Day 43 / 108 Challenge

#43

"I bow to know that suffering comes from an attached mind."

I cannot remember when was the last time I slept this peacefully. Blackout curtains seem like one of the necessities in getting a good quality of sleep.

I got studying and exercising out of my way the first thing in the morning. I attempted a mock exam in preparation of the real one in two weeks. Solid results. As long as I keep reviewing materials until the due date, I should be fine. One less thing to worry about now.

I left my afternoon fairly open, and since I completed the daily challenge before noon, I decided to give myself a little recovery time. After all, my body was requesting for one anyway. In the evening, I was craving sushi so I searched a new restaurant I had never been to and went to dine-in by myself. Walking there and back, and tasting food were amazing. Helping few lost visitors in the city was fulfilling as well.

I made sure to spend some time catching up with my friends and family throughout the day too. I find that it takes SO LITTLE of your effort, and yet gives you tremendous amount of return in having good relationships.

Today, I am grateful of who I am as a person. One that cares about himself, and others who he loves by being a better version of himself every day. I notice more and more that if I become the person who others like to have around, good people will surround me naturally.

Journalling will help me keep being that person. Recording my daily thoughts and feelings reminds myself of what is needed to be that good person.
