Top 5 Current Goals
1. Losing 40 pounds
I am currently doing intermittent fasting for this. I have not been in a good shape since late 2019 to early 2020. It got worse during the pandemic and when my mental health starts going down, it is even worse. I have a problem with stress food eating and only about a few weeks ago, I realized I was nowhere in my healthy weight. So, I started the intermittent fasting 4 weeks ago and I have lost 6 pounds of my weight.So, I am looking to lose some more in the following 4 weeks.
2. Be more confident
It aligned with my first weight loss goal. I hope to become more confident by losing weight. I have been there and it definitely gave me a boost of confidence. So I am hoping it would do wonder as it used to.
3. Start building emergency funds
Lately, I read a lot about recession. Though I am already adjusted to simple living, it always best to have some spare cash if need be. I learned these past few years, life is easier if you have spare cash. Need spare glasses, spare phone, new laptop, etc. Emergency fund helps alleviate problems.
4. Read 100 books
I recently decided to reset my book counter. Over the course of my life I have read thousands of book that I only remember tiny bits of information in those books. So, I wanted to start my counter and read book as an adult.I would like to see if my experience is going to be different and that I could think more critically about them instead only seeing it through superficial layers.
5. Getting out of depression
If you have been following me around, this one is pesky little thing I couldn't get rid of since the moment I started my journey here. It was either a conflict with a family, my relationship, my friendship, financial problems. Depression was always amplified by these things and it left a little room for me to heal. But since last year, I got somewhat better. I started getting out of my shell, made new friends here and there, and having decent support system. Not to mention, I learned some of the things to cope with it.
I know I can be at my zen mode but this problem is still there and often paralyzing me from so many things in my life. I tried every possible natural ways there is, I forgave and make amends with my past, and even cutting all the toxic interactions I had. It took me a couple years before I am becoming this jaded. Thorough my journey, I learned there is no magic pill you can take to alleviate the pain and the suicidal thoughts. But I believe time heals everything and my job is to continue living. This time around, I learned how to say fuck it, just as I was when I was a child; fearless.
