Declutter: 3 Things to Feel Grateful About

(pardon my haphazard drawings - I did this super duper quickly hahahah)

The year so far for me has consist of many uncontrollable circumstances, moments of self discovery, self doubt, moments I feel appreciative, moments that I feel restricted, lost and a few instances that I made bigger decisions. As we draw closer to the end of half of this year - amidst the present mess - I thought it would be good to take a quick step back and perhaps do a little moment of being appreciative about what I have at present

(does not consist of all my friends I have male friends too, but most of my friends are super tall i don't know why lol)

1) People around me

I'm not someone who is a super words person but I'm thankful for people in both my personal and professional lives. The ones who have given me countless of opportunities to help me grow, see myself at a different angle. People who are busy but have made it a point to listen and be concern about me while sharing with me about their lives as I listen. I'm thankful for people who understand (understand that I'm a horrible texter too), who inspire me and who share with me stories of their own personal lives. They make me understand and listen better. I'm genuinely happy to see people improving and grow :)

2) Having internalised some habits in me

I've havent been extremely disciplined with my habit tracker. It's partly because I want to ensure that tracking my habits gives me that sense of accomplishment rather than going through motion. Interestingly, some habits have stuck with me well as I continue to let loose and be more carefree when it comes to my day to day living. Here's some examples:

•  My morning routine consists of me reading my book
• I continue to do my runs, even on days I don't want to, it's really weird. 
• I continue to make my be and clean my room even if I'm super lazy to, extremely automatic lol

3) Learning to be curiously aware

Learning anything new is always a tough cookie. But being curiously aware and admitting my ignorance have been so so helpful. I genuinely admit to myself I have a hard time trying to understand something rather than "pretending" what I don't know. The sense of achievement that comes with it when you finally understand is amazing! While I'm still trying to unlearn certain a cautiousness from a few terrible teachers and managers I had in the past, I'm pretty excited to work on this part of me :)

So yep, that's it. Another bite-size entry to remind myself to keep pace and carry on. Typing this as the sun goes up while listening to the jazz & coffee playlist on Spotify x)
