I started out July being in a huge emotional turmoil, feeling uncertain about everything and anything, feeling like I cut myself short sometimes. But I felt like I ended July on a high note :) Feeling appreciative and thankful about many things. Sometimes you need the bad times to know what are good times right?
There was a bit more focus on health this month and it has been life-changing so far.
Here are my set of goals which have been very incomplete hehe. I decided halfway through the month to focus on specific goals rather than spreading myself thin. It felt pretty liberating from being too hung up on not finishing a particular goal I sought out while being able to far exceed in one/two goals.
- improve on mandarin - 1/2.
- improve on Indonesian - 0.
- read one book - 1. read two books
- Bad Blood by John Carreyrou
- Blink by Malcolm Gladwell
- improve on my painting - 1.
- be better at C&B - 1/2.
- blog once a week - 1.
- cook more often - 1.
Things that went well
- I learned that living a healthy lifestyle means you that you are still able to eat tasty food. I found a go-to food that I enjoy a lot that cost me 85 cents per meal to make (yea we damn bo-liao decided to count our cost of production for our meal. HAHA) I'm also starting to feel my hangry-ness going away.
- I feel more thankful for the people around me both at work and in my personal life, especially this month when I felt so uncertain about myself, sometimes you don't appreciate the people around you enough.
- I think I'm starting to find a lot more joy in my routines and lifestyle without having to "force" myself - I'm not sure how to clearly explain this.
Things that I can improve on
- Patience for everything
- Focus on what you can control
- Don't forget to always enjoy the process :)
I'm excited for August :)
