My ways to cope with anxiety/overthinking/worry

So today,
I am going to write the progression of my previous post,
Regarding of my anxiety and twitching problem.

Previously, that twitching problem is so severe that it happened like every 5 minutes.
But Alhamdulillah, 
It's getting better daily.
Now I have only a slight twitching.
And hopefully, I can fully be cured by this soon.

For my anxiety,
It will be sugar coating and lie if I say I no longer have it,
But I think, it is under control.
The ways that I did to control them will be listed as follows.
Maybe I can help somebody out there if they also feel this kind of "pain"

  1. Acknowledge that you have anxiety. And accept it. (Acknowledgment and acceptance is a very important step in fixing your anxiety. Denying that you are not having them will make you feel stress without realizing it)
  2. Ask yourself these questions:-
    • Are you stress?
    • If yes, what makes you stress?
    • Can you list them?
    • Can you identify why those things make you stress?
    • What can you do to remove the stress or at least lessen it?
    • On the scale of 1 to 10, how stress are you?
  3. Make yourself busy
    • Read good books
    • Watch positive vlogs
    • Surround yourself with good people
    • Go out to nature
    • Do what you love (Watch your fav movie, tv shows, listen to your fav songs)
    • Download app (I am using 21 days challenge app to make me busy and feel successful once I have completed the daily mission)
  4. Just relax.
    • Every time you want to feel sad. Or stress over something. Take a deep breath.
    • Chant a positive mantra to make yourself feel good about yourself, your current situation.
    • Change your belief system and tell yourself everything will be fine soon.
    • Trust Allah. He is the best planner, savior.
    • "Allah lebih besar dari semua masalah mu"
  5. Share it with Allah, share it with someone you love. Cry if you can, that will make you feel relieved and a lot better.
  6. Write. If you cannot share it, you can write it, or vlog it. You choose. As for me, I prefer to write.
  7. Listen to good music. Positive ones.
    • Currently, I have andmesh in my Spotify playlist, because his songs are all positive, his voice is soothing and the lyrics were super duper good. 
    • Senyum from him is good. Let me quote some of the lyrics.

"Tak ada satu pun manusia,
Yang tak pernah disinggahi masalah,
Mungkin inilah cara Yang Kuasa,
'Tuk jadikanmu lebih dari dewasa,
Senyumlah, syukuri hidupmu,
Tunjukkan pada dunia bahwa kau mampu,
Masih banyak yang lebih susah hidupnya,
Senyumlah, syukuri hidupmu"

Actually, this is a part of my challenge today. 
That 21-day challenge.
I need to write a journal or log my emotion today.
But I choose to write because that is what I love. 
Obviously! Lol
So that is all for today,
Alhamdulilah.
May Allah bring goodness to everyone.


Love, 
EFN

Be strong Faten

All my life, I have been struggling. Bila struggle tu, rasa macam I lah paling struggle. But of course I was wrong, lebih banyak, ribuan mungkin jutaan manusia/individu yang lebih struggle dari I. I know I am selfish, terasa seperti paling tersakiti, teruji. Walhal banyak lagi manusia yang lagi besar ujian from me.  I know. I know.  But I just don't know how to fight the demon in me. I can blame my childhood trauma, I can blame people, but blaming will never solve my problem. My question to myself is.. Okay Faten, what's next?  I am super duper thankful to Allah my husband is my support system. The biggest and strongest. He may not know how to pujuk ke, nasihat ke, manja kan i ke, lol. But he is super duper helpful when I fall into sadness and feel like not moving or want to do anything, he will definitely help me. TQ sayang. Moga syurga buat suami ku.  So semalam, I nak heal, i nak anak i pun keluar jalan-jalan so my husband bawa kami dekat tepi sawah. Yes, our pla...

We went camping!

                                             Alhamdulilah, All praises to Allah. If not Him who allowed us, we would never make it there. So, me and my husband went on our FIRST ever camping trip!!! Poor us because we never get the chance to go camping when we were in our school days, But Alhamdulillah, finally we got to feel that experience. I don't know where to start, but let me talk in rojak for this entry, lol Plannya adalah actually kami akan pergi with my ex-students. However, due to certain circumstances (nak cerita panjang, hee), only two of us je pergi. We went to GIBS Ecotourism Resort, the name of the place. Not so far, only 40 to 45 minutes from our home. Before we went there, dah plan dan excited tiba2 musim hujan datang. Hujan yang sangat lebat dan kadang2 ongoing. So sebab kami nak pegi dekat tepi sungai, of course worry tu ada. Kerisauan...
