Zen-Chill
i have started living by a new rule, the rule/way of Zen-chill! here is the basis for it, i flipped out one evening about a bunch of little stuff that happened. so in order to remedy this, for the next few days i sat down and racked my brain for answer to how i would be able to not make my self look like a Emo idiot next time stuff like that happened. the answer was Zen-Chill, the ability to be able to shrug stuff off, shrug off the stuff that makes you feel mad or frustrated. It all came to me when i was watching TV, (actually giving my brain a rest from pondering the subject.) and i saw a cartoon that had the typical skater dude in it, and he was relaxed about everything. it hit me like a brick between the eyes, the typical stereotyped skater, was totally chilled out in just about every situation, then i remembered i hadn't learned to skateboard. then i thought it would be great to learn to skateboard, cause it isn't about looking cool or stuff like that, it's about enjoying the activity, having fun. following that chain i branched off: fun is what it's all about so when you bust your arse you get back up again. all the while smiling, cause you know the next time you might do better. so i meshed it all to gather, you get mad or offended about something, don't start flipping out about it, cause it won't help you, just sit back and say "hey i can totally own this.... i just need to find a different angle." or if you are hanging out with pals and you start to feel all alone or ignored, DO NOT sit around and think about how they are ignoring you or why life is so bad and crap like that. you need to kick back and think, 'y'know i could really make the best of this.' and just start to think about some stuff you could do tomorrow or how you could liven the party so-to-speak. to sum it up, life has way to many spills, and they aren't always big ones, so instead of finding all the fertilizer in the garden look at the flowers, and if there aren't any make some, cause if you don't who will right? someones gotta take a little action, and it is fun as heck to as well.
