From the UAE

There has been plenty to write about over the past year, such amazing subjects and yet I had stayed away purely because I don't know if this will be of any particular use. Then it so happened that today I came across this "one step then another"philosophy. I mean its not a "never heard before" revelation, but something forgettable yet practical.
Well time has proved now and again that "simple" works. It is the way to go as things about the world seems to get perplexing by the day the steps we take in life to accommodate ourselves, are crucial in defining our success and happiness.
In 2014 however I have decided that "intelligent and simple" are the only ways to go about in life. I am certain of these. Having figured that out to be my standing ground for this year and possibly the years to come, I realized some

of the most crucial eliminations to my current personality should be boredom, laziness and over expectation.
Interestingly these have been all relatives, one induced and compliments the other. It goes without saying that nothing is easy, if it is easy then it won't be worth mentioning, however it has to be borne in mind that giving the negative aspects huge importance even while trying to eliminate them is only going to make it more difficult than it is. So keep a cool head, admit and be aware of what needs to go and remind yourself at decisive moments, while the constant focus should be on the things to induce, like the positive aspects.

• If your idea is to reduce the carb intake, then worrying about that and its impact will only slow you down as opposed to thinking of what alternative you will make.
• Idea to paint comes and your acting on that doesn't quiet happen as soon as you liked,  rather than focusing on reasons why that didn't happen, focus on when else it is going to happen, that way you will have a better chance of having it done sooner.
• Simple thing like keeping a proper posture, the only way is to time and again remember, not worry about bad posture every time u find yourself in one , but changing it the instance you know that it is a bad posture, is the only step to change.
• Going for walks, checking your overall health has to be not a matter of worry but of an everyday existence, it is a way of life, happy and fulfilling. Worries won't do!
• Appreciate yourself, when you do something.
• Do what you would not necessarily feel like doing but you know you should without no further thought.

I think with these practices one of my biggest issues, which is the thought cobwebs that exist inside my head, can be cleared. Am I being simple here and not giving in to the temptation of being complex? well I guess I should just stick to the first part of the sentence and ask, Am i being simple here? 

So here are my things to include in life:

1. To get back my concentration to reading, its just a healthy habit makes sure you don't end up having memory issues early on in life, and in a social circle you will feel better equipped and accepted.
2. No excuses to unhealthy food habits and hindrances to general well being.
3. Don't worry about things which are out of your hand.In the event that you are old enough to know what you want and still don't, well please remind yourself that people don't know what they want most of the time, its just a step by step progression towards what you hope is what you want, besides what you want is a tricky business which keeps changing completely every year, hence the fashion of resolutions and such. 

In my whole honesty, I must say writing more often, is the only way to solve my issue of wandering thoughts. I find it hard to stay on a subject. Its a survival of the fittest scenario for them.
Today I came to write something about a rainy day, an unlikely event in the Arabian desert , baking something challenging , more like a chemistry lab, and the need to see if I can still write. As you can see I have wandered into a different zone, that has been ticking my brains for a long time now. I guess its a queue. Whether or not I acknowledge it, the most agitating thoughts seem to pours out first consciously or otherwise.
I think I have learned a lesson or two today about me with certainty. That I can still write ( not good but express myself in words) and I have a lot of good observations which can help me.
You see what I worry about my writing is that, I don't know if I will write good, and make a mockery out of this. Its nonsensical as can be, no one is paying me for this, and if I ever imagine getting paid I have to start somewhere, don't I ? besides I don't have any excuses for not writing unlike previous times, where I deliberately found some. I am unable to craft excuses even.
I have a brand new Mac air, a fabulous cover in fluorescent orange, plenty of time and subjects, very supportive partner, much of my space. Thank God!
So I guess this is me throwing procrastination away and going with it all. More of a banter, but learning to contain a subject and to not give into writing too much are to come later.
Write, read, learn, paint, photography, exercise, pray, cook, travel, sleep and smile for now. Once I think I can keep things like these simple, I guess the next steps will reveal itself. Now on to my rainy day blog, well too much on one day?? Cant worry now, can only just do!!
