Last year, I was really motivated and so focused on my own betterment. I do well at work (I know I still do well at work now but not as good as before), I always go to the gym after work, and had a healthy lifestyle. I was a matured, responsible, independent woman last year but due to unavoidable scenarios, my life crumbled and started to lose myself. I had so many plans for myself this year. I still planned to workout, continue having a healthy lifestyle, and even start creating more (arts & literature), but apparently, I noticed that I am slowly becoming a lazy woman who only gets up in the morning for work for the sake of never-ending-cycle of living. I lacked discipline and depended my actions on others. I also got very busy in preparation of my two exhibits last month (February 2018) that my whole world became literally, a mess. But this month, my inner self hit me and helped me to become motivated again. Since I lacked motivation for the last two months, I need to take baby steps to fulfill my goals once again. I exercise for few minutes, first at least twice a week, until it will finally become a habit. I stopped going to the gym and I do home workouts instead. I added jogging in my routine at night and I find it very peaceful. During jogging period, I also had time to think, to contemplate about life, or to just not think at all. Sometimes, I look up at the sky, and close my eyes. After few minutes of inhaling the positive energy… I slowly release the negative energy inside me by exhaling, followed by a smile. I embrace the wind and appreciate more those little dots that glitters in the sky. To be honest, while I was typing this blog, I can’t help myself but smile and imagine myself once more in peace and solitude. It’s really nice to unplug and disconnect from your social media world… and any other worlds that you have, once in a while. It’s also nice to have real interaction with people, regardless if it’s a stranger, or a friend, or a family member. Sometimes, I really love going out by myself just to have a connection with real people. Like having a small talk with the vendor at the corner of our block, like greeting a “good morning” or “good morning” to security guards, it really makes me feel light and happy. Now, instead of wasting your time interacting on social media, why don’t you call your friends and ask them out? It’s really nice to talk to someone, see their faces, their expressions, and it really feels good to have someone around. SHARE THE ARTICLE: |
