January mini blog:

During January, I found that healing goes beyond just physical relief—it's about emotional and spiritual recovery too. I was fortunate to experience this through Teacher Lumina's incredible energy healing that helped me process feelings of homesickness and physical discomfort, like period cramps. This experience reminded me how important it is to attend to our entire well-being. I also focused on staying connected with family and friends, which brought comfort during moments of loneliness and stress. Traveling between Singapore, Taiwan, and Japan added layers of emotion, especially leaving places I cherish. Food played a big part in my journey too; incorporating good protein like beef cube salad and enjoying local breakfasts helped me nourish my body, while shared meals with colleagues sparked deeper conversations around challenging topics like broken family ties and friendship. One of the more amusing aspects was trying to spot what's unusual in certain photos—sometimes these little imperfections make the memories even more real and relatable. Tracking lifestyle and health changes, like getting accustomed to different coffee tastes and managing winter period discomfort, also gave me new perspectives on self-care. Overall, January was about embracing vulnerability, growth, and finding joy in small, everyday moments.
