12 Questions That Will Change Your Life

Reading redbook magazine on the title heading namesake, I decided to question and interview myself on the 12 questions that they have covered:


1. How do I spend my alone time?


I read books or browse the magazine or surf the net. At times, I watch TV or listen to podcast while cleaning my room or tidying my clothes. Sometimes.. when I am very bored, I go out shopping just for sight seeing.

2011 - I shall scout old book stores, hop on the train and go sight seeing or somewhere I have not been. I could also try scouting or learning new roads and places to eat and how to get there.

2. Do I pay attention to what my body needs?

Yes.

2011 - I shall eat less of spicy food. Drink more of ACV 3 times a day or supplement this with green tea. I shall refrain from eating too much of meat. Instead I will eat more vegetable especially the raw types. Each time, I end up hungry, I am going to drink more water instead of stuffing things into my mouth.

3. To whom am I grateful?

I am grateful to my ex-boyfriend who made me take a chance on live by switching jobs. I am thankful for my restless soul to want to try out something new all the time. I am thankful for all the people who love, had love and will always love and remember me. I am thankful and grateful that people remember and cherish me. I am thankful and grateful for the teachers who inspired me, my neighbour - Mr.Chandran who told me to live each day rather than for all days ahead. He also inspired me to love History, to keep the bathroom clean and to always be broadminded.  

I am grateful for the people who believed in me. Those who knew I could make it. The bosses who thought the world of me and for all the kindness bestowed upon me whether from a known or known person.

I feel I am blessed.
4. Do I compare my life to other people's?

Yes

2011 - I want to be my own person again. I want to bother what is within me and what else I can do to make myself better, smarter and prettier and more worthy of God.

5. Do I spend money on things that speak to my soul?

Yes

2011 - I shall be prudent in my spending. I shall indulge in more me time such as going for pedicures, spas and massages :-)

6. What do I see when I look in the mirror each morning?


I want to stop berating myself.

2011 - I will look into the mirror and see a confident, young and beautiful lady.


7. Have I figured out a way to handle the less-than-perfect relationships in my life?

I want to let bygones be bygones. I do not want to harbour any grudges and anger. I am going to forgive and forget.


8. Do I have faith in something bigger than I am, whether it's God or some other spiritual form?

I believe that God is my shepherd and wherever I go, he is right there beside me.


9. What positive things do I bring to relationships with my husband, my kids, my friends?

That I am always positive and motivated to see the best things in life and live life the fullest. Also that I always smile and is happy all the time.

10. Is there a space in my home to do the things I love (paint, practice yoga, play cards with friends)?

My bedroom is my comfort, my sanctuary.


11. How many hours a week do I spend on my computer, my TV, my BlackBerry?

I resolve to spend more time with my mum and my friends and less time on the Internet or the TV. I shall give them priority before I selfishly plop myself infront of the TV or laptop.

12. Do I feel older or younger than my years? How often do I feel good about being exactly the age I am?

I am learning to embrace life without fear. I am learning to be FREE again. I am learning to live life to the fullest. Never shall I fear, for God is near and with him, I feel safe.
