Day 94

I am finally reading my books again, it's been too long of a hiatus. Nearly one month actually. I'm starting on a new life-improvement genre called Life is a verb by Patti Digh. It's a pretty good and meaningful book that teaches us how to be mindful and live intentionally. 

Talking about how her step-father died 37 days after being diagnosed with cancer made her examine her own life. She realised that to live your best life does not mean that you have to ditch your job and go sailing around the world, but it mean to live each day with more intention and purpose.

This book talks about the six core practices for living without regrets and they are...

  1. Say Yes. How to live a "yes, and" rather than "yes, but" kind of life
  2. Be Generous. How to give and receive something more valuable than money or things
  3. Speak Up. How to stand tall and yet give up your attachment to being right
  4. Love More. How loving yourself and others more help to make a difference in your life
  5. Trust Yourself. How can you choose who you spend your time with
  6. Slow Down. How can you pay attention and stand still in a world that is moving so fast
It also proposed a question to all its reader: What would you be doing today if you only had 37 days to live?

Don't think you'll like reading a book like this. LOL. Anyway I'm glad that I'm feeling better now. Been sleeping the whole day, just like a pig. Hahahas.

I miss you honey!
