I will remain optimistic and confident.

A really challenging thing may seem very big right now. Nevertheless, it will look less big in a few months, and in a few years, it will be so small that you won't notice it anymore. The first thing is to start.

A friend's WhatsApp status illustrated what I wrote in the first paragraph of this post. It made me think about the things I aspire to achieve now. Sometimes, they seem so big that I feel like I will never be able to accomplish them. As I mentioned in the first paragraph, the key is to get started.

I started this week feeling very optimistic about life. My first image for this blog post was posted on my WhatsApp status on Sunday afternoon with the caption, "In Christ, I am optimistic and confident about the new week".

Nothing has changed now, that feeling hasn't faded off and it isn't limited to this week alone but for as long as I live.



All about sunday.

On Sunday, I came home and found one of my most important things had been spoiled. Due to the fact that I have been very careful with that thing since I bought it, I felt extremely angry.

I couldn't blame myself for not locking the door to my room before leaving the house because the lock was faulty. It has been faulty ever since I moved into the apartment and I have been postponing when to get it fixed because other things kept coming up.

I said to myself that Sunday that I wasn't gonna postpone it again. So I logged into my Binance account and cashed out just the right amount. This was needed to buy a new lock. I also got a carpenter to fix it.

I walked to get the lock myself and called the carpenter to fix it for me. After I bought the lock, I looked at the sky from my phone's front camera on my way home. It actually calmed my anger, so I decided to take 2 more shots of the sky with my back camera.

First, there was the clear sky with the cloud, and then there was the clear sky with the sun. I'm not sure what magic happened but I know it somehow helped me feel less angry and calmed my nerves in a way.

It's just Tuesday today and yeah, I still feel optimistic and confident about life.

Today

Recently, something funny has been happening to me, and it's exactly what I've been craving. I have asked questions to find out if it is normal that I keep craving peanut burgers. If I had a million dollars right now, I would set aside 50% for the peanut burger. Isn't that crazy?

The replies.

I got two responses after I asked if it was normal that I keep craving peanut burgers.

  • The first person said that if it is too much, it may be a sign of anxiety.
  • While the other person said she senses pregnancy. I replied her saying that it would mean I am the Mary of our time honestly.

Within a week, I spent almost $5 on peanut burgers. Each mouthful of it makes me want to have more and more. I think I may be lacking something in my diet which is making me crave peanut burgers this much.

I love how crunchy the peanut burger is and the taste of the nuts too. Satisfying the craving by having some is supposed to help this craving go away right? In my case, it is getting more intense.

I love the peanut burger so much but I need to control the cravings so it doesn't wreck me financially. These days, it feels like I am working to earn money for peanut burgers, it's crazy!

You see, sometimes the peace we seek is just a tap away! I would feel better too, if I am the spectator of such clear skies. Indeed, Anxiety causes us to eat too much sometimes and what we call stress eating. Exercising can curb the appetite if it becomes too much. Came in through Dreemport!

Since I left my last place to work where I was gym instructor, I occasionally work out.

Before now,I workout everyday but not anymore and it's because I don't feel like it. Hehe...But I know that exercising is good, so my mind will always be up for it once in a while.

...and I really don't know what may be causing the anxiety if it cause is anxiety.

Nature most times helps yo clear the mind ans bring a special peace, I am saying this due to experience.

I don't know if your cravings are crazy, but there os this particular peanut burger that has successfully saturated my area above other peanut burgers, at first we all wanted it, but now my sister works there, so I don't even eat it like that again...

You'll get over it in time. And truly, anxiety causes you to eat more. You'll get over it.

It won't be bad to say that nature is magical.

Now that she works there, I guess she brings some home all the time and now, you guys have had enough that you don't long for it anymore.

Ita definitely not bad.

Exactly.
So when you war it to some extent, you'll not be able to eat it again.

Your calm method is very original. You always carry the phone, so you can see the sky as much as you need.

I didn't know what was peanut burger, but it looks good and tasty!

oh really! You don't know what a peanut burger is? I guess it isn't sold in your country.
If you type 'peanut burger' on google, I'm sure you would see it.

OMG I couldn’t imagine what it is!! Here in Spain we call them coated peanuts. The hamburger is nowhere to be found. 😂

When you mentioned cravings I thought the same thing but as you say, "I'd be the Mary of our time." Hahaha, that's a funny response.

"I'd be the Mary of our time." Hahaha, that's a funny response.

Hahahaha... Yeah, I said that because there's no way one can get pregnant without doing what a man and a woman do you know, and I'm currently celibacy so, you see hehe.

So sorry to hear you lost something - but glad that you took action to get your new lock and hopefully prevent such things from happening again.
