RAW STRENGTH IN THE FACE OF PAIN

 Hey Awesome Readers,

When you're in the downpour of pain that is excruciating that it stops you in your tracks, you can't give up and just be complaining about it 24/7. You gotta man/woman up and fight through it like a warrior going to battle. You have to take in those deep breaths to breathe in the realm of calm to focus on centering yourself so you can be in control. It's like a throbbing pain that fans a billion flames of red hot iron to metal that burns like a million suns on the inside, but you push through it and carry on like a herculean warrior who lies on the battlefield of pain and survival to get to a finish line of inhuman strength that takes guts and you going all in guns blazing to figure out how to mask and manage this searing sharp shard of glass that you're facing to get to the rewarding side of healing/moving on. It's about being okay so you can be a literal and emotional vault for those around you so you can trust people to be there for you through this journey of self discovery on the journey of trial and tribulation to get to the other side of conquering it like a hero winning a quest or slaying a fire breathing dragon. It's about overcoming challenges and set-backs while listening to the temple that is the human body and when it's time to lay it to rest before we get back to swinging the axe of bravery while going down swinging for the army of people who've got your back and are in your corner defending you while you're waging war on surpassing the mountain of pain that you're trying to defeat like a boss overcoming a nemesis in action and adventure movies that are awesome. 

OMG. I rambled on for way too long getting into the nitty-gritty of it all. I'll lay down some earth-changing advice that will blow your minds. Sit back and relax against those fluffy blankets and squishy pillows. Slide into your favourite pair of loungewear/PJ's/hoodie's and joggers/t-shirts and jeans/kaftans. Grab some chocolate cake to munch on with the chocolate sauce. Listen loud and crystal clear:

'Clench your whole body to get yourself regulated so some of the pain can ebb away until you're left with a little ember of the pain until you're in a relaxed state of mind. Also reach out the hand of asking for help from a person in your trusted circle that you are comfortable with and you like for life to make you feel a spark of positivity until you're feeling a little lighter. You'll be shouting with frustration which isn't your fault 'cuz you're stressed about a separate thing that isn't highlighted by pain, it's the clenching of the heart and the rapid pulse of anxiety that makes you face the battle of figuring out the maze of the big beautiful brain that makes you unique. It's about chatting to your people to feel better.'

Yeesh. A lot of advice that is heavy to digest, but coming from a strong line of strong people in the Asian Diaspora, you'll learn the tips and tricks of how to be a force to reckon with to muster sheer strength through the climb up the mountain to get to reigning down difference and being able to overcome obstacles in your way to the finish line of success and wellbeing. You're gonna have to suck all the air in your lungs in and take a breath to reach a certain level of mindfulness to forget about the red-hot poker of dull fire running through the inside so you can move on and leave it at the doorstep of your psychological mind map. It's about sometimes keeping the control room of emotion under wraps and letting it out in small bursts so you can be a warrior prince/princess and rule the battlefield between flame-licking pain and the sweet taste of relief by blocking it out through mental powerful strategic moves to be cool as a cucumber when you're looking ahead into the sunset of tomorrows and looking forward to a better version of the you who knows how to be a literal supernova sailing across the galaxy to crumble into a million bits of dust and get back up from the cold ground to rebuild yourself full of cracks that you've successfully covered up with glue and tape when you've been at a low point and are running towards positive lines. 

OOH. I rambled on for ages now. I'll get back to giving some awe-inspiring advice that will have jaws dropping and standing ovations. Sit back and relax against those pillows and blankets. Slide into your favourite pair of loungewear/PJ's/kaftans/hoodies and joggers/t-shirts and jeans. Grab a packet of cheesy wotsits to gobble. Listen loud and crystal clear:

'Sighing helps with pain to relax yourself when you're in pain. Not in that attitude-giving way, this is the calm meditating way that will help you to keep your mind wide open and think about different things to take your mind into the cloud of deep thoughts and daydream or imagination turned into a fascination so you can be on the path to healing yourself and turning your focus on something that gets you on the road to happiness and making your dreams come true whatever they are. No matter how big or small they are.'

AY AY AY. Some mad mind-changing advice that will be stuck int the dark crevices of the minds eyes. Also pain can be detected with them receptor things and it comes in waves like a surfer getting drowned by a gigantic wave that wipes them out. It's about how you jump over that wave and be able to do some mental gymnastics to figure out how to put that pain on the backburner. It's about digging in the freezer to find those ice packs to ice the painful parts of the body that is a temple so you gotta look after it and slow down when it's running a marathon on repeat. It's about moving on from the pain in the body that stops you in your tracks like a freeze framed moment and getting those techniques to wrestle with it until you can jump out of  the mould of pain that will make you march on until you get better. 

Okay. I rambled on there for a bit. I'll get back to giving y'all some awesome earth-changing advice that will rock your world. Sit back and relax against those comfy chairs and fluffy pillows. Slide into your favourite pair of loungewear/PJ's/kaftans/hoodies and joggers/t-shirts and jeans. Grab a bowl of piping hot soup to slurp with that crispy garlic bread to munch on. Listen loud and crystal clear:

'If you're feeling the throb of pain focus on something else like an animal that can make you feel distracted. Playing and massaging a cat is the best type of therapy that can make you forget about the things in life that are bothering you. Heck, you can even chat to them if it helps you to relax in those quilted blankets you own. Even pressing their heads can take your mind off it. You should even get massages done to yourself or go to a spa and get the full glowing face mask treatment if that helps you turn into a human cloud. We all need to find that thing that makes us feel on cloud 9.'

Yikes. Some awesome advice that is blasting some serious powerful vibes. You gotta find your inner Princess Poppy vibes from the world's best animation movie Trolls and Trolls World Tour. It's that shooting star moment that lets your unique, individual, creative, and brilliant self shine brighter in the spotlight of life even if it gets dimmer at times you have to dig deep and find that inner confidence that is buried deep underneath the layers of your outer self so you can push on to find that Master Shifu level of inner peace to be centered to the wrold around you, which will enable you to have the boss vibes that you need to channel on the outside to find that spark of powerful energy that makes you have an enigmatic aura. 

Whoa. I rambled on there for way too long again. I'll give y'all some jaw-dropping advice one last time. Sit back and relax against those comfy recliners with the fluffy pillows and quilted blankets. Slide into your favourite pair of footwear/chucks/trainers/crocs/fluffy socks/sliders/fluffy slippers. Grab your favourite ice cream flavour to get the ultimate brain freeze. Listen loud and crystal clear:

'Strength is about moving on through the path of life in that scorching desert of setbacks and challenges that you overcome to be uniquely amazing can take real guts and bravery to be unapologetically you in any storm that you're facing to get to the realm of utter calm and mindful thinking can take willpower after being tested with the trial by fire stage of it all. Being able to reach out for the olive branch of help not to survive, but truly live your best life takes hard work and effort to claw your way up from the chasm of oblivion to the bright light at the end of that tunnel you've conquered all on your own. You should get a medal for it cuz you're a champion in your windows to the soul a.k.a your eyes.'

Some badass advice for you to chew on. I'll leave you with one last quote to really mull over in the mazes that are the brains. It's along the lines of:

'Rock bottom became the solid foundation in which I built my life.'- J.K. Rowling.

Another quote I'd like to leave you with is:

'There are so many ways to be brave in this world. Sometimes bravery involves laying down your life for something bigger than yourself... Sometimes it is nothing more than gritting your teeth in pain.'- Divergent

Enjoy.
