One tip I always recommend that I learned from one of the courses I attended is to implement a hard start and a hard stop. Here’s how to do it:1. Decide what time of the day you will start a certain activity(for example, work)2. Decide what time of the day you will end a certain activity3. Do your best to stick to them. Nowadays, since most of us have the luxury of "time" given the…
Lately, I am feeling grateful to be living in an age where technology makes our lives easier. Although it is also a double-edged sword, in my opinion it is more useful to me than a distraction. A tool is only a tool until you use it, however you use it is up to you. What things are you grateful for because of technology?
Do you remember the time you got your passport request, have it stamped with your permanent resident visa and finally landed and became a permanent resident? How long has it been for you? We did ours in 2016 and over the years I can say that we have been successful in becoming immigrants of Canada and we are just getting started. Our success is primarily because of hard work, faith and relationships and these are…
I just attended an amazing conference last week in Charlotte and one of the key takeaways I brought home with me is to be comfortable being uncomfortable. When we were born, most, if not all of us, were uncomfortable living outside our mother’s womb. That’s the reason why babies cry but over a few hours, days, weeks and years we get comfortable. It’s hard to be born, that’s what I remember the nurse told my…
I used to judge a lot and usually it is not just limited to people but to different situations as well. I am not saying I am not judgmental anymore, but I’m always working to lessen it. It’s actually hard not to judge you know. Just this morning, I was annoyed when I saw a lady holding a container of coffee or beverage in her hand while walking down the bus’ aisle when obviously it…
Always think positive, that’s what they usually say or advise to people who are dealing with something. But recently, I have been pondering whether it is really beneficial to always be positive. So my university’s men’s basketball team is competing for the championship for the first time in 32 years! The last time they were in the finals, I was about 5 months old. Imagine how the whole school, current students and alumni celebrated…
What is freedom for you? Is it not being in jail? Is it being financially free? Is it having no problems? I was talking to my coach and we discussed what freedom is like. Not actually the goal of the session but it went there. That’s the beauty of talking to someone that won’t really jump in your box, that’s the beauty of coaching. We’ve been talking about how my coaching practice is…
I am down with a really bad cold, and usually, when I have this type of cold, I’ll have an asthmatic attack after a couple of days. Pretty sure I got this from my commute to work, well it’s flu and cold season now here in Canada so most commuters can’t help but get sick. Speaking of getting sick, have you ever worked so hard that you got sick? I know I have, not necessarily…
Have you ever want something so bad but when you get it, you realized that what you already had is what you really want? If you have been following me, I shared that my contract was not renewed and that led to me being out of the workforce for 52 days, the longest break in my career. I realized, if only we don’t need the money from my job, I would love to be…
It’s Halloween today. So I guess, it is kind of timely to talk about the things that we are afraid of. When I was a kid (actually up to now), I have always been afraid of ghosts. I might have seen one or two, but who knows, it might just be my imagination. I didn’t know where this fear came from. What’s weird though is I kept on watching scary films and documentaries even though…
