Ahh.. Another start of a forthcoming blessed year.
2024. This year, I will be turning 27. I have crossed my mid-20’s and due to enter the third decade of my life.
During the previous year, I have managed to set up this website, started practicing as a house officer and moved across the sea from Peninsular Malaysia to Kuching, Sarawak.
As I mentioned before, the place and people are the loveliest and brought a sense of reassurance to me. However, that was last year and what could I strive to do better this year?
1. Live Extra Healthier
Previously my main goal was to lose weight as I have struggled with my weight management for the longest time.
However, upon starting work as a house officer, weight management is not an issue and that part is basically being taken cared of instantly. The upside of it is I got paid for it!
My aim would mainly to be more healthier. Healthier in the sense of eating more home cooked food and eating on time. Taking a break from alcohol, my liver needs rest. Sleeping properly and going for morning or evening walks, something which I used to do back then.
2. Save More
Perhaps I had the joy of finally earning a proper income on my own and being able to spend it on myself and others. However, that is time spent at work converted into cash and having money in a way equals freedom as I wouldn’t be tied towards my work.
It alleviates the stress a little more as I’m mainly going to work out of my own personal desire and not for the sake of ensuring I have a monthly income.
3. Writing More
There are days when I do write and then there are many days when I don’t.
However, writing is the thing I love and look forward to every day. Yet, I still struggle with getting an article out daily.
Hence, it is time for me to prioritise writing again especially since it is something that I enjoy doing the most.
4. Basically striving to be a BETTER person in general
This includes various aspects of my life in terms of work and self development.
Albeit being lazy, I have forgotten that learning is lifelong and I have forgotten to study as I previously did in my first posting.
It is also treating everyone, my family, friends, colleagues and my patients with patience and kindness, something which I personally see lacking around me.
It is easy to get caught up in the hustle and stressors of our daily work and hence our ability to empathize is often sacrificed.
Personally, 2024 seems rather vague to me as I’m mainly trying to get through my day in one piece and if I have managed to achieve whatever that is necessary for me within that day, is a goal accomplished in itself.
