Happy 2023!! I just had 2 amazing days of coaching intensive this past weekend, learning how to change habits! (With Simone Seol and Melissa Tiers) Through applying this knowledge to myself, I saw a few changes in the way I think and feel! And one of them is mind blowing! So I really want to […]
What goal would be weird, delightful, awesome for you?
A while back, my coach Simone Seol shared her view on setting goals. She said, What if your goal can be “weird, delightful, awesome”? What goal would you set for yourself? As I was thinking about it, I realized how much I was influenced by the patriarchal society. We are raised to set goals […]
What if there is actually someone who is jealous of you? When I was first asked this question, I was like, no way! Why would anyone be jealous of me? But what if, there is actually someone out there (past, present, or even in the future) who is jealous of you, and want what you […]
With the holidays fast approaching, that means gatherings will be happening soon. This may be a stressful time for you, because this is when a lot of inappropriate comments, unwanted questions and unsolicited advices will be made. These may include:When are you getting married? You should be having more kids. Have you found a job yet? Did you […]
Dec is just around the corner, and this year, it seems like the holidays is upon us faster than ever! One of the things that I come across A LOT when chatting with other people is, “holiday obligations”. Needing to be a certain way. Must do certain things. Because “I have to”. Here’s what usually […]
I had the opportunity of hosting a workshop for Mothers to Daughters, and had a chance to share my knowledge about fear with others. Most of the times, I find that if there is something we really want to do but if we haven’t done it yet, it’s most likely because of fear. But we […]
Have you ever said you’d do something but you didn’t, and you beat yourself up?
And have you ever felt so tired, but you still muscled your way through to keep pushing on? I got sick for the past few days, and I didn’t get a chance to compose my blog for 2 days. I promised myself that I’d write 1 blog post every day in the month of November. […]
Obstacles in Your Life are not there to Define You! They're meant for you to Overcome!
I rewatched a talk by Simon Sinek. He was talking about how he and his friend just finished a marathon, and at the end of the race, there were free bagels. Simon said free bagels, and his friend said, the line’s too long. He learned that there are people who see the good thing at […]
As humans, we have a powerful pre-frontal cortex that help us create meaning, to remember the past, to plan for the future, etc. We also have a primitive brain, which is the part of the brain that keep us safe, avoid pain, seek pleasure, and be as efficient as possible. This is our subconscious mind. […]
Expectations we place onto others = expectations we place onto ourselves
Recently, I saw a video of this Chinese girl who was trying to logically state her case against her dad’s request for doing more homework. First of all, I had to applaud her, because I can’t even speak this eloquently against my parents. And I’m sure many kids and adults who’d endured through this “pressure” […]
Believing in Yourself When You have Imposter Syndrome
I had a coaching session yesterday. I was preparing to meet a friend who said she could introduce me to someone for an opportunity to go on TV. I had serious doubt about myself, so I talked to my coach about it. She and I worked through some of the thoughts in my mind, and […]
My favourite band while growing up is the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I really wanted to blend into the western culture when I came to Canada, so I started watching Much Music to learn more about what’s popular in the music scene. Under the Bridge was the first music video I watched and fell in […]
