Being In A Relaxed Environment

Today is my best day. I'm going to make it my best day. Because it is a great day to be alive. Even though my sinus for the past week has been really bad.

So I went in to see Dr Steve and Dr Jo today. I like their place. The choice of background ambiance music I really enjoyed. And it's an uplifting environment.

The fasting month is well underway. And I'm enjoying the slower paced traffic on the road, and not too congested at certain times. A more relaxed environment keeps the body and soul relaxed as well. So I'm in a very relaxing mood these few days.

Enjoying My Own Company

I am enjoying my own company today. Not because I was alone but because I was present with myself. More in touch with my inner self. And even getting that close to myself, I'm happy with who I am. The past, the present and the future that I want for myself. That's all it matters.

Our Feet Are Sensors

A public holiday today. This is probably one of the very few, or the only, country in the world that has a public holiday to celebrate the ruler's birthday. And I feel lucky to have a ruler that really cares for his people. And the people loves him too.

So today I decided to empower myself by spending a couple of hours cleaning up my room. Feeling the clean floors and everything else dusted is refreshing to the body and soul. Our feet also has sensory nerves, sending the signals of clean and comfort to the brain, which in turn makes the whole body more relaxed. It's a great feeling.

We Can Never Prepare For Everything

The Drive Thru finally got approved and we opened two days ago. I think everyone must have let out a sigh of relief that the wait is finally over. Silly as it sounds but to a certain extent it does feel like we can now go on with our lives. Especially those who have been very hands-on all this while, working hard to get to where we are now, the fruit of the labour can now be tasted. Every little decision we've made in the past, whether low or high energy and intention, shows up today. So it's been a great couple of days.

And also, as much as we prepare and practice, there's still some hiccups that's bound to happen. Shows that we can never be over prepared. And we can never prepare for everything. It's how we handle the issues when they present themselves that's the key.

I've been spending more time with the six puppies lately. To watch their innocence really take me away from everything that the world is waiting on me. They really brought me to the present and my mind had nothing else but focus solely on them. Too bad they will soon be taken away. But I know I can't keep all of them. It's another lesson on letting go.

One Moment Of Complete Presence

I said I wanted to enjoy and appreciate the paintings right in front of me, I never got to it. Something happened, I got distracted, and that was the end of it. This happens quite often. I must remember to take time for myself and not do anything, and just be.

I had a heavy head this afternoon, almost getting a headache. It was tough during the workout session when my whole body felt lethargic. But after everything was done, something made me look up at the sky. As the sun was setting, the different colours were very distinct as they drew boundaries across the sky. I haven't marvelled the sky for a while now. And just that one look, one moment of complete presence, everything felt alright again.

I'm The One Making It Complicated

Just finished the Monday morning meeting and it seems I'm getting more and more impatient during these meetings. I had to stay very present and conscious about my feelings just to maintain composure. Seems like the meetings have lost its appeal to me. It's something I know it's necessary but it's also something I've never enjoyed. I'll need to find another way to anchor my feelings. I lose stamina after an hour and that's the biggest issue right now.

It could be as simple as just smiling more. It actually is simple. I'm making it complicated.

So today I intend to enjoy life. To continue to be present with where I am and see all that's right in front of me; which right now are the paintings on the wall. And I shall take a moment with them once again.

Be Conscious And Enjoy While It Lasts

Today has been a best day. Probably because there wasn't much to do and I didn't have to stress over anything. It's been rainy the whole day and I guess that helps. But now as I unwind for bed time, I only feel peace. Spending a bit of time with the dogs also can be therapeutic and calming. I will be conscious and enjoy this while it lasts.

Quiet Moments With Myself

Today I appreciate myself for my sense of care and responsibility towards the little ones. The local NGO has brought 6 puppies and their mother to our house for our care because my brother wanted to keep two as watchdogs. The past few mornings I have taken upon myself to make sure they get out of their temporary cage so they can do their business outside and get fed by their mother. I don't usually get out of my room till the morning is ripe but I didn't mind getting out an hour earlier to spend time with the dogs and then also cleaning them up. What they taught me was curiosity and sense of adventure in the purest form. 

I also discovered that the mother appears to be very humble. She came malnourished with some scars. Perhaps getting hurt physically in the past, she came forward and sat a few feet away as I called her and bowed her head. It took some effort for me to lift it with my hand and I found that quite heart breaking.

These days I'm enjoying some quiet moments before or after the cinema, to just sit alone and read while sipping a cup of coffee. I find the experience quite serene and refreshing every time. 

Another great day to be alive. And I trust myself fully for the decisions I will make throughout the day.

Buy And Sell

Today is another great day to be alive. It's a day to appreciate all the lessons that will come my way later, to be aware and to learn. And also another day to sell myself and my energy to the people that I meet, and to buy them into my life. To be aware of my actions and make the highest possible choices. 

Today will be a day to create.
