Another year in my life has passed. Last year I did a little summary of what had happened to me since my previous birthday .I decided I liked this idea, so I’m going to do it again 
Since my last birthday:
- I’ve kept up with my daily meditations
- I completed my diploma (yay!)
- I started a new online job
- I started doing a Masters Degree, which I really enjoy despite some ups and downs.
- I’ve completed Mindfulness Based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy course at Oxford Mindfulness centre
- I’ve become a mentor for University of Leiden on Coursera
- I moved out of the Buddhist community
- I went back to China and thoroughly enjoyed it
- I went to Poland – unplanned, but very welcomed trip
- I got a new job at a new -for me – UK University
- I’ve written my first journal article (ok, that was my uni submission, but yet, first time )
- I’ve continued to meet interesting, crazy and kind people.
And in my last year’s post I mentioned assertiveness. I feel that I’ve not stopped developing it and my overall confidence has grown too. I’m not saying it’s all easy and not scary- far from that at times, but I enjoy pushing through those uncomfortable feelings and emotions, especially when I feel that I’ll be better off on ‘the other side of fear’.
Crazy and busy year, but have learnt a lot!
Happy birthday to me
