It's a huge liberation to accept what is and what was. To build myself is actually the smartest investment I make.

Habits
What has gone well today and what has brought out negative habits? I wasn't late to work and I used stairs from basement 1 to the 3rd floor twice! I have my 10k race pack ready.

Protest
I have a strong tendency to avoid the negative chit chat in the office, you know when your friends talk about everything that goes wrong in the management, in the country, in the world? I don't want to engage with that kind of conversation. I don't want to ruin my inner peace, and yes I … Continue reading Protest

Komorebi
I don’t know what shifted.Maybe I’m too tired. Maybe I’ve cried enough.

The road was the same one I always take. The weight of my worries hadn’t disappeared. My husband is still … Continue reading Komorebi
Present
I don’t know why, but I woke up today feeling… romantic.Not about anyone in particular—more like a soft ache in the chest, the kind of mood where light seems golden, and small things stir the heart. At the same time, my body isn’t cooperating—headache, itchy skin, a creeping sense that maybe I’m allergic to something … Continue reading Present
Ambition
I am feeling ambitious today! Today, I tried the 10-minute method to cut my screen time. I set the timer on my smartwatch for 10 minutes before checking my phone. My goal? Just three check-ins a day. That’s 3 x 10 = 30 minutes of screen time. Ambitious—I know! 😁 I also registered for a … Continue reading Ambition
