Are you feeling lonesome and blue?

Are you lonely and perhaps  feeling lost?

Are you afraid of being lonely?

Loneliness is a silent killer.

Not easy to deal with. It can catch  you when you are least aware.And it may seem challenging with the changing season.

Every person alive might have to battle it in different  degrees one time or another  in their lifetime .

Often it may be, the fear of ending up alone that people make wrong personal choices. 

Often those very choices are the reason one feels lonely.

For there are times you can be feeling lonely in a room full of people.

Sometimes you have a life partner but feel there is no true companionship.

Sometimes you are actually alone with nobody around and hence feel lonely.

Circumstances may be different  and varied for every one but the condition is one, of being lonely.

There is a thoughtworthy words I read, that comes to mind on loneliness.

Loneliness is the poverty of the self

Solitude is the richness of the self.

Now that changes the perspective doesn’t it .

What you envision your life, life becomes, such is the power of visualization and intention.

No matter where you are or who you are with,

Remember, you are never truly lonely if you flip the script…

Think you have you

Value the life you have

You are alive as yet

And you are enough for you.

On Conflict Resolutions

Building bridges of understanding 

Listen first. Give your opponents a chance to talk. Let them finish. Do not resist, defend or debate. This only raises barriers. Try to build bridges of understanding”. Dale Carnegie

Have you managed and resolved conflicts in virtual teams? If so, you will agree on how much communication matters in building bridges of understanding.

On Virtual Conflict Resolutions

Conflicts and its resolution are part of teams dynamics. An empathic approach to that is inclusive, non-judgemental, proactive  and  open to establishing safe discussion spaces creates positive outcomes in virtual scenarios.

In virtual team management  scenario, it is important to define and understand what matters to each person or team to find the path forward. Creating a mutual connection virtually  bridges over misunderstanding, encourages trust and strengthens relationships, leading to positive communication.

Being objective, mindful and  awareof unconscious biases that influence perception helps create a roadmap towards resolutions.

What are your challenges in managing virtual conflicts?

How do you resolve them? Do  share your perspectives.

On leadership.

Poignant truths  to remember for all leaders

You are human and not a machine and so is your team.

You are here to lead, not here to be liked by all. 

You will also make mistakes,  and that is how you learn

You will adapt as you cannot control everything, some things are unavoidable and  sooner you  acknowledge  it the better.

You will be challenged by a few in inexplicable ways , but these experiences will empower you.

Your teams will outgrow you in time, even if you have invested your all in them .

You will learn how to sustain in the letting go , that is the way of evolving with change.

And most of all the higher you climb the lonelier you will feel.

Be prepared to manage  it.

Fleeting moments

There is beauty in this now

But a sadness in letting go

Learning to appreciate this now

And accept the changing moments

As part of every now

Helps envision beyond what is

For all is transient.

Self Healing

Head to toe

Toe to head

Breathe it out

Let it go..

Heal overwhelm

Heal overthinking

Heal your heart

Heal yourself

In the mixed bag of lides emotions

Some get felt a little too deeply

Embedding  itself into the psyche.

And affecting thoughts & actions

Emotions too need release

Unshackle to let go and free up

Cut the cord of emotions

Before they overwhelm you.

Find some time to breathe it out

To process and reflect & let go

To exhale the unwanted emotions.

And heal your heart .

Feeling peaceful

What makes me feel peaceful ?

Just spending time with our little furball combing his long coat  every other day makes me feel peaceful.
A little moment every now and then writing my thoughts  down feels peaceful
Spending time alone witnessing the stillness of the breath or practicing Qi Gong in the garden with green trees  for company  makes me feel peaceful.

Meditative moments  especially  at home in front a Buddha statue makes me feel peaceful.

Painting and dancing  without an agenda, on my own, whenever  I  wish to, makes me feel peaceful.

But most of all…
Living  in the now, without  too many expectations  makes me peaceful ✌️

What makes you feel peaceful?

All for the better

And sometimes when things don’t go as planned

May be you have been saved from some unknown obstacle

May be it wasn’t the right time

May be its all for the better.

Perfect imperfections

Perfection is never the inspiration for nothing is perfect always.

Acknowledging ones imperfections & managing it with grace is true inspiration.

The need for perfection creates undue pressure. Being able to work on the journey without undue pressure can be joyful journey.

What are your thoughts?

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.

Thrive in Gratitude

Life hands many a tough lessons in our journeys. But to strive to be strong and tread through it all, not just by surviving the ordeals but thriving takes inner strength in conviction. It helps to focus on your sense of purpose if you have deciphered it by now, else take each moment as momentary.  Know the pain you feel in this now will be gone in the next. This attitude takes you on a spiritual path of letting go. It makes a profound impact in life  as you continue to practise regularly. Regardless of outcomes you are  thriving…in Gratitude for the lessons from life in the living.🙏

Thank the good

In the depths of darkness

Keep the faith on a new dawn

In the numerous wrongs

See the rights

Thank the good

Be grateful for it

Make it a practice of a life time

Know you’re in a better space.
