Day 6/365 – On doers vs. thinkers
Day 61/6/2017 Well done is better than well said, a wise man once said. No pun intended, ha. I don’t even know if that counted as a pun. Regardless, I think this is such an important concept, and there’s no way around it but to discuss it first; then go out and act on it […]
Day 5/365 – On time management
Day 51/5/2017 Hmm, as I started to type today’s date, I first wrote the year of my birth, and then 1017. Typos all around, heh. Or perhaps it’s telling of today’s theme: time. We only have one life to live (for all we know anyway), and even if we didn’t, we should still make every […]
Day 4/365 – On achieving big goals
Day 41/4/17 It just occurred to me that one could look at a fourth consecutive day of this blog and say, ‘wow, already the fourth day!’ But, more than likely, most people would be of the second camp, thinking, ‘oh, only four days, that’s nothing, such a long way to go to 365!’ Well I […]
Day 3/365 – On having fun
Day 31/3/17 Today, I will focus on the most common missing ingredient from our lives: FUN. As we commence in our deeper, more reflective, more grounded and mission-oriented agenda for 2017, we must remember to incorporate fun. Stemming off from my rant in the last post, we work way too much and put too much […]
Day 2/365 – On reflecting
Day 21/2/17 So weird to write the year 2017 down, it will take some time to get used to that! Today I want to share with you my reflection about taking things slow. I’ve just started the 365 challenge, but already so many ideas and topics are flooding my brain. So for now, I will […]
Day 1/365 – On starting a project
Day 11/1/2017 It has taken me a while to finally get here. Sounds general (anyone could say this about anything!) and cryptic (get where?), I know, but I’m talking about finally committing to a 365-day project. I tried it once before a couple years back, and even got a small following on my wordpress site […]
Are you Eating to Satisfy an Emotional Hunger?
For a couple of years now, I have been mulling over the concept of ‘eating to fill a void.’ It seems to me that mindful eating is absent even from the best of us. Our modern lives inhibit us from consciously slowing down and being grateful for each meal that we ingest. I often feel […]
Coconut Oil Uses for Pets
The numerous benefits of coconut oil cannot be overemphasized, and the hype around it has spurred interest into this kitchen basic causing a lot of research by scientists from various disciplines. Health benefits of this oil are best obtained when it’s in its virgin state. This oil is applied topically on the skin and hair […]
Natural Alternatives for Cleaning Products
Harsh chemicals used ubiquitously today pose a lot of problems for our environmental and personal health. A lot of cleaning products on the market contain bleach, preservatives such as parabens, antibacterials such as triclosan, and synthetic fragrances and colorants. These can be toxic for our health, disrupting hormones and in some cases acting as carcinogens. […]
Diet First, Part 2: Food
Continuing my diet series, we come to the most important part of it: the food itself. Paleo, gluten-free, low-fat, low-carb, Atkins, vegetarian, vegan, GAPS, traditional, raw, intermittent fasting…with so many varying dietary theories, it is easy to get confused and overwhelmed. Which of these methods will work for you? Each of the above diets has their […]
