BON VOYAGE: Phase I Life as I remember as a Kiwi

Phase I: Change Behaviour

2010 November, Wellington, New Zealand.

New Zealand, my second home. Instead of going back to Hamilton where I spent most of my teen time there, I have decided to stay in our capital city Wellington. No why, my best friends were there and still there ...

During this period of time, I learn a phrase: Very Good!

Core value: What make out of you, who you really are. Once you know it, then you will know the purpose of why you are here, so call the meaning of life (That's what I understand ... you don't have to agree with me, cox you will have your own learning to do ^_* -> That's a wink FYI)

After arriving home, I continued my search of who I really am, and what my task in life. In order to accomplish this easy yet impossible task, looking deep within is what I should always do. Wellington is the perfect place to get start of this internal path! Since its always windy (Its a windy city after all) and over 265 days of rain, and the most important of all was: I live up on the hill!
No car means I need to catch the very last bus which stop by my place after work everyday. That last bus ends 5:30PM weekday! Weekend? Walk! Brilliant!

Living in this beautiful place, I start to listen to my thoughts every second! All kind of thoughts! It was unbelievable my brain just keep talking to me even I am in this peaceful and magical place!
I am telling you! Talking! Non-stop! All kinds of things, mostly from the past! This loath me!
Therefore; I start to listen but with "No Comments" on all kind of thoughts! Not to add any emotion, comments, or any other spice into it! A deep breath ... I am back to reality, back to present

Somehow; I need to thanks all those thoughts, they were the key that help me to find out the layout on my core value, the layout I need to peel off! Those layout have one in common: Not good enough. No matter what I have encountered, the first comment to myself is: "Oh no, I am not good enough! I need to be humble!" This might cause from the family, might cause from the overall environment, might cause from a lots of source! But! Is this really other people think of you?
Old me ... YES! with my watery eyes.
Present me, I doubt it ... People have lot more things in their mind then you can imagine, besides; they are just not that into you! So instead of thinking: Oh what would others think of me ... I started to listen to my thoughts at that moment ... look at them: Is that a criticise? Is that an analytical report!? Whatever you do! Don't tag them, just let them pass.

That's no the only thing I starting to do, but still listening to the outside world. Somehow I found, no matter what you did! Good or bad, right or wrong, or just nothing ... The only thing kiwis normally said is: Very Good!

Good: Very Good ... (more like well-done!)
Bad: Very Good ... (more like oh well ... what you can do, just let it be)
Right: Very Good ... (more like, lucky me/us!)
Wrong: Very Good ... (more like, darn ... next time then)

Everything is what we have created out of our mind, so why not just make it Very Good ^_* (Wink!)

Core Value: Open mind willing to learn and be change! Light up in the darkness and spread the laughter around beloved ones!

BON VOYAGE: Phase I Change!

今年一直有這個想法,就是把過去一年的生活記錄下來。
雖然大部分都忘光光了,但還是蠻精彩的啦。
Happiness Project 這一個靈感是來自Gretchen Rubin 的 The Happiness Project 這一本書,反正每一個人都是一本書的話,要把自己作為一個項目來分享的話,身為一個專業經理人做項目是難不倒我拉~~

Phase I: Change Behaviour

一直以來我都對自己沒什麼信心,對自己沒什麼安排,常常在想如果活在古代我應該會活的比較快樂,因為從一出生家裡的人就會把接下來的人生打理好。該做什麼就做什麼,自己也不必思考太多,也不用因為選擇錯誤而負責任。是的,我曾經就是一個不負責任的人!

就在2010年的時後。。。應該連老天爺都看不下去了吧,所以讓我經歷了一場從內到外的改變。幸運的我也遇到了心靈的指導鮮姑,指引我走進到喜悅之道。
這一切不外乎因為分手,其實人會有所轉變或是想要改變都是因為人生中遇到挫折,不管是很大像是快死掉的那一種,或是小的像分手阿被裁員阿等等。都是一個人生的轉累點。

所以在2010年的9月我決定了要快樂,平靜,唯一的重新出發!
除了改變居住的環境,想了一下其實最重主要的是自己本身的改變。
最終要做到境隨心轉,而不是心隨境轉阿。為此我開始看一些我之前並不會去看的書籍,也開始跟自己對話,深層的對話。

很多時間我們都把自己當作受害者,一直讓自己很快樂地活在痛苦之中,不斷地向外界要那痛苦的養分。“反正都是對方的錯!我好可憐喔,你說對不對?” 頃聽者的那一個‘對’字對那時候的我們來說是很重要的,因為那就是‘我是受害者’的最好證明。

初戀七年中,我就是那一個很快樂的受害者,那一個一直拿著阿信劇本演戲的女主角。而戲也有演累的一天,所以改變是我那時唯一的選擇!

改變,生活方式:
很鴕鳥的我選擇了回到小時候長大的紐西蘭,充電,靜心,思考。在這一段時間我觀察我自己所有生活的方式,說話的方式,吃飯的方式,思考的方式一切很細微的方式。
我是一個很大辣辣的人,不理會小節的人,動作很快不喜歡過程只想很快知道結果的人。
在家裡的這一段時間,我開始了一個小小的 Project: Be the other Me.

吃飯的時候我強迫自己慢慢嚼食食物。做事的時候我強迫我自己的眼睛專注地看得自己的雙手。跟人說話的時候我強迫自己看著對方的眼睛。開始改變說話所用的詞彙。總而言之一切的一切就是要跟之前的我作相反的模式。一個月兩個月過去,慢慢習慣會改變的,在這個改變中也發現了其實最重要的一個好處就是,自覺!

許多時候人們都會說“阿,我就是這樣阿,我改不了!” 。。。是阿,沒人可以改變任何一個人!但這樣的人生好像會蠻無趣,所以我也幫我自己的人生劇本改寫了一下,為什麼一定照著誰的劇本走阿?要改變自己的劇本最重要一定要能自覺!察覺到自己的現狀而加以改變

習慣是可以被養成的,在那六個月中我養成了:早睡,閱讀,靜心,感受,思考,取消。
