Here comes weekdays = working days... had a very good sleep on Saturday night but had a bad one on Sunday night ish ish ish... >.< I need to find a way to let myself sleep better consistently!

Maybe i was too tense all this while for all the things happened recently... was reading the latest issue of Cleo and came across this very 'rejuvenating' column - Bootcamp for the soul. Definitely a very useful guide for me and maybe for people who are having a stressful life. I gonna start practicing and work it out for my days of carefree life! ^^

a few good tips (which i can totally relate :p) mentioned in the column...

1. Self acceptance
Having personal and professional goal is encouraged, but perfection is not reality. Ask youself "Is this important to me?" "Does it make me happy?" "Is it taking me a step closer to my big goal?"

2. Work / life balance
Do something you enjoy everyday, like listening to music, ringing a friend or reading a magazine. It's about quality not quantity. Be it just for 15 minutes, get a time for yourself.

3. Learn from your mistakes
There's no failure, only feedback. Pick out things to learn from even if it's a really negative situation. Personal growth stems from painful experiences!

4. Find the good in the bad
It's about making a negative situation positive! E.g If your boss or colleagues is in a bad mood one day, you may thing he/she doesn't like you or that you've done somehthing wrong, when in fact they may have just received some bad news. So before taking it personally, ask yourself whether there could be another explanation for their behaviour - often there will be.
