I wanted so desperately for my kids to be safe and happy, that I oftentimes didn’t allow them to fall and pick themselves back up

Expectations- we all have dreams for our kids but those dreams should never interfere with what our kids actually want. Encouragement is necessary and beneficial but expectation is toxic and dangerous. We should not be “living through” our kids, we should be sharing the experiences and life they choose. Expecting our kids to have a particular education, a certain job, earn a certain amount of money, be a particular sexual orientation or live a life you deem worthy is not unconditional love. Being embarrassed or ashamed of our kids if they are struggling in life, is more a reflection on our own lack than it is on our kids. I want to know my kids struggles so I can support them and we can work together for the healthiest outcome. My kids know there is nothing they cannot tell me, I will never judge them. If you can’t accept that your child will be their own person, suffer struggles and make mistakes or choose a lifestyle that makes them happy, rather then fitting into your mould- perhaps parenthood is not for you.

I want to work on creating a boundary where I can still get the work I need to do done, but also live my life outside of school

Keywords: {0}

I also want to work on slowing down and truly living, meaning less phone screen time, taking my time with meals, and going to new places, trying new things. Another big goal of mine is, while still trying to maintain this slowing down, to continue content creation. It has fulfilled the artistic and extroverted side of me and brings me more joy than I thought it would originally. So, feel free to continue following along on my journey!

I am pretty stoked with what I came up with and proud

I realize I wasn’t giving myself much credit at the little things I have started to implement over the years. I will be honest, I still struggle a lot with this list, especially at work, but having it down on paper (or computer), tells my mind and body that I am doing pretty well for myself. I am not as lost as I think I might be and with this start, I am only going to grow and feel more confident in my decisions and my skin and that is my ultimate goal.

I want my client to have the best experience with me, but I know that their negative remarks are not down to the quality of work I provided them with

Keywords: freelancing , health

I will always try to accommodate and act upon critique, if possible, but sometimes, believe me, it just isn’t. There are always going to be those clients who are difficult for the sake of being difficult, although, thankfully, they’re pretty rare. I’ve worked with perhaps 350 different clients, and maybe 10 of these I’d class as ‘difficult’. Funnily enough, you get more difficult clients when you first start out and when your prices are low, take from that what you will. As with anything, the more you do it, the more your confidence grows. As you gain feedback from your clients and see the impact your work has had on them and their business, you will see your worth first hand.

Knowing your value and respecting your boundaries is knowing to say no to the things that will not add value to your life and not respecting your boundaries

So I’m glad in a way that while it’s quite a hard decision to make because I feel I’m letting go of another opportunity that could have been, it’s also a lesson and a reminder that while there are opportunities everywhere, not every opportunity is right for me.

Most of my celebrations for meeting my goals would revolve around this project, this dream, this little fantasy I had of hosting a podcast

This means I have to learn how to ask. Ask people to share. Ask people to subscribe. Ask people to rate and leave reviews. This, for introverted me, is the stuff of nightmares, even if it is only a virtual ask, with the internet as a buffer between me and my perceived judgment from others. But, just like learning to set boundaries, which was something I learned to do in 2021, this will be critical to growth in 2022.

What if this LIFE is our aquarium?

yeah so, it’s a fact – sometimes i think, maybe it’s hong kong life, but maybe it’s THE life. just like those crabs inside the aquarium. is this life my aquarium? some of you guys probably know the feeling of being trapped, no matter how “comfortable” the current environment is. no matter how convinced you are that this is where you belong.

Setting boundaries for yourself and in relationships really does offer us the space to accept our lives as free from worry and chaos

There are nine practices I want to keep track of for this first half of the month and I’ve split this up into 3 categories: self, connection and health.
