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.

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…

Capture of Whispers

As the brush strokes the canvas

It captures the artists essence

From the whispers of the heart

To the directions of the mind

Different strokes may appear

With the same thoughts

Different thoughts may arise

From the same strokes.

What whispers will art capture today?

Writer & Words

The paper is where it is
On it the pen moves
Driven by the hand
The fingers of writer
Holding the pen
Waltzing on paper
Shaping thoughts
In a flow all its own.
And the soul & spirit
Of the writer imprints
For eternity…

BENEFIT OF DOUBT

Sometimes life makes you teach yourself many things…

Giving the benefit of doubt

There are many crossroads in life be it in a career with any  organisation or in partnerships, or even personally between people or teams, where point of views are different and clash of  perspectives on decisions are bound to occur.

Can you agree to disagree?

For most, it is challenging as its not always easy to come to terms with what affects you or  makes you emotional. Yet learning ways to give the benefit of doubt, calls for development of strategic skills.

It is important to process any conflict of interest, you may have with others , first with your own self.

Check if you can find the root of your disagreement with a particular decision.

What is it that you are not aligned with?

Why are you feeling this way?

Empathic Perspectives

Then begin to imagine if you are able to bring empathy by setting aside your feelings on what you are yet unable to accept and think from the other persons perspective, does the view alter then? Does it change your thoughts a bit?

If you can alternatively, also think if you choose to agree, in the larger interest, does it benefit or can it make your team bond together.

Let’s also not discount the possibility of you having less  information about the reasons for any decision taken.

Ultimately, whatever way you chose to think or act is your choice to take. But sometimes when it may seem impossible to make sense of things do remember, there is always more than what meets the eye!

A free flow…

An experimental poem

Yesterday evening, I asked my mother sitting besides me and sipping her tea, to share a few random words that came to her mind.

These are what she shared in the same order as she shared.

Time, Eternal, Free, Freedom, Connection, Heart, Destiny, Love, Emerging, Twinkle, Abundance, Garnering, Gather, Depth, Stardust, Voyage Spirit

Here is what I imagined in the dance of these words…

When Love is Destiny

Emerging in eternal time
Destiny twinkles on stardust
Garnering connections of  hearts
Voyaging free in the spirit of freedom.
Gathering abundance in the
depth of love.

Sensing Divinity

My friend Destiny highlighted a comment of mine on her comment on my yesterdays post Sensing

It felt as if we exchanged a moment of poignant connection that jumped time. For in that one moment words touched heartsfields. where feelings are relatable. In empathy or synchrony…

It is certainly not something new, for it is something we all undergo as writers and readers. A connection, through mere words but that which feels you know… the spirit, and soul of the hand that pens the verses or the heart that emotes in the reading.

And these are moments that make

Words come alive & speak

From a place of knowing

Far beyond mere words

Beyond the writer or reader.

As if it’s meant to be

As if it’s meant to connect.

These are moments…

Sparking the dance of divinity

Of the inexplicable serendipity

In Sensing Oneness in humanity.

It’s all in the breath

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

Healing through breathing…

Here is one of the many techniques that can be practiced in awareness.

Box breathing

A Breathing technique to destress an agitated and tense mind to calm state and improve the mood.

A good practice for all and especially for those with depression, anxiety disorder and PTSD managing pains and insomnia.

The technique is simple and very effective.

1. Sit upright & Start with exhaling air out of your mouth slowly counting 1to 4.

2. Hold for four counts

3. Inhale deeply filling air section by section till it reaches the lungs & abdomen for four counts through your nose.

4.Again hold for four counts

5. Exhale for four counts from the abdomen and lungs slowly.

As a beginner choose a quiet place to begin this mindful practice. You can start by repeating for four times in one setting. Initially it is advisable to gradually take it up. In case you feel a little dizzy go back to your regular breathing and build it again.

The slow breathing and holding is the most important aspect which activates the para sympathetic system and thus helps reduce stress.

You can practice box breathing couple of sets in a day as needed to calm down.

Breathe away the stress

And breathe in ease.

LOVE

Sharing light & love…

Speaking of intentions, I intended to find some time to try something new today. I created this digital art using an app. It’s truly amazing! So many ways to express your creativity! 

What do you think of it?

Adapting to the changing world requires keeping up with the times,  doing the things you love and loving what you do… And most of all living life lovingly!

Every beat of the
heart matters
Every heartfelt
intention makes a
difference.
Every moment of time
is precious.
Every blissful heart
knows!

On Letting Go

Letting go is never easy

For we are often not ready

Letting go is a courage as much as a necessity

Letting go that which you can’t change

Letting go of yourself beyond the fear

Letting go of insecurity that is holding you back

Letting go of things that no longer serve you

Letting go to create space for something new

Letting go of unnecessary doubts that delay the possibilities

Letting go creates a difference with a lightness of being…

Learn to let your self go

And watch life transform in and around you…

All it takes is letting go

Think of letting go of the spurious

Like a breath taken

How long will you hold it?

Inhale and exhale are part of life

As you inhale, live life

In knowing the exhale

Is but a circle of life.

Part of something bigger

Every time you connect
With nature in any form
You realize…
You are part of something bigger
That there is so much more
Of spaces between the steps
You acknowledge…
The light of  life and living
The strength of the interconnects.

You become aware
In feeling & sensing the mystical in you…
And the potential of you in the universe
How much you matter…
You are part of something bigger!

On Self Worth

Do you sense love for yourself
Do you feel respect for yourself
Do you feel your sense of self esteem

Do you feel a sense of self worth

What is your self worth tied to?
Is  it your education
Your fancy degrees
Your knowledge
Your partner?
Or your beauty?
Your abilities?
Is it to your achievements?
Your skills?
Your bank balance?
Or is it to your designation
Your children
Your home?
Your cars?
Your phone?

If  you have answered yes honestly to any of the above  please think again
Work on your independence
Free your mind free your heart
Free yourself from chains
Practice unshackling 
Try to detach your self worth 
From material  things.
Others cannot always be around
We are born as unique beings
We  are complete in every way
No one can latch on to us
Nor should we latch on to another
Self awareness is crucial
For true self confidence
Self Confidence creates self esteem
Self esteem develops self worth
Value the life you have
Understand your truth
Explore your potential
You are worthy.

Simple tips to help you give a great speech

While you can use any of the latest AI Apps to enhance your presentation. And you may find it easier when you do the basic preparation of the speech.
A few things that are truly  important is keeping yourself hydrated before a speech. Having to deliver a long presentation and speech can be quite challenging with a dry mouth.
Secondly doing a technical check  if you also have a presentation to support, prior to your speech is equally necessary. As whatever be your presentation  if it does not synch with  your speech, it can be rather challenging.
Third make sure to take a deep breath before you start as it helps balance your mind &  body easing the nervous system, and enhancing present moment  awareness. This is truly helpful where you can easily improvise in case you forget a few lines which can happen to anyone Inspite of preparations.
Most of all having a good night sleep before an important speech keeps you looking fresh and in the now.

If you love what you do

And are lucky to do what you love

Speaking from your strengths is actually easy

For it flows from within

About that which you are passionate about.

Prepare well

But remember to flow…
