You can call me Noi! This blog consists of my thoughts. I am just a simple person with BIG dreams! Like the charcoal, hot pressure and extreme heat must be present in order to create a Diamond. I am in the exact same process.

Identifying fears / Thursday, April 17, 2008 @ 9:45 PM
Have you ever noticed that you're more concerned about whether others will love and care for you than many people around you are? Or do you sometimes worry more than you should about being unneeded, unimportant, or even ostracized by those around you? If so, you're not alone. There are many people who share your fear of not belonging.
It can be a real strength to recognize your fears. By being aware of the things that frighten you, you can assess whether fear is helping you or negatively impacting your life. For instance, a fear of not belonging may sometimes motivate you to take action in a positive way, like by being more willing to compromise than others.
However, fear's negative aspects can sometimes be more damaging than you realize. Living with fear not only prevents you from living life to the fullest; it can also have a significant negative impact on your energy, health, and your close relationships if not kept in check.
This has been a particularly tough week for me but I know that despite the challenges thrown at me, I shall not lose the brave front.
I had an interesting conversation with someone on Sunday night and I kinda shared some really personal feelings and fears. You see, I knew what my fears were but I have never ever said it to someone like that. Perhaps my best friend know but of course, being true Britt students, we do not speak what we do not want. While revealing it was a big relief for me, I wonder if I did the right thing. I constantly have to think of what to share and what not to share and it can be really tough at times!
Nevertheless, I think the person I shared with can fully be trusted and perhaps it was her pure, caring nature that brought out that part of me that wants to share. Thank you so much dearie.
Identifying our fears is vital. I thought I knew what my fears were when I first made the decision to do this business but it was not only after I went through some challenges that discovered my true fears. It is scary at first and perhaps some people may not like to talk or even think about it. BUT, the more important thing to ask yourself is, are you doing something now to prevent your fears from coming true?
Maybe you might say that some things are out of your control, like the economy, raise in prices, yada yada...but do you think everyone share the same worries? I do not think so, there are people living in abundance and they were only able to do that because they made something significant happen. I am sure it was not easy, but it was possible and it was done.
I will get it done. I am getting it done. It is done.
I like the 3rd phrase better.
I faced my first really challenging case in school this week. This student of mine was really testing my patience and I was so angry that I literally raised my voice at him. I have never scolded anyone like that in school before (but of course not at my previous workplace haha) but I do not tolerate students being rude and doing negative actions do not benefit anyone. I think he was stunned by my reaction but I also made it clear that I do not accept his behaviour and not him. I wanted to reiterate that. Criticised the negative action, not the boy.
It was only after that, I realised that I was so exhausted from all the increase in blood pressure and scolding. Even I do not like me. Haha! I cannot imagine how the teacher next door is surviving. I can hear her screaming at the top of her lungs everyday without fail! Today when we met at the corridoor she said that her life is getting shorter teaching the class. And the students were right there behind her!
Of course I can understand that her class is a really a difficult class but still, I worry for her.
Its finally Friday and I am looking forward to this weekend! Just found out that Ganesh and Neeha Shenoy will be at Summer Conference! Yay!
Happy Fridaying!

I shall put whatever happen today behind me, start afresh and reconnect with myself again. I have been so disconnected the whole week, not entirely sure what is the cause of it. I have been so disconnected this week, even my dreams are full of anxieties and I wake up with aches and pains. The first time this year! Today was also the most stressful day of the year so far and I am trying to overwrite my migraine with my excitement!
Its finally Friday and I am looking forward to this weekend! Just found out that Ganesh and Neeha Shenoy will be at Summer Conference! Yay!
Happy Fridaying!
