Day 18 / 108 Challenge

#18

"I bow to reflect that my teacher's lessons are inside me"

Not off to the best start of the week, as I failed to get up early to get studying done. However, I was an absolute warrior at work today. It felt like I was doing 1.5x workload (yet I still have pending tasks to tackle).

On another thought, I am loving this 108 challenge. One, it does not feel like a challenge (don't get me wrong, it is not a piece of cake to complete all, every day). The right amount of balance between enjoying life and being discipline exists compared to 75 Hard Challenge.

In fact, I start to enjoy life in a much healthier way. We live in a society surrounded by abundant sources of dopamine boost. If we are not carefully selecting when and how much to utilize them, we get addicted, slowly lose our discipline, and move away from productive activities that gives you long-lasting satisfaction. From my past 2 weeks of getting back into being discipline, I experience less down mood and longer up mood. Honestly, sometimes I am too busy to realize I crave drinks, desserts or mindlessly watching videos. By the time I am done with my tasks, I am often tired that I want to simply fall asleep.

Reflecting on today's prayer, me realizing what I mentioned above through experience is probably the fact that the lessons are inside me. I just needed to realize that the wisdoms existed in me already. I just had to listen to my mind and find out.
