Allhumdolillah! I am at a much better place since my last post with series of lab tests, utlrasounds, a mammogram and some other really scary tests, and a gut wrenching anxiety of results. I am doing well thankfully everything was clear except low iron levels with vitamin d3 deficiency. These deficiencies are now on their way to recovery. It is worth noting that I have been struggling with intense brain and physical fatigue since 2019 but not a single doctor was able to identify my problem. Once somebody is diagnosed with depression or anxiety then every health issue they complain about is looked from the psychological lenses. Nobody asked me to check iron, vitamin b12 or vitamin d3 deficiencies even my mum who is a dermatologist always assured me that I am fine and this weakness is just a phase. It was a phase alright, it engulfed almost 8 years of my life pushed back my career and research ambitions. This is not the case alone with me but there are many people who silentl...
With all my heartiest prayers and best wishes to all of you and your loved ones.... May this year all your wishes be granted, may this year all your dreams come true, may you all live health & prosperity this year and all the years to come.
It has now become a ritual for me to set for myself some new resolutions, some new commitments, and above all, take some new measures in order to free myself of the old baggage and behavioral patterns that are not doing me any good.
Therefore, I Sonya Syed, hereby resolve to:
Give more love to my family and my friends.

P.S. This year I
resolve to start HAPPINESS JAR practice. It is a very simple practice, every
day write down the happiest moment of that day on a small piece of paper it and
put it in that jar.
There
are very seldom glamorous moments, or dramatic moments, or moments of great
accomplishment in life. Happiness comes in the sideways moments, the humble
moments.
And
every single day, no matter how great or horrible, has one happiest moment or
at least one "least horrible" moment. It's worth it to record those
moments, because they are fleeting and precious beyond measure.
And
someday (days, months or years later) when you want to feel good, you reach
into the jar and pull out a memory (that would otherwise have been long
forgotten), you can remember one of the simplest and best random moments of life
and reading them over will make you happy all over again.
These
are my New Year Resolutions, please do share with me yours…
Have
a beautiful & prosperous New Year.
Sonya
Syed. (Day 509)
