Podcast description: Life can be messy sometimes, and lately, I’ve been finding it difficult to focus amongst everything. I have had sleepless nights, as there has been constant demands from work and study, and I have to be honest, it’s all starting to exhaust me. My mind just feels like it’s constantly in a washing machine mode.

So I’ve recently discovered a book on practicing the Art of Zen; a state of focus that incorporates togetherness of body and mind. Zen is a way of being. It is a state of mind which involves dropping illusions and delusions, and seeing things without distortion created by our thoughts. In other words, seeing things for what they truly are.

I’ve only just started reading it, and so far, it’s been really insightful in helping me being at peace with things that are currently going on in my life.

Here’s a quote I’ve found in the book:

“We will find the way in whispers of truth which we experience in our everyday life, and as we follow that trail, we will find greater peace and joy throughout the day”.

On another topic, I’ve also started reading a book called “Living through a difficult moment” by Tony Nwoye. There was a particular chapter on ‘Hardship’ in which I have dissected and would like share to you guys today in my podcast audio!
