  • A.S.A.P.

    As soon as possible or asap in corporate language calls for immediate response and attachs the tag of urgency to every task. Do we really need this sense of haste and immediateness in every action? Is this mindset leading to burnout? Can we reset our thoughts, beliefs and actions from this ‘asap’ culture?

    Never ending to-do list

    As simple as possible – neural decisions to uncomplicate words, tasks and thoughts. Adopt the simplest thoughts, the boring words, the un-adventurous and the tried & tested ways of accomplishing.

    As soft as possible – sprinkling kindness into our deeds, relations and views. Taking an antagonist stand is ‘in’ but being kind is the new cool.

    As slow as possible – embrace pause and cultivate reflections to your reflexes. Life is not a game parlour where the fastest reflexes always matter.

    As sincere as possible – add a dash of honesty to your connections, a splash of genuineness to your conversations and see how deep and fulfilling moments can seem.

    As steady as possible – preserving one’s inner peace and happiness. Practising dettachment to deflect other’s energies from disturbing your state of calm.

    As sustainable as possible – identifying quick dopamine fixes from the long term habits. Bring longetivity to your fleeting thoughts. Evaluate emotions that ebb & tide for their depth.

    Let us choose from the many forms of asap and let As soon as possible die a natural death from our mindspace. 🫰

  • A culture of Busyness

    No it’s not a typo, no auto-correct here. I mean busyness – that state where one consciously keeps busy fluttering from one task to another. In short the opposite of stillness. Also not to be confused with the word business though I wonder if busyness & business share a common origin.

    So how does one master this art – practise my friend. Stay occupied all day, every day. At work, at play. Come rain, come shine. Turn into a bee worker, not pausing for a breather. And you would seemingly appear the most important person without whom the world would collapse.

    Or become a mindful zen, a practitioner of slow living. Give your mind, body and soul alternate spurts of intense productivity and ‘do nothing’ breaks. Try it, it is a game changer to being your best version. & yes I mean business here.
