10 Things I Learned in Australia

Posted on November 14, 2017December 8, 2017 by RJ Lyn

I have been so busy these past few weeks working on new projects and with new clients. It’s no excuse but the cold weather didn’t help either. Now I’m typing this at 5am because I woke up early and thought that this would be a great time to write as there are little to no…

So guilty of not taking time to pause more often than I should. But truly #grateful for #podcasts on @spotify because now thereโ€™s tons of great content to listen to that helps me relax ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป

I still have a lot of work to do and if Iโ€™m not gonna be careful, I know I would end up overwhelmed and stressed. This is why Iโ€™m conscious of taking breaks because itโ€™s so easy to work for a straight four hours and then get to that burned out state ๐Ÿค“

After so many weeks I also get to write in my journal again which I havenโ€™t done in a while. I finally got myself to write everything thatโ€™s been worrying me and bothering me. โ›ˆ

How about you? How often do you take time to pause and reflect? โœจ

I guess I miss #traveling so much that itโ€™s now I guess I miss #traveling so much that itโ€™s now taking over my dreams too ๐Ÿคฃ A little #throwback to my last meal in #RomeItaly and ofcourse itโ€™s gotta be #pizza ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ˜…

Never knew I could miss being in an airport yet here we are. ๐Ÿ˜… Looking forward to the day when we can #travel freely again without these restrictions.

This was one of my most relaxed flights  despite being one of the longest.. From Rome to Paris to Hong Kong and finally to Manila. Iโ€™m pretty sure I was exhausted but was excited because I know someone was waiting for me at the airport. ๐Ÿ˜… And in my husbandโ€™s words โ€œhe followed his heart and it led him to the airportโ€ ๐Ÿคฃ And that was the last time I traveled with my maiden name ๐Ÿ˜‚

Who else misses traveling as much as I do? ๐Ÿ˜ญ Bali, Budapest, Scotland, Niseko, when will I see you? ๐Ÿ˜Œ

Sharing this reminder about #selfcare ๐Ÿ’– The pas Sharing this reminder about #selfcare ๐Ÿ’– The past few days have been crazy and I feel so overwhelmed with everything that I feel like I canโ€™t get anything done. As soon as I tick one off on my to-do list, a couple of things would pop up and add more to it. ๐Ÿ˜Œ Anyone relate to this? ๐Ÿ˜†

Iโ€™m pretty good with getting things done, but not being able to #travel or work in cafes for a while has seriously affected my #productivity ๐Ÿฅด So if youโ€™re currently #workingfromhome and you feel like your productivity has dwindled down, changing your workplace could do the trick.

A lot of people who #workfromhome today arenโ€™t used to this kind of set up and could feel burned out or have a hard time separating work time and home life.

Today, be more #mindful and try to create a schedule that works for you. Donโ€™t forget to add #selfcare activities because thatโ€™s one of the most important things ๐Ÿ˜Š

I still have a huge chunk in my #todolist but Iโ€™m pumped to smash them all before the week ends ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿฅ‚

Listening to music can also help, at least for me. I love listening to #LoFi and chill tracks and my current favorites are Take Me by @miso.music (Thanks to @lalalalisa_m ๐Ÿ˜) Windowpane by @matthaiostbw and Day 1 by @hellohonne ๐ŸŽถ
