Too late, my time has come

Howdy. Blog. Yes.

I didn't keep my promise the other time by forgetting to blog, chill, i am here to make it all up. I want to write something, i've been thinking about writing (or blogging, if u like) the whole day and now that i am actually in the process of doing it, i feel accomplished. Cheap thrill, really.

At least its get me started, gets me hyped up on something. Life's so mundane these days and it makes me wanna inject some life into it. But those dammit physics and chemistry and maths and whatnots are obstacles. What can we do with obstacles? you may ask. I say we disarm them, remove them from the face of this earth.

The sad truth remains: Things aren't as easy as that.

But i have the confidence to say i have made my studying much more enjoyable than before. I do not know if my methods have been more effective than before. I shall allow CTs 2 to validate and affirm my methods. What i have been doing is that i am associating mugging(HOLYWTFBBQ!@#$$), OR rather studying with things i love to do. As crazy as it sounds, i actually like to read about psychology, about how people react to events. Yes, i like those too even though i love arsenal and arsenal news. Its all gotta do with the mind, setting short aims and making your journey seems shorter works. Personally, i feel it has to do with people's nature of always seeking the comfortable and shorter route out, hence amplifying the effect of illusions i created for myself.

You probably be thinking "wtf, hes gone mad from studying. Call 995". Perhaps you are right, i'm reading quite a lot into this inner mind shit. Hell, i'm even exploring stuff i dont even know if they are correct but i'm loving it. It makes me think, expands my map and stimulates my creativity and widen my expansive section of my mind. I like this feeling, even though there is no validation if i'm reading or researching the right stuff. I do not need the validation. I need the joy i can derive from it.

This is what happens when people stay indoors for too long. I sleep at unearthly hours, waking at similar hours, i do my usual waking up stuff (like breakfast and swearing at the neighbour upstairs for cooking balachan. I mean why must people cook balachan when i am slping? They should have the initiative to cook that smelly shiat at 8 am, not 1 pm when i am waking up). The TV will be on and i will watch some sports with my mouth slightly open before i drag my body into the room where the laptop is already, amazingly, turned on and waiting for me to click. Thats it really. Unless there was an urgent need (this needs no explanation), i would not leave the comfort of my chair and my room.

OK, i admit there was exaggeration at some parts but you get the idea. I love staying indoors now, which is due to the fact i have been going out of house too much the past few months. Studying like a worm in my room feels like a real holiday. Pretty sucky, you may think. But i do what i deem fit (or fat, haha).

There is a routine of some sort. I wake up every day (notice i avoid typing morning cause i dun wake at mornings anymore usually) and the first thing i do, other than opening my eyes, is to switch on my trusty tablet. It has become a habit. Bad or good, you decide. I read somewhere that if you do the same thing for 21 days constantly, it will become a habit. Meaning if you wake up every morn and do ONE (yes just one) physics qn, straight for 21 days, you will find it easier as time go by. Somehow, your mind will force your body to react to the stimulus, devour it and configure it until it becomes auto-pilot. This is certainly food for thought. Now you wonder why you cant stop gossiping about your friends, you've been doing it constantly for 21 days thats why!

Sometimes, you have to take some measures to correct bad habits. Visualization helps. A lot. Now what i am saying here is not imagining YOU and your CRUSH walking down ORCHARD ROAD SHARING an ICE-CREAM...






STOP






Admit to yourself now. Did you have that scene flashing through your mind for a split second? 99% of people would say yes. The other 1% is lying. This is the power of words as influence. It makes you create images, illusions, in your mind. Words influences visualization and sometimes such visualizations can be detrimental. Imaging your mind would be a better way to phrase it. You may also prefer Fantasizing. I dont wanna bore you with the technical terms behind it, hell i am not even a pro in it. Is it amazing how i just expand the map in your mind? =)

Thats not the visualizations i wanted to bring across. I wanted to bring across the part of visualization where you just close your eyes and think of doing the stuff you do not like to do. (c'mon its not that hard right. Physics, chem, maths..) Keep thinking.
NOW! change your visualizations to doing things you love to do. Remember that feeling and replay the images you had in your mind when you were thinking about the stuff you do not like to do.

The results differ from individual to individual. Usually, the mind is just not fast enough to assign the correct feelings to the correct images. Using this technique can make you feel better and more focused at times.

If it doesnt work, sorry, just treat me like a blabbering fool. That might work!

Man this has been one of the craziest and longest post i've written for a long time. I sincerely hope you wont bookmark this page and name "rambling geek who thinks too much blog". But if you really have the urge to do it, go ahead, i wont be angry.

I promise.

Really.

=), till next time.

P.S. I like this post, its one of my most truthful ones. I'm not saying the prev ones arent truthful though. Peace out, i love you all readers.
