Be an encourager

On Coaches & Coaching

At times just when a coach knows it’s progress the client wants to give up.

They may feel the changes are not enough or there may be other personal factors that may be inhibiting their success. It is important to acknowledge their emotions at the moment and celebrate small wins precisely showing how far they have come. As a coach  being empathic & encouraging while being flexible and adaptable as you adjust strategies for the way forward aids and facilitates progress.

Often clients face doubt and overwhelm at some point or the other. It is important then to remind them of their why and guide them to stay on course.

Your thoughts are welcome.

To emote is to heal

Sit down with your feelings

Like a good friend

Listen to it to understand

What it conveys to you

It works out for you.

Your emotions are not your enemy

They are your vent

They are your support systems

For the body to feel at ease

Be a good friend to you

And your emotions will thank you

As you thank them.

The Zen Way

Calm eyes and ears
Resting and recovering
From relentless chaos
Blowing in the wind.


Seeing only a trickle
Of light and sounds
Of nature in harmony
To energize in hope
Once more.

When there is authentic effort

When the intentions are expansive

And the purpose stronger together

In the journey of life

Dreams take roots to realize itself.

Seeds to trees

Trees to forest

Barren lands turn fertile greens

Salute to this inspiring couple who created a forest out of barren land.

Together they have planted more than 2000 trees… Do read more…

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.

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.

On Peace

Wherever you are,
Wherever you go
Be a messenger of peace
Sense the hope that peace brings
In its wake, life regenerates.

Unshackling

Evolution happens in the changes that are a precussor to transformation.

A conscious unshackling of patterns of thought brings forth new and diverse ways of thinking. Every now and then a diversity acknowledges new associations and breeds creativity.

A deliberate action that reaches out far and wide to step out of conventional thought patterns is never easy especially as most often humans like to feel safe and secure in comfort of knowing of a stability.

Change can be unsettling and startling for most…

To accept and acclamatize in the new shifts.

As humans much of our creativity is often boxed in association of concepts and experiences and their correlation.

To creates new spaces for light is to step up in the gamut of creativity there need to be, a dare into the unknown that explores dimensions beyond.

Are you ready for the unshackling?

Sustain yourself

How much of you do you give in any relationship?

Today I am sharing a thought Provoker. This came as a social media forward. But it was thought worthy and I do have a few questions as well.

Speaking of relationships, have you felt drained out beyond compare?

Instead of feeling energetic after an interaction or a conversation, have you felt like when will it end?

When was the last time you felt a little too empty?

Do you stop giving, if you feel it is an unequal relationship and you feel pulled from all directions or due to habit or situation you continue to give as you do?

If you are a giver by nature, can you actually stop yourself at all?

It’s truly important to acknowledge your emotions and feelings. It helps to know your energy shifts.

A Stringed Existence

There is a lot of inextricable strings of emotions linked to relationships but if you are constantly feeling drained out and exhausted when with certain people, perhaps you need to check if you have over invested yourself. Be it in career as a workaholic or in family where your sense of self is feeling lost.

You have one life & it is your life…

Pause and take a breather and set yourself back on course.

While there are many kinds of people you meet. And it is really OK to be extra helpful, and give the best you can. In fact it energizes abundance to manifest in life… For when you give from a spring well of kindness, nature sets in motion, a share of kindness back to you in its own time.

Yet like many are energy givers, there are many energy takers. Often unknown to themselves they behave in a way that saps anothers energy when they are around you.

Do remember who ever you are with… Giving more or less will not have value. For less is not fulfilling and more is just excess and will never be utilised. But will certainly tilt your balance for sure.

In your actions too, exercise this wisdom and you will find yourself in a good space.

And most of all…

Choose your tribe well. It makes all the difference.

On life & living

Let go three things to have a life well lived

Let go pressure to prove it to yourself..
Know it wreaks havoc. Trust yourself to deliver your very best.

Let go expectations that others have on you
Know you can never satisfy everyone. And demands will never end

Let go guilt trips into the past. A river never flows back It is meant to course through. Take the learning and move on.

Reminiscing and brooding, of what was or  what could be or what any one did or said changes nothing.

Learn to treat yourself kindly
You have one life. Live it well
You owe it to no one but you.

On Adaptability

Any technological l advancement calls for updating of skills and most of all adaptability.

Adaptability of any new technology calls for embracing change and developments in both actions & attitude…


For adaptability calls for new
learnings with the curiousity of an optimist.
A willingness to uncover the new.
to acknowledge with enthusiasm
In exploration and discovery
Of the potential possibilities.
And the acceptance of errors & misses inspite of the best efforts
& most of all a relentless
development of resilience
to bounce back on the path.

Do share your thoughts and insights on Adaptability.

Dream on

Dare to imagine

Your dreams

As the speak to you

Paint on the blank canvas

From the colours on your pallete

Surrender to the arising flow

Taking your cue as the hand moves

On the canvas, homing you in…

Dream on and dare to manifest.

Nature

Nature is magnificence
Teaching great lessons in humility.
Nature is amazing grace
As she holds within
The truths of the universe
The secret of the stars
As well as the sounds of silence
She is a dance in the stillness
Nature is flow and flow is nature Nature is life. And life flows…
