April is almost over!


" Neutral is state where you are not jumping ahead too quickly or moving too slow. Neutral does not mean being inactive complacent or passive. Its about a calm poise that allows new information and new possibilities to emerge before taking further action. When in neutral you actually increase your sensitivity and intuitive intelligence. Neutral is fertile ground for new possibilities to grow from."




Don Childre


This is the state that I am in at the moment, neither passive nor complacent. It seems like I am, but simply weighing a few options in hand. I guiltily confess, since graduating last December I have been relaxing, maybe because I have been working non-stop then continuing my study right after. I said that I owe it to myself to relax for a while, to justify why I need time to relax. De-stress for a while.


Options? Yes, I wasn't thinking of any other option early in the year. The plan was to graduate and find a job soon after. But the global crisis and recession in the UK have made me re-think of what I want to do. Working? Studying? Currently there are two options in hand and I intend to do both, God's willing. Not exactly choosing, is it? Intuitive intelligence? New possibilities? Hmm...I hope so. The Balmoral Prize that I won in December, kinda triggered it. Also the fact that I will be presenting about my dissertation in the APM event (also another competition) for Aberdeen Chapter. Will talk about this later. I am also hoping that this event will be a stepping stone for me to get a job even if it is for two years IF I get my post study permit that allows me to work here.


Until then, I will think of other options if these fail. I pray, NOT.

Interlude

I haven't update my blog for almost a year now, not because of haven't got the time, but there seemed to be lots of things to be done. I keep putting it off as I spent most of my time writing assignments. 7 months of reading and writing. More and more words were put down and after a while I get sick of thinking and writing. I just wanted to relax. But the trouble is, too much relaxing also makes you lazy to do anything else. I think I spent too much time during the break watching movies, from internet to movies on tele and cinemas. I will write something about this later. Just to update, I am halfway on my masters course which hopefully will finish this coming September. I remember complaining there was no time to relax during the last 2 term breaks as we have to finish group assignments that took up most of the holidays. Now that I have time to relax, I became bored very quickly. The most I can relax is a for a couple of days! Even then I didn't know what to do. I know I...

Stress

Resentment, anger, frustration, worry, disappointment - negative emotional stress, justified or not, take a toll on your heart, brain and body. Don't let justified emotion rob your health and well being. Don Childre & Howard Martin I have been feeling the stress of my work place recently. Never have I felt before throughout my working years. I have always been able to separate work from my personal life till I have to work with an emotional boss! After spilling my guts out to family and close friends, I realised that they are facing the same thing. Ironically, its never the tasks that have been assigned to you, but behaviour of the boss is sometimes unbearable. The fact that they are the boss, thinking they have the right to behave the way they did. I wish that if I ever get to that level, I would not behave the same way. I certainly wouldn't want to be cursed by staff, God forbid! But I guess at the moment, I'm grateful that I have family and close friends that I can...

A Step at a Time

A step at a time is about my own self reflection of my life's journey, the things that I encountered in my everyday life, the journey that I have experienced as previously matured student in Scotland for a couple of years, life as an expat in Bahrain that I lived for 13 years, places that I traveled to, food, health, friends, people that I met and most importantly the lessons that I learned along the way.  We live in a world that are fast-paced and demanding, so taking one step at a time can help me re-think how I can approach challenges and navigate through life. It's a continuous journey. Each step, no matter how small and embracing the learning process means understanding and learning from mistakes will open new doors, new experience and shape our life. Challenges are inevitable and taking one step at a time involves confronting difficulties head on and developing resilient mindset, so that we become stronger.
