Aiming to a better 2023




As we enter a new year, it's natural to reflect on the past and think about ways to improve ourselves in the future. While making New Year's resolutions can be a helpful way to set goals and intentions for the coming year, it's important to remember that progress and self-improvement are ongoing processes, not one-time events.

GIVE URSELF A CREDIT 

One thing that can be helpful in this process is to give yourself a pat on the back for all of the challenges you've overcome and the progress you've made in the past year. Whether it was dealing with difficult situations or simply making it through a tough time, it's important to acknowledge and celebrate your resilience.


As you move forward into the new year, it can be helpful to focus on small, achievable steps rather than trying to overhaul your entire life at once. Every small step you take toward your goals can bring you closer to the person you want to be.

" Focus on yourself so you can focus on others" 

One area that can be particularly beneficial to focus on is kindness – not just towards others, but also towards yourself. It's easy to get caught up in self-criticism and negative self-talk, but it's important to remember that we all have our unique strengths and weaknesses. By being kind to yourself, you can build confidence and resilience, which can help you to navigate the ups and downs of life more effectively.

So as you embark on the new year, try to keep in mind that self-improvement is a journey, not a destination. Every small step you take can bring you closer to becoming the best version of yourself, and it's important to celebrate and acknowledge your progress along the way. By focusing on kindness and self-compassion, you can create a foundation of resilience and positivity that will serve you well in the coming year and beyond. 

Cheers to 2023

Finding Strength in Vulnerability: My Journey with Anxiety

 Hello there! Can you believe we're already halfway through 2024? Time truly flies. Unfortunately, this year didn't start off on the best note for me. It's been a long, dragging few months, and just yesterday, I experienced a severe anxiety attack that lasted for three hours. It felt like my world was falling apart. I couldn't catch my breath, my heart was racing, and my body was shaking uncontrollably. What triggered this? It was just a normal Monday until this sudden wave of anxiety hit me. I had to leave my desk and talk to a colleague to try and distract myself. But the palpitations only grew worse, and I found myself telling my close friend that I needed to get out of there. As soon as I reached the bench outside, the tears started flowing. I felt more vulnerable than I have in two years. It reminded me of my first anxiety attack, which happened alone, in the middle of the night, leaving me feeling lost and scared. I've always been a worrier, constantly frettin...

Honoring Our Journey of Progress

Hey there, beautiful souls! How's life treating you all? Sending out a shower of blessings your way. Lately, I've been on another     journey of self-discovery and growth. It's incredible how we can be our own worst critics, isn't it? We often find ourselves tangled up in the web of our own expectations, only to end up feeling utterly devastated when we fall short of achieving what we desire. Yews ouch!   Ah, the vicious cycles of life! They have a way of knocking us down, hitting us hard in the gut, and making us question our worth. It's as if we're constantly riding a roller coaster, one moment feeling on top of the world, and the next, crashing down to the depths of despair. Oh, how I know that feeling all too well! But you know what? In the midst of these tumultuous ups and downs, I've learned a valuable lesson. I've come to realize that it's unrealistic to expect myself to be the same person every single day. Life is a constant ebb and flow, and...

Near-death Reflection

Two days ago,  I had an experience that shook me deeply and made me truly appreciate the precious gift of life.  After more than twenty years of driving, I was in a major car accident.  I don't remember much about the incident, other than the airbag exploding in my face.  I was in shock at the time, but perhaps thanks to my previous training as a crew member in an emergency, I was able to cope with the situation. But when I got home, I succumbed to emotions and found myself unable to do anything but cry and cry.  Only then did I realize how lucky I was to be alive, how lucky I am to be able to get home.  The fact that the man whose towing my car said it was a terrible accident and I could lose my life.  The weight of this awareness impressed me so much that I could only hug my mother and keep crying. This experience made me think about how I live my life.  Have I treated others kindly and respectfully?  Have I made a positive impact on those ...
