A Lightbulb Moment

I've been seeing a counsellor (aka shrink, whatever you choose to call it) recently. She helps put things in perspective whenever crisis mode hits, which believe me, can happen very often.

Recently, I've found myself not enjoying the activities that I used to enjoy. When I told my counsellor this she helped me organise a values list. This list has all the things, people, ideologies and basically all that I value and uphold. She said whenever I don't feel like doing anything that I used to enjoy, to re-visit my values list and affirm myself that what I'm doing or about to do is strengthening the things that I uphold most in life.

Satisfaction from re-affirming my values will bring about happiness and enjoyment in whatever I'm doing or whoever I'm talking to.

May sound like simple and basic concept for some people but this was actually a light bulb moment for me.

More good things to come.
