Mid-March 2017 Update

Update No. 1 on 2017 Priorities, Systems and Goals

My progress so far…

Priorities	Systems / Goals	Evaluation
No. 1: Mental and Spiritual Health	Meditate daily	I meditate about 2-3 times per week. Pretty happy with this but will be great to increase weekly frequency to 3-4 times.
	Practise yoga daily	I practise yoga about 3-4 times per week. Pretty happy with this, but hope to increase the intensity of my sessions (e.g. deeper stretches, more power movements)
	Find meaning in life	✘ (I feel that I should start thinking about and making peace with death... I suppose that would help with finding meaning in life?)
No. 2: Physical Health	Get enough sleep (at least 7 hours a day)	✔
	Eat healthily	Pretty happy with this. I have decreased lunch caloric intake by about half these past 2 months. Really looking to try fasting, but the thought of it is mentally crippling. HOPE TO OVERCOME FEAR OF FASTING.
	Be active everyday	I am active almost everyday. Reasonably happy with progress; hope to do more higher-intensity workouts.
	Go for a suitable full-body health screening	✘
No. 3: Relationships	Spend quality time with loved ones	✔
No. 4: Career	Stay employed for most parts of the year	Plodding along…
	Find a higher-paying job with equally little stress and decent work-life balance	✘ Been on the lookout for new jobs. Turned down a couple of higher-paying offers (which also promise better career prospects) simply because they entailed longer working hours and more responsibilities. Sometimes I think that I’m a joke. At 27, instead of climbing the career ladder, I’m already winding down (not even sure from what), hoping to semi-retire by 30. I really wish I can muster more career ambition…  I’ve also been entertaining thoughts of going part-time/taking a lower-paying job so that I can qualify to buy a BTO flat (and hopefully also qualify for some grants, etc) with my partner…  NEED TO SORT OUT WORK SITUATION THIS YEAR. NEED NEW PERSPECTIVE ON "CAREER/JOB".
No. 5: Finances	Invest at least S$30k in equities by year-end	✔ On track
	Increase liquid networth (LNW) by S$60k by year-end	✔ On track
No. 6: EQ	Be more authentic (online and when interacting with others in real life)	✔ Pleased with baby steps taken so far.
