Why is Taking Time for Self-Reflection Important for You?

“Have you ever paused amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life to ponder on your goals, dreams, and values? In the whirlwind of our routines, self-reflection often takes a backseat, yet its significance cannot be understated. By taking the time to reflect on your beliefs, ambitions, and challenges, you pave the way for self-improvement and a deeper sense of self-awareness. It allows you to filter out the external influences and focus on what truly matters to you. By aligning your actions with your values, you cultivate a sense of purpose and direction in your life. Moreover, reflecting on your achievements and blessings cultivates a sense of gratitude, enhancing your overall well-being. Whether it's through journaling, meditation, or a quiet walk in nature, these moments of solitude can rejuvenate your spirit and foster a sense of tranquility.”

The morale in my division is already low, and it just got even lower after knowing that one of the directors is leaving. This is already the 4th or 5th person from our management team that’s leaving, starting with our Big Boss. And normally when so many people at the top leaves… it’s a sign…

I’m not sure how I can continue to work when the everything seems so down. Not just me, but those colleagues that had been in the team for a long time are all feeling this way too.

I’m going to take it slow today and do some serious decluttering of my mind and house. Let’s see how the day unfolds later…

Later…

You know, doing something that you love really changes your mood a lot. It’s almost midnight, and the adrenaline rush in me isn’t fake. I know I’m happy, even if I’m tired, while I’m doing up my website. I can feel the ideas flowing in one after another, and the feeling is GREAT!

Dato Joey always says, “Why wait for the future? Why can’t you live in the future, and bring the future to the present?”

Yes, why can’t I? Why can’t you? Do I need to always procrastinate? I’ve got tons of ideas and inspirations, why not just make it come to fruition? Those ideas that align with my values!

Earlier on, I was teaching my boy for his Chinese spelling. It’s not an easy task and I have to find different methods to engage him. I need to understand that he needs to have small little goals. But I am proud of myself for holding back my anger. There is one point though where I almost lost it and smacked the mouse on the table, which he thought was due to the bottle that dropped. I almost LOL.

Well, another day is gone, let’s hope tomorrow will be better!
