Often times, when I am teaching, everything that I have planned does not work as I want to. In the beginning it was so frustrating until I read what Richard Carlson wrote in his book “Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff and It’s All Small Stuff.” Carlson (1997) reminds myself that when what you wish does not happen, my life is fine; I should let go of perfection to find peace.

On other occasions, I encounter people who behave unpleasantly and hurt my feeling. After reading an article onmayoclinichealthsystem.org, I decided to be kind for my own health and life. As mentioned in one article on Mayo Clinic Health System (2023) about the art of kindness that Kindness boosts self-esteem, empathy, and mood. It lowers stress and blood pressure, promoting better health and longevity.

I love chocolate. It calms me when I am upset or overwhelmed. It accompanies me when I celebrate every small victory. Moreover, according to an article in John Hopkins Medicine (n.d.),"Having a healthy relationship with all foods is important for your mind and your body. But beginning or creating a balanced relationship with dark chocolate, in particular, may have a significantly positive impact on your overall health."

Blue is one of the most favorited color in the entire world, I myself had fallen victim into this beautiful color. Why is it? Well, according to an article made By Kendra Cherry (2024), "Because blue is favored by so many people, it is often viewed as a non-threatening color that can seem conservative and traditional. Blue calls to mind feelings of calmness and relaxation. It is often described as peaceful, tranquil, secure, and orderly. Blue is seen as a sign of stability and reliability."
