TRI NURAINI

Last week, I had a small gathering with friends for almost a whole day. We cooked, jammed to music together, and, of course, ate a lot (lol). It was so much fun, and I truly treasure our friendship. Anyway, I brought this stack of cards that I created several years ago, consisting 85 questions mostly big talk questions ~ as in about life. 🙂

We took turns pulling the cards and answered the questions accordingly. It was so fun and insightful. We got to share our reflections and build a deeper connection with each other.

So today, I want to play with you too. Okay, how about answering these questions:

#1 What was the nicest thing someone did for you?

#2 What has life taught you recently?

Now, pause.

Take a moment to reflect on the questions, and really think about it..

Here’s my answer..

#1 What was the nicest thing someone did for you?

Pokemon ball

Last Hari Raya Idul Fitri, my 10-year-old nephew Dito bought me a Pokemon ball with Psyduck in it. He bought it with all of his “angpao” money.

The story behind was so moving. In Ramadhan, I took my nephews to Kids Station at the mall. They were so happy, as they wanted to buy their favorite Pokemon cards, and some toys. I was looking at one of the the shelf and saw this fun Pokemon ball in it, and Dito caught me. I told him I really like Psyduck, the character is so cute and his power is incredible (which only manifest when he is in stress lol).

Dito looked at me and said, “Aunty, I will buy you this Lebaran (Hari Raya) Hari Raya with my money”. Of course I said no, but he insisted.

And he did exactly what he said, he bought me one as soon as he collected money in Hari Raya. Even his mom said he didn’t buy anything for his self.

I was like… 🥹 I’m not crying, you’re crying. Oh, I love him so much.

#2 What has life taught you recently?

My inner peace is (almost) irrelevant to my external world.

I used to think that everything that happens around me determines how I feel inside. But now, I realize that this may not be quite relevant anymore.

If I have to be honest, I’m still “struggling” in some areas of my life. Life happens. For one, growing my coaching business can be difficult and challenging at times. In the past, this has caused me a great deal of anxiety. But now, I feel very different.

I realized I can choose to turn inwards and give myself space to process my experience. Understanding that my external world doesn’t have to dictate what I feel inside. I can still feel very peaceful regardless of what happen in the outside.

As Michael Neil, a best-selling author and coach, said, it’s not about the experience of things, but more about how we experience things.

Of course, sometimes I still feel down or sad, but I get back up quite easily. I can stay in the present moment, knowing that things will unfold beautifully as they are supposed to be. And the present moment is good. 🙂

Life is beautiful as it is.

So, how about you?

If you feel called, share with me your answer. I’d be happy to read each one of them.

I love playing with questions. It really gives me time and space to pause and reflect on my life. No wonder I really enjoy my profession as a coach. I ask powerful questions to my clients and help them find the answers within. As a result, they can take actions that are aligned with their true selves. It’s very empowering.

Have a heartfelt week ❤️
Coach Inuk
