Some days on this journey are hard to put into words.
Day 34 and 35 were those days.
My mind felt unsettled, not because of something personal, but because of something much bigger – the pain, fear, and sadness caused by recent events. What happened at Bondi Beach shook something deep inside me. It made me pause and question:
Why can’t people live peacefully?
Why does hate still overpower humanity?
💔 Sitting With the Uncertainty
These days, I didn’t have clear reflections or structured practices to write about. I just sat with my feelings – confusion, sadness, disbelief. And I realised that mindfulness is not always about feeling calm or positive. Sometimes, it’s about allowing yourself to feel the heaviness of the world without turning away from it.
I allowed myself to feel empathy.
I allowed myself to feel grief for people I don’t even know.
I allowed myself to feel shaken.
And that, too, is awareness.
🙏 A Prayer From the Heart
My heart goes out to the families who lost their loved ones.
No words can heal that kind of pain.
I pray that God gives them courage, comfort, and strength during this unimaginable time.
May they feel surrounded by love, even in their deepest sorrow.
I also pray for peace – not just for them, but for all of us.
🕊️ Choosing Humanity Over Hate
Moments like these remind me how important it is to consciously choose kindness.
To stop spreading hate.
To stop feeding anger.
To stop normalising violence.
We don’t always control what happens in the world, but we do control what we carry in our hearts.
I choose compassion.
I choose empathy.
I choose peace.
🌱 Mindfulness in Difficult Times
These two days taught me that mindfulness isn’t always soft or comforting.
Sometimes, it’s painful.
Sometimes, it’s confronting.
But it always brings awareness – and awareness is where change begins.
If even one person chooses love instead of hate, silence instead of violence, understanding instead of judgment – then maybe the world can slowly heal.
✨ Closing Reflection
Day 34 and 35 weren’t easy.
They were quiet, heavy, and reflective.
But they reminded me why this journey matters —
to become calmer, kinder, and more conscious in a world that desperately needs it.
May peace rise above fear.
May love be louder than hate.
May humanity always win. 🤍
