Hi! I am Sabrina. I am a development practitioner, researcher and writer from South Asia. I am starting a challenge '365 Days of Mindfulness' from 2 November 2022 to 2 November 2023 to hold myself accountable about my beliefs and plans. Let's see how it goes!
It's been six months till I last tweeted. I moved to a different country in a new continent and now trying to settle here. It has been a ride for sure!
Day 43 to Day 58: Last two weeks, I was healing my health, resting, dealing with family drama and one terrible fight that has left me empty and hopeless inside. I sometimes feel depressed and demotivated about the move but I know I have to do this. I need to keep moving forward
Day 41 & 42: I have been relatively more stable. I am talking a lot with my family to get my head cleared up. I am taking care of myself. And I dealt with conflicts in a more peaceful way.
Day 33 to Day 40: I quit my job according to my plan for the big move. I am still sick but improved after strong meds. Getting some grip of my mind finally after getting enough time to rest and think properly. Spending more time with my families.
Day 28-32: I have been in extreme pain from multiple types of health problems - two of them being severe. It could even be life threatening. I am hanging in there somehow. I couldn’t go to work. I can barely even walk. My family has been very supportive. I am grateful for that.
Day 25 of mindfulness: I was in a negative headspace but I somehow managed to rest and get some work done and was better behaved with the people around me.
Day 24 of mindfulness: It is not going well. I couldn’t rest or zone out because I had too much pending work regarding the move. And the work stress is piling up. I got work done but got into a terrible fight again with a family member.
Day 22 & 23 of mindfulness: EPIC FAIL. I had an extremely stressful day dealing with a lot of people and my past. And then I had a full on outburst that continued till today, which was a terribly depressing day.
