It's been almost two months since my last entry. I guess there have been some whirlwind events in my so-called life--some worth remembering, some worth forgetting.
I've actually re-activated my social media accounts which makes my previous blog entries pages of bull crap. But seriously, it feels I have been on both sides of the fence. Totally detaching myself from people was one thing, and reimmersing after a "media blackout" is another.
I have better appreciation of the social media now. I think I am a better user and consumer this time around.
It's actually healthy especially if I have fits of anger that I don't know where to channel. Rather than grabbing that big bag of potato chips, I'd just tweet my anger shamelessly to my less than 30 twitter followers. (Yes, I had to set up a totally new account which nobody likes to follow anymore.)
Apart from my big social media comeback, I've been exercising everyday for a month now, which contributed to my mental well-being, apart from the physical results (if there are any).
I no longer loathe myself for eating that extra serving as I know I can burn it off anyway. I am more confident and driven and happy with this new "lifestyle". I drive hurriedly from work everyday to engage in my afternoon workout while listening to my favorite CD's.
I no longer feel the need to lash out at others, as these are merely my self-loathing and insecurity being channeled as irrational hate towards others. It is true that when we appreciate ourselves, we no longer have to step on other people's feelings.
And this is all because of exercise. After I finish a session, I feel a sense of accomplishment. Although I know I'm not the Zen-type of guy who emanates inner peace and positivity 24/7 like a yoga teacher would, I feel I'm in a much better place. I still have issues but I know it's not one step forward and two steps back this time.
