Water Therapy

Yesterday i went swimming and i think water has a very good neutralising effect. It makes one just feel like submerging into the water and not to surface up/out anymore. I tend to do alot of thinking, tho some are nonsensical ones, when i'm doing my laps. When i get frustrated over certain issues, i'll just vent out by swimming faster or by not letting myself breathe until i'm totally out of breath. Well, sometimes i will just dip right in and hold my breath.

Suddenly i recalled that sometime not long ago, someone told me that swimming is a "me" thing. A personal time and space, especially you feel very emotional that day. Actually it is really true and therefore it is really healthy to be disciplined enough to "cleanse" our souls once/twice a week. Not that we have alot of knots in our life, but sometimes we just like to think too much or hold too tightly on things which perhaps are no longer in our circle. Most of these things are "imaginative" in nature, the imaginary stress and pressure we like to put upon us.

Over the years, we learn to loosen a little. We learn to be strong and to let go when its time. We should not be too stubborn because at the end of the day, its ourselves facing our own stubborness.

There are many kinds of people living with and around us. I am definitely not those who go around to share with others about what i'm going through because i feel that ultimately, if you have tied a knot somewhere there in your life, you will still need to find a suitable solution yourself. So thats the whole point of lying low.

HOWEVER, being an optimist....
Things that are bitter or sourish, will turn out to be sweet ultimately, sometimes even in unexpected ways.
To this i believe.

Hang on there if you're stuck in the "melting" period. The bitter u get while struggling for the sweetness will be precious, no matter what the outcome is.

Suddenly i feel so relaxed.
The definition of happy can really be simple.
