ASIAN GRANS MAKING YOU DIG YOUR DITCH OF TROUBLE DEEPER

Hey Awesome Readers,

Welcome to the long-winded lectures about being a great human and being spiritual and doing your part to be okay. It's a huge part of the Asian Diaspora that we're living in today. Boomers meet Millennials Gen Z's and Zoomers. It's like the matrix key in Transformers where Desepticons and Transformers can't see eye to eye and are at literal wars with the firing of ammo and robotic technology called transformium. (Yeah I've been doing that movie marathon recently I'm on The Last Knight now.) Anyway, let's get back to the topic of the thing it's about having respect for the elders and not stepping past invisible lines drawn in the sand while being loud and proud by using your words even if you get sucked into the whirlpool of anxiety while being in the quicksand of the lecture that's raining ammo on you until you've got nothing in the tank. Making sure you're listening without blowing your lid off cuz your Asian temper is flying off the handle right? You gotta tap into that realm of calm and not have the heaving of the chest while having 3 panic attacks in the heat of the moment. Inhale/exhale and all that good stuff. Soak in the good vibes. 

Ooh. I rambled on for time there. I was getting into the big passionate paragraph there. I'll lay down some awesome mind-changing/earth-shattering advice. Sit back and relax against those pillows and fluffy blankets. Slide into your favourite pair of loungewear/PJ's/kaftans/hoodies and joggers/t-shirts and jeans. Grab some banging pie to gobble up. Listen loud and crystal clear:

'When you need to leave a situation where you feel like you're putting your shovel in the mud and digging your trench of trouble from here to no man's land, and you're trying to separate yourself from a situation you gotta dip real fast even if you're getting told to sit your butt down in the hot seat in the firing line of words when you're doing your best to be as great as the Primes in transformers. You should be able to retreat when it's getting  hot 'cuz you gotta watch your six and all that while going to a place of tranquility to take your mind off of it.'

OY OY OY. Some awesome advice. A huge chunk of it, which is quite heavy hitting. It's like you got a ton of bricks on your chest and you can't breath cuz the anxiety's eating you up from the inside out. Yeah, you'll get the famous line of 'in one ear and out of the other ear,' but it's easier said than done when you're an overthinker or just a deep thinker in general cuz your brain is analysing it all before you can move on and be cool as a cucumber, or chilled like an iced mocktail right? Becoming silent and deadly while being a vault like Gringotts in Harry Potter is hard, but doable. You gotta tap into that loud/outspoken confident side that is hidden like a rare gem since it's only coming out a handful of times where you're speaking a mile a minute before you're shutting down like a laptop. Maybe you need El Jefe aura or something. (Jefe- Boss in Spanish). You might need that powerful lioness roar like a Mafia Boss vibe. You gotta dig deep and not let that tower of confidence crumble to rubble, you gotta rise like the Mockingjay from the fire and not be messed with cuz you're as bad as they come. (In a good way that is). I think it's about having the suited and booted look with the tie that means business or you can mean business and stand up for yourself with some of the 'tude in a respectful way to yourself. 

Whoa. I rambled on there for time. I'll get back to the nitty-gritty part of giving jaw-dropping, awe-inspiring advice. Sit back and relax into those powerful thrones of yours. Slide into your favourite pair of loungewear/PJ's/kaftans/hoodies and joggers/t-shirts and jeans. Grab some Rice Crackers to munch on. Listen loud and crystal clear:

'You have to walk with your head held high. Master that outer poker face without giving emotion away while listening to things that you've already got knowledge on. You gotta be like a hard unapproachable granite statue. In the positive way. Maybe you can use your words to fight back. Hopefully it's verbal fencing like debating a thing. You can shout 'touché' after your verbal comebacks. Be the butterfly and spread your wings instead of being the caterpillar hiding in the cocoon. Bravery comes in all shapes and forms in the name of strategy.'

Yeesh. Another bit of strong advice. It'll take a bit of time to sink in. You gotta be the one to take deep breaths if you forget to breathe cuz you're too busy hyperventilating when you're thinking too hard about what to say back in the fiery heat of the verbal sauna you're sitting in where you're sweating bullets and pooping a few bricks cuz you're stressed. Maybe you can try the tactics like closing your eyes and figuring out the most amazing landscapes you've seen in real life. I've seen some awesome ones from cable cars to being in a flower garden that is in the shape of different things like the heart thing you do with your hands. To stop yourself from quivering from the waterfall of sadness all you need to do is clench your fists until you're calm and able to articulate what you wanna say next in the most non-violent way. 

OMG. I rambled again. Blasting off with all the words like a rocket into outer space. Maybe it's an alien ship going to Cybertron. I'll lay down some awesome mind-changing advice. Sit back and relax against those comfy chairs with lumbar support. Slide into your favourite pair of chucks/crocs/sliders/slippers/fluffy socks. Grab a Brunch Bar to gobble. Listen loud and crystal clear:

'Use the saying 'make like a bee.' Basically it just means buzz off/mind your beeswax (business). I know you're gonna sound rude, but you have to use the boss energy to get people off your back easily. It's about not having your guard too low otherwise you can get arrows fired at you like Katniss Everdeen in the arena. Only have your walls crumble to the ground if you've got a thousand percent trust in a percent to not hurt you too much otherwise those ivy covered beauties need to be tall so intruders can't get through the back door to mess with you.'

Ooh. Short and sweet, but impactful. You gotta throw back that shade if you're getting some in your bright bubbly personality. I'm just sayin' don't let anyone dim it. You gotta be listening while also soaking in that Vitamin D of positivity for the skin to be glowing. You gotta let your light shine brighter while sometimes still hiding in the shadows and keeping all that info down on lock. Be able to connect with your fellow Asian Queens who can relate though. It's about not letting that DRAMA stick to you like a magnet if you're getting trouble aimed at you like a dart sticking into the target 

Alright. I rambled on a bit there. I'll get back to giving y'all one last bit of advice. Sit back and relax. Slide into your favourite pair of loungewear/PJ's/kaftan/hoodie and joggers/t-shirt and shorts. Grab some popcorn if you're watching some amazing show. Listen loud and crystal clear:

'Be able to rise above it all if you can to create the peace. Or tap into inner peace like Master Shifu in the best movie series Kung Fu Panda. Be able to do that powerful meditation to calm yourself instead of boiling over like an angry kettle or Indian tea pot.'

I'll leave y'all to chew on that. I'll drop a quote along the lines of:

'What other people think about you has nothing to do with you and everything to do with them.'- Jen Sincero.

Enjoy reading.
