Mind over matter

When mind  is over matter

It reflects in every cell

When you keep the faith

Living in gratitude

And be thankful…

Life becomes beautiful.

Choice rests with you

Live life lovingly đź’™

Cultivating Patience

A calm composed nature

Allows space for response

An agitated mind & heart

Creates room for errors,

Of judgment & misunderstanding.

Patience is a virtue

An undervalued skill

In cultivating patience

You encourage a moment

For reflection before response.

To be patient is an opportunity

To be able to lean into the silence

And glean fresh perspectives.

For every moment is filled with it..

In seeing every moment,

in the journey as a step forward

than a race against time.

Is about cultivating patience.

Creating  conscious peace in mindful ways.

An unrealized dream…

An unrealized dream
An unexplored adventure
A challenging adversity
A twist of fortune
An unexpected detour
An unwanted influence
An undervalued feeling
A undermined self-esteem
A slew of slights
A spate of illness
A foreboding feeling
An unfinished business
An unforgivable mistake
An unfortunate moment
All may seem reason enough
But the reality is these are excuses
Remind your life happens.
Time is moving its course
Buck up and reset your path
For you know in your heart
You are enough for you.

Be the catalyst of change

Just because  you can worry

Doesn’t mean you have to

For there is always a reason  to fret

But if you change your attitude

Shift your perspective

If you can  meet all that comes up

With a smile from the heart

Things just might fall in place

So keep seeing the good in all

And in yourself

Be the catalyst of change…

Beauty in the ordinary

Where time ticks onwards too fast

In a rushing world

With no time to stand and stare

The beauty is in the ordinary… 

An unforgettable vegetarian lunch in China.

In simple sharing, 

Of a space,

Of a meal ,

Of being with one another

Valuing time spent joyfully

With family & friends

That makes the day magical.

Heal in Synchrony

Can I hold my own hand

And close my eyes for a while

And listen to my beating heart

As I still myself and pause.

There is so much to listen in

Body spirit and mind speaks

As it all begins to make sense.

Heart emotes the feelings 

Brain thinks the words out

Hopefully logical

Emotionally rational

All it wants  is a listening  ear

To understand empathicaly

Sensing the  harmony

To heal the self 

Aligning energy in synchrony.

An evening contemplation.

Irony of life

Love

Those who find love

Don’t bother to nurture it

Love starts losing value..

Children

Those who have many children

Find it challenging to rear them

And then there are those

Who ache for the blessing of a child

Health

Those who are in the pink of health

Take it for granted

And then there are those who want nothing more than the wealth of health.

Wealth

Those who have the means of wealth

Find no meaning  in it

And search for a meaningful life

And those who have no means

Are struggling to live each day.

Loss

Those who are grieving

Remember their lost companion

Those who have a partner

Forget there is one.

Despair

Those who are broken

Know the value of living 

To acknowledge the life.

In every moment.

Every life is different

Yet such is the irony of life 

That often life is lost in living it. 

And those who choose to live it lovingly and value the preciousness are truly rare…

So you are angry?

So you are angry?

Now what?

Do you think it is helping you ?

For anger never helps

It only hurts .

Here are six things you can do for balancing your emotions and feeling better.

1.Become Aware that you are reacting than responding  in your anger is the first step

2.Counting backwards  from 20 to 1.

3. Removing yourself from the place you are feeling angry even for a short while by going for a short walk helps settle your emotions.

4. Switch words is a technique to use feeling oriented words to  create powerful change of emotions with imagery to manage anger.

For example a positive word like Happy can evoke different  feelings.

Or words like ‘take it easy ‘can  evoke a sense of ease.

5. Better still  is taking to chanting mantras, or hearing your favorite upbeat music , or even Journaling. 

6. If nothing else imagining ocean tides in a flow and breathing deeply, in and out  even for a few minutes eases the tense body & mind.

Remember  to acknowledge  your emotions  as there is more harm in suppression. As you find healthy  pathways to manage your anger, you bring wellbeing  into your life

How to become a better version of oneself?

To evolve into a better version  of the self…

You incrementally make the moves towards it.

If you sense frustration and angst  choose to make sense of where  you are in this now…

Are you angry at something  beyond your control?

When you realise you cannot  change another then be wise to improve yourself.

Be assertive and you will sense confidence.

Choose to be self aware and have the courage to dare to speak for yourself.

You are your best friend,  you don’t need anothers validation.

Own your truths. Both strengths and weaknesses. And work on improving  your self in conscious ways, step by step .

It all starts with you taking the step.

Would you agree?

Here’s a thoughtworthy share

Air Commodore Vishal was a Jet Pilot. In a combat mission his fighter plane was destroyed by a missile. He however ejected himself and parachuted safely. He won acclaims and appreciations from many.

After five years one day he was sitting with his wife in a restaurant. A man from another table came to him and said “You’re Captain Vishal ! You flew jet fighters. You were shot down!”

“How in the world did you know that?” asked Vishal.

“I packed your parachute,” the man smiled and replied.
Vishal gasped in surprise and gratitude and thought if parachute hadn’t worked, I wouldn’t be here today.

Vishal couldn’t sleep that night, thinking about that man. He wondered how many times I might have seen him and not even said ‘Good morning, how are you?’ or anything because, he was a fighter pilot and that person was just a safety worker”

So friends, who is packing your parachute?
Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it through the day.

We need many kinds of parachutes– we need the physical parachute, the mental parachute, the emotional parachute, and the spiritual parachute.
We call on all these supports before reaching safety.

Sometimes in the daily challenges that life gives us, we miss what is really important.

We may fail to say hello, please, or thank you, congratulate someone on something wonderful that has happened to them, give a compliment, or just do something nice for no reason.

As you go through this week, this month, this year, recognize the people who pack your parachute.
Happy New Year
❤️

Self Reflection

The child they say is the father of the man.

Question yourself

How you were as a child…

How was your childhood?

Here is a little self reflection tool in understanding the self.

Think of yourself as a child,  what age do  you imagine  yourself  to be in?

Write down words that come to you when you think of your childhood?

Write down people or places that  connect with the words you wrote

You will find yourself  connecting the dots…

All of the expressed, repressed and suppressed emotions has much to do with who you become as an adult.

Much of what you felt, are feeling as an adult goes back to what you enjoyed or endured as a child..

Nature works with nurture to create your being.

Each of us have  evolved from our  experiences. Self reflection is a valuable tool to bring to  awareness that however easy or difficult the childhood was, understanding that childhood is your past but the present is with you for you to carve. to make your future.

Now the choice rests with you.

Heart matters

The same heart that loves

Hurts some day

The same heart that hurts

Heals some day

The heart is extremely versatile

Capable of being adaptable

Beyond our fears and doubts

Capable of love and hate

And all the shades in between.

From going green with envy

To blossoming  like red roses…

Heart beats on its own tune

Take care of the heart

Feed it well

Stay happy and healthy

In good faith and trust.

For life is in the heartbeat.
