Direct Approach to Problems

I've been bullied by two schoolmates, verbal bullying that is, because I'm not good at volleyball, so they constantly annoyed me about why "are you not concentrated?" "why don't you just hit the damn ball" during the physical exercise classes.

My problem is with concentration, I've even been to a psychiatric clinic because of it.

Fortunately, though, it was not meant to last. :)
I talked to each one of them, and realised they didn't even meant it seriously. One of them even told me to just relax since it was only about that he was motivated for the game, so he want his team to perform well. :P

So what I'm trying to say here is that using direct approach to problems can really change things greatly, so what you have to do is muster some courage and just say "the heck with it", and do it.

You won't regret it.

Mindfulness and joy

Mindfulness brings joy to one's life. -me

This might not seem quite obvious, but the more you're capable of controling your thoughts, the more happy can you become.

Ask why

Have you ever asked why are you doing the things that you're doing? Like for example why did you go jogging today? To enchance health, to have fun?

I asked myself this question for what I do and realised that for most things I just do them unconsciously and automatically(instead of consciously and deliberately).

1.Why do I think that reality is subjective?
2.Why do I go jogging every day?
3.Why do I study?
4.Why do I play computer for 5 hours a day?

To all of this questions the answer was "Just because...". Hmm... So let's take a while to answer those questions:
1.Because I've read it somewhere.
2.Because I like to hang out with my jogging buddy, and because I already lost 2 pounds because of it.
3.Because I want to have some knowledge(no, it's not for getting a better job).
4.Because I have nothing better to do.

I hope this will help you look at your daily habits.
