Stop Using Smartphone Mindlessly

I realized today how much of a negative impact gadgets like iPhone has on my life and why we need to stop using smartphone mindlessly. When I didn’t have smartphone, I would wake up, freshen up, view the sunshine and enjoy the morning. But after I started using smartphone, which was way back, I started […]

Just Start Again

It happens over and over again. I’m starting to see the pattern. As soon as I miss a day, I start to feel demotivated to work on my goals. Most of the time, that single day is responsible for making me skip another day, and slowly my habit starts to downfall. It was very difficult […]

If We Are Exposed to a Luxurious Lifestyle

There is indeed a danger that if we are exposed to a luxurious lifestyle, we will lose our ability to take delight in simple things.

Keep the Consistency

Keep the consistency. I have been writing blog posts everyday since April 1st. I need favourable environment to write a blog post. There needs to be less distraction, and no one around. That’s why I close the door before I write anything. However, today I don’t have that environment. My friend is here and he’s […]

Plan in the Moment

For the past couple of years, I’ve been making plans on a whim. I don’t plan ahead. I plan in the moment. As for productivity, it’s not a good behaviour. It’s good to plan everything before. But for living your life, I think it’s good to just go with the flow. Yesterday, I had no […]

Expect Nothing: How to Have Happy Birthday

The Baseline: How To Make Consequences Work For You

There’s a baseline in everything you do. The minimum set of requirement for you to stay consistent at the work you are performing. It can be anything. While riding motorbike, for example, even if you are angry or happy or sad or hurt or whatever, you still look ahead in the road. That’s the baseline. […]

Cope With Emotional Instability

I am emotionally unstable. I don’t remember the last time ‘happiness’ was my baseline in life. Usually ‘happiness’ should be our default state in life. But we go through lots of situations in life that makes it difficult for us to stay happy. I often experience difficulty while becoming emotionally stable. If, for example, some one […]

Taking a Walk Anyway

I have been walking almost everyday since the earthquake in April 2015. I might have missed some days, but I walk daily. Today I didn’t particularly feel like walking. Weather was gloomy. It was about my breakfast time. I was yet to stretch, meditate and write a blog post (which I’ve been doing from April […]

Layers of Resistance: How To Get Rid of It

The biggest breakthrough for me while meditating has been to get rid of the resistance I face everyday. However, in doing so, I started taking it too seriously and made myself aware when I was resisting the emotion. Since I was too aware of it, I started to resist the resistance itself. And now I had […]
