Took me a while to start writing on this platform as I did not know where to begin or what to write about. However, I found this urge to start today as I realise the only way to curb my anxieties of having to create a 'perfect' post is to be at peace with being myself. Perhaps this is because today is Wesak day here in Malaysia and it feels like a time for reflection.
So, I thought I would start off this blog with talking about what I would like to create here. It may morph and change - something have come to accept as I near my 30's, but these are some ideas I thought would help give some 'identity' to this blog.
As I showered, and had my usual 'shower thoughts', I thought about the two words that describe me as a person -
~Creating Peace~
These two words were generated from a workshop I attended and recommended by a fellow steemit blogger @karinzdailygrind, called Authentic Lives. Really amazing workshop that @bensimblog also attended and wrote about.
Creating Peace means to create peace within myself, with others, and ultimately with the universe.
Now, I do not mean that I have a need to live a legacy but live a life of acceptance of what life and the universe has to offer. Put simply, I want to be okay with being me and okay with the uncertainties of life. So, I want to use this platform to just share my authentic thoughts and reflections and see where it goes.
Some areas that currently are a big part of my life that I may touch on:-
BECOMING A PROFESSIONAL COUNSELLOR
- I am a trained professional tax consultant in the midst of shifting my career to become a counsellor and this 180 degree shift has really spurred my personal growth
LIFE WITH MY HUSBAND
- we get a little silly sometimes and have, what I think are, interesting conversations
SWIMMING
- sometimes I think of life lessons I learn whilst swimming
MY CATS
- they make me reflect on human behaviour and I find teaching moments in their behaviour
LEARNING DRUMS
- I always wanted to take on drums as a teenager but was discouraged. There are fun moments as my husband and I try to learn this new instrument together
HEALTH & FITNESS
- My husband and I are always wanting to have more energy and focus a lot on how we can be healthier in a balanced way. Along the way, we have hiccups and successes that I feel I could share here too.
And, this concludes my first blog on this platform. I look forward to writing another one soon here. Thanks for reading, if you have spent some time here. See ya when I see ya.
Peacefully,
Sue
