Recovering from extreme sadness due to several factors such as break-ups and family fights make us feel frustrated and feel like it is the end of the world. We tend to be in despair searching for some ways to let go of this burden that keeps bothering us but it just seems to stay. In short, the more we try to find ways to just forgive and forget, the more that the  ghosts of these pains run after us. As a consequence, we end up loosing our self esteem and start thinking that we will never get that kind of self fulfillment which we have dreaming of. If you could relate to this scenario, then you have to start betting your boots, as this article is a must read for you. What you are about to read right now are simple ways which you could use to release whatever ill feeling you have been keeping deep within you for a long period of time.  These strategies are ones which I myself have tried and tested to be effective towards picking up the broken pieces of your heart and eventually  feel enlightened and ready to face another life's challenge. Here are the 5 Easy Ways to Release Your Sadness.

  1. Write - Putting your thoughts into writing would help you let go of the moments which you do not want others to get to know. As a writer and a teacher, I am someone who tries to     keep a positive image to other people. This is the reason why I keep my problems for quite some time then later release them by scribbling whatever comes out of mind. There are also times when I need to write a letter to someone a hate most and say everything ( as in everything) that has brought me painful memories. After doing that, I end up burning  the written article and I would feel better.


2. Treat Yourself - Several self-help books that i have read said that the only  only way to be sure to yourself is to learn how to love yourself. When you feel sad, you can't help but feel angry and rejected and you find it difficult to move - on. You don't have to worry that much because being melancholic simply means that you have given way too much to the one who had brought your sadness and you just can't take the fact that he only neglected you.  To find a solution to this problem, all you have to do is start giving yourself a lion share of pampering. Go and make yourself look pretty and handsome or perhaps you could go shopping and buy a new pair of jeans or shirt that would somehow make you look confident and cool.

3. Meditate - Meditating simply means giving yourself some quiet time when you get confused about everything. This is one way of making your thoughts, feelings, and body system be harmonized  to each other which in turn will enable you to have a peace of mind. To some religions, meditating is one form of having a conversation with God. But as for myself, I believe that meditation is one way of temporarily  skipping from the chaotic world of problems through silence and I also believe that it is through silence where you could find enlightenment.

4. Socialize - Aside from the various advantages of the previous mentioned options to relieve your sadness, another way to release your problem is to socialize with the people whom you trust more. Try attending some parties where you could meet new friends and have some fun and adventure. It pays to laugh a little even when you are in distress as it only takes few muscles to smile and more muscles to from.

5. Pray -  This is the most important thing that you have to do in order to survive trying times. Regardless of your religious beliefs and ideals, asking for the divinity of your God to turn your winter days to summer would definitely work well.

So there you have everything that you need to do when you feel that all of  the things that you have been wanting to do and achieve have all fallen out of order. Just don't think so much of your sadness because I know that there's someone out there who is writing the perfect life story for you and this sadness of yours is just a part of it. Cheer Up.

English Language Students Ramp 4 Faces of A Rock Star Inspired Call Center Applicant Fashion

                Its nice to have you read my blog once again dear readers!!! . I am right now saying this greeting with a hug and kiss coming from me (mwaahugggss) .

                  Oh well it is pretty obvious that I feel very happy and fulfilled today  because my TESDA - LSI - English Language   students liked and enjoyed the activity that I have prepared for them today. This has something to do with dressing up and fashion , since I believe that one among the many ways to acquire confidence in terms of language abilities is to be physically and mentally comfortable.To break the monotony of usual lectures, I ought to teach them how to carry themselves with confidence and style while wearing clothes that define who and what they are through a 3- phase fashion challenge. That included putting on make up, kitty heels relay and of course their favorite dress-me-up activity. On the last phase of the challenge, my learners were given the chance to compete per team as they dress up their models intro three different images which include dressing-up a fashion and advertising, avant-garde and rock star image of a teacher and call center applicant respectively. Among these three dress up challenges, the idea of wearing a rock star inspired call center applicant outfit  caught most of my attention because I know that It would be difficult to bring out a rock star image and maintain the standards of professional mode of dressing. I particularly liked their outputs and this is  the reason why I am sharing you the 4 Faces of A Rock Star Inspired Call Center Applicant Clothing. I can now see that you are pretty excited to take a look at them. Thus,  I won't keep you guys waiting.
 
Here are the Rock star inspired call center wannabees  1,2,3 and 4  in counter  clockwise order
1. Rock Star Inspired Call Center Agent Wannabee Number 1: This female locked inside the man's body is  the model who is holding the baton in the photo. According to his group-mates, their inspiration was Lady Gaga and they also say that his outgoing personality enabled them to come up with the said concept. To site his outfit further, his classmates decided to use  a red inner blouse which they say symbolizes the model's active personality. They topped the fabric with a black blazer paired with black pants and dark rock star sunglasses with large hoop earrings for  accessories.  During the deliberation, I told the group that the outfit rocked but they have overdone the styling. If I were the employer, it would most likely appeal to me that the applicant would merely go into my company just to flaunt his image and the huge earrings would surely be irritating for the applicant once he gets into his station and wears his headset. My over all rating : 5 stars.


 2. Rock Star Inspired Call Center Agent Wannabee Number 2 : The boy next door has been transformed by his stylists into Harry Potter's Rock Star Version, you may not have seen his clear eye glasses but during the judging and deliberation, they made him wear  eye glasses which gave him that professional image. The rock star aura became evident as he put on his black long sleeved shirt which was rolled up to depict a less formal personality. They also let him wear a printed black and white necktie plus his hairstyle was a bit spiked to further create their target image. As a judge, I told them that their creation had a balance between professional and rock star clothing. They were able to make the model look honorable with his rock-star inspired smart -casual outfit. My over all rating: 10 stars.

3.  Rock Star Inspired Call Center Agent Wannabee Number 3: This licensed criminologist  model ramped her way while projecting the Rock Star Inspired Call Center Applicant Outfit. We can vividly see in the photo that her hair has been pony tailed like a fountain and her clothes are obviously all black. The group paired her outfit with a Rock Star inspired leather black belt and a customized hand bag made from a knotted long sleeved blazer.  The group's creativity to come up with a customized bag just to have an accessory that matches the outfit impressed me. I also liked the confidence and projection of the model as she made me believe that she was a part of what she was wearing. In other terms, she really looked and acted like a real rock star fanatic. Despite the fact that I was impressed with their ingenuity, her hairstyle captured my attention. Since the task was to come up with an applicant that has to have a touch of being a rock- star, I would say that leaving her hair untied would create a more professional image. My over all rating : 9 stars

4. Rock Star Inspired Call Center Agent Wannabee Number 4: She's the simplest yet one of the prettiest in the group of models. Despite being the only girl in their group, her male stylist was able to capture an Avril Lavigne inspired call center applicant. Her outfit was really simple but her beauty and style rocked the whole class. The group dressed her up wearing black topper with plaid inner blouse and stripes necktie. For her bottoms, she wore black jeans paired with high heeled black shoes and a silver chain accessory that hang on her pants. As for her hairstyle, the stylists decided to make it look simple and untied yet neatly combed. As for my impression, She Rocked My World....I was speechless. My over all rating: 10 stars
