How to Stay Persistent? A Guide and A Mindfulness Journey to Nurturing Persistence

Image
Hello everyone, it’s Shan Mei. I’m excited to bring you a promised guide on how to foster persistence. If you’re new to my blog and interested in the backstory, feel free to check out my previous post: My Personal Experience with Persistence: Understanding Its Importance and Challenges. I’ll be the first to admit that persistence and self-discipline are not my strong suits, so I really get how tough it can be to develop these traits. That’s exactly why I wanted to create this guide—not just for you, but as a way for us to grow together and become better versions of ourselves. I’ve researched some articles and websites for tips on becoming more persistent and self-disciplined. While they offer some good advice, they often feel a bit superficial, like they’re just scratching the surface.

My Personal Experience with Persistence: Understanding Its Importance and Challenges

Image
Hello everyone, it’s Shan Mei here—welcome back! Last week was a bit rough as I ended up catching Covid. It’s kind of ironic; I dodged it all through the pandemic, and just when cases have become rare, I find myself down with it. It really shows how during the pandemic, wearing masks and following other precautions helped us stay healthy. Now that people have relaxed these measures, here I am, caught the virus from someone walking around maskless. A gentle reminder: if you’re sick, please keep your mask on to protect others! Due to some intense headaches and weakness, I’ve had to take a break from the blog, which is why this post is coming to you later than usual. In this blog, we’re diving deeper into “ persistence ”—a topic I touched on in my first blog. No worries if you haven’t read that one; you’ll catch up just fine here. What is persistence? Sharing personal struggles in being persistent Persistence , as defined by the Britannica Dictionary, is the quality that allows someone to

My Personal Experiences About Writing, Reading, and Everything in Between

Image
Hello everyone, I’m Shan Mei.  Welcome to my very first blog post. This is the first time in my past 22 years writing a blog. Although I’m a girl who kinda likes writing (I’ve tried writing novels before), blogging feels like a completely new genre. It’s about sharing real experiences, connecting with readers, and reflecting on life. It’s a challenge, but I’m excited to embrace it! To be honest, I’m still figuring out exactly what to write about, so I’ll take it naturally. I’ll start by sharing some personal experiences and thoughts, and let things flow from there. I hope you find my content interesting and that it resonates with you!
