Marathon/Hike to the Top

lcscarlett957

What could you try for the first time?

Since I started my fitness journey last year .I really wanted to work on my endurance and grit for long periods.

And I’ve seen people who’ve built up and grown so much in their fitness journey and put so many activities and have really tried one marathon as a realistic goal.

Like, I remember one of the famous movies, I’m not sure. It has something to do with a famous boxer or a person in training. When a person runs up the stairs and then cheers as they reach their goal.

I wanna try to do that. Maybe running a 5k marathon or hiking up a big trail like a mini mountain to reach the top or finish line and look down and say…

Yeah, I did it.

And since I’ve always been sedentary and put some workouts in my routines, I’ve never tried running a marathon as a nice fitness goal, and running as an activity so that could be something I can try for the first time.

Perfection is Overrated

lcscarlett957

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?

The best piece of advice I got was from my brother and my kind manager at work.

Ever since I was a child…always been a people pleaser and did it for their sake not really my own choice.

Try to be the perfect person in their eyes.

When advancement there are struggles, hardships, obstacles, and fear.

Everyone’s path is different and not gonna work out, but that doesn’t mean that it’s useless because the effort to try is still there.

And it weighs heavily on the person because they feel they let everyone down.

But in reality they haven’t…

Their idea of perfection for other people’s eyes is just overrated.

What matters is doing the stuff that makes you happy, or being the person you are with no filters, and if people don’t like it…

Don’t care and shine like your original self.

I heard this from a well-known comedian that it took him 38 years to have the life he needed and prayed for. Nothing went perfectly and the judgment of a lot both personal and social was coming in all corners.

He just ignored and did actions that made him better and better for his true self.

I have a perfectionist factor in me that is a negative that made me have lots of breakdowns and negative thoughts.

I’m taking steps to be better for me, and just ignore the noise of others or my negative self-talk and just be me.

A Little But Can Be Different

lcscarlett957

Was today typical?

Well, it’s a typical summer day when the sun is shining, but a little bit different…

As before I would not have woken up so early to exercise, trying to get motivated by going for a bit of a walk and having a little bit of a proper routine.

It’s a bit typical, but sometimes I’m trying to work on adding a little bit of new activity or mindset each day. Either learn a new fact or do something that I haven’t done before.

For instance, I never really went for a walk in the morning, even though I was a little bit inside, I stretched my legs.

Also never really spent outside, mostly since I have a hybrid job, but I’m trying to spice up the typical day.

Unique…but Reasonable

lcscarlett957

How would you describe yourself to someone?

I would describe myself as quiet but unique when you get to know me.

Sometimes…I can be creative or have a mental block.

Passionate about different projects, good news, media, and a lot of rare things to show and look back on.

I’m empathetic, and respectful because I am not quick to judge anyone until I get to know them on a comfortable level and layers for me to let go to show my true self.

I scare easily and am fearful…But I was born in a wonderful faith with a respectful religious background which I always remain humble.

Sometimes I show too much passion, especially for sports or topics I love…

I have a bad habit of overhinkjng and stressful, because ai wnt things to be perfect or fix things easily and too nice.

So I reflect a lot on myself and always try to grow in any way I can.

Can be lazy…but responsible and always loyal to my loved ones because inside that I am still working on, I care about other people more than I do myself.

Quiet, Unique, Simple but Passionate and Caring

That’s Me and I’m still working to be better 🙂

Take a Break & Journal Your Thoughts

lcscarlett957

What strategies do you use to maintain your health and well-being?

Mental Health is something I did not consider important, until 3 years ago I got wiser and had a lot of personal factors….something that took me to a very low point in my life and I didn’t know how to get out.

So I just thought and searched online what is something I can do to improve my mornings and not feel depressed….

And some strategies that I found out…

1. Try and make a routine to help lessen the load. With mornings and evenings.

2. Add small healthy habits slowly to help your mental and physical well-being.

3. Exercise although tiring and hard at first can go a long way and helps…

4. Don’t wait to start something or learn something new just do it.

5. Meditation and time to yourself is a very important factor that is healthy to add.

6. Journaling your thoughts, fears, aspirations, anger, joy, sadness, and happiness is a good outlet to release stress 

7. Planning out meals brought a new joy and improved my mental health because I don’t feel the need to rush or stuck in confusion.

8. Take a break during the day…too much time on one or multiple things will lead to burnout.

I am still reading and looking at some more good advice to add to help me but I still keep on trying. 🙂

Dishonesty & Inconsideration

lcscarlett957

What bothers you and why?

Things that bother me is when people aren’t being honest or they’re very being inconsiderate without considering the other person’s perspective.

With the dishonest issue, it’s when you know, no one is telling you the truth?

It gets me scared and cautious that they can do something bad.

For me, it’s like they’re putting on a fake face, and it’s hard to tell who they really are, but you want to keep your distance.

The other factor of being inconsiderate is that each and every person has has his or her situation that they’re dealing with that nobody knows about.

Everyone has their opinions in public and private settings. And I’ve always seen, in bad situations, people get blamed for something that they can’t control, or the other person doesn’t know about what’s going on.

A few good quotes that I’ve always learned even especially in delicate situations is…

Don’t judge a book by its cover.

You never know what somebody is going through until you walk a mile in their shoes

Screen Time

lcscarlett957

What could you let go of, for the sake of harmony?

I can let go of going on my phone for most of the day and most of the night for the sake of harmony, and my mental health

The bad part of the dopamine has started to affect me very badly….

Especially my energy levels and importantly my well-being so I have to understand that it’s okay to let go of and I was just trying to keep myself entertained.

But in reality, I was just jeopardizing my mental health and I need to move forward.

Hard, Patience and Belief

What makes a teacher great?

I think what makes a teacher great is that they are compassionate and when they are being hard, its because they can see the potential in their students

Patience is one amazing quality that I believe all good teacher should have

Belief…

Sometimes teachers don’t know this but a belief in every student goes a long way…

It’s a factor that can help towards the future of many kids lives

Travel and Experience

lcscarlett957

How do you want to retire?

I want to retire peacefully and with a good mary to my name that I contributed to anything any company any foundation and they know that I tried my best and I’m completely thankful and free to do what I would love to.

The first thing is is travel, and do side, projects that would keep me engaged.

I love traveling and the world is so vast that I have not seen anything yet. I have more and more years of me ahead, if I would love to.

Well, because through life, there’s always this blockade, stages of kids, helping people and be involved in so many things that you forget to take care of yourself for a bit.

Even though the world is changing more and more that people are trying to do more self-care in the early stages. But in the retirement in stages, there’s more to look forward to.
