Good Rituals

January 2017, a month in 2017 has passed us by. So quickly. Did you notice it? I sure did, work has been really busy but fun. Many projects coming in. Alhamdulillah, syukur.

I’m slowly adapting into new positive rituals while slowly tossing out them nasty shit.

  1. Do everything thoroughly, thoughtfully and with intent.
    Have a good intent. Do it right. If it doesn’t feel right, stop and just leave it be.
  2. Try doing nothing for 10 minutes a day at least.
    You deserve a downtime. Complete solace.
  3. Disconnect from technology and work for a while when you get home.
    Take a break. Recharge. Realign. You’d be able to do more chores in a shorter period of time. Get to do things at a better quality too without the distraction.
  4. Be present when you are with your loved ones.
    With technology at your fingertip, we tend to focus on it so much more. Social Media will forever be there, but the ones around us might not. Take a break from tech and be there. Be present. You don’t want to be missing out on major life events.
  5. Start a journal/blog.
    Write things down. This helps you to remember and also a good way to reflect. It could be virtual or even in a book. What works for you, should work for you.
  6. Prioritize.
    Your task, your goals, your time and the people you love. Focus on what is truly important first!

Hope this rituals follows through. What’s yours? Any tips for me? Do share.

A Letter to Myself #1

It’s January 2017, the very first month in 2017. It’s been absolutely amazing. Alhamdulillah. Syukur indeed I am. Many important dates accomplished.

The year may have just started, but I’ve already crossed out a couple of my goals. So glad at how things are panning out for me. Hard work and hustlin’ has definitely been fruitful.

I’m a person who has many goals; financial, health, wealth, travel and many more. Some are written down in my trusty silver organizer and some on my phone. I’m toying with the idea of using Evernote but we shall see as my love for pen and paper is still too strong.

I’ve been in the dumps and I’ve been at better places but I know I’d be at an even greater level God-willingly. I’m also grateful to go through a few ordeals to reach certain goals with you by my side. 

As for those haters and assumers who plays God. Continue your speculation and assumptions, you’re just fuelling me. Clearly I am way ahead hence you’re so green right now.

Alhamdulillah. To greater things in life.

Mondayitis Wise Words

Exactly how I see life. Promote what you love not harp and bash over what you hate.

Sometimes we get too consumed over the world and it’s cruelty. Take a breather and be more objective. There is always that fine line of silver.

If It Gets Too Much

Life has not been a bed of roses of late. Things had been topsy turvy for me. Sigh the challenges I have had faced this year alone. This few months to be exact has been hell. There are many ways to cope with it and here are some of my best tips!

  1. Take a long hot shower or bath. (I love the later with a good book, soothing music and scented candles, ahh bliss)
  2. Deep condition your hair. Either a hair mask or just your regular conditioner would do. Cover your hair with your shower cap. Wait say 15 minutes.
  3. Scrub your face. Clean your pores. Mask your face. A lil home facial would do your skin good.
  4. Escape with your favourite TV shows.
  5. Light a candle.
  6. Cook!
  7. Paint your nails a happy colour!
  8. Draw, colour or even paint.
  9. Write in your journal.
  10. Have your favourite dessert or ice cream.
  11. Listen to your favourite song and dance a lil. Let loose.
  12. Take a deep breathe. Restratergize.
  13. Go for a drive. Anywhere.
  14. Have a cup of coffee or tea. It could be at home or even in a cafe.
  15. Go for a run. It would be a swim or hitting the gym for me.
  16. Switch off your phone.

I now put my phone on sleep mode, it helps me zone out and get more solid rest. I did not realize how much I needed it till late. Thank goodness for the 5 reading incident.

Hope them tips helps! Stay golden. Stay classy.
