What details of your life could you pay more attention to?

Life these days seems to be moving at a lightning pace. Maybe I feel this way because I now have a family of my own to care for, including a child who demands my full attention. Managing both a household and a little one is no easy task, but I’m immensely grateful for my loving husband, who’s always there when I’m feeling overwhelmed, and my daughter. She may have the usual meltdowns of a five-year-old, but she remains remarkably mellow and incredibly sweet. 🥰

When I think of what aspects of my life I need to pay more attention to, the first thing that comes to mind is my health.It’s important for me to become more attuned to my body’s needs and to be conscious of both my physical and mental well-being. Lately, I’ve fallen behind on my exercise routine, and it’s crucial for me to regain my momentum. Additionally, I’ve been less cautious about my food choices, indulging in more sweets and junk food than I typically do. Ah, so disappointed at myself. 🙄

In terms of mental well-being, I’ve found solace in reading and writing. Writing helps clear my mind, especially during emotional challenges, while reading inspirational books or articles aids in managing negative thoughts and significantly improves my outlook. I’m naturally an optimistic person and prefer not to dwell on negativity for too long, as it’s not beneficial for anyone. Although we can’t always control our emotions, we do have the power to counteract negative thoughts, and it ultimately rests in our hands. 😊

Another aspect of my life that got a little sidelined was my passion and hobbies. But honestly, there’s a good reason behind it. Being a new Mom, family life takes the front seat, right? You want to be the best Mom you can be and give all the love and care your child needs. 😊

My own upbringing was a bit different; I was raised by my grandparents, away from my parents. So, this whole journey of becoming a mom, from pregnancy to now, I had to navigate on my own. Sometimes, I wish I had my mom by my side during those times, but I believe everything happens for a reason, in its own perfect time, you know? 💕

So, my passion for writing took a little backseat too. I mean, I think about it all the time, but the focus wasn’t there. And as for my usual travel photography, well, it’s been a while. I’ve become the unofficial photographer for my daughter’s candid moments and portraits, which means I’ve filled up so many memory cards on my phone. I actually use my phone more than my DSLR these days.My laptop’s constantly nagging about being out of storage, and don’t get me started on my external hard drive. It’s packed to the brim. I’ve started using my cloud drive more recently, but I’m a bit paranoid and still want that physical backup. I mean, Amazon’s cloud storage might have backup redundancy, but it’s always good to be extra sure, right? 😉

I’m easing my way back into my creative interests, focusing on writing and graphic design. It’s all part of my plan to rebuild my portfolio and achieve my goals. Design is a vast world with so much to explore, but I’m approaching it one step at a time to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Remember, it’s better to make gradual progress than to rush and risk burning out. 😉

I’ve got a longer list of areas in my life that could use some more attention, but the ones I shared are my absolute top priorities. You know, “health is wealth,” and going after my lifelong dream is what truly gives me purpose and fulfillment, especially in my career. 😊
