Sit back and Relax!

How do I know my schedule for the day? Planner? To-do lists? Calendar activities? All of these are useful for me. Ever since I was in college, I already have a tough and tight schedule for a week. I’m a type of person who know what’s my schedule for the weeks ahead. It’s in my body system. Doing planners or to-do lists give me relaxation. Crossing out things I’ve done gives me fulfillment. It encourages me to do, to learn, or to work more.

What I’ve learned is that managing time and organizing files are the key for a smooth sailing work. These help me a lot to really balance everything with my work. Also, I always start to do and finish difficult jobs first. This is to help me realize I can do great with less prioritize jobs. I am an accountant. Busy season starts in January and runs through the end of April. Whether you work in public accounting or commerce and industry, it’s crucial to develop ways that give you enough time to take care of your loved ones, and yourself. 

So, I need to relax and have time with God and with my family. This is for me my meditation. Meditation for me is having time for myself. 

Balancing work and family life has been an issue in the accounting profession, especially public accountants. Job burnout strikes due to physical and emotional exhaustion. To avoid this, I control my time, and work for a purpose, not just to reach deadlines. Entering MBA studies is one of biggest challenge for me at the moment. But for me, this is my work-life balance. I should also give time for my personal and professional growth.

Family is important. I am an only child, but my parents never treated me as a spoiled brat getting all the things I want. Yes, they are strict and protective but it helped me grow as a responsible and independent woman. Family are whom I love the most.

God is my ultimate source of strength. I attend worship services in our church. I am also a choir member. I made a pledge and devote myself to Him. I won’t let my love for God grow cold. Sometimes I feel like it’s not going the way I want and it makes me want to breakdown. But, I know God is there to guide me to His plan for me. I always ask God for forgiveness, guidance, strength, and love for others.

I find time for pleasure. Pleasure is not just a three-days’ vacation leave. I can do a five minutes’ pleasure by just resting my mind, eating chocolates, playing my favorite mobile games, or even a full belly laugh rejuvenates me. Spending time with my family, attending church activities and worship services, and giving myself a personal time are always in my Sunday schedule. For me, it’s always been a happy feeling whenever I have fulfilled my duties and obligations in our church. That’s why it has never been a burden managing my time. Sunday is my re-energizing day in my life. I spend more time with the people who stimulate and inspire me to be the best person I can be.

Life is not stressful. We have lots of priorities but time has never been an issue. There is always time for everything. I make time for it.

Complete!

As I said in my introduction, it was my first time to know the meaning of integrality. Integrality is being complete as a person. I think if there is an aspect of our lives that is not well nourished, we shouldn’t be bothered to feel incomplete. Because wholeness comes within. It is how we accept things. If only we accept things, we will not feel incomplete. What I’ve learned in this course was to value oneself. I have learned the importance of relaxation or meditation. Health is wealth. It is important that we shouldn’t live a stressful life. We should always think positive whenever circumstances and situations come unexpectedly. I have also realized the importance of the workplace in an individual. It is five times a week a person comes into the office. Every management should take care of its people. Business leaders should be more aware that common good starts from within. They need to ensure there workforce should be treated justly. At the end of the day, it is the happi...

Introduction

Observation and Experience:          It’s a brand new semester and I’ve always been motivated and excited to learn new things and go beyond my comfort zone. It is already expected that this class will contain 9 students because of the online platform to view the number of enrollees. I choose this elective class because I’m available on a Saturday morning class. I had an idea that from the subject name itself, it is for the human development of the employees in the organization. However, having integrality, is something to learn and think about.          I have learned that integral human development promotes the good of every person and the whole person. “Development cannot be limited to mere economic growth alone. In order to be authentic, it must be complete: integral, that is, it has to promote the good of every person and of the whole person." (Populorum Progressio, Pope Pau...
