Start Exercising

♫ Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head ♫

BJ Thomas 

 

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head

And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed

Nothin' seems to fit

Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

 

So I just did me some talkin' to the sun

And I said I didn't like the way he got things done

Sleepin' on the job

Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

 

But there's one thing I know

The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me

It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

 

It was raining cats and dogs when I woke up this morning. I'm sure people are happy that it finally rains at the right time, on a Saturday morning which gives them the opportunity to tuck in a little longer in bed. Don't know why but it reminds me of the song above. 

 

Yesterday, while I was on my way to work, the radio newscaster reported that Malaysian Meteorological Department foresees that there will be flood in the upcoming weeks due to the monsoon season. So, to all my readers, always remember to bring your umbrella with you J

 

Time flies. It's already mid October. I'm finally determined enough to restore my jogging routine after a long hiatus. Some says that exercising is a way to release tension and stress. I did a little research and found out that it's true.

 

Exercise can decrease 'stress hormones' like cortisol, and increase endorphins, your body's 'feel-good' chemicals, giving your mood a natural boost.

So what are you waiting for? Start incorporating exercise in your daily life! I have experienced it myself. I thought I will feel tired after exercising but the truth is that I felt more energetic and calm after it. I know most of us have a busy schedule, but stop finding excuses of not exercising. You need to start allocating a part of your time for the day to exercise.

One of my ex boss used to share her marathon experience with me. Despite being exhausted, it all boils down to how determine you are to push further. I can easily relate this to life. We cannot be lazy and should constantly push ourselves to accomplish more things. You might get the additional boost from your family and friends. But you got to first do your own part.

 

Try Even If You Fail

It's already Sunday! Got to admit that weekend comes and go pretty quick.

 

I’m blogging from dr. CAFE in Citta Mall right now. Apparently San Francisco Coffee (my initial plan) has closed down. Figured I’ll still share the picture below with all of you although the Coffee Mocha and Low Fat Turkey Sandwich were nothing to shout about.

 

People who have known me for quite some time will know that I really love coffee and Jazz music. I think they are the best combination ever. Sipping on coffee while Jazz music is played behind the background keeps the mind and body in a relaxing mode which eventually allows ideas to flow naturally.

 

For the past few months, I’ve learnt to appreciate small little things that happen in my life. Although small, they never fail to put a smile on my face. I do admit that things aren’t always going according to plan. Sometimes things fall apart despite you trying really hard. But I’ve also learnt to accept and try even harder.

 

I’m going to share a technique which I’ve picked up lately. Every day before going to bed, reflect everything that happened to you that day. Fill yourself with blessings for things that went well. For things that didn’t go well, take them as challenges to do better tomorrow. Tell yourself that you will overcome the challenges one day, bit by bit. You’re just taking a little longer time than others. Also, feel fortunate because others might not have the experience that you have gained from the challenges.

 

Believe the technique, don’t be lazy and repeat this every day! Soon, you’ll realize that you have more reasons to smile rather than frown J
