My Positivity Journey Begins: Smiling Every 10, Laughing Every 30 Minutes Since Sept 4, 2025!
A resolution that I made is to smile every 10 minutes and laugh every 30 minutes! 😊 My journey towards this began on September 4, 2025, and will continue until I'm sleeping with the earthworms under the graveyard! 📈

Recently, I took a health check quiz and scored 8/10. Among the 8 points, question number 5 was "😊 I feel positive and emotionally balanced most of the time." Interestingly, I marked this as true, even though it likely shouldn't have been. But why did I check it? Here's my reason:
In the past, I was a man constantly under stress. I was, honestly, a very serious person. I studied hard, worked hard, and was quite meticulous about everything. I always strove to be on time and to be the best, and I was often impatient (หรือ "hot-tempered" ถ้าหมายถึงโมโหง่าย). I usually rushed through my daily routines—walking quickly, driving fast. Crucially, I didn't feel very positive. I tended to complain vehemently if I saw something wrong.
For example, during my years as an Air Force nurse, in the very last week of my service, I received a call from a high-ranking military man. He told me he was looking for several military nurses who were about to be discharged to work for his relative's hospital. But there was a condition: a deposit of money for the nurse uniform. I believed him and paid the money. Eventually, I realized I had been cheated when he postponed my hospital visit three times. I didn't give up; I went to that hospital directly and explained the situation, asking for a job. The hospital officer informed me they weren't in need of any male nurses at that moment. This case became a hot issue when the hospital informed someone in the Air Force. They called me in to investigate the matter face-to-face with that big cheat guy too. I got my money back.
I also believe my emotional balance was unlikely to be as it should have been in general. I preferred to stay alone, reading books and listening to meaningful content. Rarely did I go somewhere to get some fresh air, like upcountry or by the sea.
All of that contributed to me aging prematurely. My hair started turning grey, and my face developed many wrinkles. Many people don't believe me when I tell them my age. Some have even said I must already be retired, like a 60-year-old! But in fact, no way! Don't judge a book by its cover, ha ha ha...
So, it's not too late. At my age of 56 years old, I have vowed to recover my physical and mental health 💧 back to a younger state. I will work out and eat fresh, green, and clean vegetables and fruits and try to avoid eating meat. And definitely, I aim to laugh to myself every 30 minutes 🤣, while also smiling every 10 minutes! 😁
As it's well-known, smiling and laughing help strengthen facial muscles and develop positive mental health, leading to a calm 🧘♂️, peaceful, and good emotional state.
You know, while writing this article, I've been smiling and laughing throughout this entire post! Ha ha ha, ha ha ha...😅
So, it's like we'll just be laughing all day long and doing nothing else!
