Blogging a Mental Therapy


Here I am looking around my workstation, observing what else to do. My tabletop looks so clean and empty, reminding me how it looked when I first joined the company. I look outside and see the lovely sun shining proudly down on earth. The haze is beginning to disappear probably due to the morning rain.

Speaking of the rain, I remembered that when I walked out my gate this morning, the air and the wet roads just reminded me of the wet London that once used to be. I suppose London would a little warmer now that it is autumn. Nevertheless it is not the whether that should change things around but how we approach to things be it rain or shine.

Life is not like a bed of roses. I could here my uncle’s voice echoing in my head. It is the challenge we face that stirs how you feel. You may have thousand and one problems that come in bulks but what is important is how you approach to the problem. You can choose to be unhappy by collecting negative thoughts and stay with it or you could turn around the problem into an opportunity of a lifetime.

I learnt the hard way. I let whatever the problem I face absorbed into me and let my emotions control my mind. But after sitting on the problem I realised that there is no solution to it. In fact I felt even more miserable by the day. I turned to a new self-discovery that in order to minimize the sorrows and to stay happy is to make the best of what you are doing effectively, even though it is not in your favour. It is all up to you.

Likewise, a transfer to a new working environment, which I will embark tomorrow, should be taken without conditions. Taking into account, the professional and personal development that I have collected so far may help me to polish the skills I have acquired, and at the same time learn new things with new ideas at a new environment. I am blessed that I shall be in a position that requires strategic thinking and planning. It shall give me a bigger exposure to be a team player with such enormous people involve throughout Malaysia at least.

Staring at the keyboards, I understand why lots of people around the globe chose to blog. Some people chose blogging to ventilate their sorrows, share their happiness, promote their product offerings or even simply for fun. But whatever it is, I feel it help us to think clearer of the next steps in whatever you do. Shopping may be a retail therapy, but I feel blogging is definitely a mental therapy.
