When you are in a pressure-cooker and you can't do anything about the situation, you are going to go to blogger.com, login to your account, resist to dedicate a blog to complain about insolents and idiots, and guide your neurons to spark on other subjects such as ...
HOW TO DEFUSE THE BOMB WITHIN YOU
(1) Don't reply to the fire sparker
When you see red, you don't open your mouth or else... hopefully (but highly doubtful) the recipient won't see red or both will be so red, we both will look like squashed tomatoes.
(2) Force a laugh
The moment you force a laugh, it's like you are pouring water on the fire. It makes you look so silly, your self-righteous fire is immediately sizzled cause no one else hurts your pride more at the moment than yourself when you laugh like a maniac.
(3) Listen to soothing music
Okay, time to open my Winamp for my .... WHAT?! My Jazz folder is deleted?! *SCREAMS*
Hahhaa, kidding, I needed the diversion okay?
(4) Blog about something else
Like what I'm doing now... and give your best while you are at it.
(5) Get a pet dog
I miss Jinn!!! Sigh, but it's true. Who is better to help you go through pressure time but a man's best friend? The moment you see their puppy eyes gazing into your soul, your stone-cold heart will break and sizzles.
(6) Eat
For some people, they are usually edgy when they are hungry. Eat something, get yourself filled so you can think better.
(7) Sleep
Heard of the famous phrase "I'll sleep on it"? A tried and tested method used by many famous people when they are confused. And when they wake up the next day, EUREKA! Or at least, they get to let their fuming feelings sizzle off over a length of time.
(8) Watch a comedy movie
Definitely a must if you have the time and your workplace allows it. Something to tickle your funny spleen. If anything were to be released, and if I can have a choice over it, why not release our laughter that bundle our burdens also?
(9) Don't answer the evil phone
Seriously, I hate phones. They are loud, annoying, and attention-seeking. And at most time, phone calls usually require you to do something or to listen to someone's complaints.
(10) Let go and let God
A famous phrase used by Pr Kenneth to sum up a God-focus lifestyle.
Is it true? Yes.
Does it work? Yes.
When you let go, you don't hold on to something that gives your agitation system a kick and well, you let go of your pent up energy.
And when you let God, you know your situation is being taken care of and that gives you hope over your situation. Does it really work? Yes.
A moment ago I was already stressed and a supplier had to give me a call to challenge on certain issues. After the phone call, I was irked but I just prayed a quick one and moved on. Moments later, she called back and said it was settled. This is just one of God's tricks.
Hm... this helps a little. I am mad but not as mad as seconds ago cause my energy is being diverted to something else other than the bomb.
:) cheers!
