How I Recharged Myself With A Video Game

It was a long morning. One of the longest board meetings took place this morning from 8:30am till close to 12pm (lunch time). I found myself hungry during the meeting with questions testing my willpower and decisions constantly being made. I guess I found myself in a sense of decision fatigue and a daydream of wanting to sneak out of this meeting. During the meeting, I decided to multitask other work on my laptop because the meeting was an online one. Bad idea, I found myself even more tired as more things began to fight for my attention.

By the end of this meeting, I believed a nice big lunch would get me fired up to get back to work with a clear mind. To my surprise, I found those acts extremely difficult ending up eating lunch by myself and scrolling through Facebook and Instagram. These were not the activities I had imagined myself doing after the meeting. My head was hurting I felt like I needed a nap. I laid in bed in my room wanting to rest but thoughts kept entering my head until finally I remembered I had recently purchased a Nintendo Switch. I picked it up and found it low on charge. Wanting to start right back up, I started charging it and decided to dive into a game of Crash Team Racing. Now this fired me right back up, losing some matches and making progress in the game slowly reawakened a fictional world in me for a bit to a point that when I returned back to real life everything looked so fresh and I felt so excited to just jump right back in!

As an encouragement to the tired out there with challenging mornings, try playing a video game or a racing game for just 1 hour preferably a game with a decent story mode so you know you're making some sort of progress but won't get too addicted. Here's to more energy and focus when you return to work!

Why I Stopped Blogging For A While And My Life Restart For 2021

 Besides how crazy last semester was and the current pandemic of things, I honestly didn't want to try anymore. I had created too many walls to even start. I spent majority of my time rediscovering myself. I missed who I was before this pandemic started. One setback I wanted to let people know about was that this was my first time not going home for Christmas and spending the holidays alone in my college dorm room. The rest of this post will elaborate on the events that took place. I felt like I became Batman. Stuck in my hole without anyone. I turned to anime specifically very dark anime. I stopped majority of my habits I had developed last school year including blogging or making Youtube videos. I stuck mainly with working on my art drawings that I had created the past school year. I slept late and ate junk food especially McDonalds. At one point, I felt like I had essentially fallen into a rut. However, this was only the hard parts of the story. I saw myself grow. Social media s...

Why You Should Say "Hi" First

Ever walk down the street and see millions of faces you don't know and just wish on the inside that you had the courage to talk to people. As an introvert and shy guy in general, I have struggled with this problem for most of my life and all of that slowly started to change the moment I decided to take initiative and say hi first. No one will wait for you to say it. I found it to be more of an instinct that occurs the moment I lay eyes on a close friend or acquaintance. It helps with easing the tension when our brains recognize a familiar face. If you struggle with social anxiety, this may help you ease those worries but the best way to do it still is to recognize that you need to reprogram your mind to see social situations in a different light honestly. The only exception to this is someone who ends up ignoring your presence entirely as you acknowledge them. It is a very dissatisfying feeling but there definitely are people like that. Don't worry about them, they aren...

What I Learned About Life From Watching "Codename: Kids Next Door (KND)"

Image
The Kids Next Door (KND) is an early 2000s Cartoon Network TV show that was based on the idea of kids with their endless creativity teaming up with their friends to fight off their enemies who were regularly adults. I know this concept seems a bit convoluted but it actually is a lot more understandable than it sounds. KND only fights evil adults that treat others badly because not all adults are bad and not all teenagers are bad either; it is the acts of unfair treatment or cheating that causes this team of operatives to spring into action and save others, specifically kids. They are similar to the Men In Black or the James Bond for children giving them a voice when no one could at their age. When I was a kid, this show had an amazing impact on me! I couldn't believe how awesome kids were creating amazing tree houses full of all kinds of amazing technology. In modern times, things have only gotten better as kids are becoming even more creative through social platforms such as Tik...
