Adjusting to 40s
I am turning 40 in a few months! And, just the sound of saying 40 blows my mind. Both of my parents are now in their 70’s, and my older siblings are also approaching their mid-40’s. I guess I should say all of us finally have grown up! Looking back at my 30’s, I love every moment of it. I’ve given it 110%, and truly have lived my 30’s for myself, not for others. I’ve experienced love, happiness, joy, heartbreaks, loss, grief, anger, anxiety … You name it. I’ve experienced them all! Since earlier this year, I began to observe that my wellbeing has begun to change – body, mind,…

Moving Forward toward Goals
The past 6 weeks went by so fast, and I felt these time have been so fruitful, yet intense. Since September, I had 4 speaking engagements, co-hosted 1 Facebook Live, conducted 1 workshop, attended the largest technology conference, and plus, all of projects I have at work. Phew, high-five to myself! Because we are human and we have the need to feel that we are moving forward in our lives, having bite-size milestones for each of our goals can help us see progress that are sometimes hard to spot. I often advice my coaching clients to set up tangible and measurable goals at the beginning of the year (or if you…

Minimalist Packing Guide for Leisure Travel
My husband and I recently took a trip to Azerbaijan for a 5-day holiday. This trip, I wanted to test myself to pack like a minimalist for leisure travel, which means that I could only carry a backpack and a handbag. No check-in at the airport counter and no stress over space of overhead bins. I recently shared my minimalist guide for 5-day business travel packing. For some reason, I observe that I haven’t applied similar minimalist mindset to my leisure travels. Hence, I often end up carrying 20% of stuff that I’ve never used or worn during a trip. I talked about packing minimalist-ly for business travel, and that means…

Wearable Tech and Wellbeing
Even though I work in the technology field, I am actually a Gen-2 adopter. I got my first wearable tech 9 months ago, nearly 6 years after wearable devices first became mainstream for personal computing and fitness tracking in 2010s. I got Fitbit Charge 2 for wellness purpose, as I wanted data to analyze my wellbeing, such as daily steps, hours of sound sleep, calories burned from yoga practice and walks, and notifications when stress occurred. However, after one month of consistently wearing Fitbit Charge 2 , I took it off and rarely wore it. I found myself so obsessed with collecting my fitness and bio data, to a point that I felt my wearable was…
