May EDITION

This may seem like a simple question but it’s highly underrated. It’s time we explore the importance of checking in with ourselves and ask the simple yet crucial question, ’How am I feeling?’ We often get so caught up in our daily routines and the demands of our work that we forget to take a moment to refl ect on our emotional and mental wellbeing. So much so, that most seem to be loosing their mental orientation in the process. In this fast paced life, it’s easy to lose sight of what really matters. We get caught up in the endless cycle of work and social media, always chasing after the next big thing, comparing ourselves to others, and constantly feeling the pressure to achieve more. But in the end, what does it all really mean? Who cares what others are doing or saying? We have one life to live, and it’s up to us to make the most of it on our own terms. It’s time to rediscover the simple pleasures in life, to slow down and enjoy the little things. Whether it’s reading a book on a lazy summer afternoon or taking a long train ride to an unknown destination, let’s savor these moments and cherish them. It’s important to break free from the constant comparisons and unnecessary goals and instead focus on what truly makes us happy. At the end of the day, it’s not about what we accomplish or how much money we make. It’s about the relationships we build, the memories we create, and the impact we have on the world around us.
