Ways To Stay Calm

I'm sure everybody has their own way to keep calm or stay calm. I have been through a lot of situations where I did had to stay calm... believe me, it's not fun.

I do panic sometimes still. So I have to learn to keep calm.

Here are my own steps on how to stay calm.

1. Write: I feel like we need to sit down and write what is on our mind all the time. It's perfect for trying to stay calm, especially if you had a bad day. I've recently learned that you could always do a rant journal or a rage journal... write everything down that makes you mad. It's a perfect idea to stay calm, right? It keeps you from going on social media and stuff. Other pieces to write about: Mental health, stories, poems, gratitude and so much more. Anything to stay calm, right?

2. Read A Book: I feel like this is self explanatory. Reading sometimes has this calming effect on people. Sometimes, you just have to sit alone and read a nice book in peace. I know that I find reading a book keeps my mind on the book. So be sure to find a book that doesn't make you panic over what happens next, haha.

3. Listen to Music: I find this to be a calming effect. You would want to listen to chill music or nature type of music. The best type of music is listen to voices that has calming effect to you. Enya is one of those voices. And there are many more. Just search for some and figure out what calms you down. Even the sound of falling rain has a way to calm you down.

4. Take a Walk: If you live in a peaceful neighborhood or near a nature park, go there and take a walk. Take as long as you want as this would calm you down. In fact, when you do take a walk, try to let go and listen to the sounds around you. This has a calming effect on your mind.

5. Watch Funny Videos: And believe me, you deserve to laugh every once a while. It's good medicine for your mental health. Just sit around and find funny videos. Watch funny pet ones. Funny kids. Funny news mistakes and many more. There are so much to offer on funny videos so go at it and have a laugh. And share it to others to show how this made you calm down.

6. Do Something Stress-Relieving: This goes for anything like puzzles, coloring books, stress balls, fidget spinners, and many more. Anything that gives you that movement with your hand and concentrate on that item. I find that having something in my hand actually does calm me down sometimes. It could be an object that has a smooth service that you feel a calming effect from.

7. Meditate: This isn't for everybody, believe me, I know sometimes that it doesn't work. But it could work on you. All you need is a place that is quiet or with peaceful sounds of nature. Then you meditate. It helps to keep your mind at ease and away from anything that stresses you out. Yes, it can calm you down if it works for you.

8. Aromatherapy: This means essential oils. It's a good idea to use for those who need something to help calm them down. These smells can be smoothing and even be beneficial for everyday life. Just look up what oils that you can use for calming down.

9. Talking To Someone: It can be a trusted friend, a family member or a co-worker. Anybody that you know that can help calm you down just by having a small conversation. Even if it's over text, anything can help you.

 10. Spending Time With Pets: Your pet is perfect to have around for when you need to calm down. I can tell you from experience that it's worth it. A cuddle, a petting, anything can help you feel better after spending time with your pet.

 

I do hope these can help you for when you need stay calm. I'm sure there are many more ways to help you stay calm so don't hesitate to go online and search for ideas.

I hope you enjoy this different approach of my blog. I will not be doing these everyday as I am going to set up a schedule on my computer's calendar on when I can write and more.

See you all again when I can.

That's all.

Just Something I Want To Do From Now On

Hello. I am back to writing my blog, but only for a part time type.

Here's what is going to happen to my blog: I am going to update my personal blog whenever I feel like it and use it towards a career where I write almost full time.

I am going to be doing more reviews on here too for books and what I think about them.

If you see another blog within a week, that's just because I am doing something to motivate me to write more.

I will be writing full time to get things set for what's ahead for the future.

Here's an example of what is going to happen. These are not the journals but sort of what I am planning to do. I did printed out some papers awhile ago but since I am not feeling good, I won't post it.

Then I am making a schedule starting on tonight. Especially since I only have one night that I have to get off before 8PM. All the other nights, are free to do what I please.

I am going to be doing random writing prompts as well as writing my stories.

I will also have break days too so I can do what I usually do and that's watching YouTube xD

Alright, so... hopefully that I am able to commit to this and make my life better.

Especially with what is going on lately and stuff.

So as I mentioned before, I might be updating my blog at random with random stuff... it won't be every single day, I hope... but it will all be focus on either writing or reading. Then once a week, I will post my personal update... maybe... but I may safe the personal stuff for when something important happens.

See you all whenever!

That's all.

With love,

The ultimate decision of a lifetime

Now I'm sure you have been seeing posts about me wanting to change or limit my blogs... well, it's sort of true that I want to do this.

Over the past few years, since 2019, after my major surgery. I had been making decisions on what to do for my blogs. I wanted to be able to share about my life journey in life every week. I used to update every single day so yea.

There's just one problem about that. My life is at a stand-still right now. I don't want to keep updating weekly just to tell you all that there was nothing happening or exciting going on in my life.

With that in mind, I have decided to only update whenever something exciting has happened and pursued my dream on writing more. I love writing stories about worlds that I never been to before.

For those that don't know... A Faerie Journey was made to show off my journeys in life. And I am not going to give up that whole idea.

Just I won't be posting weekly anymore. In fact, I will be posting when I feel like it.

I am going to combine a bit of my entertainment blog into my personal blog as well, especially if it's something that is like a job.

I don't want to keep coming on here and updating a blog that doesn't tell anything exciting about my life.

I will continue to list stuff on my journals so that I can figure out what to do.

However, the decision with my blogs can change too. I just need to limit my blogs for now.

I want to plan out my blogs a bit more for the new year anyway... so it's not the end. It's only the beginning.

Wherever my path leads me, I do hope it let's me continue to go after my dreams.

See you all whenever!

That's all!

Glad I Got My Good News

I am glad that I got the good news that I needed on Tuesday, the 23rd.

Anyway, I am about to get things done before I take a nap.

I really need naps because of my health... I get tired easily and therefore, it causes me to get bad moods and stuff.

I will be doing another set of random questions next week just so I can keep this blog going for me.

Just know, I haven't figured out what kind of questions to myself yet... just have to wait and see.

Alright, see you all next Monday.

That's all.

Just Want Good News For Me

It's hard to believe, that I am going to be seeing my doctor for three years now... for my missing thyroid and stuff...

That's a story that I want to leave for the 5th year... you get what I mean?

However, there are people that doesn't know about my history... so I am open to questions about having no thyroid.

Like... it's just something that I have to accept in my life.

Plus, the main cause of it was cancer... and even though they got all of the cancer... I still have to be monitor every year for it.

So around this time, I get nervous and forget that I shouldn't... and well, it causes anxiety and other fun stuff...

I'll be fine once I get the news tomorrow... either good or bad... I don't care, I just want to calm down and more.

Alright, shall take a nap now... so see you all next week.

That's all.

With love,
