一月份报告 | Monthly Report: Jan 2011

Link to: 2011 Reso-Resolution

Had some progress on the following goals this month.

1. Relationship with God.
God has been extremely kind to me and has shown mercy on me. His voice has never been this clear before, I am extremely touched, it's an amazing feeling that no words can describe. May God bless everyone who reads this.

- I did morning prayers, but not everyday. I want to make this a habit.
- Attended weekly online churches and talk-it-over discussions.
- My bible reading plan is on schedule.

2. Writing.
This monthly report is part of the effort for organizing my messy thoughts (and helping me to stay on track). Some pictures were taken, but haven't gone through them yet.

- I'm losing my habit of writing (diary), instead, I kept little notes here and there.

3. Exercise.
- Did stretching like once in a while, inconsistently.
- Jogged only once.

4. Reading.
- On page 152 for "1Q84" (book 1)
- Read a couple of Phil Yeh's graphic novels.

5. Train my left hand.
Been using my left hand to brush my teeth, almost everyday, every time.

6. Tidy/Cleaning Up Areas and Files.
Sort of cleaned up my work area, but I am still looking for some 'perfect' location to place some stuffs, instead of just placing it somewhere. I want to get this done before CNY.

11. Drive to places.
Drove all by myself for the first time, on 27th Jan 2011.

不要畏惧

现在的我
不敢动
眼睛呆滞锁着前方
脚扎根在地上了。

回想
去年的我
应该早就落跑了。

抬头
有天父
看守着我

所以现在的我
我不敢逃了
不能往回跑了。

只是我还是
不够勇敢。

恳请天父
在后面推我一把
好让我可以前进
毫无畏惧的
勇敢前进。

愿主永远与我们同在
奉主耶稣的名
阿门。

乱中带序二零一一 | 2011 Reso-reso Resolution

1. Relationship with God.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for your unconditioned love and patience for me, please discipline me and teach me to put You first in everything I do.

- first thing in the morning, pray to God
- attends life church and talk-it-over discussions
- complete Youversion reading plan by May 2011

2. Writing.

There are voices in my mind 24/7. They never shut up and sometimes I lose control of my emotions and feel very bipolar. I'm sorry that I'm unstable.

- jot down/take pic of important things
- organize my messy thoughts

3. Exercise.

Exercise helps to balance brain chemicals. Besides staying healthy, it helps to maintain my 'healthy' mood, so I will have less unstable times.

- jogging and/or swimming every weekend, 1 - 2 time(s)
- basic stretching
- wants to be able to bend over and touch the ground

4. Reading.

Reading keeps me focused and ponder on some thoughts. I seriously need to relearn how to focus and concentrate.

- Finish "1Q84" (book 1 & 2) by Murakami Haruki
- NEW: Finish "1Q84" (book 3) by Murakami Haruki
- Finish "艺术治疗" by Dr. Shaun McNiff
- Finish Phil Yeh's and Chin Yew's Comics

5. Train my left hand.

Due to less-than-severe-but-not-light injury from repetitive strain on my right hand/arm/颈椎, I would really want to put less strain on my right hand by training my left hand to do certain simple activities. It's good for the brain too.

- brush teeth
- write
- doodle

6. Tidy/Cleaning Up Areas and Files.

Workspace and the environment reflects your mind state. This has been on my to-do list like... for years. *guilty and embarassed* Yeah I have a very messy state of mind. I need to do something about it, the aim is to be “乱中有序” (luan4 zhong1 you3 xu4)，which means it seems messy but in fact there are certain rules/discipline to it, this has been my “座右铭” (zuo4 you4 ming2，motto) since high school.

Areas:
- workspace
- wardrobe
- bookcase(s)
- room desk
- room shelves

Digital Files and Non-digital Files:
- back up important files
- arrange them in appropriate folders and location
- Photos: upload.

7. Draw.

I wonder why I almost put this last.

- Paint something digitally.
- Clean up my dA deviations.

8. Revise Japanese Language.

- just wanna be able to read hiragana and katakana without any difficulty

9. ll-m.

No clear plans on this yet, but I will try.

10. Graduate and earn money.
Does this count? But I really wanna graduate very badly.
This is vague but yeah, regardless of full-time or part-time job, earn a decent amount of money then pay my own debts and give money to parents.

11. Drive to places.
If you see a driver that annoys you so much that you can't stop honking and pressure her, that's probably me. Sorry, I very noob, please forgive me, but I really have to learn to drive to places by myself. T_T
