An Intro

-
This is not the first time I started a blog. I previously had one named "Ary Shu Gembala Sapi" but I could not manage it that well and it kinda stagnated.

I had a hard time deciding what the contents of this blog should be. Would it be food? psychology? devotions? But I came to the conclusion that I should share them all, but this time, I should pack it in the form of my daily life because all that IS part of my awesome life. So maybe not that different from my previous blogs, but maybe more reader-friendly. I will try to deliver the contents in a way that is both inspiring and entertaining. I know this will make the contents pretty scattered and some might want to read about psychology but cares not about food. I apologize in advance for that, but I make this blog for me so I will do what seems right for me. But that doesn't mean I will post random stuffs. I will try to post stuffs that will be useful or at least inspiring for anyone who reads it although it is impossible to please everyone. 

I will be posting in both english and Indonesian because I want this blog to be universal. 
I do realize that starting a new blog means I lost all my previous followers and reputations but that is not that crucial to me. I need an outlet for my daily lives and perhaps help others go through theirs.. 

I hope you will follow this blog and get inspired somehow. 

I will start off this blog with a quote : 

"We all have our own stories and our own pasts. If we do not look back, then how do we learn from our mistakes?"

I do hope my blog may bring you happiness somehow.
I know it will bring me mine.

Expressing Negative Emotions

-
Oleh : Ariyanto Yanwar, M.Psi., Psikolog One day, I encountered a video on a certain social media. The video showed a little boy, probably about 4 or 5, and the boy was crying. The caption was the boy had just made a mistake and the mother was in the middle of disciplining him (which she recorded and posted on social media. This is not a recommended action for positive parents). But I was stuck on a certain moment where after a few seconds into the video, the mother started yelling to the child, saying, “ No crying! You must smile! ”. Just a few seconds after the instruction, the boy started showing his teeth, grinning to the camera. His eyes were still red and his tears were still dropping but it was clear that the boy tried following the instruction and forced himself to smile. But it lasted for just a second and the boy started sobbing again, this time even louder. In response to the boy’s sobbing, the mother once again said, with louder voice than the last time, “ NO CRYING!! SMILE...
