I came across this lovely quote on my Insta feed from thedoodledesk‘s account. And this made me reflect on how things are constantly changing in my life. We all have our ups and downs, days when we are super-motivated and days when we feel low and lost. We are constantly trying to keep up withContinue reading “You are Whole”

Bitter or Better? Your Choice
No one on this planet is spared from getting affected by the actions of others. People impact us, sometimes in a good way and sometimes in a bad way. We get hurt by the words and behaviour of others. Some of us may pretend that no one can get under their skin. But at someContinue reading “Bitter or Better? Your Choice”
One Word Can Make A Difference
Every single word or sentence has the power to move people toward you or away from you. Using the right words can inspire, embrace, acknowledge, intrigue, validate, and include others in a positive way. Words are powerful things. They can uplift and they can burn. They can cause confusion and they can create clarity. WordsContinue reading “One Word Can Make A Difference”
Introspection
We’ve all gone through that phase when people, friends or family, have a change of attitude towards you. Most often we tend to say “it is not my problem!”. S/he has a problem and hence the change in behaviour. When it is the other way around, we may tend to withdraw, switch off, keep tellingContinue reading “Introspection”
Clap for Yourself and Others!
Jealousy is a normal emotion that everyone experiences. If you’re not careful, however, jealousy and envy can grow into resentment and bitterness. And those destructive emotions could lead to a vicious downward spiral. Social media seems to amplify resentment. Spend two minutes scrolling through Facebook or Instagram and it’s easy to become convinced your friendsContinue reading “Clap for Yourself and Others!”
Choosing Hope
This quote by Christopher Reeve is a perfect example of choosing hope rather than giving it up. He didn’t let his accident end his life, he chose to hope that one day he would walk again and he made great strides towards that goal. While he may not have achieved it he still goes downContinue reading “Choosing Hope”
Being the Sunshine
One of my favorite quotes is, “Stay close to the people who feel like sunlight.” I don’t remember when I first read it, but over the past few years, it has taken on a significant importance in my life. I’ve always tried to value quality over quantity. I have a tendency to swiftly and infinitelyContinue reading “Being the Sunshine”
9 Types of Silence
When you choose how to use your silence, you have the opportunity to align with, shift, and possibly transform the thinking of the person you are with. You must consciously choose how you are holding your stillness. Some of the 9 types of silence can hurt your connection with others more than help it. When inContinue reading “9 Types of Silence”
Saying “No” to Create the Space to Say “Yes”
When you ask someone how they are, 95% of the time they will answer with some version of “busy”, “good, but busy” or even, sometimes, “crazy busy”. Busy has become a badge of honour, a signifier of success – a humble brag that sometimes implies we are important and in demand. But if you reallyContinue reading “Saying “No” to Create the Space to Say “Yes””
Fake Friends
We’ve all had that “friend” who makes you feel like the friendship is real but eventually you realise that it is more damaging than good for you. They do not have your interests at heart most of the time and often you will catch yourself faking it around them. If a fake friend finds outContinue reading “Fake Friends”
