CNY Resolutions

New Year resolutions. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I’m a little late but hey, it was just Chinese New Year’s so it’s okay if I’m making them now.  I heard from a motivational speaker that it’s always better to write down your goals because then, you’d be more likely to accomplish them.  So here they are, short and simple:

1. No potty words. (I’m not that bad but it would slip out once in a while and since I work with kids, I want to eliminate them from my vocabulary COMPLETELY.) 
2. Live a more balanced life with more rest and reflection.
3. Be more conscious. This goes with everything – from my personal development to what I’m currently doing at the moment. Awareness is the key.

I have to admit, the first one was a little tough at first but it’s getting better.

Fudge nuts. Ai-yo!?!? Nerds!

A new (lunar) year. A new blog page. So I thought, why not?

Since I was writing about stuff other than my travelling escapades, I decided I needed a new blog to encompass all the subjects I delved upon. 

And of course, thanks to my friend, Alex, who introduced me to this cool blogging website! :D

After weeks of ex-communication, due to work overload and a series of illnesses, I realized I did a lot of reflection and came up with really good stuff.  I became more aware of the potential within me and I’m getting restless.  I think I am ready to mould it into action.  In terms of sharing online with everyone, I hope China will not slow me down with its firewalls.

I give my greatest appreciation to my mentors, my friends and a few spiritual leaders who have kick-started my personal development.  I am confident to admit that I am changing – and for the better.  When I say ‘confident’, I mean that I was previously distraught with myself but now, I have embraced the new me.  I have become more aware and more in sync with my mind. 

Although things are changing, I will never forget my former blog, which you can still check out at http://jaclynlivestolearn.blogspot.com/. I will always cherish it but change must be accepted and one must learn to move on.
