الرجاء مساعدتي بالعودة

Spending the day with Mas Andri at his high school reunion brought back a flood of memories from my own school days. Looking back at this picture from those times, two things stand out: my instant hijab (been rocking them since 2002) and my love for a good watch. Some things never change.

This week, I had the privilege of participating in three impactful events within the Indonesian education sector. Each experience provided valuable insights and opportunities for growth:

Guidance and Counseling Community of Banten Seminar: The seminar focused on the evolving role of guidance counselors in addressing student challenges and supporting their well-being in the contemporary era. Discussions highlighted new strategies and fostered a spirit of collaboration among fellow counselors. #pdabkinbanten

National Seminar at FIP UNJ 2024: This seminar delved into the implementation and implications of "Merdeka Belajar" (Freedom to Learn) within the framework of Indonesia's national education system. Attending this event provided me with a deeper understanding of this important educational initiative. #fipunj

Great Teacher as a Coach for Guidance and Counselor Teacher: This seminar focused on equipping educators with the skills and strategies to effectively coach their students, fostering a more empowering learning environment. The event highlighted current educational trends and the evolving role of educators in Indonesia. #esq #GreatTeacherAsACoach

Pakde: Bude doesn't like games. Bude likes to study.

They may not be the smoothest hands, these hands that raised me. Time has etched lines upon their surface, a map of years spent guiding me through life's twists and turns. They've held scraped knees and nervous butterflies, wiped away tears of frustration and celebrated triumphs big and small.

These hands, once strong and steady, now carry the gentle weight of experience. They may not be able to scoop me up anymore, but their warmth remains, a silent reassurance of a love that has always been there.

I remember the countless times these hands built me up, literally and figuratively. From constructing Lego castles to holding me aloft to reach that coveted book on the shelf, they instilled in me a sense of possibility. They taught me that with hard work and a little help, anything could be achieved.

These weathered hands have also known the sting of sacrifice. They've toiled relentlessly, ensuring a roof over my head and food on the table. Their silent language spoke volumes about the depth of their love, a love that never asked for anything in return.

Today, as I navigate my own path, the lessons etched in the lines of these hands continue to guide me. They are a constant reminder of the unwavering support, the unwavering love, and the unwavering belief that made me who I am.

So, to the hands that raised me, thank you. Thank you for your strength, your tenderness, and your unwavering presence. They may be worn, but the warmth they carry will forever be my guiding light.

Pagi yang Ceria, Memulai Petualangan Kecil

Keceriaan menyapa pagi hari ini, diiringi semilir angin sepoi-sepoi yang membelai wajah. Rangga sudah siap dengan motornya, menanti untuk mengantarkan saya ke Citra Raya. Hari ini, kami akan menghadiri pernikahan alumni ICM.

Perjalanan kami di atas motor bukan sekadar melaju di jalanan. Percakapan hangat dan tawa lepas mewarnai perjalanan. Bagi saya, momen ini adalah sebuah petualangan kecil yang penuh makna.

Menyaksikan Kebahagiaan di Citra Raya

Setibanya di Citra Raya, kami disambut suasana bahagia di acara pernikahan. Sukacita dan kehangatan terpancar dari wajah para tamu, termasuk saya dan Rangga. Di tengah kesibukan sehari-hari, momen seperti ini adalah pengingat indah bahwa kebahagiaan bisa selalu datang dari hal-hal sederhana namun berarti.

Berbagi Dukacita di Balaraja

Selepas dari acara pernikahan, kami bertolak ke Balaraja untuk melayat ayah sahabat kerja saya. Rasa duka menyelimuti hati kami, namun diiringi rasa syukur atas kesempatan untuk menguatkan sahabat kerja saya. Peristiwa ini menjadi pengingat bahwa kebahagiaan dan kesedihan adalah dua sisi mata uang kehidupan yang selalu berputar.

Menikmati Kesederhanaan di Alun-alun

Untuk menjaga stamina sebelum field trip besok, saya memilih untuk kembali ke Kota Tangerang dan berjalan kaki di alun-alun bersama Rangga. Di bawah langit senja yang jingga, kami saling berbagi cerita, menikmati momen sederhana yang penuh makna.

Menemukan Kebahagiaan dalam Kesederhanaan

Bagi saya, akhir pekan ini adalah sebuah petualangan penuh inspirasi. Naik motor bersama Rangga, menghadiri pernikahan, dan melayat, semua pengalaman ini membuka mata saya bahwa kebahagiaan bisa ditemukan di mana saja. Kebahagiaan bisa ditemukan dalam momen-momen sederhana, dalam kebersamaan dengan orang-orang tersayang, dan dalam kesempatan untuk berbagi suka dan duka.

Setiap momen dalam hidup memiliki maknanya sendiri, dan kita semua harus siap untuk menjalani setiap fase dengan lapang dada. Kebahagiaan dan kesedihan adalah dua sisi mata uang kehidupan yang selalu berputar, dan kita harus belajar untuk menerimanya dengan penuh syukur.

Professor Richard Wiseman, a psychology researcher, spills the tea on luck in his book "The Luck Factor." Turns out, luck isn't just random chance.

Here's the lowdown: our actions and mindset can actually influence how lucky we feel. Professor Wiseman breaks it down into 4 easy-peasy tips to become a luck magnet:

Open Your Eyes to Opportunities: Lucky folks are like sponges, soaking up new experiences. Instead of snoozing through life, they explore, say "yes" to adventures, and step outside their comfort zones. This means more chances for awesome surprises.

Dodge the Bad Luck Bullseye: We can't avoid every mishap, but we can be a ninja about it. Learn from past stumbles and keep an eye out for potential problems so you can be ready. Being aware of your surroundings and taking precautions helps minimize bad luck's power.

Think Positive, Attract Positive: Buckle up, because optimism is like a good luck charm. When you believe in good things happening, you're more likely to spot opportunities and bounce back from setbacks. Imagine yourself crushing your goals and appreciate the good stuff in your life.

Trust Your Gut: That feeling in your tummy? It might be your intuition trying to tell you something. While not a magic 8-ball, your gut can offer some seriously helpful insights. Pay attention to your hunches and act on them if they feel right. But remember, always use your brain too for the best decisions.

Best Mom Ever (Even Though I Don't Have Kids)

Forget "Best Mom" mugs – I'm rocking the title without any kids of my own. Sure, being a mom usually means you gave birth, but for me, it's about something way cooler: being an awesome aunt and a supportive teacher.

My nieces and nephew? They're my little rockstars. We have endless giggle fits over silly jokes. They teach me patience (lots of patience!), the power of unconditional love, and how to see the world with wide-eyed wonder again. Plus, who can resist those adorable hugs?

My students are another kind of awesome squad. The classroom becomes our temporary hangout, where I get to fuel their curiosity and cheer them on in their learning adventures. Seeing their lightbulb moments, celebrating good grades, and being there when things get tough – that's what makes it special. I'm like a (hopefully) cool adult who helps them navigate this chalenging world.

Of course, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. There are meltdowns, disagreements, and moments where I want to tear my hair out. But even then, the love and responsibility I feel for these amazing humans is real. It's about teaching them life lessons, building their confidence, and celebrating their unique awesomeness.

The love I share with them isn't any less powerful than a biological mom's. It might be a different kind of love, but it fills my life with joy and purpose. It reminds me that motherhood comes in all shapes and sizes, and the ability to nurture, guide, and love unconditionally is a superpower.

Life can get hectic, a whirlwind it seems, The "where we are now" might not be our dreams. But listen up close, what Jonathan Sundy did preach, "Fears and excuses can't hold you from reach!"

One way to find purpose, a path to ignite, Is nurturing bonds, making family time right. Quality moments, more precious than gold, Aren't just for amusement, a story untold.

Stronger connections, with laughter and chat, Understanding each other, where we're truly at. Supporting ambitions, like a comforting hand, No matter the future, where dreams take a stand.

From wisdom imparted and lessons we glean, Family's a garden where growth can convene. So don't let the "here" stop your journey's sweet rhyme, Make time for your loved ones, one precious at a time.

Hey everyone.

The English Speaking Group CC session this week was fantastic. The theme, "My City, My Adventure," sparked a journey of discovery, not just for the breathtaking cities in the "30 Most Beautiful Cities in the World" video, but also for the hidden gems within my own city, Tangerang.

Tangerang's culinary scene is a treasure trove waiting to be explored. One hidden gem I love is Kecap Benteng SH, a soy sauce with a rich and flavorful history. The fresh ingredients create an explosion of taste, a true testament to the deliciousness Tangerang has to offer.

Fun fact: While my ID says Kota Tangerang Selatan, I've had the privilege of living in Kota Tangerang and working as a teacher in Kabupaten Tangerang. This diverse experience has woven a unique tapestry of knowledge about my city's rich past and vibrant present.

The video ignited a travel itch, showcasing the beauty of exotic destinations like Cartagena and Luang Prabang. Then, during our discussions, we shared our own experiences. As a teacher, I expressed my gratitude for the group's supportive learning environment, my appreciation for helpful feedback that fuels growth, and the constant thrill of new challenges – these are the joys that make teaching so rewarding, right?

The fun Quizizz quiz kept our brains buzzing with knowledge, and in breakout room 3 (shoutout!), I met some amazing people: Kak Afidah Nurul, Kak Annisa Nurhidayati, Kak Fatimah Mursyidah, Kak Hendra Yoga, Kak Octavia Wulansari, and Kak Syifa Akmalia. We had a fascinating conversation about our cities, and I shared intriguing facts about Tangerang, from the bustling Soekarno-Hatta International Airport to the culinary delights of Pasar Lama, the historical significance of Kota Benteng, and the local pride of Persita Tangerang Football Club.

The session was a whirlwind of learning, laughter, and connection. If you're looking to practice English, have some fun, and meet inspiring people, English Speaking Group CC is the place to be. It's an amazing way to explore not just the world, but also the hidden treasures within ourselves and our communities.

"I am grateful for the ability to feel compassion. I am grateful for the compassionate and merciful nature of Allah SWT reflected in 'Ar-Rahman' and 'Ar-Rahim.' This gives me the ability to feel and give compassion to others, which increases my happiness and well-being."

"I am grateful for hope and optimism. Starting every activity with 'Bismillah' instills hope and optimism in me. I am grateful because this helps me face challenges with more courage and perseverance."

"I am grateful for inner peace and a sense of security. Remembering the compassion of Allah SWT through 'Bismillah' gives me inner peace and a sense of security. I am grateful because this helps me reduce stress and anxiety, so that I can live my life more peacefully."

"I am grateful for the opportunity to grow and develop. Every time I say 'Bismillah,' I am reminded to be a better person. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn, improve myself, and contribute positively to my surroundings."

🍀Tadabbur Ayat Pilihan🍀 Surat : Alfatihah Ayat :1 Terjemahan ayat : "Dengan menyebut nama Allah Yang Maha Pengasih, Maha Penyayang."

Refleksi: Ayat pembuka dalam surat Al-Fatihah ini, "Bismillahirrahmaanirohim," mengandung makna yang dalam yang dapat dikaitkan dengan berbagai bidang ilmu, termasuk psikologi.

Memulai dengan Rasa Syukur dan Harapan:

Mengucapkan "Bismillah" sebelum memulai apapun merupakan ajakan untuk memulai dengan kesadaran akan kehadiran Allah SWT. Hal ini dapat memicu rasa syukur atas segala anugerah yang dimiliki, sekaligus harapan kepada-Nya agar segala aktivitas dilancarkan dan diberi keberkahan. Dalam psikologi, rasa syukur terbukti meningkatkan kebahagiaan dan optimisme, sedangkan harapan menjadi motivator untuk mencapai tujuan.

Menyadari Kekuatan Kasih Sayang:

Mengagungkan sifat Allah SWT yang Maha Pengasih dan Maha Penyayang (Ar-Rahman dan Ar-Rahim) mengingatkan kita akan pentingnya kasih sayang dalam kehidupan. Kasih sayang dapat meningkatkan rasa aman, mengurangi stres, dan membangun hubungan positif dengan orang lain. Penelitian psikologi menunjukkan bahwa individu yang menerima dan memberikan kasih sayang cenderung memiliki kesehatan mental yang lebih baik.

Menemukan Ketenangan dan Kepercayaan Diri:

Mengingat kasih sayang Allah SWT dapat menjadi sumber ketenangan batin dan kepercayaan diri. Ketika seseorang merasa dipedulikan dan didukung oleh kekuatan yang lebih besar, ia akan lebih mampu menghadapi tantangan hidup. Rasa percaya diri yang positif sangat membantu individu untuk berkembang dan meraih potensi dirinya.

Membangun Relasi yang Positif:

Sifat pengasih dan penyayang Allah SWT menjadi teladan bagi umat manusia dalam berinteraksi dengan sesama. Ayat ini mendorong kita untuk mengembangkan sikap empati, kasih sayang, dan kebaikan terhadap orang lain. Hubungan sosial yang positif merupakan faktor penting dalam menjaga kesehatan mental dan kebahagiaan individu.

Mengurangi Ego dan Ketakutan:

Menyadari kemahapengasihan dan keagungan Allah SWT dapat membantu mengurangi ego dan rasa takut berlebihan. Ego yang tinggi seringkali menjadi sumber konflik dan permusuhan, sedangkan rasa takut yang berlebihan dapat melumpuhkan seseorang untuk bertindak. Dengan merendahkan diri di hadapan Allah SWT, individu dapat mengembangkan kerendahan hati dan keberanian yang sehat.

🌼Aku bersyukur :

Grateful for the journey: At 37, I'm thankful for the experiences and lessons learned along the way, shaping me into who I am today.

Appreciative of resilience: I'm grateful for the resilience I've developed, allowing me to overcome challenges and grow stronger with each passing year.

Thankful for supportive relationships: At this age, I cherish the love and support of family and friends, whose presence enriches my life and brings joy to my days.

Gratitude for personal growth: I appreciate the opportunities for personal development, as each year offers new insights, wisdom, and opportunities for growth.

Thankful for life's blessings: At 37, I'm grateful for the simple joys of everyday life, the ability to pursue my passions, and the excitement of what the future holds.

🍀Tadabbur Ayat Pilihan🍀 Surat :Surat Al-Imran Ayat :14 Terjemahan ayat :"Dijadikan indah pada pandangan manusia cinta kepada apa-apa yang diinginkan, yaitu: wanita-wanita, anak-anak, harta yang banyak dari jenis emas, perak, kuda pilihan, binatang ternak dan sawah ladang. Itulah kesenangan hidup di dunia; dan di sisi Allah-lah tempat kembali yang baik." Refleksi :Surat Al-Imran ayat 14 menyampaikan pesan tentang fitrah manusia yang cenderung tertarik pada berbagai hal duniawi, termasuk harta seperti emas dan perak. Dari sudut pandang psikologi dan kesehatan mental, pada usia 40 tahun, seseorang mungkin telah mengalami berbagai pengalaman hidup yang membentuk persepsinya terhadap kekayaan dan materi.

Pandangan Psikologis: Pada usia 40 tahun, seseorang mungkin telah menyadari bahwa kebahagiaan sejati tidak hanya tergantung pada harta dan kekayaan materi. Konsep ini sejalan dengan teori psikologi, seperti hierarki kebutuhan Abraham Maslow, yang menyatakan bahwa setelah kebutuhan fisik dan keamanan terpenuhi, individu cenderung mencari pemenuhan kebutuhan sosial, penghargaan, dan aktualisasi diri.

Kesehatan Mental: Pada titik ini dalam perjalanan hidup, seseorang mungkin mulai mengevaluasi nilai-nilai yang sebenarnya penting bagi kebahagiaan dan kesejahteraan mereka. Menyadari bahwa kekayaan materi tidak selalu membawa kepuasan dan kedamaian batin, seseorang dapat mulai menekankan pentingnya hubungan yang bermakna, kedamaian dalam diri, dan pencapaian yang memberikan rasa pencapaian yang sejati.

🌼Aku bersyukur : "Today, I am grateful for the warmth of the morning sun that brightens my day."

"I am thankful for the delicious meal I enjoyed with loved ones, filling my heart and nourishing my body."

"I appreciate the laughter and smiles shared with friends, bringing joy and lightness to my life."

"Today, I give thanks for the kindness of strangers, reminding me of the goodness in the world."

🍀Tadabbur Ayat Pilihan🍀 Surat : Al Qasas Ayat :73 Terjemahan ayat :"Dan adalah karena rahmat-Nya, Dia jadikan untukmu malam dan siang, agar kamu beristirahat pada malam hari dan agar kamu mencari sebagian karunia-Nya (pada siang hari) dan agar kamu bersyukur kepada-Nya.

Refleksi :Istirahat Fisik: Malam yang Allah ciptakan sebagai waktu istirahat pada ayat tersebut menyoroti pentingnya istirahat fisik untuk memulihkan tubuh dari kelelahan. Istirahat fisik yang cukup diperlukan untuk memperbaiki kerusakan jaringan, mengisi ulang energi, dan memulihkan kesehatan tubuh secara keseluruhan.

Istirahat Mental: Selain memberi waktu untuk istirahat fisik, malam juga merupakan waktu untuk istirahat mental. Saat tubuh istirahat, pikiran juga memiliki kesempatan untuk bersantai dan memulihkan energi mental dari aktivitas sehari-hari.

Istirahat Sosial: Meskipun tidak secara langsung disebutkan dalam ayat tersebut, konsep istirahat sosial dapat dihubungkan dengan waktu malam sebagai waktu untuk beristirahat bersama keluarga atau teman-teman, membangun hubungan sosial yang kuat dan mengisi kebutuhan akan interaksi sosial.

Istirahat Emosional: Istirahat pada malam juga dapat menjadi waktu untuk mengatur dan memulihkan keseimbangan emosional. Melalui refleksi, meditasi, atau doa, seseorang dapat mengelola emosi dan menemukan kedamaian dalam diri mereka.

Istirahat Spiritual: Malam juga dapat digunakan sebagai waktu untuk beristirahat secara spiritual, dengan melakukan ibadah, refleksi atas ajaran agama, dan meningkatkan kesadaran diri akan hubungan dengan Sang Pencipta.

Istirahat Kreatif: Waktu malam dapat menjadi momen bagi seseorang untuk beristirahat dari rutinitas sehari-hari dan mengaktifkan kreativitas mereka. Dalam ketenangan malam, seseorang bisa mengekspresikan diri melalui seni, menulis, atau aktivitas kreatif lainnya.

Istirahat Sensorik: Malam juga memberikan kesempatan untuk beristirahat dari rangsangan sensorik yang terus-menerus dari lingkungan sekitar. Dengan meredakan stimulasi visual, auditif, dan sensorik lainnya, seseorang dapat mengurangi stres dan meningkatkan kualitas istirahat mereka.
