Lifestyle Shift, Can We?
Hi Everyone,
Had been a long while since I posted something on my personal blog here, may be I was active more on Twitter but my lifestyle and way of thinking was hindering me from giving sufficient concentration to things that’s supposed to matter to me.
I’m undergoing a major change in responsibilities and goals, that puts me on constant pressure and sometimes leave me with some guilt not giving everyone what he/she might expect either from my personal time or business performance.
I’m from that type who think and plan a lot in a very sharp, practical way and then execute the plan in a sharper more persistent attitude. Also, I’m considerably hard to satisfy as of the quality of things I deliver, clients get satisfied and leave amazing lovely testimonials, while I’m leaving my eye with the details that could be enhanced in some sort..
Since I’m down for business – which completed 3 years last October, I think I was going with that attitude. I think I need to stop and think now; reorganize my priorities and expectations from my own self.
Also, professionally speaking, I had a geeky attitude in business in the last 3 years, I was so much into technicalities and getting attached to my own stuff. I’m currently getting more into making deals and finding what works right for my goals.
I need to take a break, perhaps not a short one to come out with a new attitude, organizing my personal papers/goals and get to my goals with the required persistent.
I’ll be heading to Alex for a few days in a trail to be with myself, thinking and going through my experience in the last 3 years, extracting lessons and deciding on a new attitude and altered lifestyle I’ll continue the next few moths with Insha’ Allah.
Wondering if you can help me with situations from your own experience? Can you relate to that?
Have you tried something similar before?
Were you able to alter your way of thinking, attitude and daily habits and what helped you in doing so?
Will keep you posted .. deep thoughts regarding the issue might be coming, though!

It has been three months since this post, what techniques have you adopted since then? And have you been able to alter what you wished to?
The most I have done to alter the way I thought about something was to busy myself with other matters and hence gradually forget what it is i wish to.

I can boldly say that I successfully altered my lifestyle in a way more than I thought possible actually. The main point that I needed to change was the one has to do with social interaction as in the last 3 years I was completely a Geek, mainly caring about technicalities, learning and working. During which I had no weekend.
By engaging more in social activities and outings in the weekend and having more mobility in work, I do my work from anywhere, I typically go to a specific public place to finish work tasks while listening to meaningful music and Tweeting about it.
I started practicing 2 sports Kung Fu (got back to it started 2004 and stopped) and Parkour – sports and weekend trips are a great way to release stress.
May be I'll add more about that later isA.
Thanks for your comment, Mariam 🙂
