THERAPY REFRESHER COURSE 👌🏼

I haven’t realised how long it has been since I’ve posted. Well life update: I’ve been in a stressful slump regretting big decisions I’ve made and second guessing my entire career foundations, so on most days I’ve been feeling like: 🤯

I’ve also been so busy and have had no time for Netflix or leisure or exercise. I decided I could no longer function like a machine and to save myself from the regular doomscrolling, I thought I’d just open up my Libby app. Fr I love this app!!! Went in to queue for More Days at Morisaki Bookshop (see my review for the first book here - I CANT WAIT!!) and I managed to also get this book by Haemin Sunim.

Might be an unpopular opinion but I actually disliked his past books. This was different - I could internalise his words and it felt very much like a therapy refresher for me! Also very apt for my current struggles 🥹 He broke the book up into several chapters - pain, loneliness, gratitude etc. I think it was kind of timely for me. I noticed myself feeling much more gratitude the next day for the little things around me and the world instantly felt brighter, for e.g. the brightness and smooth gliding wheels of the new MRTs, how frequent our peak hour MRT trains are (1 every 40s-1.5min; I counted while waiting for my carouseller), that hawker bothered to talk to me to introduce his menu ✨

May this be our reminder that there’s always light to be let in ✌🏼
