A month

It has been a month since I got back to blogging. How has it been?

I have been better as compared to before I returned to blogging. As a whole, I would say the results have been positive. Other than blogging, below is a list of other activities that have helped me “get my self, back together”:

• Dancing - I love dancing and getting back to it has been a great stress reliever. I am not a trained dancer, I just really want that natural high from my natural DOSE (dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin and endorphins.)
• Story writing - To be more specific, fan fiction writing. It has kept me more focused and I find myself learning more because I research details to make the story more accurate. I now have interest in Kyudo or Japanese martial arts of archery, though not in-depth, I still find myself reading or watching videos about it.
• Washing the dishes on time - There was a time we would just pile up the dishes and only wash it an hour or two before the meal. Recently, I started to change this habit and make sure that I wash it after every meal. “You are supposed to wash the dishes after every meal” Yes I know we are lazy, that’s why I am trying to change that. Please don’t judge. If you have been following my entries recently, I have mentioned that doing household tasks, any menial tasks, have been a struggle. Mainly because of emotional troubles, but like what I said, everything is a work in progress. Washing the dishes on time has helped me specially in the morning because I am more at ease in preparing breakfast and I seem to have more time to just be myself - not stress over dirty dishes first thing in the morning.
• Shift in social media platform - I have decided to shift my focus from Facebook to other social media platforms. It was already becoming toxic for me so I decided to move to other platforms with lesser audience and more space to express myself.

The list may still go on, I might add to the list in the future, we’ll see.

Though a part of me thinks that these are just temporary, I just try to enjoy the best of it.

I still have those moments of anger, frustrations and anxiety, though it feels more manageable and less condescending as before. Maybe I am learning, maybe I am not. Let’s see what happens.

Life goes on. Seize the day.
