So Who Moved My Cheese?

Happy Lunar New Year! I forgot to greet anyone and for that my apologies.

I wasn't in the best mental state yesterday that I didn't get be social or productive as much as I wanted too. It got so bad I was that I even posted in a messenger group asking for help. My friends were there to help me out and for that I am grateful, but to be honest I don't want to do that anymore and it's not sustainable. Let's be honest folks we will eventually not want to hangout to someone who is perpetually depressed. So I picked up an old book last night to be productive and as luck would have it's Who Moved My Cheese? by Spencer Johnson.

A quick background about the book according to Wikipedia, it was published on September 8, 1998, is a bestselling seminal work and motivational business fable by Spencer Johnson. The text describes the way one reacts to major change in one's work and life, and four typical reactions to those changes by two mice and two "Littlepeople", during their hunt for "cheese".

I just finished the book just now. It was a very quick read it for it took me less than an hour, so I recommend it to everyone. I digress though, reading the book got me thinking on where my life is right now.

There was a lot of big changes in my life the past few years and I am still reeling from the effects on me. Sadly I wasn't ready for these changes. I didn't foresee the changes and adapt to it quickly. I was blind to the stagnancy and complacency of my behavior. I paid the price for it dearly and even then I didn't change myself immediately, I was angry, depressed, and stubborn to the changes. Someone moved my cheese and I was not happy

Thankfully I was now learning adapting to the changes now. It's not as fast as I would like it. Most of the time it's two steps forward, one step backwards. But I learning that it's okay have that as long as I am going forward. I am learning to smile and laugh on the things that has happened in the past. Hopefully one day these things would be good and funny stories to tell friends. I am getting there and I happy now. I hope to find new cheese soon.

I hope you find your cheese too.

WIFI Dependent

It's Friday night! The weekend has officially began for most us. No matter how you want to spend it I wish you had a great time. Technology is such a wonderful thing. It has our lives a lot easier and comfortable. We can talk and connect to love ones even though they are far away from us. More than a dozen tools now fit on the palm of your hand. There are downsides of course and one of them is our dependency to WIFI. I just don't mean internet access, what we "need" is fast internet access. I have very limited internet access right now and I was surprised at my frustration and anger. I need for my work and I wasn't getting my work done because of internet problems. I realized how dependent I was. I think I need to change my attitude and perspective on these sort of things. Especially in channeling my frustrations. How about you what do you do when there's no wifi?

Ratchet: My Favorite Autobot

Image
  As a kid born in the 80’s, I grew up watching Transformers G1 cartoons. It has made an impact in my life that I decided to dedicate the month of March to be a Transformers theme month. Expect for the blog posts to be related to Transformers for the whole month. According to TFWiki, in most of his incarnations Ratchet is the Autobots' Chief Medical Officer. There have also been a lot of interpretations to his personality from having a party-loving nature with a dry wit to a war veteran scarred by the brutalities of war.  I always wanted to be a doctor when I was a kid and while kids would often choose Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, or Grimlock, I would choose Ratchet and since no one chose him I felt he was my Transformer.

Importance of Therapy

My life has been for the most part an adventure, but like most adventure there are hardships and challenges so it's inevitable that you take some damage and trauma along the way. Sometimes you need help in dealing with this issues and that's where the experts come in. I have been in therapy for a long time but thankfully now is more for catch and monitoring rather than the more serious stuff. Here are some things I have learned during my therapy sessions You have to do research on your therapist and it's okay to change if you're not comfortable with him/her. I had a couple of therapists over the years, some were good and others not so much. They have their own areas of expertise and there's nothing with finding them out. Don't also feel guilty if you need to change therapist for variety of reason. The priority is your mental health. Be honest during therapy. I cannot emphasize this enough. Your therapist is not a mind reader if you are not honest or open to your...
