Quick guide to Meditation

I think one of the most important habit I’ve formed in the past years is Meditation.

Meditation has helped me to become more calm, open-minded,  focused & less stressed. Before I started meditating, I never thought about what was going on inside my head — “you want me to sit for 10min & try not to think? I’m too busy for that.”

 

 

Simple pleasures

Sometimes I am too busy & it can be easy to forget to appreciate the small but wonderful things in my daily life.
I wish there were more hours in a day sometimes. But I should stop to enjoy the happy pleasures of life. I want to become more aware of the little things that will fill my heart with happiness + joy.

 

 

Shyness

I’ve always been a shy person. It’s something that has been a big part of my personality since childhood. Even though I’ve come a long way over these past years & I improved a lot, it’s still something that I deal with sometimes.

Of course, I am not going to become a social butterfly overnight – & I don’t even want to. But I challenge myself & I am learning to gradually step out of my comfort zone everyday.

The comfort zone

I like to make sure my days are as different as possible to keep things fun + interesting. Our minds are so powerful & it can be so easy to forget that they can completely overrule anything else.

Everyone has their little insecurities – I got a lot more self-confident in the past few years. I learned to step out of your comfort zone + be more mindful

Self care & positivity

A happy mind is a happy life.

I know I come with flaws, as every single human, but flaws makes me what I am. I know that life comes with sadness & injustice. But hard situations can be handled. I just need to believe in myself. Loving + trusting myself is so important.

 

A work in progress

Here I am sitting down on a late afternoon, writing after another looong week. 

For the past 3 weeks I have had my exam period. Right now, I’m feeling so calm + happy. Time moves slowly now & that’s possibly due to the fact I have no commitments holding me down.

 .

I have finally escaped the shackles of exams & my summer vacation has officially start! All these weeks of hard work & no sleep have paid off. My final grades were pretty good, I’m so happy it’s over & I’m looking forward to 2 months of sleep + fun.
