I have not been writing my blog for a while.
There have been a few thoughts on my mind for the last few weeks, that I thought to pen them down.
1. Storerooms within ourselves.
Many a time, we have many things on our mind and keep things in our heart.
Things related to work, family and personal.
Things that we prefer to keep it to ourself.
Things that we choose to keep it aside and revisit later (that can be much much later at times).
It is very tiring to have a cluttered mind and heart.
At times, it may serves well to springclean our mind and heart.
Think through - what is really important? Focus our thought and energy to achieve what we want to do.
2. Importance of health
I am truly a person who will always find things to do. I just cannot keep still.
And I am always trying my best to do what I need to do.
But I think i am pushing myself too hard.
I had a very bad lower abdomen and lower back pain about a month ago.
I was very worried then esp the urine test results show high WBC contents and small amount of RBCs.
Worried that my mum will not be able to take another blow.
Worried that my sis will be extremely burdened.
Worried that I may disappoint my Significant Other (cos' I will not want him to be dragged down).
My lifestyle has changed a lot. I am no longer drinking coffee or at most 1 cup a day!! It just happens naturally. I am also drinking at least 1.5 litres of water each day. Might just as well.
I am also drinking and eating lots of cranberries, barley water (thanks to advice from friends, esp. Leonard).
The pain still comes back occasionally especially when I feel stress.
When it happens, I know it is time to take a neutral gear and breathe in and out.
During the last 4 weeks, i could not carry heavy things, overwork or not drinking enough water.
I have learnt the importance of health personally.
3. Our blindspots
Sometimes we have grown so acustomed to how we do our things and how we expect people to do things. Accept it or not, we will always have blindspots. Listen to others, and outcomes may be better with more than one brainy.
4. Attitude
Attitude is indeed linked to motivation.
Good attitude is something that all of us expect at the minimum.
It serves well to remember that good attitude is the thing that help to stand out amongst peers at work.
5. Elderly at work
I used to feel that elderly collecting dishes at foodcourt or at work are very pitiful.
I have a different perspective about it now.
It may be a good thing to work when old. It keeps the mind active and widens the social circle, though socioeconomic factors will somehow force most of us to be on this track.
Well, just keep a positive mindset and really slow down our pace when we are on this track.
Alright, going to sleep now...
A busy week ahead but its ok, I will breathe in and out along the way and I look forward to my NZ trip from 21st to 28th Sep!
Cheers :)
