When You’re Stressed Out

Dear the-one-who's-reading,

If the heat is really on and you've got no escape from the kitchen, don't sweat (even more). Got it? LOL. Hilarious hilarious. Alright, you know, I know, you can't be stressed out for too long. Let's stop this.

 

    Firstly, make yourself a cup of warm drink. Whatever you like. It won't just calm you for at least a second but it would also fill your stomach without you having to dig in some junk food. Feeling stressed is one of the reasons people indulge in such thing uncontrollably.

 

    Secondly, put some concealer around your pretty eyes. Guys or girls, go for it. You need it but if you haven't got any, try something else that you think will work. Don't let those eye bags ruin your self-esteem.

 

    Thirdly, a little exercise will also help. Stretching tightens up your muscles and makes you feel oh so good. Maybe a little yoga but not the whole thing. Of course, don't forget to do the breathing routine.

 

    Fourthly, let go of what's been stressing you. What fits you more? Writing it down on a piece of paper? Texting it on your cell but never send it? Posting in on your blog? Talking to yourself in your room?

 

    Fifthly, gaze at the picture of your fav person. Celeb, family or friend. Or maybe yourself. Look at him or her in the eyes. Tell that person telekinetically that you'll stay strong for him or her. A picture's worth a thousand words. Make yourself feel better by knowing that you are indeed strong enough.

 

You've got this in your hand. Scream out loud anytime and I'll listen with pleasure. The people around you will have to too.

When You’re Angry

Dear the-one-who's-reading,

If something or someone successfully gets on your last nerve, save it for now. You'll need to be calm and rational enough to do as stated below. Give it a try, won't you?

 

    Firstly, go to a place where you're the only one there. No one should see what you're about to do. They may hear it but not see it. Express your agitation on the non-living things you see nearby. Note that you've got to do it in control. There's no need to cause permanent damages around unless it's your own item and you really don't mind.

 

    Secondly, give yourself a splash of cold clean water on the face. It can literally cool you down a bit. Dry your cute face and reapply whatever needs to be reapplied.

 

    Thirdly, it's time to cool down the inside of you. What better and faster way to do so than having a cold drink. Water is after all one of humans' basic needs. Just FYI, cold drinks aren't healthy but it's not healthy to be healthily healthy all the time, right? BTW, ice-cream will do too.

 

    Fourthly, entertain yourself with what you've always enjoyed. TV? Cinema? Video games? Computer games? MP3? Horseback riding? Exercise the muscles around your mouth by smiling or giggling your fun-having time. It's okay to even fake it for this time.

 

    Fifthly, give yourself a treat. Spend some money for it, that is. Buy one thing you want but don't need. Make sure you have enough money to pay for it. It won't cause harm to spend a little more than usual. It's for good cause. Just don't starve later.

 

Don't be angry for long. Get over it 'cos you're the best! *wink*

When You’re Excited

Dear the-one-who's-reading,

If you're really excited for some reason at this current moment, read on. Forgive me for being a party-pooper but I have to tell you that your little celebration might be cut short if you don't deal with it right. So, consider taking these steps, pretty please.

 

    Firstly, what the heck. Let your excitement run free for just a moment. Scream out but cover your face with a pillow or a bag. Jump up high but do it where you're the only visible living being in the distance of two meters around you. Punch yourself but make sure it's firm yet gentle enough. Not for too long, though.

 

    Secondly, get a glass or a bottle of plain water. Drink it and enjoy every gulp. If you happen to need to go to the washroom after that, then go.

 

    Thirdly, take a look at your reflection. See anything that can look better? If so, fix it in a brief. Remember though that looks aren't everything. They just need to be taken care of now and then.

 

    Fourthly, go to a quiet and private space. Cross your fingers and say something like "Thank you for this. I must make sure I won't waste it and regret it later. Please let it be fun and safe at the same time." Mean what you say. No pressure.

 

    Fifthly, share it with your BFF or JF or SO. Pretty much anyone. If you're at glee about it, they will be too. Make use of the phone and internet. Don't let technology be known for its hazards only.

 

It's great that you're so glowing with joy. Take it easy 'cos you don't want to be OTT, do you? Nothing lasts forever, some people say, but you can make the memory last a lifetime.

When You’re Down

Dear the-one-who's-reading,

If you're feeling sad, depressed, confused, anxious, neglected, or any sort of down feeling, take a moment to reflect on what's happening. It sure sucks but trust me, it'll be better if you just follow these must-do steps. Ready?

 

    Firstly, fix your hair so it'll look fine and so like you. Comb it, style it, spray it, curl it, whatever you think will make you enjoy looking at it through the mirror.

 

    Secondly, have some candy or sweet. The sweeter, the better. Don't worry, it won't give you diabetes right away 'cos it'll take more than that. If there's no candy around, have some sweet juice and note yourself to get some candy later. It's crucial to have some in case you need it, like now.

 

    Thirdly, take a cute piece of paper and a pen or pencil. Close your eyes for two seconds and then write down what you want to say but can't really say it out to anyone. Let it all out. What you write is only for you, the paper and the pen or pencil to know. Of course, the Big Man above knows too but He's the best secret-keeper in the universe.

 

    Fourthly, fold the piece of paper and seal it with stapler or glue or pin or tape. Keep it safe in your wallet. You'll see what it's for in the future.

 

    Fifthly, listen to one of your favourite songs. If you like it loud, then make it loud. If you don't, suit it with your preference. It's all you and no one else. The candy in your mouth should be completely dissolved by now. If not, quickly chew and swallow it. Just please don't chock yourself.

 

There. Unwind yourself until you feel less miserable. Get over it, okay. It's all good though it's really not. Peace and out.
