If you ever find yourself belittled, unable to express yourself because you are stifled;
Remember…not to shrink.
Trust in your self.
Know there is always a space for you that allows you to grow and evolve
You and your presence matters.
Find your space.

In this now I inhale peace
In this now I exhale love
In this now I sense calm
In this now I share a smile.
In this now what I can do
Matters than, then & later
For it sets the course ahead
Aligning past with present.
In this now lives potential
In this now, is the power of choice
In every now that is…
Choose well.

Resilience is developed in time.
In every fall.
In every blow
In every painful experience.
The power rests with you to work on yourself.
Resilience is about nurturing what is beautiful within you,no matter, while battling the situation at hand.
Resilience is the art of appreacting the ordinary moments that you have with you.
Resilience is being able to smile from the heart, knowing your circumstances dont define you.
In your deepest breakdown there is a choice to emerge from it stronger.
While resilience is in learning from experiences and strengthening & refining the self for the better. Resilience is also about allowing life to happen…
Bending when necessary like a blade of grass without breaking like the mighty oak tree,
Resilience is creating yourself in such times without fear of the inevitable, for change is part of the flow of life.
Resilience means, you are very much present and it means you are evolving from your experiences for the better.
In times of being resilience
You become the master of your life.
You steer on in faith
no matter the rudder is way off.
Knowing you are meant to be, do all that you are ordained to.
Yet resilience m is not blind faith but a faith born out of inner self belief. In knowing that the road is yet to clear, you are ready for possibilities using the time to see options and new perspectives
You are like an artist creating something from what seems to be blank and formless. Yet resilience is full of potential.And in exercising this muscle of resilience results are awaiting you in trust & time.
Trust that this very resilience is in you and in me and it surfaces in our difficulties to tide us through in time.
What is resilience to you?
When did you last feel your need to exercise your resilience?
Do share your thoughts how you create and develop your resilience muscle.

You are not defined
By riches or possessions.
You are defined
By the attitude you carry.
Anchored in faith
No matter the storm.
You are defined
By the energy you emanate…
In the choices you make,
In the decisions you take.
Way beyond circumstances.
It is a quality of the spirit.
Greater the refinement,
Greater the grace.

A question in reflection…
When the world outside gets chaotic, what is that within you that keeps you anchored?
Clear lines
Not walls that break
But gates that define
Your edges in space
And anothers beginnings.
Setting a boundary
Creates safety & value
And is respectful to one another.
Be it your time & energy
Or for mental stability
Protecting personal space
Creates a sense of peace.
Truth is relationships are healthier in the long run with clear lines that protect your own unique sense of space, privacy & comfort levels.
In professional relationships often the fear of conflicts, or being misunderstood as unempathetic, can make people skip setting them early on only to find themselves challenged.
Actually, setting healthy boundaries is an act of clarity…
What do you think?
Savvy
How are you in this moment ?
Are you ok?
Every once in a while
Just ask yourself these simple questions.
And let yourself answer
As the thoughts flow
Jot them down
There is much healing
In the journaling of thoughts
In expressing your feelings
On paper or to another
In simply voicing it out
Giving a path to let the steam off.
Build yourself up with care
Connect with a deeper breath
And listen keen as you exhale.
As you externalize, you create space
And understand yourself more.
Savvy
Our body is a field of energy
Feed it well
Move with the energy
Make a choice
Eat with joy
With a purpose
To be aligned
To your best self.
Tune in to trust your being
And you will find yourself
Living in rhythm.
Savvy
So many masters with ideas…
Many motivating words around
On how to ace productivity
On how to get things done
And manage the chaos that reigns
When push comes to shove
Every thing takes a backseat
You simply need to steer
Racing against time for dear life
In the toughest times
Good habits come to rescue
Like discipline and dedication
Helps complete tasks at hand.
How have your habits helped rescue you ?

On Analysis Paralysis
Some of the common Symptoms: Overthinking ,lack of focus, Stress ,Frustration, Racing thoughts .Indecisiveness in high pressure situations, Cognitive confusion. Tiredness Sleeplessness etc.
If you are feeling caught
In a swirl of thoughts & emotions
As if you are being engulfed
In a whirlwind of overthinking…
Perhaps about family & relationships
Or your career or finances etc
Where you feel stuck in a loop
Unable to take a decision
Or move forward with a solution.
It could be Analysis Paralysis.
While anyone of us may have experienced it, people with inflexible and fixed mindset often find themselves in this dilemma.
On the other hand people who are sensitive and empathy also find themselves unable to take a decision to move forward if it is going to upset another .
In fact Analysis Paralysis can create blockages for intuitive people and hence they need to understand it to address it.
If you are experiencing it now here are few solutions to manage it.
Sometimes a little pause or silence
Sometimes a little break from monotony
Can be a gamechanger
In the rut of routine
To unshackle the soul
And set the spirit free to imagine
And spark the creative fire within…
Wouldn’t you agree?
And I suppose how much of it all, is an answer each knows… in the journey of becoming.
In our life
There are all kinds of times
Life can seem unforgettable
With myriad memories…
All is transient
Sometimes it seems unforgivable
And yet…
When you don’t feel like forgiving
You give yourself the choice
For you can choose to forgive
If you do so…
Your life also evolves for the better
Choose to let go the unpleasant
For it makes no sense to hold on.
Change awaits to make a positive difference.
Choose well and in time.

A beautiful read this morning came my way through a social media forward from my mother.
It’s truly meaningful.
The Final Whistle…
I was watching a local football match on a school ground.
I asked a boy sitting nearby, “What’s the score of your team?”
With a smile, the boy replied, “We are at 0, the opponents are at 3.”
I said, “Don’t lose hope, young man.”
The boy looked at me with a puzzled expression, as if questioning my understanding of his determination.
He then gave me a profound response:
“Why should I lose hope, uncle, when the referee hasn’t blown the final whistle yet?”
“I trust my team and my coach completely.”
“We will definitely win,” he said confidently and continued watching the game.
To my amazement, the match ended 5-4 in favor of the boy’s team.
As the victory was announced, the boy waved enthusiastically at me and left with a bright smile.
I was astonished, struck by his unwavering belief and confidence. His faith was so beautiful, so deep, it left me contemplating.
That night, as I returned home, his question kept resonating in my mind:
“Why should I lose hope when the final whistle hasn’t been blown?”
Life is like a game…
While we are still in it, why do we give up so often?
When our final whistle hasn’t sounded, why should we despair?
The truth is, many of us blow our own whistle prematurely.
We leave the field before the game is over.
But as long as life is with us, nothing is impossible.
Whether our time is half over, three-quarters over, or just beginning, that doesn’t matter.
What matters is that we don’t blow the whistle on ourselves before the time is up.
The referee of our game is God.
Have faith in Him and in yourself.
So, let’s remember that the final whistle hasn’t sounded yet,
and let’s enjoy every moment of life like an exciting game!
Life is now.
Question your emotion.
Every emotion you are feeling has a connection to an experience.
Here is a little exercise that can help you understand your emotions and feelings as well as shift perspectives to positive thinking.
As and when, you observe your emotions, ask yourself a few questions. And as the answers come to you, write it down in your own words.
Fear : A base instinct that sometimes gets the better of us and makes living difficult.
Ask yourself, what is this fear?
Then ask yourself, what can I do to get to step beyond this fear?
And how can I address this objectively? Write it down.
Shame : Question yourself why and where did you feel inadequate in meeting set expectations?
Then ask who has set the expectations and work how you can grow beyond this limiting experience in expectation.
Guilt : Ask yourself if you have inner conflicts of values that’s bothering you. Your guilt trips are often deeply connected to your actions that crossed over your ingrained values. Reflect on on understanding yourself.
Sadness : Often sadness has an unfulfilled expectation or loss attached. Question what they are and then work on inculcating a regular practice of journalling your feelings. Additionally find a way to connect with dear caring friend with a listening attitude and share from your heart. It helps.
Anxiety : Question the self to check if what makes you anxious is within your line of control. It will clarify whether worrying helps at all…and helps you attend to that which you can do something about
Envy : Going green with envy is all about your unmet goals or aspirations and unfulfilled desires. Question your self , can I make this envy work for me to acheive my personal goals. Can my envy motivate me instead .Refraining helps .
Frustration Question what do I can so deeply about that I feel this way.
What will I stand to lose and how can I go about future proofing or safeguarding it in my capacity for it .
Anger : Questioning the root cause of anger will often throw light on an invasion of personal space imagined or real.
Objective reflection helps understand what boundaries have been encroached or eroded upon.
The shift of perspectives through self reflection, gives you a moment of clarity . It makes you sense possibilities beyond the obvious. This shift of thinking bridges gaps between different cultures, generations, creates openness, restores relationships and renews hope if you care. For you begin to reframe and understand emotions and able to manage it better.
