Life is meant to flow

Life is changing
Every minute
Life is never the same
Its ok to wait and lie a little low

You need to trust nature
To move and shift things
What was lost is gained again
What was your deepest pain
Becomes a point of pleasure.

Change is the only constant
My friend
Move beyond these limitations
Of this now
There is so much more to envision
So much more to accomplish.

Life is meant to flow!

Trust in you

In the darkest hours

Stay strong in spirit

Sense the light within

Trust the light in you

To keep you hopeful

To see the light of dawn.

Awaken

Wake up from slumber

To a brand new start.

Know within you is a power

Waiting to unfold

Let the pathway manifest

To an empowering you.

Evolve as you awaken.

Wisdom of Stars

Every night sky

Infinite stars twinkle

There is wisdom in their light

‘To shine from wherever you are’

Each star emits their own starlight

Without trying to outshine others

Together they fill up the night sky

With the wonders of a starry night.

Live the now

A bloom from my terrace garden

It’s important to evolve for the better

But even more important to enjoy the now as you are…and love yourself too!

Choose to live life lovingly!

Dare to Dream

Dreams are the guiding words of the soul. Why should I henceforth not love my dreams and not make their riddling images into objects of my daily consideration.’

Carl Jung

On Dreams

Dreams have inate wisdom

Of your creative potency

Some dreams are vivid

Colourful almost surreal

Some simply black & white

But every dream connects you

Back to your self

There is much to understand

For what is, is not all.

Build the bridge to discover

There is so much to explore

So much more to dreams.

Dare to dream!

It’s all in you to change.

A story share

A young girl was studying in a school.

She hadn’t been to school for four days because she was not feeling well.

When she went back to school, there were a lot of lessons taught.

To catch up on the lessons, she asked her best friend for her notes.

But her friend refused to give her the notes, saying she had to study them that evening.

Feeling dejected, she couldn’t get the notes copied.

Another girl came to her aid and gave her the notes, helping her out.

The girl was heartbroken that her best friend didn’t help her. She remembered all the times she had given chocolates and colored pencils to her friend.

Reflecting on this, she felt extremely sad and cried, becoming obsessed with the thought.

“Obsessed” means thinking about something repeatedly. She couldn’t stop thinking about her friend not giving her the notes.

She couldn’t eat lunch properly, came home, and sat quietly.

She couldn’t talk properly, watch TV, or laugh. She couldn’t sleep that night, thinking about it all the time. The next day was a school holiday, but she couldn’t enjoy it.

That day, her family went to a park. Her father put her on a swing and started pushing her. The swing went higher and higher, making her happy. She screamed joyfully, asking her dad not to push too hard. Her dad kept pushing, and after half an hour on the swing, she got down and played more games.

She forgot her anger and sadness towards her friend, feeling at peace.

That night, while sleeping, she reflected on the following points:

Point 1: It was wrong of her friend not to give her the notes. Why should she lose her happiness, appetite, and laughter over it?

Point 2: Maybe her friend genuinely needed to study and couldn’t give her the notes.

Point 3: Being angry at her friend made her distance herself from her loving parents.

Point 4: Constantly thinking about anger and irritation towards someone is torturous. It prevents us from doing anything else.

Point 5: Why didn’t she try to forget her anger for even five minutes? She felt excited while on the swing and forgot her anger. Why didn’t she think about getting out of the problem?

Reflecting on these points, she reached a conclusion.

Thinking negatively about anyone all the time will prevent you from being at peace. It drains our energy and makes us unable to enjoy life. Therefore, she decided to stay friendly and cheerful.

She woke up energetically,
greeted her parents,
took a bath and wore her uniform,
ate her breakfast, packed her bag,
and as she stepped out, sunlight shone on her face.

Her face looked brighter and more beautiful in the sunlight.

When our thoughts are good, our actions will be good. When our actions are good, our life will be good.

Grateful

A shift in perspective

In feeling thankfulness

In sensing appreciation

In seeing the glass half full than half empty

In seeing the sunny side of things than as partly cloudy

The way of seeing is a choice in our hands

Natural involuntary effects

An increase in dopomine

Sense of satisfaction

A boost in sertonin

Feeling of positivity

A practice of seeing all things with a positive attitude makes life more meaningful

Gratitude makes us recognize and value things we already have even more. That is how it brings a sense of abundance.

Seeing the positive side, focusing on the good in life journaling regularly and being thankful

Every day a practice of gratitude could include a variety of things that may feel right to you.

And of course you will have unexpected serendipitous moments that you  can’t help feeling grateful for…

Today morning as I stepped to my terrace garden I saw a beautiful squirrel  enjoying the food bowl and water bowl I have placed on the ledge there for birds. I watched with joy and happiness as this little guy munched and munched.

Feeling grateful for a great start my day… Feeling thankful the squirrel is feeding. Hope he is able to feed here every day.

Gratefulnness is a beautiful attitude with lasting effects through the day. Cultivate the attitude of Gratitude.

Lead with empathy

Empathy  & Leadership

Empathic leaders find it easier to understand the challenges of their teams but they also need to be empathic to themselves to avoid burnout and manage their lives.

Stress Management for Leaders

If you are feeling stress beyond a level you can handle as a leader  you need to introspect.

There could be many factors that build up the stress often without your own knowing. It can happen to anyone after all we are only human. And it would be good to acknowledge the importance of work life balance and self care.

Are you biting more than you can chew? To manage work stress as a leader, while delegating work check, if you are delegating tasks with clarity to the team.

Are you approachable and exercising  patience in communication?

Are you checking if they have understood your requirements?

Are your mails, messages and your  attitude,  building people up?

Remember the way you chose to behave rubs off on people. While it’s only human to err  and there could be good & bad days, being  a leader  is a responsiblity. For you have the power to influence and impact lives. 

Likewise your actions  beliefs and behaviour can affect your own health.  Hence managing your own stressors empathically become paramount as a leader to get work done.

Every now and then tweaking your own approach, to the changing needs, being flexible and  adaptable helps you and your team towards reducing  work stress.

On Sharing

A great read today made me contemplate further…

https://www.timesnownews.com/web-stories/lifestyle/things-you-should-always-keep-private-in-life-according-to-psychology/photostory/111782158.cms

How much to share

What to share

When to share

And how to share

Whom to share

What not to share…

These are thought worthy questions.

As a creative writer, I enjoy the juxtaposition of imagination and reality. For life experiences become my muse. But still it is advisable to be savvy when sharing with the world.

A succinct share indeed. Do read.

Life is what you make of it!

The very fact you are reading this

May change your perspective

All of what you interact or sense

Shifts and alters meanings.

You, as a reader & observer

Have the power in you.

You, matter to the whole

What matters to you

Matters to the whole.

Create a beautiful you,

You create a beautiful whole…

Here is why…

The core of particle physics

The truths of sacred geometry

The essence of prayer

The  logics of yogic systems

The dynamics of integration

The beliefs of ancient wisdom.

The cosmic interconnects

Creation to destruction

Birth to regeneration

Order to disorder

Chaos to resurrection

Stillness & movements

Balance & harmony

Time , space & distance

All is a matter of energy.

The observer effects the observed.

All of life, the sun & the stars

The universe you are in

You are because they are

They are because you are.

Understand as an observer

You are playing a part

What you do with it

Is a choice in free will

The choice is with you.
