Escapism Creates Mindfullness
I just learnt a new word today. I made it a the title of this blog. I simply cant believe how random I can be in planning something. I was watching a video - Gary V with Seth Godin and suddenly felt strongly to write again.
I felt that i have been missing a lot of opportunities in developing myself especially my mind. I have been on a roller coaster for the past 4-5 years. Doesn't seems to go anywhere. Didn't know whether I'm up or down.
This is the reason why i need to start writing again. I need to be more self-aware. I need to know what I am thinking and whether I am in the right mindset or I have not been thinking straight. Many times I am hesitant but I didn't really try to understand the cause and try to fix it. So when I write, I record down whatever I can remember happening around me or in me (my mind).
I need to learnt to be more self aware because often time I realize that I am mindlessly doing my work and going through the day. So I want to make it a point to write a journal in order to practice mindfulness.
Secondly, I just learnt from Seth Godin that saying NO can be very very important. Therefore I need to learn to say no confidently without any hesitation. This will come from a clear conscience and knowing what I want. Knowing what you want can be another topic on its own so I guess I stop there.
Other profound things that I got from this video is that Social Media was designed to extract nervous energy and steal your time for productive output. Seth Godin say it best here.

Lastly, before I endup this braindump post, I want to list all the things that I am grateful today and I want to commit from today to wrute even 1 reason why I am grateful.
1. I have a roof over my head
2. I have wife and children that love me
3. I have the Internet :)
