Creativity has always been my weakness. It was something I always wanted to pursue, but never felt I could achieve. The irony is that my childhood was filled with creativity – I was encouraged to sing, write poetry, and pursue hobbies. However what I wasn’t taught, that is vital to creativity, is that it’s okay […]
Winter is coming… NYC winters are always difficult. Especially if you’re living in a small apartment that’s windowless. My winters have turned 180 since I moved to an apartment with wall-length windows, letting the sun come in. Even though I had windows in my previous apartment, I always had my curtains shut for privacy because […]
Think Like A Monk has a wealth of information. Jay Shetty didn’t hold back as he provided all his knowledge since becoming a motivational speaker in one place, in this one book. I can say that because I’ve been following his content from the very beginning. He addresses every important aspect of your life, from […]
If you’ve read my previous post on self-discipline – you’ll already know I lack in it…greatly. Which is why this morning I was more than grateful that I could fight through my intense desire to snooze my alarm a third time and go to the office. Thankfully I succeed some mornings…and unfortunately, fail on others. […]
The past six months have been a mental struggle outside of job hunting. If you read my post on self-actualization, you’ll know that I have been going through an existential crisis. What makes it worse, is that I have not found the answer yet to this internal turmoil. During my search, I have gone through […]
I have been relatively happy these past few months. Yet, simultaneously I would also define them as a struggle. I have had a difficult time defining these confusing emotions to my therapist. One week I was blaming my lack of routine to be the culprit for why I’m feeling this strange empty feeling. But then […]
I’m not a podcast or audible listener. Unfortunately, NYC commutes are not meant for podcasts. Usually, it would end up resulting in infinite rewinds. First, you’re unable to hear anything because of the loud outside city noise. Second, you’re trying not to trip in a fast-paced race to the next destination. If you attempt to […]
Discovering my personal style was a recent journey I decided to prioritize this past year. In NYC, people are loud about their identity. Ironically, despite being a native New Yorker, I’ve always preferred to be in the background. Never wanted to be in the center of attention. This didn’t do much for my confidence when […]
You may think this is an EF Ultimate Break Review. It is, but it’s also not. It’s about how I took a leap of faith to travel by myself, which is something I never imagined doing with my personality. As well as how I ended up prioritizing myself, which lead to one of the best […]
Every once in a while, I have someone tell me that there was this one book, movie, or talk that changed their life. I could never relate. I would read the same book or watch the same movie they recommended and often come out liking the booking or movie, but not immediately transformed as they did. I’ve noticed that while reading or watching life-changing content, oftentimes never leaves the impact it should have on us. Perhaps because we never linger on the content.
