She’s on the artistic side of user interface creation for applications, and it’s her role to determine what the product will ultimately look like. She loves her job because it gives her the opportunity to “make ideas a reality.”
“I learn a lot of new things, but I work 9 to 9!” Today she missed her yoga class.
What is one thing that you’d like to change about yourself?
—That question is too hard! I’ve never thought about it before. I can’t think of something good at the moment, maybe just something small. I used to be a really hard-working person. In my company, we’re forced to be very competitive to keep us active and sharp. But I’d like to be less hard-working so I can spend more time on the things I love.
Do you have any good routines?
—Exercise. I do HIIT every day. I do jazz dancing on Fridays with my friends, but on Thursdays I play “Just Dance” on my Switch. So I stay very active. It gives me more energy, and I have to use my mind every day at work. I have to sit at my desk and look at the screen all day. It’s harmful to my neck and back, so I have to de some exercise. It also makes it easier to sleep at night.
In the beginning, how did you build the habit of working out?
—I guess I just told myself I had to do it. So I started saying “alright, I have to do lower body today.” The next day, upper body. Exercising with my friends was the real key to keeping up my routine.
What’s the most difficult part of maintaining this routine?
—My period is coming! I’m too lazy to do anything, I just want to lie in my bed, eat, and sleep.
What advice would you give yourself?
—I should do more anaerobic exercise. I want to make my body stronger. And I’d like to do more stretches, which are a little out of my comfort zone.
What advice would you give someone else who wants to work out?
—Control your carelessness. Don’t eat too many sweet things. At first, it’s going to be difficult to do things well. And the next day, you’re not going to feel very good. But we have to be motivated and give encouragement to ourselves. You don’t have to be in a rush. If you don’t feel good, take a break, and then keep going.
