You can Do It!

Once again, like the nights in Seattle, the random nights in Boise I am facing serious health issues.
My stomach hurts too much, and the diagnosis and different people's opinion is just way out of hand.
I know my body, I know what I need to do to take the first necessary steps and then the doctors, medication and other people can come into play with all this.
My nutrition/health and stress is a big problem and those are the first necessary things I need to take care of to deal with this. Mentally if I can deal with that, physically I will improve in matter of days.
Nutrition Health
Eat proper food: breakfast, lunch and dinner and snacks.
Everyday breakfast: A fruit (banana, grapes, etc), and a glass of milk with cereal, biscuit or pancakes.
Lunch: Milkshake, edamame beans, fruit, healthy food.
Dinner: Proper food: daal, rice, roti, beans, vegetable. Full dinner meal.
Icecream everyday and 34oz water.
Since my stomach is in a bad condition, I need to start out slowly eating and then improving on weekly basis with amount of food I intake.
EAT PROPER FOOD AND THAT WILL DO WONDERS TO YOUR HEALTH HONEY!!!!!!

Go to gym: exercise, dance, yoga, workout, and enjoy yourself.
4-5 times a week go to Gym.
Dance class schedule:
Monday 4:30, Tuesday 6:30, Thursday 9:30, Saturday 11:30 and Sunday 4:30.
Corefit class schedule:
Monday 9:00, Tuesday 5:00, Wednesday 9:00, Thursday 5:00, Friday 9:00.
Go to gym whenever you are feeling down and release your energy there.
It will make you healthier and you'll feel better: energized.

In Seattle, every evening you use to go to Tully's or Starbucks and just read. You read three amazing books: Alchemist, Eat Pray and Love and Eleven Minutes. You enjoy reading, it reduces stress, and is keeps your mind motivated. So, take some time everyday or 4-5 times a week to just read. You have so many books that are still waiting to be finished and on your to read list.

Watch one movie a week. You use to love watching movies, its great "time pass" and it relaxes you. Once a week, in theater, on tv or on computer, watch one movie!!!!

You use to stay so active and happy before, mentally and physically.
Involved in activities, doing all different things that you like, volunteering, art, dancing, going out with people, and now you have become boring, and very weak, physically and mentally.
You function best when you keep yourself busy and happy so do that. Stop worrying about other people more than yourself. You come first, everyone else comes after.

Simple,
Get good sleep.
Wake up early.
Eat good food all day long.
Read, watch movie, go to gym, do things you like.
Focus on school and company.
Be healthy, stay happy.
Fuck the rest of the world. It's your life, not there's. At the end of the day it's about how you feel, not someone else.
Relax!


Help for Stress:

Stress management strategy #1: Avoid unnecessary stress

Not all stress can be avoided, and it’s not healthy to avoid a situation that needs to be addressed. You may be surprised, however, by the number of stressors in your life that you can eliminate.

  • Learn how to say “no” – Know your limits and stick to them. Whether in your personal or professional life, refuse to accept added responsibilities when you’re close to reaching them. Taking on more than you can handle is a surefire recipe for stress.
  • Avoid people who stress you out – If someone consistently causes stress in your life and you can’t turn the relationship around, limit the amount of time you spend with that person or end the relationship entirely.
  • Take control of your environment – If the evening news makes you anxious, turn the TV off. If traffic’s got you tense, take a longer but less-traveled route. If going to the market is an unpleasant chore, do your grocery shopping online.
  • Avoid hot-button topics – If you get upset over religion or politics, cross them off your conversation list. If you repeatedly argue about the same subject with the same people, stop bringing it up or excuse yourself when it’s the topic of discussion.
  • Pare down your to-do list – Analyze your schedule, responsibilities, and daily tasks. If you’ve got too much on your plate, distinguish between the “shoulds” and the “musts.” Drop tasks that aren’t truly necessary to the bottom of the list or eliminate them entirely.

Stress management strategy #2: Alter the situation

If you can’t avoid a stressful situation, try to alter it. Figure out what you can do to change things so the problem doesn’t present itself in the future. Often, this involves changing the way you communicate and operate in your daily life.

  • Express your feelings instead of bottling them up. If something or someone is bothering you, communicate your concerns in an open and respectful way. If you don’t voice your feelings, resentment will build and the situation will likely remain the same.
  • Be willing to compromise. When you ask someone to change their behavior, be willing to do the same. If you both are willing to bend at least a little, you’ll have a good chance of finding a happy middle ground.
  • Be more assertive. Don’t take a backseat in your own life. Deal with problems head on, doing your best to anticipate and prevent them. If you’ve got an exam to study for and your chatty roommate just got home, say up front that you only have five minutes to talk.
  • Manage your time better. Poor time management can cause a lot of stress. When you’re stretched too thin and running behind, it’s hard to stay calm and focused. But if you plan ahead and make sure you don’t overextend yourself, you can alter the amount of stress you’re under.

Stress management strategy #3: Adapt to the stressor

If you can’t change the stressor, change yourself. You can adapt to stressful situations and regain your sense of control by changing your expectations and attitude.

  • Reframe problems. Try to view stressful situations from a more positive perspective. Rather than fuming about a traffic jam, look at it as an opportunity to pause and regroup, listen to your favorite radio station, or enjoy some alone time.
  • Look at the big picture. Take perspective of the stressful situation. Ask yourself how important it will be in the long run. Will it matter in a month? A year? Is it really worth getting upset over? If the answer is no, focus your time and energy elsewhere.
  • Adjust your standards. Perfectionism is a major source of avoidable stress. Stop setting yourself up for failure by demanding perfection. Set reasonable standards for yourself and others, and learn to be okay with “good enough.”
  • Focus on the positive. When stress is getting you down, take a moment to reflect on all the things you appreciate in your life, including your own positive qualities and gifts. This simple strategy can help you keep things in perspective.
