Reflection Sunday


Spring Cleaning for the Mind: A Reflection on Mid-February 2023

Happy Sunday Peeps!

As we near the midpoint of February 2023, it's a good time to pause and reflect on the year so far. Time seems to be flying by, and it's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day hustle and bustle of life. But it's important to take a step back, breathe, and reset.

This Sunday, I'm taking a break from the usual routine and doing a bit of spring cleaning. Not just of my physical space, but of my mind as well. I'm taking the time to reflect on my goals, my priorities, and what I want to achieve in the coming months.

In many ways, this type of reflection is similar to the process of economic forecasting. Just as I'm looking ahead and trying to plan for the future, economists must also constantly be looking ahead, trying to predict future trends and identify potential risks and opportunities.

So, whether you're doing a physical spring cleaning or a mental one, take a moment to reflect on where you've been and where you're headed. And who knows, you might just discover something new about yourself in the process.

Until next time, keep reflecting and keep growing 🌻

xoxo,
Aini Yoon💜

Reflecting on Life with Milo and Kuci. Happy Sunday, peeps! As Sunday rolls around, it's a perfect opportunity to slow down and reflect on the week. And what better way to start the day than with some feline love? This morning, I bathed my two beloved cats, Milo and Kuci (a cute ginger tabby cat!), and it was a calming and grounding experience. As I spend time with my furry friends, I also take the time to plan out my upcoming week. This includes setting aside time to study and work on my goals. I like to make sure I have a solid plan in place so that I can make the most of each day. And what's a Sunday without a good book? Currently, I'm engrossed in a page-turner that I can't wait to share with all of you in my next Bookish Saturday edition. Reading is a great way to unwind and reflect on the world around us. In the words of American author, Maya Angelou, 'In the quiet of Sunday morning, every soul is equal.' Take some time today to reflect, recharge, and jus...

The Art of Living for Postgraduate Economists Hey there! As a postgraduate student in economics, I'm excited to welcome you to my first post on my blog. Today, I want to talk about the Art of Living philosophy and how it relates to my studies in economics. As economists, we often focus on data, trends, and forecasts, but sometimes it's easy to forget the importance of living in the moment and finding meaning in our lives. The Art of Living philosophy emphasizes the importance of being present and making the most of each day. It teaches us to be mindful, compassionate, and patient and helps us cultivate a greater sense of joy and contentment in our lives. In economics, we learn about the importance of making informed decisions and maximizing our resources. The Art of Living philosophy can help us apply these concepts to our personal lives by teaching us to prioritize our well-being and make decisions that support our happiness and fulfilment. By balancing our focus on economics ...

Malaysia and the World - How a Small Country Makes an Impact Hello readers! In today's edition of Coffee Chat Thursday, we'll be discussing how a small country like Malaysia can make a big impact on the world. It's amazing to see how a country with limited resources can still make a positive difference in the lives of others. The recent earthquake in Turkey is a testament to this, as our SMART team went to Turkey to help search for victims and offer support. Kindness and being present for each other are key factors in making a positive impact. No matter how small the action may seem, it can go a long way in bringing hope and comfort to those in need. Whether it's donating money or volunteering time, every little bit helps. From an economic perspective, it's important to note that small countries like Malaysia have the ability to play a significant role in the global economy. Through trade and investment, small countries can help drive economic growth and stability. ...
