Happy New Year! Yesterday for me was about lookin Happy New Year!

Yesterday for me was about looking back and reflecting on 2020 - today I spent some time thinking ahead. Here are some of the forward-looking questions guiding me:

*What will you start, do more of; stop, and do less of this year?
*How will you connect more with others in the months and year ahead? 
*Where and how will you get your energy and spark?  
*How are you going to show generosity in these challenging times?
*What’s your word or phrase for 2021?

(Once again inspired by bigcheese coaching.com)

Reflections Exercise!

Well 2020 was a year no Reflections Exercise!

Well 2020 was a year no one could have predicted. I started off with a word I intended for the year, but when I look back, the word that really stands out for me, and defines this year, is Fighter 💪. I surprised myself with how much fight I had in me when it came to advocating for myself (immigration nightmare!) and advocating for others - leaning into more diversity and inclusion / social activism initiatives both at work at Twitter and through my personal life🙏.

I’ve been taking some time today to reflect on things I’ve learned about myself and what’s surprised me.

Here’s some questions to get you started! Would love to hear what you uncover 🙌

* What new parts of yourself did you meet in 2020?
* What of your strengths, skills, and character became more visible to you and maybe even changed your own perception of  yourself and what you are capable of?
* How did you foster resilience?
* What was toughest for you this year? 
* What were the best parts?
* If your present-day self could meet yourself back in the early days of 2020, what advice and words of wisdom would you offer?
* What’s your word/theme for 2020?

So I made my first “travel/fashion” tiktok 😝 (Will figure out reels later)

Was inspired after a magical adventure to obscure ghost town ruins yesterday. Great call @blannaurbana 🙌

2020 was a mess in so many ways but one silver lining is moments with extended family like these and socially-distance jeep excursions 🙏

One of my personal goals was to get out in Nature more. This picture from Yosemite is 1 year old and my Utah nature photos are from Oct 😅

Professionally, I’d love to develop my subject matter expertise in ecommerce / customer experience and also refine my public speaking abilities to be more succinct. Super grateful to have finished a recent series of speaking engagements, including launching a #REALTALK professional development series with @asianleadersalliance interviewing entrepreneurs and investors! 

Swipe for my roundup of community/speaking events this past year: Grateful to @mbuyson for the invitation last week to speak about Fitness and Fundraising, @nicole_dahlstrom for the invitation to talk about FemTech and Policy, @fashioncommunityweek at the beginning of the year to moderate a conversation on Fashion and Sustainability. Also excited to broaden Inclusion and Diversity social impact work with Asian Leaders Alliance!

I am super appreciative of my fitfam community members throughout the years that have pushed and challenged me to do things I didn’t think were possible. I’m posting fitness journey highlights in my stories as the lead up to my virtual speaking and fundraising event with @lift4life_worldwide Dec 13th!

They are a registered charity in the US and non-profit in Canada. Tickets are $15 and goes towards raising funds for a mobile gym. Please consider attending and donating - the goal is $5000 USD 🙌

Last week I learned that re:store in Union Square, San Francisco was closing down permanently :( . I loved going to their store in person to see new direct to consumer brands and try the latest products in beauty and fashion I never would have heard of otherwise! They even had funky labels on products such as “clean beauty, ethically made and women founder”!

This year things look pretty different and small stores need our help more than ever to survive. I learned from the re:store Founder about @Knocknock.TV, a free Covid-19 livestreaming initiative hosting the first Virtual #SaveSmall Holiday Fair this #CyberMonday. You can 'window shop' and there will be incredible surprise LIVE raffle giveaways.  Plus the first 100 shoppers get goodie bags full of mixed freebies <3 RSVP now! https://tinyurl.com/y37mv5so #Covid19 #Knocknock.tv #ShopSmall

Always happy to support small businesses as someone who dabbled in entrepreneurship and hopes to be back in business one day 🙏

Endless picture perfect spots in Zion 😍 Was en Endless picture perfect spots in Zion 😍

Was enjoying riding my bike through the park but this was one of those places where I had to stop! This is just past the Big Bend shuttle stop with the Great White Throne Mesa in the background of the panorama - just lights up in the afternoon ✨.

✅ Tips For Handling Crowds in Outdoor Spaces @l ✅ Tips For Handling Crowds in Outdoor Spaces

@leavenotracecenter, the Centre for Outdoor Ethics published an article on this, even before COVID-19, where now social distancing is even more relevant!

1. Have patience
2. Get up earlier
3. Go farther 
4. Explore outside of iconic areas 
5. Avoid high times of use 

Implemented all these tips for my recent Utah road trip (waking up at 6am, avoiding the busiest hikes, getting intel from people who had gone recently!) . Let’s protect and enjoy our natural world together 🍁

I’m sharing my Zion trip in my stories and one b I’m sharing my Zion trip in my stories and one big tip is to rent bikes for the park because:

1. Shuttle tickets sell out FAST!
2. You have more freedom to stop around the park at your leisure (rather than relying on the shuttle timing and locations)

However! This also means planning for what you bring with you and what you can reasonably carry on a bike. Also we wanted to hike the Narrows (Epic slot canyon river hike) which is at the very back of the park (last shuttle stop) and requires special gear like water boots and poles for the river.

So a few more tips:

1. Bring poles that fit in your bag (good luck riding a bike for hours carrying a wooden walking stick!)
2. Hang the heavy boots on your bike handle since it will be hard to fit in your backpack 
3. Rent a bike early so you can have a head start and to ensure you get a bike (we lined up just before they opened at 7am)

Last thoughts:

It’s pretty much uphill the whole way but that means a BIG pay off at the end when you can coast all the way back after a day of exploring!

Zion Pro Tip ✅ Rent bikes and go at your own pa Zion Pro Tip ✅

Rent bikes and go at your own pace! No cars are allowed in the main park everyone is required to use their park shuttles. I didn’t learn about the shuttle reservation system until the week before though, and by then it was already full! 

This was a blessing in disguise however because we felt much safer and free on our bikes! We biked all the way through the park towards the Narrows hike. I packed hiking poles in our backpack and hung the water shoes on our bike handles 💯

Had this section of the Narrows Hike all to oursel Had this section of the Narrows Hike all to ourselves ☺️
We had to wade through waist deep water to get to this part of the hike where it splits into 2 different canyons.  This is the right fork towards Veiled Falls and there were some tricky boulders to scramble over while navigating little waterfalls! At one point I just stood for a few minutes in front of a pool trying to plan my route and in doing so, convinced another group of hikers to simply turn around 😅

2020 has been a heavy year - with COVID-19, social isolation, racial injustice, and ongoing global uncertainty. After spending months not knowing my immigration status and future in the 🇺🇸, I am finally relaxing a bit, getting out in nature and creating moments to enjoy life. “Focus in what you can control!” 👈 Has been the mantra that keeps me going.

Namaste 🙏 ✨ While it has its origins in Indi Namaste 🙏 ✨

While it has its origins in India, Namaste is now used throughout the world. Many of us have learned it through yoga as we end our classes and thank our teacher.  In Japan, the gesture is "Gassho" and used in similar fashion, typically in prayer and healing practice.

I was part of a @femtechcollective panel discussion last night and we started with a Beautiful guided mediation thanks to @lisarueff of @collective_hearts (Intro from @mooncyclenutrition!) I loved Lisa’s description of Namaste as “seeing the light and love in one another” 💫. She also has created a jewelry line to spread more love with proceeds going towards Black Lives Matter! (Lisa got an amazing letter from Michelle Obama thanking her for the jewelry!!) 🙌

So many amazing women were in the room yesterday and I’m committed to keeping the conversation going around education and advocacy! I shared my experience both with being an ambassador of Femtech Collective in SF and as a Global Chair of Twitter Asians and the importance of intersections❤️
