  • Life Is Short: Start Living Life Before It’s Too Late

    I often ask myself, when do people truly start living? My answer is, “When we face death.” If I had asked myself these questions last week, how would I have lived? What would I have done? Who would I have called or spent time with? What would I have shared from my heart? How would […]

  • My Practical Tools for Overcoming Procrastination #1

    Hello everyone, today I’d like to share my personal tools for tackling procrastination. I’ve noticed that when I feel tired, procrastination tends to become more prominent, so I’ve observed how exhaustion sets in. One of the reasons why I start to procrastinate more was not taking a break before it’s too late, meaning I don’t […]

  • How I Wake My Body Up in the Early Morning

    “I just woke up… but my mind and body wanted to go back to bed.”That used to be me almost every morning.Then I started observing my mum. She wakes up at 4:20 am.As soon as she wakes up, she doesn’t lie there. She prays first, then starts moving straight away, sweeping the garden, unloading the […]

  • How I Reduced Binge Watching

    I’ve been trying to stop binge watching for a long time and I still do it sometimes.So I asked myself, “Why does this keep happening?” When I really looked at it, I realised something important. When I feel emotionally uncomfortable or mentally exhausted, my brain looks for easy comfort.Watching movies helps me switch off. Back when life felt heavy […]

  • My Insights from the Book The Courage to Be Disliked

    Life Is Only Ever “Now” Sometimes I stop and remind myself, Me: “Life isn’t yesterday. Life isn’t tomorrow.”Myself: “Life is happening right now.” Life is just a series of moments, like small dots called now.The past is already gone.The future hasn’t arrived yet.The only place I can live is here. This is one of the biggest lessons […]

  • My intention for today

    My intention today is to focus on the here and now. I can’t change the past. It’s already gone, and it’s not worth wasting my energy thinking about it. The future hasn’t arrived yet, so I don’t want to assume what might happen. Most of the time, what I imagine never happens the way I […]

  • Do you ever feel a bit lost?

    This morning, I did. So I paused and asked myself, “At this stage of my life, what is the most important thing to focus on?” “And what is one small action I can take right now?” That simple check-in helped me feel clearer and got me moving.

  • Still find it hard to say no?

    When I fall back into people pleasing, I use a few simple self-talk that help me say no kindly without abandoning myself. 1. A gentle way to respond Instead of saying yes straight away, I say, “Thank you for asking me, I will think about that.” It’s honest, kind, and it gives me space to choose what feels […]

Waking up early isn’t just about starting the day—it’s […]

  • How I Maintain My Energy Throughout the Day

    One of my favourite tools for staying energised is very simple — balance. For me, balance means eating small portions of food, not over-studying, not over-watching, not over-exercising, and not overthinking. If I have class all day or a three-hour ice hockey training session, I make sure to take enough breaks. Last week, I unintentionally broke this rule. During […]

  • How Waking Up at 5 am Changed My Life

    I’ve been waking up around 5 am since 2019, and being consistent with it has changed so many things for me. When I asked myself, “Why does this actually work?” The answer was simple. “Because you focus on what matters in the morning.” “And you stop wasting energy at night.” Since I want to wake […]

  • You Are More Than What You Think

    I’ve made many mistakes in life, but over time I realised those mistakes actually became my strengths. During difficult moments, moving my body saved me. Exercise helped me heal and loosen the pain.
