A blessed mindset

A blessed mindset

Think it, feel it, emote it

Sense it, move with it

Soon you make others feel it.

People sense confidence

In your voice and demeanor

They know there is purpose

And clarity in your ways.

Creating energy that elevates

As you embody you emanate

Without much hesitation

You attract abundance

In the blessed mindset

And aligned in gratitude.

You sense and create oneness.

Values Of Being

Trust is what holds us together

Faith leads our way

Belief begets action

Hope brings limitless optimism

Care creates consideration

Truth brings credence.

Love bonds boundlessly

Each creates the values of being.

The light of the source

Growing on an uncharted path,

All by yourself

Blossoming from inner faith

A strength of belief

Rises you up from within

That you project to the world

Sharing hope and happiness

So, like the delicate flowers

So full of perseverance

Arising  from bud to bloom

Dancing with the wind

Come rain or sun…

You share as you grow…

Beauty is in and around you

Radiating for all to see…

The light of the source.

I am sharing this hopegiving poem I just wrote.

We are all beings of light, moving towards our purpose in our own unique ways. With so much hope within each of us to know and understand along the way…

May we acknowledge and bloom in the light of the source we are created from.

Dignity of being

Its not pride. It’s dignity,

That you need with you.

Much is the difference between .

In no uncertain moment

Lose your sense of dignity.

For dignity is divine

For it embodies your spirit & soul

Pride is just a human emotion. 

If ever you face a situation

Where anothers words & deeds 

Leave you broken

Remember  its just your pride & ego

That feels deflated in the moments.

It’s just a phase of life it will pass.

Your dignity stays with you

In the way you handle

With no loss of grace

Stay dignified, stay graceful.

So much more…

Hopegiving & motivational words  that serve as a reminder to self.

Feel free to share with whomever you think needs it at this moment.

Let not the problems that come by boggle you .

Know time has all the answers

Keep the faith.

Let not the hear and say affect you.

There is always more than what is said or heard.

So much more.

Let not the passion for whatever you do dwindle

Rest & recharge yourself & keep  the spirit alive.

Let not the weight of what you carry pull you down.

You are definitely not defined by how much you bear.

You are much more than that.

So go ahead, aspire to transform  yourself  for the better

And keep moving closer to your dreams.

Taking a step in time.

And most importantly, trust in yourself

For there is always so much more

To you, for you  & by you.

Thankful for Dance

To dance is to move with all of you.

To dance is to have hope in the living.

To dance is to feel the spirit of life in the movement.

To dance is to know the value of time.

To dance is to feel the rhythm in the beat.

To dance is to sense the subtlety of life.

To dance is to acknowledge the life in every moment.

I share a capture of one of the International Dance Research Congress, that I was honoured to have attended in Athens.

Today is celebrated as the International Day of Dance…

Yet everyday I am thankful… and deeply grateful to the art of dance in bringing positive difference to my life.

Thankful to dance in my life, & all the wonderful people I have been priveleged to meet, connect, learn & share my passion for dance… 🙏✨

A leap of faith.

A leap of faith Is what makes life a life.
Take the chances
That you choose to let go.                Be intentional
So that life doesn slip away.

Take the chance

May be they turn out the best decision of your life.

They say opportunity does not knock twice..

So take a leap of faith.

So when you hear the calling of your heart & soul..

Trust you can and you can!

Truths & facades

There is much going on behind a smile or a tear

As much as there is behind an act of aggression or care.

Truths that lie just over the bend

Masked in a show of strength

A veil may cover the apparent

But the body never lies.

It leaves imprints of expression

In every moment of now .

Truths that cannot be shared

Truths that needs to be dared

The body wisdom takes over

To make it through

To the truths over the facades.

Acknowledge

As humans we are always exploring and discovering  possibilities. Sometimes we understand  much in no time, and take the right steps, and at other times we mis the bus.

Acknowledge the wins  & the  misses.

Every step missed is brimming with a lesson.

If we choose to pay attention every failure teaches us something.

On where we want to be,

On how far we are, from where we want to go.

Question is are we ready to acknowledge  failure as  a part of the learning process?

Every success  can be attributed  to the  many experiences that may have had many lessons  and the effort taken to succeed. 

And if there is propensity  and determination to take the effort, there are many pathways  that lead us beyond failure. 

I like this saying by Mary Ash, I came across  recently which presents a fresh perspective on failure.

‘For every failure, there’s an alternative course of action. You just have to find it. When you come to a roadblock, take a detour.’

Acknowledge where and how you are.

You will find your own path.

How to manage a difficult conversation?

In the course of my career over the years handling teams of various departments, people management  became my forte while experiencing many instances which needed agility in communication.

Here are few pointers…

If you can help it thoroughly prepare yourself  with research so that you are prepared to handle any objections well.

Try to choose when and where to have a difficult conversation.

Always start with a positive mindset and speak with concern without blaming .

Make sure you are clear about what you want to communicate.  And deliver your stance  clearly  without any ambiguity.

Speak in the right tone as per the situation.

Listen actively well to acknowledge  emotions and  understand so you can respond than react.

If there is too much tension or another impasse it is alright to pause, take a  short timely break to diffuse tension and then recoup

Be focussed on what you wish to communicate and steer the conversation if it veers off topic.

Be open to alternatives and  perspectives and see if you can  find common ground to stay flexible to foster collaboration.

Resolve issues find win win solutions & clear issues.

Do you remember  any instances of  difficult  conversations you have had? How did you manage it?

Strength of the soul

A glimpse of the intangible

Is often visible through signs

Like the strength of the soul

Appears in true forgiveness

In letting go of  fear of failure

In ability to start all over again

In letting go of negativity

In ability to center the self

In letting go of revenge mentality

In the ability to share kindness

In sensing the lightness of being

In awareness of the bigger picture.

The strength of the soul shines through.

Daring the unknown

Our conditioning has a role to play in the way we see people and things around us. To trust is to dare into the unknown.

Just read this interesting article …

19 professionals walk through unknown villages for 3 days — without a single rupee | Pune News – The Indian Express

https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/pune/19-professions-walk-through-unknown-villages-for-3-days-without-a-single-rupee-9583205/

Amazing to read about these Braveheart  who dared to experience  first hand  self-belief beyond fear…and who came back enriched with experiences.

Touching to read  about the kindhearted  people who came their way like saviours.

Pretty sure  they may all have had some life altering experiences in one way or another.

Against all odds

Breaking the rut of routine

In forging new pathways

Beyond fear for survival

All preconceived notions fall

In the dare into  the unknown.

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.

Travel On…

I wrote this poem back in time after an unexpected opportunity to travel set me off across exploring unforgettable places and spaces on my own.

Yesterday as I was conversing with one of my earlier dance student and friend now, he somehow reminded me of this poem again , as he  has been traveling the length and breadth of India on a bike, covering over 80% of India.

While I wait to see his photo shares and hear more from him about his experience in the journey.

Thought of sharing my verses  again.

Travel On

If you are given an opportunity to take a journey

Take it, for you meet many versions of you.

Along the road.

Some you cherish, some cherish you.

Some that change you and some that you change.

Fear not the travel or the traveling…

For one thing is certain

You come away enriched and wiser in every journey.

Travel to liberate yourself
From self assumed notions
To see the light on the other side
There is much to unlearn and unbox
As you travel yield in to the insights
Travel every once in a while if opportunity arises,

Take the chance,
You are richer in your explorations much as your experiences.
Travel on …
