Frozen Memories

It seems like army has got a funny way of making people have poor memories. Something that was known only the previous week can change almost instantaneously. There are many things that will make us lead our lives in certain ways and more often than not, are memories.

Good memories and bad memories will tend to shape how we will lead our lives in the future.

If one has bad memories about a particular incident, it doesn't just end there. The feeling of fear will just make a person shy away from the things that recurs. If there are good memories about certain things, confidence will be there when attempting the same situation.

Hardened Mind

Stress can cause more than just frustration. It can cause anxiety, anger, lack of sleep and most important is depression. For people who don't have a strong mind, they will crumble when their stress level is too much - yet for people who are strong in the mind, depression can also cause them to suffer from anxiety.

So how does one handle stress? One of the ways people tend to use is to bottle things up (which makes things worsen.

The ways that I would suggest (though it may not be officially correct) are as follows :
1) Speak up to a close friend.
2) Listen to music while relaxing (must be soothing or at least something that doesn't make u think about the problem.
3) Exercise (for people who like to sweat it out.
4) Get a massage or go for a spa treatment (for those who can afford.. that is.., though massage can be requested from your friends if u allow.)

The ways I would suggest you NOT to do :
1) Blaming someone for the stress (that includes blaming yourself).
2) Bottle things up (please do not add stress to yourself).
3) Binge on food (common mistake for ladies and some guys).
4) Drown yourself in alcohol (doesn't solve problems, adds to your financial burden as well as a catalyst for getting yourself into trouble).

Thoughts

For all my friends,
Please take good care of yourselves.
Life now can be temporary,
but decisions made can last forever.
Seek help from people you trust,
Do not keep everything in your heart.

I promise that I'll be here for all of you, always.
