Mid-year Development Goals Review 2025

It’s Sunday, today I am feeling a lot better. Feel a lot more myself compared to previous weeks. I guess it’s inflammation from the food and lack of nutrition that really set me back last time. Seriously, takeaways options have the most damaging dishes to the body and not fit for daily consumption. Yes, over here in Malaysia foods are cheap but quality is subpar. I’d rather cook than having them. I just wish I have more time and energy to prepare well-nourishing food consistently. My food-prep has been untimely lately due to lack of preparation in budget and time. Yeah, I need to reassess again how much food do I need a month with extra supplements on multivitamins and proteins.

Just quick reviews from my goals as at July 2025:

Self-care and wellbeing

  • Progressing – focus on decluttering, sleep hygiene first. Next on wardrobe upgrade and my hair maintenance

Devotion

  • Still a lot to do – focus on memorising Qunut first

Finance

  • Getting there – work on my actual income to reach RM2,500 and expenses below RM1,500 monthly. Fulfill my savings first, then fill in ASB

Pending Jobs, Preliminary Action, UOB Painting Competition

  • Have to go at the back-burner this time – I’ll resume things by August 2025 after my thesis submission

Home-making

  • Small progress but I am slowly getting there. Have to complete the bathroom first; then the living room paint job (which is not in the list but I want a different vibe this time)

Education

  • Haven’t started saving yet – but I am eye-ing on the Pilates ISSA Cert

Fitness & Nutrition

  • Still learning on what my body is lacking in and improve my nutrition. Training is going steady, though there are hiccups – I am getting the hang of it now. Did my handstand in May! Now progressing to bar muscle ups.

I have underestimated the degree of difficulties involved in thesis correction. 2 more stages to go. I hope nothing major is required for the next stage. I have to prepare and care for my body so that I am fit to face whatever that is coming up for this dissertation. I am on track, focus and keep going.
