Assalamualaikum
Guess what? I reached my 100th post! Alhamdulillah.
Who knew I’d manage to stay disciplined?
Throughout the year, it always warmed my
heart when people tell me they've tried the recipes that I posted. Some are
altered some are copied directly. Heartwarming indeed.
We’re almost a month in 2013 and I should say life is going
well so far Alhamdulillah. This year, along with my list of resolutions, I decided
that this year would be a “Challenge
Myself” year for me. Here are the things that I have challenged myself with
I have always been insecure or scared of so many things. One
of the things that I wasn't sure that I wanted to do again, ever, was skiing. I’m
scared of heights and speed. I was sooo scared last year when I went skiing for
the first time. Even the second time I went earlier this year. You should have
seen my friends coaxing me trying to make me ski down the slope. But I did it.
The next day (it was a weekend ski trip), I tried other green circle (beginners)
slopes and moved on to the blue square (intermediate) slopes. Once I let go of my
fear, it was AMAZING. I felt revitalized, free and light as air. It felt great!
So the next ski trip which would be in March, I’m challenging myself to go down
the Black Diamond (advanced). Wish me luck!:)
The second challenge is Kick Boxing. I am such a lazy person
when it comes to exercising. I thought paying for the gym membership would
eventually make me go to the gym but NOOOOO. I’m still a lazy bum. But this
year, my friend and I decided to take up kick boxing. Which IS GREAT! Not only
I get to learn funky self defense moves but it’s also a great workout. Not to
mention a hot instructor teaching us twice a week. Hah*drool*!(Hi mom!).
I have a major issue with speaking in public. Which is
weird. I mean, even when I need to introduce myself. I know my name, I know
myself better than anyone else, what’s up with that right? I tried the exercise
that Amy Cuddy taught in her TedTalk and to be honest, I wasn’t sure if it’s
really working on me. My friend said it worked for her. I’ll try again some
other time. Anyways, I decided to recite a poem that I wrote a while ago (read
it here) and again, it feels good. Not only that I get to express myself, but I
get to do something that I’m scared of.
Alhamdulillah for the
strength, the opportunity and the courage. *pat on the back*
What’s next?
Wasalam
Till then,
Love,
Sofhan Hasni
