My WHY wakes me up! - Eric Thomas Motivation

Was I supposed to wake up way earlier this morning. Still and all, did I remain introspective tucked under my bed. Either watching videos on my tablet or letting time slip by. Once more letting the chance to do something productive pass me by. Despite the fact that yesterday, I managed to share yet another inspirational video, could I not keep my word and get the heck up this morning.

 

Is this habit of not being a morning person anymore going to wreck all my plans? Not by a long shot. If I once developed this habit of waking up early, can I surely regain my spirits and find a purpose to waking up in the wee hours once more. Besides, having the proclivity of being lazy is not a good thing.

 

Should I spare no expense so as to get better. Even though, I have not been taking care of myself emotionally in the past. I believe it is time to do it right now. Is it time to pull myself up by my bootstraps and move on. Irrespective of how hard things have been in the past. Not to mention that I have promised myself that tomorrow morning, will I find a purpose to doing things early no matter what.

 

Anyhow, is it time to shift gears and talk about something else for a change. At this point you already know that I use this site not only to lay bare my feelings, but also to let off steam. Regarding the latter, my next post will be about how to control your emotions. Lastly, and to finish things up I will share this inspirational video I watched last night and promise I will not go back on my word regarding publishing my next post in the wee hours.

Why we choose suicide | Mark Henick | TEDxToronto

What is that underlies depression? Is it by any chance hardships from the past? In part, they are. Be that is it may, there is more to it than that. Negative thoughts often squeeze out that instinctual hope we all have. Not only negative thoughts though, but also adverse circumstance. In the following post, will I be tackling the issue of depression yet one more time.

 

Is it really hard for me to get a fix on what can really be done so as to cure depression. Statistics show the suicide rate is higher when it comes to people from 15 to 25 in most countries. How then, can we stop this destructive force that emotionally ravages us?. Chances of getting better are contingent not only on how much we do ourselves, but also how much support we get.

 

Some say exercise is an effective way so as to deal with this issue, others say medication. I tried to do both but still felt constricted by my limitations. Not to mention that I am not usually the one who comes off well in an argument. Unfortunately though, due to my coy nature sometimes I get myself ensnared in conflicts with bullies. It seems as though each time I pitch myself forward one step of the ladder, I then go back two.

 

Is it indeed important to keep our hopes alive. Still and all, at times some hardships impact our lives to such extent, that they become unbearable. In so far as I know, depression can be healed. Even so, some cases are more difficult to deal with than others. Ergo, the need not to hush up support from those who want help. Is it crucial as well the pinpoint the main cause in each case. Being surrounded by percipient friends and relatives also helps. Suicide rates keep rising all over the world and it's up to us to put a halt to it.

The Science of Depression

Writing on this post will certainly take a weight off my mind. Last week was  not my week whatsoever. I was given only one make up class, and had some family issues. Not to mention that on my Saturday class, an individual dressed up as Santa butted into my class while my students were sitting  their test. The guy was obviously playing to the gallery and due to my shyness, I couldn't tell him to wait outside. Had I not been advised about this unexpected visit. Not that the school should stick to hard and fast rules, but they should at least have let me know.

 

Not only the aforesaid seemingly small problem derided me considerably, but also the fact I didn't do well at the three services I attended yesterday. I usually attend two services in a row in the morning. Albeit, this past Sunday there was an special service in the afternoon called Christingle service. It is a service leading up to Christmas and child-oriented. Still and all, did  I want to attend. It turns out that a member of the church who was handing out leaflets refused to give me one, claiming that there weren't enough to go around. Anyhow, at least I got to witness the inventiveness of the pastor who came up with the idea of taking a world map to the service and making us all stick little dots on the places we were born.

 

Is it hard for me to get over this problems I lay bare. Even though, they seem insignificant they do not let me keep on doing my normal activities. Not to mention that my wage is probably going to get docked due to me not feeling well enough to go to work. Perhaps, did I miscalculated the harm some problems can cause when not dealt with right away. Even though it is hard for me to call a spade a spade most of the time.

 

Lastly, I would say that perhaps my need to cut loose is necessary at this point. Having been overprotected for so much time has really taken a toll on my health. Time is slipping away and I have to solve my problems as soon as possible. Hence, the necessity for me not to go back on my word and seek help. I cannot estimate exactly how long is it going to take for me to recover. Will I try to endure it all.

How To Forgive Yourself - How To Stop Feeling Guilty

At this point  am I up the creek without a paddle. Do I feel as if yet another opportunity to be happy had been ripped away from me. Yesterday, I hurt someone close to me. Did we engage in a heated argument and I hurt their feelings. I could not say more even if I wanted to. All I can say is that it is extremely hard for me to forgive myself at this point. Anyhow, let us now spool it forward to the topic at hand.

 

In fact I wanted to talk about forgiveness. I think one of the attitudes most of us have adopted from our ancestors is not to say sorry when we do something wrong.  Perhaps I myself need to be chastised for having hurt that person I mentioned before. Still and all, my conscience is clear now. It would not hurt though to apologize at least once more for what I did to her. Sometimes, we have to be brave enough so as to take responsibility for our actions.

 

It seems as if my own lack of judgement is snatching away my happiness. Hence, do I have to be cautious from now on. For now, what I have left to do is to alleviate the pain I am feeling right now for what I did by writing on this post. Hence, the sooner  I fix things, the better I will feel with myself.

 

Last, but not least I wanted to say that we can always turn over a new leaf. Things will come into place only if we make an effort for them to do so. Even though, a handful of people and I are on the same wavelength. I can tell what they need and they can tell what I need. Thus, we help each other by having confidence in one another. I think if we learn to reciprocate kindness with kindness. Especially among those closest to us, we are on the right track.

7 Key Habits to Achieving Your Goals and Increasing Revenue

I was meaning to wake up at 5 this morning. Unfortunately I forgot to set my alarm and woke up at 6. Still and all, there is always tomorrow. I have been feeling depressed on a recurring basis, so I decided to post something positive for a change.

 

Has it been hard lately to get a grip of myself. Even now do I have regrets about not having woken up at 5. That's beside the point though. Let us move on with the topic at hand. Worries about the future have been nagging away at me recently. Not to mention that when I get to see younger people than me who are successful, it really tears me up inside. Not necessarily owing to me being jealous, but due to the realization I get about having wasted so many years of my life.

 

Was I getting revved up at the start of this month due to having gotten a new class to teach. Unfortunately though, it got cancelled. Not only have I had fewer classes to teach, but also a lot more time to think about the past. Have I been told that I spend too much time skirting around and not focusing on the root of my problem.

 

Albeit, it is hard for me to identify which problem I exactly have. Not to mention that with all the matters I have to attend to, I lose focus about how to solve my problems. Some thorny issues still lie ahead ready to challenge me. Hence, do I have to be cautious and progress little by little. First things first. For now, I have to focus on my health. Anyway, I wish my parents had hassled me to study more when I was a child. Perhaps that way I wouldn't have ended up the way I have now.

How to Play "I Spy with My Little Eye"

Have I been under a lot of stress due to some unfair changes in my new job. Not to mention that on top of that, a class I was teaching got cancelled due to groundless complaints from immature students. Was I teaching a basic 5 class, and handing out work  sheets almost every lesson so as to reinforce what my students were learning. Still and all, they were not satisfied whatsoever. On the contrary, they complained because they said that the content of the worksheets was not on the book. Of course it was not, they were exercise sheets. Albeit, it is impossible to reason with mindless students who also thought I had to create a rule where there was none in verbs followed by gerunds of infinitives. Anyhow, I feel as if this class was wrested from me owing to the lack of sense from my supervisor.

 

Now that I have got it out of my system, let us just moving on to the topic I am tackling today.

As have probably heard from me before, I have been teaching children English for a few months already. Needless to say that it has not been an easy task. Albeit, did I want to share with you some ideas so as to tackle this issue. For instance, warm-ups or lead-ins such as jokes and fun games are a good way so as to get the class ready for the lesson. But what to share with the student?

 

Well, there is a game called "I spy with my little eye" whose rules I am going to explain in a video I am going to share. It is used by teachers to either warm up the class or wrap it up after an stressful day. Not to mention that it is an easy game to play that does not intellectually challenge young learners to an overwhelming degree. Thus, making it fun and does not only benefit the brighter students at the expense of the less capable ones.

 

 

Lastly, I would like to add that even though there are lots of more games and activities such as "20 questions" and "Simon says", I just wanted to focus on one for this post. Even so, will I be talking about some more in the upcoming posts. Remember, this sort of games not only make you think better of boring your students to death with grammar lessons. but they also give you the chance to kill some time when you are running out of ideas by the end of a class. May our eagerness to come up with new ideas for our students not be tempered by monotony.  

Is Homosexuality A Choice? (Educational Cartoon)

Things are picking up. Still and all, do I still have a long way to go regarding job stability. Not that I want to undercut my own efforts .Even, I think that I still have not found that happy medium that I need so as to keep a balanced existence yet. This time around though, did I want to talk about Homosexuality. Is it a very controversial topic. Not to mention that I am only going to scratch the surface of this topic on my post.

 

Have I always thought being homosexual was something you were born with and not something you acquired or learned. Do still think that; irrespective of what some people would believe. Still though, should I have to put down to science so as to give a valid explanation. For instance they say that when twins are born, there is 90% of a chance that the two of them might turn out gay. Albeit, one can still end up not being that way.

 

To my mind, I would regard homosexuality as being genetic. My reasoning is as follows: Most children discover which sex they are attracted to when they reach their early teenage years. Hence, I will be inclined to believe the same happens with homosexuality. I think that rather than a choice it is something people are born with.

 

To close things out, I would say that scientist still have a long way to go so as to unravel all the mysteries of homosexuality. Still and all, I believe all studies will conclude to the same result. You cannot choose whom you are attracted to. It is a matter of breaking through the fog of doubts people create in their minds and researching more about the topic.
