Do What You Love

Since turning 49 last week, I have been waking up with mixed feelings; somewhat clouded.🤯

I am grateful that my loved ones💕 are all well during this pandemic. I am well, maybe just like you, I am fighting the glum prospects of Covid-19. That engulfing fear and trauma are very real throughout Malaysia. The rising numbers are worrisome ever so when my family and I live amongst these neighborhood clusters. Sigh…🥺

In the still of early mornings, I roll out my yoga mat and sit in a lotus fashion. Breathing slowly in and out. Breathing deeply, I picture myself a stillness of calm. With every breath, encouragement appears in my mind. My day has begun…

I continue with my daily HIIT workout sessions. As a personal promise I made since March 2020 - to love and take good care of myself. I have succeeded every single day now. Some days are more enthusiastic than others, some days are laborious (hehehe😅). While I have a structured plan, I also listen to my body. I feel good vibes as I watch the sunrise, flexing the core; and if I have to take it easy, then I will take it easy. However, I shan't stop. I’ve been listening well. 🙇‍♀️

While I work out preparing the body to take on tasks of the day, many things trespass my thoughts. The top 3 things I cogently tell myself:

✅1. Pit-stop. This period of COVID-19 is (a necessary) pit-stop!
Thank God for the pause. This has enabled me to recuperate and take stock of my life and everything that’s going on around it. In a way, I am happy I have this pause. Focus.

✅2. Long term performance vs short term noises
This pandemic is not perpetuity. The light is already at the end of the tunnel albeit obscured, but it will appear. When the light does shine, I must be prepared and able to absorb that energy and share that radiance. Every touchpoint I make will see luminance.

✅3. Housekeeping
Making time daily to compartmentalize and clear up sections in my life that needs attention. I kid you not. From the mundane, it can be filling documents (ugh); or cloud-saving treasured photos of loved ones! Hehe, my sons thinks that filling and documenting is my hobby (duh!!).

At 7:03am, the view of the sunrise🌅 from my balcony beckons a great day ahead or perhaps, a day filled with happy thoughts. Either way, it’s a big win! 🌸Nature's beauty and abundance are easily taken for granted - the stillness of dawn; rain and sunshine and that freshness of mornings. Let’s soldier on. 🕺🏻💃🕺🏻💃
