Hey all! I’m actually recovering from a fever and flu, but I’ll try to do this at a comfortable pace such that I don’t overload myself. At the same time, it is pretty good that I am getting rid of this sickness right before I begin at my new role, so I can enter it in my best condition! Yeah!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyways, this article will be about my roadmap moving forward. Now at the start of this year, I ideated a pentagram which are kind of the pillars for my life! At this point in time, I’ve further refined it, and this will represent my pillars moving forward into the future. Without further ado!! I shall begin elaborating on them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They are: Mind, Creativity, Head, Heart And Body! Okay kinda just thought that up on the start but hehe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s start with Mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mind<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The first pillar that will definitely remain in my life is the side of my that is philosophical and strives towards human flourishing. Right now, I am mainly focused on that by my weekly articles and 6 times a week post on the Facebook page Daimon, Eudaimonia Practitioner… Even going forward into the new role, I intend to persist with these two things!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, I’ve previously ideated on things like coaching or even an online course. However, these things will have to wait until the seeds are ripe so to speak. There’s seriously no rush! Nope, I’ve got two main things for each of the 5 pillars, see, and will truly be sticking with them for the forseeable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Creativity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n And then there is also my artist side. The first of the two main things is definitely the theatre\/acting side. I’ve got a showcase performance coming up in June yay!!! I’m most definitely sticking with that side of myself yo. It’s irreplaceable to me so. Then well, there’s also this singer-songwriter side in truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To be honest, I kinda released a new song a few days ago, but I won’t be posting the lyrics yet until I feel more energised. Sadly, the laptop has terrible sound and I was singing kinda loudly so the ratio of voice to music that I composed probably isn’t very good at all as I see it… still, whatever. I will keep that in mind when recording in the future, and take that as a win!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Head<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, when I said head I was referring more to languages. Basically I’ve set the two main things as Japanese and Korean. For Japanese, I do have these bi-weekly group sessions where we read manga and stuff that I so enjoy… I also am 1\/3 of the way through a Discord N1 vocabulary quiz that I usually do a leisurely 1% at a time when I have the spare time and energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Korean is the other thing. I’m on a 142 day streak or something and have reached level\/score 50 on Duolingo. I ultimately aim to reach 100 and start actively practising a bit more once I hit 60 or intermediate. So it’ll stay a main that I do on the side, a hobby that I enjoy albeit at a slower pace. Other languages? Well, they’ll have to wait! The main spots r taken!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Body<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Body is kinda exercise yo. I mean, so one of the things would be cycling. I joined a cycling group last year and trained my distance for a time. My record was like 17km but recently I’ve been maintaining more like 10 for a healthy lifestyle. Even going forward with the new role, there’s no clash so I totally intend to persist with this weekly. Not in my own time yet though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The other main thing for body would be the apps I use. I’m on a 94-day streak with Bend for the yoga I’ve been doing daily. Dancefitme is something I definitely find both enjoyable and useful. The daily step thing I’m most definitely continuing. Then I’ve actually also been doing an extra!!! Beat Saber Expert+ for the exercise frequently enough…<\/p>\n\n\n\n Heart<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Now this is where the most informative part of the article lies actually, I would think. So for heart, I’ve actually been doing it through mainly volunteering before. But now I’ve taken a break from that. I’ve also uninstalled the app where I try to make good conversations with random people and enjoy myself from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I actually wrote a post about it – this act of trying to make new connections with people this way is actually no different at all from cold calling in sales. It works on the law of large numbers and consumes a large!! amount of energy. Meh! Anyway, SNS or social media is where I can more organically put my energy out there and be magnetic through it. Now, energy-wise…<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’m someone who puts my energy 100% into things see. Now, if I use an app to generate conversations with strangers it can totally be pouring my energy into a sinkhole and wasting all that heartfelt effort put in. But if I actually do SNS instead, now, that energy will still be totally owned by me myself as opposed to sacrificed and given to people who don’t deserve it?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maa, something like that! And those who approach will then be people who actually like and are drawn to my energy! Solving the entire locating problem, if it exists, in one fell swoop!! …Though of course, I must say I’m not! actually looking to be an influencer! I mean, I’m just more open to posting a bit here and there and I’ll let it happen in its own time k!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, the first thing for heart would be SNS. Now, actually other things fell into the scope of my considerations. For one, I actually wanted to cultivate my coaching\/nurturing side. Thus, I was actually slightly interested in the new app called Newcircle that seemed to enable this. Huh, in fact, even a little by the one called Timeleft which is just more for socialising alone??!<\/p>\n\n\n\n But finally, I stumbled across the right answer for me. The missing puzzle piece so to speak would be filling my own cup by consuming. For you see, just look back at the above four pillars. I’d say that at least two is more like actively creating content, whereas the remaining two consist of improving myself and my own skills! But what about the other polarity of creation??<\/p>\n\n\n\n The other polarity of creating content would be none other than actually consuming content. Which, I realised, I actually hadn’t really been doing?! And therefore, my balance was out of whack! Which is why, as I shall now! demonstrate, I have integrated this into my final pentagram pillar of heart. Even as I radiate my energy through SNS maybe, I shall still ENJOY life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, and that’s the final missing ingredient, which is to enjoy life. Let me share about some steps I have taken with regard to this okay! Here goes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A main one, probably, is that I have started watching dramas again. I hadn’t, you know, in forever! But you see, Pursuit of Jade is so popular these days, so I just hopped on this mainstream trend and now I’m past halfway through already! I’ve finished the first 21\/40 episodes yay! I’ve always liked these war CN dramas, like Nirvana in Fire with Hu Ge wow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Meanwhile, I also started watching a movie every week! Last week I watched the Magic Faraway Tree with Andrew Garfield inside. The movie totally has full marks from me. Yesterday I watched Assassination Classroom alone. I really rather enjoyed it too! The wackyxmeaningful is something I love. Now, next week, God of Gamblers with Andy Lau and Chow Yun-fat…<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lolz. Anyway I learnt to enjoy myself in life again yay. Of course, I must say that I don’t actually visit cinemas every week. Netflix works too! I actually watched some pretty cool movies there in recent weeks, including The Greatest Showman, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Pitch Perfect I and II, the Life List… Yup, this newly established habit is here to stay!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, I’ll talk about another discovery I’ve made. Basically, it’s about the games I play? Previously, I got into Valorant the FPS shooting game again and it was true that I could even do super well sometimes. And yet, I really lacked the ambition or desire to climb in it and carry people… Anyways, I ultimately reached the conclusion that the keyword here is variety!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Scenario 1. I wanna do a bit of leisurely activities because I don’t really feel warmed up for the day yet. Unfortunately, Valorant is the only option there is. Halfway sianz already!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Scenario 2. I play the games not for how high I rank in them. I play them just for the experience of playing them, how I feel therein alone. I switch! Variety is the name!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Scenario 1 saw me trapped and unable to try new things. What about 2??<\/p>\n\n\n\n After entering the mindset of 2, I could try new things again. I was not stuck!!! in the zone of only being able to do one thing yet not having ambition or desire to do well in that thing. I’ve revisited Crashland on Quest. I don’t just Beat Saber there anymore like I’ve been for a time… Additionally, I also tried out that Riot fighting game. It was installed on my computer for the longest time but I never tried it! Now? Tried, uninstalled!<\/p>\n\n\n\n At some point in time, I actually totally removed the options of trying new things in the consumption of media to fill my own cup from my playbook. Now, I’ve reclaimed it. I’m gonna be in a romance with life yo. I’m totally! still gonna give to the world in the ways I feel called to, continue writing those posts and songs and whatnot, but I’m so!! totally gonna live to the fullest too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, it is true that my heart feels that it has a lot left to give perhaps? Still, I give it to myself and therein show other people how they can do the same. Other priorities can wait. I’m not gonna pour myself 100% in giving only and see the quality of my own life diminish. Somosomo there is a duality. When some create, some must consume. I’m maintaining the balance of the universe with this!!! Reclaiming the ‘play’ of the inner child, this Dora the Explorer! I don’t trap myself in limited options. I can try out-> enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Really, if you didn’t see the options… maybe you were just limiting yourself from responsibility, having grown too old and ain’t got the energy for that!! No, yo! Allow that novelty into your system please! Don’t! overstress aww…<\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course, I maintain that it’s totally quality over quantity. Like when a singer is on stage, they go 100% immersed into the moment and sing? Thus making for a full best performance? Must stay able to 100% be!<\/p>\n\n\n\n With that, let me end the article because I don’t wanna push myself too hard. Recovery demands self-care! Just wanna say – please, remember, childlike wonder and live in the moment the best you can! Thrive!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Remember, we are creators in our own life and we decide where we give our energy. Don’t give excessively to things that don’t deserve it and also know that what you give is a limited resource! Put the surplus right place!<\/p>\n\n\n\n New role starting! Daimon out!
