Feeling a little moody today.. hate that feeling.
Anyway, i came up with this little test myself.. the How Contented Are You? hahaaha.. silly right but somehow it brightens my day a little.
K, i have 2 columns - (1) I'm contented because... (2) I'm not contented because...
So here' s what i wrote:
I'm contented because...
- I come from a complete family
- I have a grandma who really dotes on me
- I have several true friends and they are really nice to me at all times
- I have friends who will offer a helping hand or listening ear always
- I have true friends at work
- I am quite an optimistic person
- I have a job which offers a not-too-low salary
- I have a car
- I can afford to buy most of the stuff i want
- I have students who truly care and appreciate
- I am not a complicated girl
- I am able to open up to people
- Some of my friends say that it is a joy to hang out with me
I'm not contented because...
- I do not communicate much and well with my parents
- My mother always seem to be so biased
- My parents do not seem to care about my well-being
- My brother seems to be like a stranger to me
- I do not have home-cooked food to eat at all
- I am getting fatter
- My complexion is getting worse
- I have not met my prince charming
- I have low self confidence
- My feet hurts everyday when i wear heels
- I'm a perfectionist
Oh then i got tired and stopped. Hahaha BUT i really learn a lot, or rather discover more about myself. Instead of dwelling on things that I'm unhappy with, i can do 2 things. Step 1: Focus more on things that im contented with. Step 2: Correct things that i'm unhappy with.
Family wise - Well, it takes 2 hands to clap. I'm guilty of not being very nice to them as well la. I aint rude or wad la, neither did i try to be nice and communicative. Brother wise.. gone case i guess. hahaa well. ya.
Home cooked food - eh.. no choice right? Learn to cook? Find a guy who is willing to cook for me? Or just continue eating outside food lor. hahaahaa
Physical outlook - Do more facial? Exercise more? Quite hard la but ya, i can always try. Must motivate myself. Sleep earlier. Eat healthier.
Prince charming - Fate? Just hope that i will fall for the right guy this time. :p
Low self confidence - I think this links to the physical outlook? hahahaha not too sure though. Oh.. maybe cause i feel im quite stupid and useless la. Everything also dont know.
Feet - foot reflex lor. Well, guess it's time for me to custom make a pair of heels!
Perfectionist - there's nothing perfect in this world. Learn to accept things as it is. Nevertheless, i just need to try my best and accept the results i get. Tt's gd enough, need not be too critical.
Silly as it may be.. i really felt better after evaluating all these. I also evaluated on the 2nd column again.. whether is my discontentment a need or luxury! Hmm sounds like a course. Sorry hahaha.
SELF CONTENTMENT IS THE WAY TO HAPPINESS !! :p
