I have been finding my child-like, playful wonder, and curiosity vanishing this week. It’s only the start of the week and I am feeling exhausted. I work four days a week. I have Fridays off and pretty much do whatever to my heart’s content on the weekends.
But I am feeling drained. I am feeling tired. I have a pretty good idea what this is about. I am emotionally wiped out. I am feeling confused and nervous.
Play In Your World
When you get stuck in thinking and your fears, you don’t exhibit that playful attitude to life.
But when you start to let go of expectations and place trust in the unknown, you can play in your world with a light-hearted attitude.
You don’t have to be serious and take everything too seriously. You can have fun and find joy in your experiences.
Have a Child-Like Curiousity
So life doesn’t become a race. It’s a fun playground to experiment and explore. You start to have a child-like curiosity and marvel at everything, whether it’s outwardly good or not.
Explore and Have Adventures
Every day becomes an exciting adventure! So let go and fall in love with the present moment.

I couldn’t help, but peek at my 2014 resolutions….
A Peek at My 2014 Resolutions
The year is coming to an end and I’m sitting here in disbelief. I don’t know about you, but I honestly felt like this year flew by with the blink of an eye. It’s been an interesting year, filled with many low and highs. But I’m proud of riding through all these times and emerging wiser and stronger and hopefully keeping my positivity intact. For next year, I wanted to share my resolutions and hope to encourage you to have your own and make a commitment to actually follow through, instead of just the first week of January 😉
1) Stick with My Trainer
I got myself a trainer in late November and have been seeing instant results and am super satisfied with them. I don’t really have insecurities and am pretty comfortable in my skin, but a insecurity of mine is definitely my body. So I decided to get a trainer to help me tone and lose weight. One of the best decisions I ever made because I’m feeling WAY more confident of my body.
2) Spend More Time with My Close Friends
I’m horrible at keeping in touch with my friends. (I can see you nodding your head fervently!) I’m fortunate to have really wonderful friends who make the effort to initiate dates with them. Next year, I would like to call my friends more often and set up the dates for us to hang out, instead of my friends doing it for me all the time. By the way, even if I don’t answer on time or take a long time to get in touch, I love you with all my heart. Just thought I’d throw that out there 🙂
3) Spend More Time with My Parents
As we’re getting older, our lives are becoming busier. I used to live at home and spend more time with my parents, but now living on my own, I get by with phone calls to my parents and going home on weekends. Our parents are getting older along with us getting older, and I’d really like to spend quality time with them more next year.
4) Pamper Myself
Yes, sir, you read that right. I work way too freaking hard most of the time and am busy running around doing errands on weekends. Though I socialize and have great fun with my friends and family, I rarely take time to pamper myself. I’m a sucker for massages and manicures and pedicures. So next year, I’d like to acknowledge my hard work and appreciate myself 🙂
Funny, but most of these resolutions still hold true for even 2015, especially the portion about self-care. I hope to take this up a notch this year. And I did sign up with my trainer again this year and have made it a point to spend more time with my friends and family. Happy 2015!
