Haven't been able to go to sleep easily. Too many thoughts but meditation helps for a while though. Makes me think much of this anxiety attacks that I have. I know I have been suffering alone back then, and withdrew to let anyone into my life. Now future's brighter I hope, as there are many options I can have. There are choices I can make everyday to build a better future and life. I just wish that along the way, I am given a chance to reconcile any unfulfilling relationship with old friends, whom I definitely still hold dear to and look up to as well.<br /><br />I STP-ed today! yay. Can't wait to meet Dayang and the team in two weeks time for BBS.<br /><br />Meantime, checking off my to do list each and everyday.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6595016065013356276-5418335879627393324?l=peyuen.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>peyuenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12097794274003346356noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6595016065013356276.post-64268249163691646682008-03-27T07:32:00.001-07:002008-03-27T07:36:14.594-07:00first time going for <a href="http://www.sahajmalaysia.org/Index.html">sahaja yoga<br /></a>quite interesting, and it's different from breathing meditation I know off.<br />hmm.<br />gonna be doing it twice a day, to see some results.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6595016065013356276-6426824916369164668?l=peyuen.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>peyuenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12097794274003346356noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6595016065013356276.post-72527859352622705172008-03-25T23:49:00.000-07:002008-03-25T23:54:31.926-07:00<a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=4115033&page=1">positive psy </a><br /> <br /><br />What determine happiness?<br />(Professor Dr. Sonja Lyubomirsky)<br />50% - genetic<br />40% - what we think and act (intentional activities) - CHOICE<br />10% - life circumstances<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6595016065013356276-7252785935262270517?l=peyuen.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>peyuenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12097794274003346356noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6595016065013356276.post-83651606827202483822008-03-25T03:13:00.000-07:002008-03-25T03:16:14.462-07:00moving on...striving on...<br /><br />taking the future rewards as a motivation, as much as the desire to get out of my unfulfilling past life...<br /><br />I bought cat food! but where is the cat?...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6595016065013356276-8365160682720248382?l=peyuen.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>peyuenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12097794274003346356noreply@blogger.com0
