Kristine's Voice: The Podcast

It's been a long while since I last uploaded an episode for you guys, but I hope you're all doing well.

This episode is my proof of life, having been MIA and just being so busy these past 2-3 months. Also, this is a sort of self-reflection now that I am celebrating yet another birthday. Cheers to another year of life!

Please listen to the episode as I expound more on these realizations/learnings. But here's the complete list, for your reference. Things I learned in life, thus far:
1. Life is short.
2. Let go of things you cannot control.
3. Be kind (to others and to yourself).
4. Celebrate small victories.
5. Be genuine in your interactions.
6. Be honest with yourself.
7. Stop comparing.
8. There's not always a correct answer.
9. Not every one needs to know your business.
10. Think before - you act, speak, click 😉
11. Help without expecting anything in return.
12. There's nothing wrong with asking for help.
13. Immerse yourself in the arts. - 
14. In your quest for success, don't go walking over other people.
15. Stick it out. Stand by your decisions.
16. Stop obsessing over what-ifs and what could-bes.
17. If you think you're running out of options, think again. Maybe a change in perspective is what you need.
18. Let reading take you places.
19. It's okay to feel deeply.
20. Bad days are welcome.
21. Fail many times. Fail often. Learn as you go along.
22. It's okay to be ordinary. 💜
23. Invest in yourself. - health, education
24. Laugh from the heart.
25. We're all different, but not really.
26. Do not eat only to feel bad afterwards. Haha.
27. Embrace everything that you are.
28. Learning never stops.
29. Walk by faith. ✨
30. Don't be afraid to start over and start again.

Love and light,
Kristine

Hi there! I hope you are doing well. I am sharing with you this episode, which focuses on my Top 3 takeaways from Andrea Owen's book entitled, How to Stop Feeling Like Sh*t I honestly have more I want to share about the book, but I want to delve into it in separate episodes so I hope you watch out for that. For now, I am giving you a totally impromptu, top of my mind takeaways from my read. I'm sure you all can relate to it. ;) Also, this will be part of a new series on WHY YOU SHOULD READ/WATCH... I am going to focus more on books for now, since I am spending most of my time reading these days. These are books that I want to share with you, books that I usually post on my booklist account (IG: @kristinesbooklist). This will allow me the space to provide more insights-the ones I cannot compress in the captions section, hahaha.

This episode springs from a realization I have had earlier today, and it's something I want to share with you in more detail.

I never really thought of the 5 love languages as in terms of self-care. In my mind, it's always directed outwards: for family, for friends, for others.

After reading the article (link down below), I can say I have, recently, done all (receiving gifts and quality time both at the top) except give myself words of affirmation. I don't know why that is exactly but, perhaps I'm just not used to it?

A friend once said to me that I easily give compliments—primarily voicing out what I find good and nice first, while others hurry to criticize. I didn't think much of it then. But now I realized these words of affirmation and encouragement—something so simple, something I allow myself to easily give to others—are things I rarely let myself have.

With this realization, I encourage you to encourage yourself.

I have also left FIVE important words of affirmation within this episode. A little something for you to listen to in case you haven't yet given yourself some words of encouragement today.

I really hope you enjoy this episode, and I'll see you again soon!

For weeks I stayed away from any recording equipment I have at home, and just focused on getting into a good headspace.  I even hated the sound of my own voice, if I am being honest. After taking rest and doing some thinking, I came across Lily Collins' book, Unfiltered. Well, I saw Emily in Paris first before finally deciding to put her book in my reading list. I love love love her there btw. (^^,)v

This book could not have come at such an opportune time. It's exactly what I needed. I can relate to many of Lily's stories, and in this episode, I am sharing with you 4 points, 4 takeaways  from the book which I hope you could keep in mind as you greet 2021.
