Breathe In. Breathe Out.
Am not denying the fact that often times I do have emotional and mood outbursts (yes, my hubby can also attest to that).
Name it: mood swings, irritable feeling, that moment when you feel like punching someone on the face.
There are lots of things that trigger these feelings: negativity, complaints, annoying people, things that you don’t have control of.
And then I realize. That’s it.
There are things that I don’t have and won’t have control off so I told myself, “Hey, don’t waste your time on being annoyed but instead think of things that you can do enjoy”.
So am bouncing back and avoiding all the negativity.
Once I can sense them closing in, well, am breathing in, breathing out.
Repeat 10 times.

Choose Less. Choose Wisely. Live Life Simply.
The long Eid Holidays may have prompted me to do a lot of rethinking and decluttering.
I am currently doing Project 333, The Minimalist Game and The Shopping Ban.
Don’t worry am still here, surviving.
Since we have done a lot of cleaning up and have thrown a lot of trash, I realized that we had accumulated a lot of stuffs over the years and most of them were thrown away because we don’t need them.
Come to think of it, we have a lot of things that are just there, collecting dusts, taking my much needed space.
From then on, I promised myself, I won’t be adding any more stuff that I know will bid goodbye later.
I already forgot from where I had read this: “Choose Less. Choose Wisely”.
And it really makes sense – and applies not only to material, physical things.
I’ve almost cleared my closet.
I’ve cleared most of my emails.
I’ve unfriended a lot in Facebook.
I’ve unsubscribed to other email alerts mostly from shopping websites (sigh).
I’ve thrown a lot of papers, newspapers (am still thinking about my books and magazines).
I’ll have my Social Media Days Off.
What else? Hmmm. That’s all for now.
Well, am giving myself a pat on the back and a big hug for a great start!
