I have thought about months to start a blog. Then, I kept thinking what should I write here. Should I write about my daily life or travelling or PhD struggles or workout journey or make it a cooking diary? Or, may be a site for reviewing books, movies and random products (e.g. make up or skincare) I buy? Or may be everything that defines me.
Definition of a person is not constant. I will be thirty-two years old next year. And, I think the definition of me changes every year, every month or every day. I think writing this blog today is a definition that I am creating for myself. Perhaps, then let it be.
This is ‘just a blog’ because I am exploring what I want to write in this space. And, I have decided. I, Mohona, want to write about my journey here. This journey can be about daily life recording, ranting about work, stories and memoirs or who knows? May be I can write about the new recipes I am trying or new experiences I will have (about a man or a building 😉 I prefer building..haha). Perhaps, some elite review writings on movies, books or products? Well, I guess I would like to manifest all of it here.
As of today, I am concentrating on self-care and focus. Self-care includes simple stuffs that makes me content throughout the day, such as, having clean meals, reaching my goal for PhD studies, stick to my workout routine, perform my daily prayer, watch something good on TV and read something productive or fiction. Focus are within these activities. Sometimes I get distracted whilst work or even in workout. Practicing focus for me is to be in the present. Does it ever happen to you that you are reading, but your mind wanders somewhere else? Thats where focus gets hampered. Therefore, I practice being in the present in order to feel the most of it.
Just like tonight, I am being present within this writing of my blog.
Hello Everyone! 🙂 Attaching an image from my Barbados travel.
Hope to write tomorrow again.
