Entry #10. How To Stop Overthinking.

-

 

You finally have a few quiet moments to yourself, only to immediately start wondering about all the responsibilities that await. Flooded with thoughts of overthinking about circumstances out of our control, we sink into a loop of rumination. Worrying and overthinking are natural parts of life, but they may harm our health if left uncontrolled. Learning to take control of our emotions and thoughts by involving ourselves in activity shuts down negative behavior. It can feel impossible to start something new when we are overwhelmed by our thoughts.       

                                 Amazon.com: Overthinking: How to Stop Worrying, Relieve Anxiety and Emotional Stress, Stop Negative Thinking. Use Positive Energy to Control Your Thoughts Change Your Habits and Mindset. (Audible Audio Edition): Mind Change Academy,

  • Setting aside time for ourselves might be difficult, but we can begin by setting little objectives for ourselves to achieve. Closing our eyes and being aware of our breathing, and freeing all of our emotions, finding a moment of peace, relaxation, and validation in a time of stillness.
  • Remember to radiate light and compassion to our lives and others wherever we may need it. Planting each foot on the ground with intentions and gentle love to our minds. These are steps that take us through a journey of awareness of the mind and body.
  • We must keep in check with our well-being and acknowledge the storms that come our way. We can acknowledge the thought is just like a wave, we watch it go up and then float away.

Each time we do this, the wave gets smaller and eventually roles away, just like the thought. The storms of life do not have to control us; we can learn to adapt and overcome. I hope you take this information and apply it to your life.

    Hi, Pasyn. You have some good content and ideas in your last 4 blogs, and your writing flows well. However, you are a bit brief in your development; you feel a bit rushed. Keep working at analyzing and developing your content. Good visual appeal. Keep blogging!

Entry #6. Growing Up.

-

   Growing Up                When we close our eyes and imagine our childhood, we see simplicity, laughter, and joy. We go back to where we experience everything for the first time: heartache, pain, and love. I think we can all remember a time where we looked back on our lives and wanted to turn back the clock. The thing is, we can't turn back the clock, we can't change the past, we can just change the now.  The thief is not ourselves but time. Time is continuous and cannot slow down. Growing up is never easy. You gain more responsibilities,  make new friends, and wonder what the future will bring. But in life, we cannot hold on to the past, and we have to let go of things that hold us back. The future can be scary and uncertain. When we try to escape ourselves, life has an interesting way of creating situations that force us to come back. To look at who we are. The thing is that growing brings us to a new experience with life....

A little about me :)  Hi everyone, I'm Pasyn! I am not sure how my parents came up with my name but, they always told me they were hiking in the rainforest and found a rare species of monkeys, and the natives of Brazil called them macaco Louco, meaning crazy monkey, and one of the monkeys they named was Pasyn. That story is made up, but it is a pretty fun story I like to tell.  The Monkeys   You can find me anywhere outside, I love the outdoors, and I love to travel. My goal in life is to visit every country in the world and learn about their culture and land. I also have many hobbies in life. I love trying out new things all the time. My favorites are painting, hiking, and most importantly eating! I love eating all kinds of different foods, and I am not afraid to add a little spice to them.  Though being a lover of all things, some things irritate me and get under my skin, like people chewing with their mouth full, or rudely interrupting people when they are having ...

Entry#1: Changing the perspective about blogs

-

It may or may not come as a surprise to you that you and I are very similar. Blogs; why do people read them? I wonder to myself when given my first assignment. Through consistent studying and reading, I have learned many amazing things about blogs. They can apply the art of storytelling of one journey through life, they can exercise a beneficial lesson to your financial questions, and they can even show you how to be successful in life.  Like you, I question at first why blogs were even a thing or the surprise that they were still around. I have never had an interest, until now. I have learned that blogs bring you out of your comfort zone and make you face the real world. How will you address a topic? How will you accommodate your readers? What if no one likes my blog? All silly thoughts that were simply wiped away after educating myself. Blogs provide skills with communication, gaining insight about your audience, establishing yourself as a leader, and even opportunities to create...
