Inner Peace

I just received a devastating news this morning and I didn't manage to handle it well .I guess when your emotions are jumbled up ,you don't get to think straight . But  I am NOT going to let this ruin me because after that little breakdown,I concluded that I will NOT get involved so I wont breakdown further. Its not called 'escaping reality' ,its 'finding peace' .

As to that ,

I wasnt going to let my day go down the drain just like that ,I thought of some things that can bring me back to myself and keep me calm .Annnnnnd ,

Set up a facial and spa appointment

Sometimes pampering yourself is a good solution to relieve stress. I loved their great hospitality and gentleness.The face masks and massage were heavenly ,they really know what they're doing .Thanks to the new package , they added this 'wax treatment' where they soak your hand in some hot liquid which hardens to wax after a minute which follows the shape of your fingers.Pretty cool. One of my favourite parts is when they put strawberry-oatmeal mask that makes your face so yummy! Because my face had more breakouts than usual,the steaming and extraction was slightly longer.But overall,I felt good when they were done.They also served hot bali drink and chinese new year cookies .All you have to do is close your eyes,lie down and enjoy .

Variety of exercises

After a couple of hours at home,I started to feel kinda uneasy again which was NOT what I wanted.Although I was on a day break from exercising,well what the heck?Changed into my gym clothes and start hitting on the treadmill.I prefer counting on the calories burnt instead of time,so I set a goal.From most web conclusions,sweating helps in reducing stress because that's when you let your body free instead of being tensed for so long . I did a good amount of walking,jogging and exercising.I was satisfied.Then was off to some basic Pilates exercise for the thigh and butt.Either im still a newbie or Im doing the technique wrong,but after the second repetition,I felt the 'lenguh' already and they lady in my phone was like 'Owh yeaaa keep it going,you're doing great'

 Haha awkward.

Playing musical instruments

I kinda stopped playing my violin during my SPM ,but after this little bump,I realized what I've been missing these few months...MUSIC! I'm in grade 5 for ABRSM and grade 6 for trinity ,so that kind of hard work don't disappear in a night.I took out my violin and started playing again.I cant believe my playing got so rusty since the last time.But after some few catch-ups,I got that 'feel' again and it I was enjoying.I even found the notes for Edelweiss! Music can really touch that persona in you in the way others cant,especially when you're playing it .I'm making a mental not to start playing everyday  again

So this is a summary of what I did during my hard time and I can happily say that i'm definitely much better now.However , i'm sticking to my decision. Im sure EVERYONE has their own ways in dealing bad times and i'm only on the tip of the iceburg. 

Have a great (and positive) day ahead :)
