Say NO to Mr StreSS!!

Assalammualaikum dan salam satu Malaysia ~ _^!


Apa macam? Ada sihat ka? Tipu la kalu ngaku tak sihat kan. Makan cukup (Malaysia kan syurga makanan), air mandi pon cukup, tidur mesti la terlebih dari cukup kan, hahaha. Mungkin satu jek tak cukup, duit! Hehe, sebab ape? Sebab...ramai org ckp bile dah hujung-hujung bulan, duit pon dah tipis (tu org lain yang kobar kek den,den cumo menyampaikan). Tak de duit pon boleh menyumbangkan kepada stress. Adakah anda STRESS? (^_6)

Apa itu STRESS? Stress adalah satu tindakan semulajadi hasil dari suatu tekanan dari faktor dalaman atau luaran yang memberi kesan kepada seseorang. Some people are well response  under pressure but mosly when they confronted with the stress, they can't cope or resist it hence create bigger problem. Below is an image the effect of the stress to your body, mind, emotional and behavior:

Stress symptoms

After viewed above attachment, i found that i am a lucky person who'd be in that category which facing a severe stress tolerance (yipppeeeee!!). So for today's entry, aku nak update pasal "7-days without stress challenge" yang aku lancarkan bermula dari Isnin minggu lepas dan tamat pada isnin minggu ini (cukup la kan 7 hari). Pelancaran cabaran ni tak dapat sambutan sebab aku jek yang launching kan event ni (aku kan suka syok sendiri, "ade aku kisah?") dan terima kasih jua buat sahabat (nama terpaksa dirahsiakan bagi tujuan keselamatan) yang setia memberi sokongan dan dorongan  serta 'kata-kata semangat ' (usaha terbaik dr unknown yang selalu menaikkan darah sehingga bertegang leher setiap masa) sepanjang cabaran ini berlangsung. Tapi alhamdulillah, cabaran ini membuahkan hasil dan mencapai objektifnya. After that challenge, i finally realized that when you focus and have a desire to work on something, you will go and deal it no matter   how hard to reach there (eg: dalam kontek entri ni, kalu kita betul2 nak resist dari stress, you really can  overcome that matter). There are many ways to cope with stress, but i really love this link, have a time to visit it.

However, other people also plays vital role to accomplish your intention dealing with the stress like your parent ( ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥), sibs ( ♥ ♥ ♥ ), BFFs (miss u guys ♥ ♥) , future mom-in-law, godbrother, roomate ( ♥ ♥), labmate(♥) or they can be anybody who can share happiness, sadness and problems with you. They're trustful person, good listener, and always be there when u need them. Some people loves to talk more but they don't really listen to you (try avoid this people to share life-holds with or you might be frustrating later on). Make a good contact and relation with them because it's hardly to find this rare qualified species one in a thousandth.

In the link above, i would like to highlight about how pet a friendly cat/dog is chosen as a way to cope with stress. You might think it's hillarious but from my concise experience, it's really work, hahha. Actually, i do love cats but somehow i'm a fur allergist person (sebab tu tak ade niat nak bela kucing ni). Niat di hati teringin nak bela hamster ke, guinea-pig ke, arnab ke, tapi semua spesis ada gigi kacip kat depan yang suka menggigit. Jadi, spesis yang sesuai nk bela atas sebab penakut di gigit adalah ikan. Kalau passed by kedai-kedai ikan mesti nak masuk tapi belinya tak sebab tak  de pengalaman bela ikan. Tak pasal-pasal mati anak ikan tu, niaya jek! Fast forward sehingga la hari ahad lepas, my colleague ajak teman die beli ikan emas to feed his Piranhna species (sian kat ikan-ikan tu, dah la lawa, belum sempat nk sampai umur baligh jd anak dara & teruna dah kene ngap...isk isk isk). Hehe, ape lagi. aku 'kecek2' (ayat org Johor utk mintak sesuatu) la kat die nak seekor. Dia bagi 2 ekor sekali. Excited kot siap ader nama berdasarkan jantina lagi, Ran & Conan (sempena feveret karakter anime). Kalau nak tahu jantan betina kena check kat sirip dorsal dia ader perbezaan. Yang jantan ada sedikit abdomen yang terkeluar. Tapi ditakdirkan hayat Ran & Conan tak panjang, sehari jek dapat hidup bawah jagaan aku. Nak cakap tak cukup kasih sayang, terlebih belai kot. Mungkin dowg pon stress tgk aku yang stress ni agaknya. But now, i've new pet, a Betta fish (ikan laga), a gift from my colleague (leh tak, nak cakap sayang kat die, hehehe). Dah pon bagi nama kat dia (ikan tu pon suka nama die). Walaupun ader pencanggahan pendapat dan kekeliruan antara kami mengenai jantina pet aku tu, so aku bagi nama universal kat dia, BLOOPY GUN (bersempena kaler dia Steel blue). Gun tu surname dia sbb dulu dia cina, baru convert Islam. 

Gambar ikhsan dari Google (nak capture pakai kamera, kamera dah kene rompak, hp pon zaman tok kaduk, hehe). Tapi hampir sama dengan Bloopy Gun aku tuh, Cantik kan dia.

Kebetulan tengah lepak-lepak bersiar dengan Bloopy, terjumpe junior yang bela ikan Betta. So, dapatlah sedikit sebanyak info penjagaan ikan Betta ni. Dia kata tak rumit jaga ikan Betta berbanding ikan emas. Alhamdullillah sehingga ke saat ini, Bloopy masih survive di bawah penjagaan aku (mungkin kami serasi, siap boleh berbual dengan dia). Apa yang aku nak ketengahkan di sini, kalau kita bela binatang yang friendly, kita boleh hilangkan stress sebab:

1) We try to divert our pressure to other things when we gave attention to them instead of the stress
2) Pet is a good listener and well understanding our feeling (sebab dowg tak leh cakap bahasa manusia sbb tu dowg pendengar yang baik, heheh)
3) Terhibur ngan gelagat dowg yang super duper cute tu. (Org kata, ikan betta suka kembangkan sirip dia bila kita ketak die depan cermin, tapi aku lum try lagi)
~no wonder la kebanyakan student masters and phDs bela pet.. sebab nak cope dengan stress. Boleh jadi sewel wooo..~

Yesterday, i found another solution or method to overcome stress. I accidentally discovered it, when i sat lonely with my Bloopy nearby the pond in my college. When u stress, try to make a new friend that u never met before. It's fine to start with a small conversation like ' hai, baru balik dari lab ke?' but dont forget to smile (x pasal2 org lari tgk ko yang macam nk bunuh org tuh). Then, the conversation will extent more than you're expected. Through this small chat, you'll feel like the stress flow simultaneously with the talking (you feel more ease after that). Why? Because when we try to make a friend, we start with a small conversation which the detail of the chat is a bit leisure, little tense, not much emotional involved. Dulu masa aku belajar, lecturer tu cakap, komunikasi yang berkesan adalah komunikasi from both parties, ada penyampaian dan penerimaan di situ (barulah aku sedar kini sebab apa penting kita amek subjek tu dulu, haha), tak ada la seorang jek yang yang syok sendiri bercakap kan. This is one way for you to divert your stress attention by doing something more relax. Try it to prove my method (leh patent method ni).

There's so many ways for you to deal with your stress, try to explore them and you will find out different outcomes. Choose the best which you think relevant to your condition. Like mine, a few years back, when i stressed,  i love to paint (give you a great satisfaction but not relevant for current situation). Sometimes, i love to do any activity alone like driving, marathon watching movie, window shopping and more (, you are freely to spread your wing to do anything you like, where you want to go..all by yourself). Tu belum masuk naughty a and crazy part lagi to deal with stress (tak nak citer, malu ^_^).

Ok, i think, that's all from now. Thank you for having a time to read this entry. So stay healthy and happy! Some advice from me to you guys out there and myself, "He who smiles rather than rages is always the stronger". 

Say "Peace" to stress!!
