When I was just starting out my coaching journey, I have no idea what intuition is although I might have been using it all my life. Intuition, some people call it gut feeling, some call it instinct but whatever it is for you, at one point in your life, I’m quite sure you’ve used it too. Fast forward to today, I am using my intuition as much as possible especially if I am not sure…
When in doubt, have faith. When you are sad, have faith. When everything is going wrong, have faith. Luke 1:37 — Faith, it does not make things easy, it makes them possible. Have a blessed Wednesday. Be happy!
How many times have we judged our situation negatively only to find out we judged too soon and we judged wrongly? Last Friday, I wrote about how sad I am but it turned out there was nothing to be sad about. I took an exam for the course I am taking and I was not confident about the results, to make matters worst, I have to wait 3 business days before I get the result.…
When I was young, my mom will always remind us to say thank you to anyone who did good things to us. Fast forward 30 plus years, that’s what I am teaching my kids now too. It’s applicable anywhere and to anyone in whatever situation. Say thank you whenever you can. It doesn’t cost a thing. Be happy.
I am looking for something to write about happiness but I can’t think of any so I’ll just share one thing that makes me happy every day. Fold your blanket in the morning! I know it’s not that much but for me, it’s my first accomplishment of the day and if I can accomplish something so trivial, I can accomplish a lot more in the day. How to be a little bit happier? Find something…
This is so true for me. I’m so glad I am able to do what I want to do 80% of the time. The remaining 20% accounts to time I am not able to take make. It’s hard to take control of our time and even for me, it is a constant thing I always have to be conscious about. One quick tip to check if you are spending time correctly is to ask yourself,…
I am sad today, and it’s really hard to be happy. Although I am joyful, sadness seems to keep me down. I might write more on this in a few days but for now, I’ll sit on my sadness and see what I can learn from it. But to answer the question, yes we can through joy. Joy is not the absence of sadness nor the abundance of happiness. Joy is being ok, even if…
Last night, my daughter and I were bonding, when out of the blue, I did a cool dance move. I’m not a dancer, so definitely cool for me is not that cool for others. 😁 Anyway, my daughter said, “Tatay (Dad in Filipino), what if the neighbors see you?” I told her, it doesn’t matter if they see me and I pulled out lesson number one from my book of wisdom and shared it with…
There will always be difficult situations in our lives. Unfortunate events, sickness, death are all inevitable but if you have someone or something you can put your faith in, it gets a little better. I have my faith and my family to turn to and over the years, both have been my pillar of strength. With a very diverse culture and beliefs, each of us will have different upbringings, truths, and filters but one thing…
I have a monkey mind. I am easily bored, distracted and prone to entertaining different emotions even if there’s no merit to entertain them. In the past, I would cure this boredom either by doing something productive or doing something really useless. I have come a long way and although I have tamed my monkey mind a little, it is an on-going slow process that I undertake every day. Here’s what I am doing: Limit…
