Since maaga akong nagising ngayon, naisipan kong basahin ang newsletter ni James Clear. Parang binasa yung utak ko kasi sakto yung mga quotes dun sa newsletter!

I am still feeling some anxiety, and I have a collection of quotes (from books, newsletters, and podcasts I consumed) ready for me to read when I have this overwhelming emotion. Here’s one that made me smile and helped me ease up a little bit:
“I’ve found that it’s of some help to think of one’s moods and feelings about the world as being similar to weather.
Here are some obvious things about the weather: It’s real. You can’t change it by wishing it away. If it’s dark and rainy it really is dark and rainy and you can’t alter it. It might be dark and rainy for two weeks in a row.
But. It will be sunny one day.
In the same way that one has to accept the weather, so one has to accept how one feels about life sometimes. “Today’s a crap day,” is a perfectly realistic approach. It’s all about finding a kind of mental umbrella. “Hey-ho, it’s raining inside: it isn’t my fault and there’s nothing I can do about it, but sit it out. But the sun may well come out tomorrow and when it does, I shall take full advantage.”
Stephen Fry

A collection of things I want to be reminded of:

At dito nagtatapos ang aming nature retreat. Habang nagda-drive kami pabalik at patuloy na ina-appreciate ang mga bulubundukin, knowing na matagal-tagal pa uli namin sila makikita, sabi ni Kenneth, “Babalik na tayo sa palayan.” Natawa lang ako pero yung nasa isip ko, “Huhu this is where I belonggg.” Napapatanong ako sa sarili ko, “Bakit ba hindi kami dito nakatira?” Which is alam ko naman yung sagot. Sobrang na-inlove na lang talaga ko sa Alberta.

Waking up before my alarm
Iba talaga yung quality ng umaga ko kapag nagising ako on my own versus nagising ako sa tunog ng alarm. Ang sarap. Pag natural yung pag gising ko, feeling ko ang sarap sarap din ng tulog ko. Tapos yung pagbangon ko hindi sapilitan kaya hindi ako cranky.

Sobrang daming geese kanina! Naririnig ko sila so binuksan ko yung bintana. Feeling Mary Oliver ako kasi napapansin ko, pag madaming geese sa sky at papunta sila sa isang direction, uulan. I’m sure maco-confirm ko ‘to sa Google pero ayoko. Natutuwa lang akong i-observe yung activity nila.
And true enough, after a couple of minutes, umulan nga. Ang sarap ng moment na ‘to. Kanina pa kong 6AM gising, 8AM na ngayon at tulog pa rin ang mga tao, gloomy at umuulan, pagsilip ko sa bintana, ang gandang tingnan nung orange-yellow-brown leaves ng mga puno, pinatugtog ko yung ‘No Lyrics Chill’ playlist ko sa Spotify, at ito, nagsusulat. Hays ang saraaaap.

Eto na ang last day. Pero hindi ko pa ramdam na last day kasi ang layo pa ng iba-byahe namin pauwi. 16 hours.
Also, side note, ilang days (or weeks?) akong na-delay sa pagsulat ng araw na ‘to kasi siguro pakiramdam ko lipas na. Ang dami nang bagong nangyayari sa buhay ko. Almost 1 month ago na ‘to pero kelangan ko ‘tong tapusin for my own peace of mind. Kasi tuwing makikita ko yung 7-day Japan blog series ko at hanggang day 5 lang yung natapos ko, naiirita ako.

Merong bumabagabag sa isip ko at yun ay:
“Tinatamad akong tapusin yung Day 14 ng ginagawa kong travel series..”
Kung kelan patapos na! Yun na yung last day ng trip tapos bigla pa kong tinamad! Wait. Parang nagkaka-motivation na ko ulit. Sisimulan ko na bago pa mawala.
