Life's a chocolate truffle!

josiah's dessert table. YUM.

When happy food, stress-busters and consecutive night-outs fail to do their thing to keep you from mulling over the past. You turn to more doable options.

How I did it:

In the past, overworking myself caused one helluva drawback usually physical then psychological and infrequently, emotional. Hence the need for a downtime. That single moment when being laid back and stress-free isn't a rare privilege, but part of a medical prescription. Tried and Tested. Look closely, and you have the most cost-effective potent drug there is. Quiet times.

That used to be the case. Until I was the one having lolling periods and exhausting  them to the do a vain and detrimental set of habits; thinking, rethinking and overthinking. What I've long been partial to, turned to be the moment I absolutely quail from. 

Having a lot of time in my hands, proved to be more dangerous than healthy.

Thoughts of things that throw me out of the loop. Incapacitating emotions that cuts me through and through. And visions of people that tremendously infuriate me undesirably march into my thoughts. Persistent. Scathing. Lingering. Almost embattled for my meek resistance. 

All the necessary elements present to draw me in a state of inexorable sadness.

That's it! I then protested to myself. No more lounging and marveling on how beautiful the clear blue sky is or how lush the green meadows longer than 10 seconds. 

Keep working and stay busy to keep those ghosts at bay. I end my stream of unwanted thoughts.

Solution is, enjoy the hustle and bustle of your life. Surely you have people buzzing around you, talk to them and be involved. Be resourceful yet independent. Be resolved but not confined. Be buoyant yet grounded. And keep the faith. ALL THE TIME. Whatever that is you're going through, it too shall pass. 

Life's one big chocolate truffle You first bite on the crunch then the delectable chocolate filling comes next. Creamy. Heavenly. Pleasing.


PS. I'm back from Cebu with gazillions of photos to upload. God help me.
