The Prep Plan

Staring at the wall this morning, the prep plan looks rather meticulous and my thoughts turn to ‘will I be just as meticulous when I’m not working???’ 🤔

Yesterday was a momentous day as it was the last time I would step into the office, working with some of the most wonderful and talented people I’ve ever met. The feeling (that I’ve left work) still eludes me, maybe it just haven’t sunk in yet. I do hope that I don’t automatically turn up at work on Monday! 😱

One thing that I’ve learned from my neuro studies is that the brain doesn’t like the unknown because it perceived the unknown as not safe and that would result in non-execution. Putting this into practice, the prep plan was drilled down from a 18-24 months (very long dreadful time) to multiple manageable 6-weeks milestones.

A few hiccups along the way, including a foolish attempt on the wall with me ended up tearing my MCL. It was frustrating yet humbling, life’s lessons at its best! I can just imagine my body telling me off, ‘if you don’t want to listen, I’ll make you and you’ll have no choice’. No choice indeed 🙄 I had to improvise to stay on track and that introduced me back to a familiar activity, walking and hiking, which takes me to places that I never even thought of going. Things happened for a reason…I believe.

The map of the world was a motivation and at times, a reminder of how insignificant I am as one human being living in this planet. There is a bigger picture in which I still lack the vision or the awareness to see hence the desire to venture, explore and wander.

I am ready to be the student of life!
