Five hours that change my life

Cool title. It has both the not so long story and the long story behind it.

In short, it is true that the five counseling session that I went is very helpful. It somehow is able to change my mindset on how we can set realistic expectation on the change itself, and that we need to build good habits to replace negative habits including anxiety. It also gives me understanding on the vicious cycle of perfectionism.

It reminds me that something that look relatively short can change the way we think. I am about to sign up for a mentorship program that look short, 6x1 hours within 6 months. But as I recall back about the counseling sessions, isn’t similar in terms of the duration. So something that is small or short apparently can be used by God for His plan to mould us.

At the same time, it also reminds that it is not as simple like that. By five hours, it means the time of talking and understanding. But apart of those five hours, there is a consistent good habit that needs to be built. If we just do the five hours, I don’t think I can change. It was the good habits that were learned conceptually and committed during the session which catalyzed the change in me.

So the challenge is still real even as I have improved. For example, just now I wasted some time searching for run event just because there happens to be a corporate discount for that. Thank God that I can stop and continue the plan to do several things tonight again.
