Except it's the rate at which the price of fuel is increasing then you're not taking it seriously enough.
Our great grandfathers trekked through kingdoms dear. I honestly don't see why you can't just trek from Costain to VI.
I have a friend that calls me "His Antidote". We have probably known each other for 8 years. You might wonder why we're still just friends when we already call each other very deep names ( For fear of my mother reading this blog, I'm not going to say what I call him) Well the reason is unknown to me cos' my face show and my shoe shine but maybe it's because I don't have a big "P"ersonality.
Warning: This blog will be full of reference to memes and viral tweets. If you don't understand what you're reading, I really can't help you dear.
The point of the deviation; He calls me that because I always have a way to just calm him down. He is not a hot head but he dey quick vex sometimes (don't we all). All I have to do is tell him to Relax, Take a deep breath, Don't give people the satisfaction of seeing that they're getting under your skin and Last Last Everything will be fine. Also giving him a few kisses and stroking his hair also helps but let's not go too deep into that.
Ladies, stroke that man's hair today. Even if there's no hair massage the gorimakpa. Your own man o. My hand is not there.
Some studies have found that having your scalp rubbed can increase Serotonin-the feel good hormone- which can ease pain and boost your mood. You've learnt one thing today. You're welcome.
Not until recently did I find out that I also get upset easily. Frustrated rather. When things don't seem to be going how I want or had planned for them to go, I just get irritated and start to fuss and lament a lot. I also recently found out that I too need "an antidote " * for lack of a better term. *
We all need someone to complain to and just pour all our frustrations out, someone to listen and tell you that everything is going to be fine. Even though you've heard that a lot, hearing it from "your antidote" just feels better.
So tonight * or whenever you finally read this blog post * I'm going to be YOUR ANTIDOTE! Exciting right?! Yeah I know I'm actually the best.
We're just going to do a bit of an online therapy session. I'm obviously not in the same room as you are (if you see me outside don't say I should do this for you please) and I can't stroke your hair and allow you to rest on my chest and listen to everything bothering you, but what I can do is be your online antidote.
Everybody needs love. Everybody needs a friend. *Sing it with me.* Everybody needs a shoulder they can always lean upon
That is my church song. If you copy it I will know.
Okay back to relaxing.
With everything going on in the world today, it's very understandable that you would have worries. What is life without worries. But allowing those worries to consume you and take away the light of your days is what becomes bothersome. Even the Bible says "Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Therefore do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself".
So everytime something, someone or a situation starts to overwhelm you, instead of getting worked up and starting to get grey hair over worrying, take a step back and reevaluate the situation and decide if that situation actually requires your precious energy or not.
I too good hello! I'm also available for private therapy sessions. If we can do the session in the Maldives then you don't even need to pay me fr.
Take Deep Breaths.
Relax.
You know that situation where you want to fight with your guy outside (or any random person) and your babe suddenly jumps in front of you and she's like;
"Mike look at me!"
"Look at me Mike. This guy is not worth it "
"I'm here babe just look at me "
"Calm down baby.Just relax"
"Mike focus on my eyes!"
"Infact let's just go babe"
She might look and definitely sound funny but she's just trying in her own way to pacify the situation. A lot of times it works. A good number of times she might get caught in the middle of a crossfire. Don't be that guy. Follow her home Mike!
The point is whenever you find yourself close to loosing it or on the verge of going on a rampage, take a few seconds, close your eyes and think about how unimportant this might be in a couple of days( hours even), take a deep breath (the kind that comes from breathing in deep within your stomach and breathing out loudly). If you can do the Zen sign with both your fingers while you're breathing in and out it would help really channel that energy we need. And just Relax.
I know it's easier said than done but truly the first step is saying it. Learning to control your emotions is huge and not letting trivial things affect your thought process and your mental wellbeing is truly powerful.
Step away from whatever situation is threatening your peace of mind. If it is a situation that stepping away is not really an option (like academic stress- I don't want to hear any relationship is stressing you please), find people or things that can balance out your stress. I for instance, found a lovely group of girlfriends and podcasting. Jesus also helped me a lot!
Look at the economy. Is this really the time for relationship stress?
The most important thing is balance. If you get upset over something two times in a day, there should be 5 other things/people that would put a smile on your face.
So remember, only you have power over your state of mind. Take control over your emotions. Stay calm. Stay focused. Stay positive. Take deep breaths. Find your antidote. RELAX.
