Fight the fight
Today wasn’t a hot day. I stayed in most of the day, had a bare panel at work, and went into the comparison loop once again. I realize I have a tendency to check and recheck others, assuming a ton of things (like the fact that they’re developing and learning and I’m not), and then…

You live & learn
“It never ceases to amaze me: we all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinion than our own” Marcus Aurelius Trailing on from yesterday, today was a great day of food for thought. I did have quite a bit of headache for a good chunk of the day, but felt…

Gratitude…and more
Today was Sunday. I love my sundays. I found out this morning that my favorite workout teacher is leaving – she’s the one who got me into strength training. It was a big moment for me, but this coupled with the fact that people have been leaving at work, what a friend told me yesterday…

Focusing in
TLDR: “The more you push yourself into a direction that is not intuitively aligned with you and your inclination, the less you attract what’s meant for you.” Today was a beautiful day. I met with 2 close friends, and through our conversations, I came to some profound realizations about my thoughts, my reactions and the…

A feast for thought
Today was one of those very very very very interesting days. I had back to back meetings – no, not project meetings, but meetings with people that gave me so much reassurance! I realized I have people who are there for me – people who have my back, for me to succeed. And I have…

I’m a people pleaser…time for change
Today was another interesting day. Another day of realizations – but I did have a couple meetings today, so that was fun. I’m still unstaffed, but I’ve been told to wait patiently and enjoy the silence. I was also asked to be a panelist on a Support for Future online event from my university, and…

Go with the flow baby
“There’s something about action, the constant movement that really gets you out of your head” Today it snowed cats and dogs. I mean literally. And it never snows in Vancouver. See what normally happens on a snow day such as today is everything shuts down – meaning no one leaves their homes and we all…

When life hits pause.
Today was one of those days – those fidgety, anxious-ridden, restless ones. The ones where time truly stops, because I think I can go at the speed of light. Today, the day to day monotony got to me. The frustration caught up to me, and all I could focus on was – the time. I’d…

Comparing…oof
Snap out of it, respectfully. Make the most of where you are. It’s all temporary. The snap – her, Jan 2024 I’m sure you’ve compared yourself with someone today. Maybe because they’re on vacation. Maybe because they’re super busy in a project while you’re sitting idle. Maybe because you want something they have. Or maybe…

Choices.
“live life fully – because there is really no other option.” I want to say that I used to think having choices was a good thing. But I’m still a big believer in choices. I’m still that person exploring grocery stores because of the number of choices. I’m still that person to experience decision fatigue…
