Peace of mind
Peace of mind The pressure to perform is always in high demand. If it’s in a working environment or a relationship or even in family, sometimes the pressure is one and it’s up too us how do we deal with it. Working for the last seven years straight is hard in it’s self. To have to do something in an consistent day by day basis can drain you and your peace of mind. There times were you working this 9 to 5 job and go home to relax just to find out that the job is not done. Helping others is something that comes up a lot. Friends come to certain people for advice or just need someone to talk to (mainly just listen). The big mistake is taking sides in a place where you can’t really go away. Some people go out of they’re way to make that person feel good about themselves and hope that things will go better and not worse. The warning signs are there (especially when others have said so) but you ignore them and do the right thing. One question that comes up a lot is “how come you never ask for something?” , the true question comes to mind in my head “ why do I have to ask for something?”. The belief is that some “friends” don’t really treat others as that instead more or less treat them as another human to use as a punching bag. The hope is simple, they have to repay them back without one saying something. Dating them would be a hassle but a lot of fun however eventually you’ll find out who they really are and may like it and may not and start to drift away without them knowing. Falling in love with the character they are is why I held on so much in hope that I can be the next partner. In the end, it wasn’t meant to be, just their true about me when I asked “who am I to you” the answer was lower than the bottom of the sea. After that it was hard to be near them and my curse is that I’m too loyal and wouldn’t say no. But the damage was there and it kept getting worse and worse, day by day, I don’t know what to do. Then we stop talking for good. But I felt the pressure, was more angrier to myself that I let this happen. Being nice hurt me in a deep way but then the pandemic hit. No more job, no more dealing with drama, but it’s there and need to be strong for what’s coming. We all gotta expect the unexpected in way or directions it comes from. Pressure comes on how we do things, do we put pressure on ourselves or others do? Honestly that answer is both. Others expect you to be strong and you need to prove to yourself what kind of dignity you have in you. During this time I gotten the opportunity to try to relax. Everything around is a challenge from people or society. Going to a place where you just hear the water run down the stream and listening the falls in the big wall dam is soothing. It’s funny but nature has a way to make your mind wonder and at times clean off the bad energy. I can never change who I am, dealing with this thing call pressure is something that’ll never leave but my answer to that on how do I deal with is simple just be patient. Be patient with everything, with people and with yourself and somehow things will work for the best. It’s not easy but in the long run it will because you’ll be teaching someone life lessons and maybe change their lives.

A DAY OF MY DIARY
In the beginning, I would like to thank this site, and I hope that my story will have your satisfaction. • This is not a fantasy story at all, but it represents me personally, it's a real-life story that happened to me at some period in my life. Which I learned from, of course. So, I will start it and every letter of it speaks for itself. I had this story seven years ago. I was an employee at that time in the private sector and worked for a prestigious company. I took care of my family, which is consists of my wife, my eldest daughter, and three kids, they were for me the fuel and energy needed to persevere and keep a source of my livelihood and my work, where I used to work shifts. I've been working for more than ten years, working tirelessly. And one day, I was working at the end of the night shift, I got a lot of pain in my back, and I felt like someone was holding me from Back in his hands, but it's actually a pain, and I remember at the time that my mind took me to my family to fear for them, and what would happen to them. I got confused and bad thinking in my mind. Then i didn't feel myself, except in the ambulance, my thought took me away, and I'm getting ready to go to the hospital. Really, the feeling was terrible, when the person has a complex feeling between Pain or fear of losing his beautiful life with his loved people or of course, losing himself. And there in the hospital, I remember the nurses they were doing tests, and then I didn't feel myself until I was in intensive care. At that moment I realized that my condition is critical. They told me my kidneys didn't work, the lungs were full of water, and I had to sign the papers.

When I first started practicing yoga in 2017, I was a skeptic who had no idea about all the different types of yoga. As an office worker, I had too much stress and I didn’t exercise often enough. That combination of problems led me to yoga, but I only dipped my toes into the world of yoga at first.

My Experience with the Chemical Diet
Not many people have heard of the Chemical Diet, where you can lose weight fast. I hadn't heard of it myself until I read about it on James Duncan's blog site. I was sure it was a scam until I tried it and lost weight fast! So, I looked into it and couldn't find much about it except for it being mentioned on the Netmums website, and I read the comments from people who have tried the Chemical Diet, who claimed to have lost weight fast within the first week. At first, I thought it wasn't something that would work, but I was wrong!

False Memories
Eye Witness Testimony and False Memories By encoding information through sensory input, memories are then created. The information that has been encoded are then stored. People use retrieval to get the memory back (this would be the general memory process theory), but sometimes there can be problems such as false memories (Grison, S., Heatherton, T., & Gazzaniga, M. 2016). False memories can be difficult especially when it comes to any eye witnessing testimonies.
