbies I enjoy and I’m going to share a few of them with everyone.

Following Your Bliss
‘Follow your bliss,’ they said. ‘You can’t go wrong if you follow your dreams.’ I’m here to pop this bubble and say that this is an absolute crock. Following your bliss does NOT guarantee success, just like buying a lottery ticket doesn’t mean that you’ll wake up one morning a millionaire. Sure, if you have a go at following your bliss, then do it wisely. Do not jump in head first without research, forewarning or preparation. Yes, the five ‘P’s do apply here - Prior Preparation Prevents Poor Performance.

You are Enough
In this age of social media, it can be more difficult than ever to truly get a grasp on what’s real and what’s fiction. We live in an age where there is a constant lens on image. Many of us feel pressured to live up to an ideal or picture that may or may not even exist. As social creatures we seek to fit in and be a part of society; and nowadays that means participating in the portrayal of real time “living”; that is living your life through a filtered lens that the public, at large, participates in.

When Was The Last Time You Had Dialogue With Yourself?
Have you ever thought of your own nature? What are your pure desires, or do you know yourself well enough? We always question ourselves for one or another thing. This happens because we are not sure of ourselves sometimes. Usually, this unsureness ends up in the conflict with our own selves. It is okay to come across yourself. It is okay to have the dialogue with yourself, because perhaps throughout the whole life you most likely will not able to find someone better than yourself to talk to.

"Living Your Best Life" Doesn't Have to Be In the Future
If you’ve been on Instagram or Twitter in the last few years, you’ve most likely seen the term “living your best life” thrown around quite. I actually enjoy the concept, but I do feel that it’s a bit exclusive. Who is allowed to “live their best life?” Typically, it’s people on vacation, or people who just landed their dream job, or people in a seemingly ideal romantic relationship. We flock towards all the picture-perfect snapshots of people’s lives, we say things like “Omg this is GOALS!” and quietly accept that one day, maybe we will have that same kind of happiness.

Intentional Work
I've been in situations where I didn't know how to get rid of the heavy feeling in my chest. I had no clue. There were times I was numb and couldn't feel or cry it out. There were also times where the heavy feeling spread through my body. I've had therapist always tell me; "you have to feel (it) before you can realise (it)". In the beginning, I thought what a ridiculous idea, that's one thing I've been avoiding why would I want to do that. Which then made me realise that healing has to be intentional. I have to want to heal because I had to feel those emotions to let them go. And that what I did. I confronted those intense emotions and there were times I wanted to end my life. Not because I was ungrateful of the life I had but I just didn't know how to deal with those emotions. It felt like I was going to be stuck there forever. I didn't know when it was going to end. At the time I didn't grasp the concept that emotions come and go and they are normal. But wanting to kill myself wasn't normal. I personally never been the type where I was able to let my guard down and express vulnerability, especially to the people close to me. So instead I sought outside support, from local services that specifically handles mental health issues. It takes a lot of courage to seek out help. It doesn't make me weak for seeking help. It is not a weakness wanting let go of those intense emotions.
