I just finished reading Lean In and feeling really good.
It's Saturday and I am sitting beside the window, the sun is pouring in without being glaring and I'm munching on my sub.
I ask myself am I better than yesterday at handling my responsibilities, better at multi-tasking or better at accepting failures.
Hmm, I believe I am, even though I am still very critical of myself at times.
If there is anything that I got used to this year, it is to like just heck it and give myself some "me" time again.
Or maybe I really am just trying.

I woke up this morning and just wanted to start on my work. It took a conscious effort on my part to just sit down, and pick up my book to read and maybe that's why I'm feeling slightly more cheerful now.

Many a times, I suppose i do hold myself back at work, not wanting to speak up, being nervous when others asks for my opinion, fearing that I might have said the wrong things and in the process hurting another. I suppose I need to be more decisive now and hold through to it.

I think I know what I want to say at my work review. I want to stop undermining the things I do and just really say what I did and feel proud of it.
[ talking to myself]

Alright, I should go and watch the documentary on the forbidden city.
