Day 33 / 108 Challenge

#33

"I bow to avoid expecting difficulty in my life."

I woke up today feeling better. It felt like I was getting back to my normal-self. Positive thoughts in my head all around, and they actually started to cure my cold. I still vividly recall the moment where I could not stop thinking in a positive way, my body all of a sudden rejected all the negativity, including the sore throat, out of me.

Luckily I was able to focus on recovering all day. I got some vitamin D from the outdoor walk, and grabbed myself a decent warm lemon ginger tea that I re-steeped too many times.

Tea that enlightened my morning

Another noticeable change was that I was able to focus on studying. My mind was no longer preoccupied with the real estate, that I was able to soak in other knowledge.

I also got to spend time with someone I deeply care about in the evening, and the walk in the city was very refreshing.

Today I am grateful to have a mind that can finally think positively majority of the time. It amazes me how different it feels to live depending on your mood and thought processes.

Day 32 / 108 Challenge

#32

"I bow to avoid expecting obedience from others."

Pressures make diamonds. More obstacles came along today, but I handled them very well. I found myself being more assertive, and I am slowly going back to my normal self. Although I am about to pay a hefty price on a life lesson, I feel more relieved with this decision. Now that there are materialistic changes that occurred, my old analysis is getting thrown out the window and I must pivot.

I believe sticking to my heart, and always being grateful will let me stay happy and that's all I need in life at the end of the day.

Again, I am so grateful that I have my family, friends, coworkers around me and I shall resume brightening this world soon.

Day 31 / 108 Challenge

"I bow to always be ready, but not to expect things to be easy."

Growing pains are real. However, I feel like I am getting used to it. The amount of anxiety and stress that I feel definitely decreased. Not sure if things materially changed, or that I grew a tolerance. I am now exploring few more exit options, and started to worry less about this investment outcome. I also believe that not being in the same environment (99% of my furnitures and stuffs are gone) definitely screws with your emotions a lot. Everything is very uncertain, and it is natural to be scary to those situations. In order to fight this, I now think that solidifying couple plans (or anything that gives me peace of mind) are key.

Today's prayer really spoke to me. "I bow to always be ready, but not to expect things to be easy." I thought I was ready for the challenge. Clearly, I underestimated the amount of stress and emotional turbulence. BUT, going through this will make me a stronger person in the end.

Again, I am so grateful to have great friends, family, and even supporting coworkers who accommodate me in my toughest time.
