One moment of anger
Can wreak havoc on your health
Take a moment to pause
When you sense anger
Make a habit to breathe
Out your anger
Inhale a breathe of peace
And exhale the anger away…
For both cannot coexist.
Make space for peace within.
“Anger is like a storm rising up from the bottom of your consciousness. When you feel it coming, turn your focus to your breath.
Thich Nhat Hanh
Breathe in peace
Exhale out anger
Inside you, let peace prevail
Over moments of anger…

The Gift
We have a gift within each of us.
The gift of life!
It’s ours to take care.
We have another gift in and around us.
It’s in which we are.
The gift of this world!
It’s a gift we have for a while with us.
So that we can pass it on, to our children.
Let’s value the gifts we have.
Let’s remember to sense its preciousness.
Let’s never take it for granted.
For without it nothing is.
Savvy Raj
There is great power
In being yourself
You will know
You are enough
To be all that you are
Be you
That’s what u are meant to be
When you arrive at being comfortable being yourself,and in front of others, your gifts will shine through and you will make a positive impact on this world.
All it takes is being the authentic you!

A great share to remind yourself to check your current state of being. .
If only happiness can be summed up…
How easy it would seem!
But happiness can be elusive
When summoned it is often fleeting
But being able to take stock of your being
Will keep you aware
Of how much happiness is an inside job…
Savvy
Life colours itself the way we choose to see it.
What we focus on, finds us.
Choose to focus on the good
Life begins to feel good.
Between the many colours
Of life’s journey…
What do you choose to focus on?

Ever Grateful for a powerful caption that once caught my eye
“Don’t bite more than you can chew….”
Denotes the wisdom of moderation in life and living. To know a cut off point
Is to know where to draw the line between exhaustion and excitement.
Simply taking on more work or responsibility or trying to multitasking beyond your abilities and capacities is self defeating.
So only commit to what you truly can deliver .
Not less not more.
So grateful to have read this many years ago and consistently practice this learning.
Happy to share this piece of advice that is my mindful reminder before taking on more.

Sometimes you sense
Life taking you to places
Leading you to pathways Moving towards you.
Sometimes you notice
Signs that speak to you
Appearing and disappearing. From anywhere to nowhere.
It’s for you to understand
The significance of the signs
Now is the time to free your mind,
To listen in keen awareness,
And trust in the Universe There is always a reason
Nothing is coincidental.

Came across this interesting forward of 10 steps to self care. All relevant to one’s overall well-being.
Self care is very important for your mind body integration.
Self care is all encompassing. From physical to mental, it is about holistically addressing the external to internal aspects of Self management.
A few questions to yourself…
Do you think you have been caring for your own body mind and soul?
How much time do you allocate to your self care every day?
What are your ways to Self care? Care to list them?
Savvy
Think One positive thought
In an array of thoughts
Imagine it and it manifests
And every time you do
Know you are creating joy
Within and around you.
Savvy
A heartfelt forward worth a share…

Keep the faith and trust

Power of humanity
Is in the uniqueness
Of free will that innovates
In creativity and expression
As much as in the unity
Of collaboration that resolves in resilience
The way of the future
Is in the converging
Of hearts and minds
Towards resolution
In kindness and compassion
In humane ways
To construct than destruct nature & the world at large.
Let’s respect ,value & acknowledge this super power of humanity that we have within each of us and apply this in the world around us.
If only we can remind ourselves
Of the preciousness of this now
We will perhaps be more conscious of how we are
Of how life transforms itself
In living life
In mindful awareness
We perhaps will value
The necessity of gratitude
In our everyday moments
And that every now is precious
Enough to fill with gratitude.
