Gentle Re((mind))er

How are you feeling?

Sometimes, I get stuck circling around negative thoughts and it's tough to overcome them. This is why I practice mindfulness. By being present and slowing down, I allow clarity to enter and clear my mind. 

Welcome to my gentle reminder journal. Enjoy!

(    (  ( Take a deep breath )  )    )

Breathe in for 4 seconds. Hold for 6 seconds. Exhale for 8 seconds.

4-6-8

Your struggles will turn into strength with time. Accept where you are today. Knowing that your future is in progress.
Curiosity and fear grow in uncertainty. You decided which one to feed.
Happy Lunar New Year! Fun fact: Tigers nap up to 18-20 hours a day to restore energy in between hunts, meals and patrols. Something to think about during your job hunt & career journey. Recharge n' take charge! You got this.
Embrace who you are and where you are! You've got to be your own best cheerleader, not worst critic, especially on a rainy day. We got this!
Today is a great day to breathe in and experience. I hope you embrace today and this moment!
When imposter syndrome creeps up, remind yourself growth is uncomfortable at first! You'll be alright! Better yet you'll stronger after this.
When in doubt, do it. The only way to resolve uncertainty is by doing. Overthinking doesn't give you any answers, taking action does. Go ahead and find out!
Don't prove them wrong. You don't need others' approval to do what's right for you! External validation doesn't last, do things to surprise yourself and past expectations. No one cares for your growth more than you. Prove it to yourself.
