Daily Reflection

  Day started as early as 4.30 am. I am surprised I wake up early, to earlier nowadays. Have not been getting down to blog since 2015, a habit I thought is a good to have. Will kickstart my engine again starting today. Benefits of blogging is to pen down my journey, sort out my thoughts and clarify whatever I think needs sorting. Life has been quite smooth flowing for me. Not sure if it is due to the house fengshui or we treasure harmony in the house, no quarrels, a lot of jokes and teasing and just us.

A good way to let go of any residual stress or preoccupations you may be carrying with you, before entering the forest, is to shake your body. We may not be able to control all the stresses of our daily lives, but we can control how we respond to them.  Turn off Mobile Phone :  Many of us suffer from "screen apnea" or email apnea".
