Autumn

，

Do you know Autumn has arrived?

Aug 23 marked the starting of the "End of Heat" in 24 Solar Terms, representing an unstable weather condition, maybe still ridiculously hot in daytime while started getting a bit cool at night. The wonderful feeling of Autumn normally does not appear until Autumnal equinox (Sept 23) - beautiful days, blue sky, fallen leaves, light breeze, never too cold or too hot, our mood is great and that's a great timing to travel around!

I thought of posting a picture of Autumn and I just found that I do not have one at the moment, I must take some nice pics this Autumn! Do you have any to share? 

Enjoy the season!

處暑期間的天氣很不穩定，不單是颱風季節，更是大地和人體的陰陽盛衰之轉換時期，每天的温差也很明顯，所以大家要小心保養身體啊!

Spread Love not hate

What is happening to our world?

Conflicts, wars, terrorism, disasters, diseases...

Frustration, anger, hatred...

Negative emotions accumulated, empowered and spreading everywhere..what's next? 

Emotions are just like viruses, they are highly contagious, we keep infecting and being infected by any form of emotion everyday, no matter they are positive or negative. In addition to the power of social media nowadays, the spreading rate is unbelievable! Nowadays it is not that difficult to influence the world in only a short period of time (see the ice bucket challenge recently).

Never underestimate the energy derived from a little anger or hate from an individual, a small conflict today can possibly become highly destructive to the world in the end. We all contribute not only to the happenings of the world, but also its health and emotion. So do ourselves and the world a favor, stop for a while whenever you are angry, don't spread the negative energy, stop whining and think twice before you want to complain... 

Although it seems that we may not able to solve some worldwide crisis easily, all we can do is to reduce the conflicts with others in our own lives and stop infecting others with negative thoughts and emotions. 

It's simple though not easy to do it, keep in mind that we are influencing the world everyday, we want peace and harmony, so starting from our own today,

Spread Love, not hate!

Quiet moments

Ever felt overwhelmed?

Maybe we have too many things to deal with, maybe our lives are too busy, maybe we feel suffocated...and maybe it's just too noisy out there......

Living in this modern (distorted) world today, we are overwhelmed and stressful, sometimes we just need a break, yes just a very short break everyday makes a huge difference!

Don't call it luxury, grabbing some quiet moments for ourselves everyday should never be any waste of time, it is necessary(and priority) to everyone unless you prefer self-torturing.

No matter we have an hour or just 5 minutes, the power of solitude is far more than expected. Put aside all the daily stuff and empty our mind for a while. It can be a coffee break at a quiet corner, a walk in the park, or simply look up at the sky and watch the cloud, we can even do a painting or write calligraphy....it all depends on the time you are willing to spare. The main purpose is to relax and focus on the present moment, it's not difficult to get mindfulness! (Stay away from the phone, don't get online, your conscious mind could never get the real rest when you keep feeding yourself with Facebook feeds)

When was the last time you communicate with yourself and feel your true feeling? Do you know we are the best listener and consultant to ourselves?

The quiet moment opens up the communication channel with our inner self, allows us to feel our emotion and feeling. The calmness does not only relieve us from stress, it lets us to see things clearly in a more objective view, and unexpectedly brings out brilliant ideas. We feel totally re-energized and sometimes even "enlightened"!

Even taking your mind one minute away is good to re-boot the system or save yourself  from  the overwhelm situation on the spot. Simply close your eyes and focus on the deep breaths, or stare at somewhere far away outside the window, bring your mind up to the clouds and let it be free (mind free) for one minute.

When I communicate with myself, I feel my whole self in the greatest harmony and peace, everything happening within me becomes smooth, natural, appropriate and good, hence I got the highest fulfillment from it. I always have most of my problems solved and questions answered during my quiet moment with myself, and I feel really grateful about it.

So let's treat our mind a short vacation everyday! 

Be good to ourselves!

Nail Polish Therapy

How to fix a bad mood?

Sometimes I just use colors to cheer myself up, though they don't solve the problem directly, beautiful rich colors do a great job to energize the mood and increase creativity which in turns stimulate ideas, and hence problem may be solved in an unexpected manner (who knows?)

It's easy to have the nail polish therapy, I mean doing it by ourselves instead of going to a salon, as it always takes patience and focus to paint the nails neatly and flawlessly especially with those sharp colors. I seldom did sharp color by by my own as I don't have much patience doing such "fine craft" and I ended up being frustrated by the messy work I made all the time( It's probably just me, i know many girls do an excellent job there) So I see it as a practice and a "little challenge", the attention putting there also helps to relax and get rid of any stress at least temporary during that moment. No need to make complex drawings or 3D flowers, simply have some fun on matching with different colors is joyful enough, and enjoy the satisfaction when they are done "perfectly".

One point: Good quality of nail polish certainly ease the process a lot and reduce the chance of messy finish!

It's Summer out there, wearing these colors light up my mood, it makes me smile whenever I look at them. I don't even need rings or any heavy jewelry, summer is all about colorful with everything light, so relax and have some fun! Make a nail polish therapy!

Have a beautiful day ;)
