Listening To Your Younger Self

Today, my friend talked about seeking the wisdom of your younger self, starting from 5 years old, up to your current age, in increment of 5 years. I thought he was referring to imagining what my younger self would say, but he wasn’t referring to that. It is to listen to your younger self “speak” to you.

WEEK 3 Theme: Listening to Your Younger Self

Reawakening isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about remember who you were – before fear learned to speak louder than your faith, or setbacks kept you from moving forward, or tragedies broke your heart.

It is not about fixing your past. It’s about letting the past speak life into your present.

Weekly Intention:

Sit down in a quiet place and allocate a time where you won’t be disturbed or distracted. Ask yourself this question:

Imagine I am 5 years old, and knowing what I know now, what would my younger self share with me? (Do this for the next 5 years – 10 years old, 15 years old, 20 years old, etc)

After this reflection, very importantly, you must say this to yourself:

Thank you for serving me. I can now take it from here.

Do not judge or beat yourself up. Do not allow shame or guilt to overwhelm you. Do not scold your younger self.

Be compassionate. Be kind. Be forgiving.

Honour yourself and be proud of how far you’ve come. Appreciate and thank yourself for the person you are today. Do not be ashamed of your battle scars, because those scars are evidence of the battles you have fought and won. Do not be ashamed of your brokenness, because they show how God has saved you and made you whole again.

God can use the wisdom of your younger self to transform you – to remind you of His grace, mercy and compassion. Whether you see it or not, God has redeemed, restored and protected you in miraculous ways.

Remember: you are God’s masterpiece.

Weekly Reflection Question:

If you feel stuck or restless, then listening to the wisdom of your younger self might bring invaluable insights. Seek the truth from your younger selves – to claim their wisdom and to transform your life today.

Question: What truth from my younger self am I ready to claim?

Wake Up from Distraction and Be Present

Last week, I revamped the CREATE framework from my Intentional Living series. This week, I simplified this framework to just 3 steps – REAWAKEN – RESTORE – RESPOND. I realize that transformation does not happen by doing more, but by paying attention (REAWAKEN), healing deeply (RESTORE), and obeying faithfully (RESPOND).

A new year of 2026 has begun, but many of us are still asleep in our spiritual slumber. The noise and distractions from the world has a way of numbing our spiritual awareness, keeping us in an autopilot of busyness and daily grind.

WEEK 1 Theme – Waking Up From Distraction and Be Present

But before we start the journey, let us reflect back:

  • What were the three biggest distractions last year, that is pulling you away from God’s presence?
  • What are the three things from last year that you are ready to release this year?

Intention Living beings with your ATTENTION.

Weekly Intention (Choose One):

Let us start this adventure by paying attention:

  • Be present and put your phone away when you are with your family and friends, especially during meal times and festive seasons
  • Be bored and look around you – cut down the non-stop social media scrolling and train yourself to be bored – then maybe, just maybe, you will be aware at the strange and beautiful world and people around you
  • Be imaginative – dare to dream again and actively pursue whatever you can imagine, or ask silly questions like a small child and come up with crazy answers for yourself (let’s see how imaginative you can be!)

Weekly Reflection Question:

As we start a new year, let us forgo the New Year’s Resolutions, and lists of annual goals for the year, but take a deep dive on the transformation you want for yourself this year.

As yourself the question: who do you want to become this year? Visualise a “transformed you” at the end of the year – with great clarity, excited emotion and in full detail.

Question: “What is God inviting me to do—and who is He inviting me to become?”
