Speak Dream

After more than 3 months of not putting up any new posts, I’m back!

Been having a hard time coping with work-related stress and trying to strive for a balanced life. It’s affected my health and ability to be happy and enjoy life. It’s a real challenge to stay focused on the positive and to learn to handle things better. I am still a work in progress, after all

I will be sharing more in upcoming posts, as I am making it one of my goals to update this site regularly (at least 2x a week)!

Although I don’t focus on the negative aspects of other people, but sometimes I do notice the negative behaviors. I try to check them against my own life, and trying to improve my own attitude and behavior.

I found out that when we live our lives with higher self-esteem, we can automatically avoid a lot of the following negative behaviors.

Inability to trust
Compares self to others
Gossiping
Inability to take criticism
Scarcity mentality
Defensiveness
Avoidance of rejection
Avoidance of potential failure
Resentment of others
Tendency to tear others down
Aggressive behavior
Procrastination
Concern with who is right
Inability to accept compliments
Unwillingness to take risks
Quick to the offense

Hope everyone can live a more positive life.

Last night I had a disturbing dream. I dreamt that I was visiting an old friend at a hospital. This friend was diagnosed with some rare terminal illness, and he had 1-2 days left to live…

Over the years I’ve made it a habit to jot down my dreams in a journal. When I look back on its pages and try to re-read my old entries I’m struck by how strange they are. Most of my dreams involve complex story lines. Some are scary. Others are downright strange and surreal. Read the rest of this entry »

I  had some free time in the past couple of weeks, and decided to spend most of it de-cluttering my closets and reorganizing my personal space. I hadn’t realized how much junk I had accumulated over the years. I was brought up to never throw anything away that could still be used, and I found myself staring at empty plastic containers, boxes, and stacks of photocopies dating back to the 1990’s.
