Cross over to 2025 was fantastic, then the challenges start

avatar

What a roller coaster ride it has been since 2025! For ending on a high note at the end of 2024, pushing through hours with persevering spirit, thinking the worse was over (because I had fever attack twice right before New Year’s eve) and ended up on a down with flu contracted from a colleague who came in New Years with massive cough and flu.

When Immunity is attacked

When you are in your youth, you pretty much bounce back within 24 hours; but there are days when your body is lack of proper sleep and no work-life balance (overflow with too much stress), even when you want to wake up, your body crashes to a still spot.

Immunity is a weird fella. It can work for your benefit, and it can work against you, especially when it is no longer functioning in a balanced environment in your body.

When the body chemicals are disrupted, things such as allergy will happen (over sensitive immune reaction); however, no matter how advance western medicine is, it is not supposed to be a long-term solution.

A balanced chemical in our bodies are the essential of long term consistent ability to recover whenever illness hits.

This round of "under the weather" episode has really caused my hormones to go all over the place, I am sure for some who already experienced menopause / pre-menopause they will know this is not a "choppy seas journey" to enjoy.

It is easier to say "just embrace it! It's going to be all right" than to really walk through it. The hormones that floods in mood swings (because of chemical imbalance) effects also the mind, the heart (sudden spikes of irregular heartbeat) and not to mention, the other body parts; for my case, my voice was affected.


Colourful looks like candy; but the side effects of gastritis and feeling like your intestines are burning isn't fun at all

As a vocalist, voice care is important, but allergy and (imbalanced hormone) stress do play a major part disrupting. This is particularly more crucial for Christian worship levites because unlike the secular single vocalists, you can sing with your (up and down) emotions; but levites need to maintain consistent to usher in the presence as a team. Just like in the choir, all the voices are one, like a symphony; otherwise it can be very disruptive to the ears, to the heart, to the emotions.

Just yesterday's experience while serving, I had a clear revelation and realization: when I was not in the right state of mind for the entire week (other than battling flu) and depression flooded in with all the false narratives attacking my thoughts (and trying to get rid of all the phlegm accumulating), I was not able to hold a note at all and wasn't even able to breathe smoothly the entire first session; with a snap awakening clarity during break-time (we had 2 services) after a proper chat from my head team of audio and visual, the shift to having a relaxed posture to hit all the high notes at ease was significant.

Because the state of mind is at its right place

This is just a small activity, compared to a right state of mind for your daily chores, responsibilities, career and life as a whole.

Imagine when right state of mind is set despite the circumstances is not favourable (like not feeling well), the chemical balance in the body can return and the ability to cross hurdles and challenges is immensely important.

Of course, for me, Jesus plays an important role shifting into the right state of mind.


Just so you know, when the "choppy seas" happened, it literally not only crippled my ability to sing, I couldn't even pen down and post here, no matter how hard I tried to snap out from a near frozen state


To make things worse, no "sugary substance worked".

  • Not chocolate
  • Not icecream
  • Not usual favourite snacks even

In fact, it make it worse.


Until Then

Stay healthy, stay curious and learn new things, and stay happy!

Hey there, the Bilpcoin team just wanted to give you a virtual high-five we manually curated this post.

Their attempts to intimidate and silence their critics are equally concerning. The use of downvotes as a means of censorship is a clear indication of their desperation to maintain their grip on the narrative. But it's not working

The Hive community has been plagued by a rise in spam accounts sharing stolen content. Many of these accounts appear to be linked to a single super farm that we've exposed @memesandstuff superfarm and we believe a prominent whale may be behind it

A Call to Action Against Downvote Abuse on Hive

Bad downvotes on Hive are a growing concern that must be addressed. These downvotes not only discourage users from sharing their real thoughts and ideas but also damage the community as a whole, we see many walk away

https://peakd.com/@buildawhale/activities

https://peakd.com/@themarkymark/activities
https://peakd.com/@usainvote/activities

https://peakd.com/@adm/activities

The Buildawhale farm scam has been a topic of concern for us, and we've exposed it. However, despite our attempts to bring attention to this issue, it seems that no concrete actions have been taken to address it. This lack of response is puzzling

Let's discuss a more serious issue that affects all on Hive. The prevalence of bad downvotes on Hive is a major concern, and we urge you to speak up if you've been affected by it. Don't be afraid to share your experiences speak up

Fighting a Losing Battle When you try to silence the truth with downvotes and lies, it's not just the truth that suffers - it's your own credibility. As the transactions are publicly visible, it's clear that attempts to suppress the truth
