Minimalism Day 6: Fear

My best friend and I are doing a Minimalism challenge which you can check out here.

To reflect upon fear for me is a tough thing...I fear a lot of things.

At this point in my life, my biggest fear is not meeting expectations. This is applicable to all things going on in my life right now, because I am being challenged to give at least my 100% in my responsibilities. For example...

At work, I’ve been given a new assignment that requires a good amount of new learning, financial computations and analysis (cringe), and research work beyond the internet. It’s not something I’ve done before, not even in school. At least, not on my own. But in my department, I’m the only one handling my own projects, so I have to get a grasp of things and really really really think things through so I don’t get my analysis wrong. And I am freaking terrified I won’t be able to deliver.

On the side, I am part of a group that’s preparing for a big competition this March 2016. I actually just got back from training at 11PM on a Sunday night. By this coming week, we’ll be training like mad until we get this down. I’ve never been in a competition outside of school-related stuff, and I also haven’t been attending training regularly to consider myself confident in this craft that I have loved for over 10 years. Yet here I am, expecting to give my all in these practices--and even practice beyond the training hours so I can excel. That’s how it should be, and I hope to make it work that way. But I crack under pressure sometimes, and for me to learn something in just a week...is definitely going to push me to my limits. 

With regards to my personal project, I’ve given myself a deadline and targets to complete every week, and as of tonight, I have not been meeting those deadlines. Which is also fine because there’s a big part of my project that I’m waiting for before I can move forward, but I want to get the other things done so once the other thing is ready, I can move forward quick. So...I just need to make time. And the worst thing for me right now is to let myself down. I want to meet the expectations I set for myself. So I must get this done.

I definitely must meet the responsibilities for my health, which requires me to 1) exercise regularly, 2) eat healthy, and 3) get good sleep. It’s a tough combination given all the things I’ve set for myself. Worst is the eating...I am so bad at it (as you might have read from Day 5). 

I also put pressure on myself with regards to my relationships in life. I’ve been dealing with a lot of internal personal conflicts over the past months that have pulling me back from doing what I need to do---whatever that need is. And I need to figure that out soon. I can’t keep delaying my decisions.

Pressure. Fear of failing. Fear of realizing I’m not that smart. Fear of realizing I’m not that skilled or talented. Fear of delaying this once again. Fear of my health affecting all aspects of my life. Fear that my laziness will overpower me. Fear that I’m not giving enough.

It’s really quite a lot. I know I need to take a step back, assess what the priorities are, and focus on just a few things now. Minimize. 

Otherwise...if I try to deal with all of these things at the same time, I’m pretty sure I won’t be able to follow through well. Besides, there are underlying fears to all of these aspects. But that’s a discussion for another time.

To add to the physical minimalism challenge, I was able to do the following today:

Put back some items into my desk that I think I’ll still need. The items have definitely reduced, though once I put a photo up of my desk, you might be surprised why it seems I still have a lot of things. I just feel like I’ll need them later on, but I’m always open to reducing later on. Either way, this is a good start. I gave up some things I’ve been holding on to, including my star wars keychains and this tiny colored pencils set that was given to me by my US pen pal back in high school.

The things I didn’t keep, I brought to the usual family lunch for my family to choose from. They just took what they wanted, so there’s much less for me to worry about. I’ll post photos soon.

Meeting Expectations // Roland & Weston

Weston watched all the students leave the classroom in a rush, some less than others, but being bumped into anyway. It was the last class of the day for him, however, there he stayed. He needed to talk to someone before going home. And by the time, philosophy class should've been finished. The person was probably coming already.

Roland Lemont. His grades bordered between regular and excellent in other subjects, yet in algebra, things didn't look good at all. The proof was the student's exam and assignments, which the professor took out of his briefcase with a frown. If Roland continued like that, he'd certainly fail, and even then, he never asked for more explanations or any help on his doubts. There must've been something going on.

Thinking of what he'd have to buy at the grocery store later, Weston flipped the pages in hand slowly, his vague eyes not reading anything. The place's silence started to get to him, and no more than a few minutes later, he was nodding off. Until someone stepped into the classroom, making him wake up in a jolt.
