Growing Roots
PM spent some time with her mentor today, with some friends, and spent some more to bond with family.
It was the perfect catharsis for my agitated waters, which has left me clouded since work at the university began. I know I have been going back and forth, feeling disgusted at one time, then liking work the next. To be honest, the gray area my work has created in my life has left me feeling stupid, the stupidest in fact in a long while.
But all of the venting out to people I trust and love, and whom I know emphatizes and supports me all the way, has left me with some form of peace of mind, letting me calm down and dilate my blood vessels that needed a break badly.
I have been thinking about what has been going on with me last night and it was ugly, so ugly in fact that I just came to a point where I said to myself that I am not tolerating it, much more, that I am not going to allow all of the work related stress to harass me into loosing any more sleep. I realized that if I continue to allow everything to get to me that easily, I might as well resign this early or else I am really predisposing myself for cancer.
Or maybe I just grew tired of whining and paying attention that I decided enought is enough. After all, musangs [wild cats] are a predator, not prey.
A very good point I considered in reflecting through all of these was this line exchange from the Disney movie Kung Fu Panda, if you have not watched it you are missing so much btw,:
Master Ugwey: “Look at this tree. I cannot make it blossom when it suits me nor make it bear fruit before it is time.”
Master Shifu: “But there are things we can control. Control where the fruit will fall, or where to plant the seed.”
Master Ugwey: “No matter what you do, that seed will grow to be a peach tree. You may wish for an apple or an orange, but you will get a peach.”
Now if only musangs grow on trees. LOL
good luck sa paper cranes na ginagawa mo… ^^

when i was having troubles in my life, the movie “curious george” made me cry. LOL. anyway, sometimes the world around us will move on the way it wants to. it is up to us to make the changes within ourselves. await…m i hearing “eye of the tiger” in the background…”it’s the eye of the tiger it’s the thrill of the fight…”

The 2 masters are definitely making a lot of sense.
They say we must “take our work seriously but its problems lightly”. In fact problems should not be sitting in the same chair with us
I learned this from a stress management seminar where years ago I won a book ( well, our team won and each of us got a prize) aptly called ” The Joy of Stress”

Why not enjoy work like you enjoy your life outside work?
I believe that there are various lifestyle factors can have a subtle, but powerful, effect on our social success. And whatever you do, don’t let outside circumstances hold you back more than they have to.

one rule of thumb when it comes to work:
don’t let it interfere with your personal life (and vise versa)
after work, iwan mo lahat ng stress na dulot non sa opisina (in your case, sa iskwela)
you’re a smart kid
you’ll figure it out

the number one rule is you have to take care of yourself. throw away the tension and get your sleep.
you’re not an apple tree, or a peach.
well, maybe you’re a peach.
