  • Presence >>> presents

    Do you feel neglected if your dear ones don’t send you a well-remebered gift? Do you always scramble to be the best friend who steals the thunder with her bouquet of presents?

    The poor spend money but the rich spend time. And truly enough, time is the biggest gift you can give to anyone or get gifted in turn!

    And it all boils down to quality time. Not necesarily hours spent gossiping idle but definitely being their in the moments of need. It may not be a big spend of riches but being able to put you on their schedule and prioritize it is the biggest gesture of it all.

    In today’s world we are all time poor so sending across a gift is a no-brainer. But being able to make time and spend it well is the ‘it’ thing. It’s the next big thing because you are valued in the minutes spent with you and not just the dollars spent on you.

    So look for big intent, big conversations, big heart and not big wallet alone!

  • First Love Yourself

    Humans are social beings. But being social is often mistaken to being dependent.

    A self-reliant and self-assured person can make better connections with others. Connections that meaningfully resonate, last a lifetime and are fulfilling to both parties.

    In a nutshell be thy best friend and companion – no one’s coming to rescue you.

  • Intentional Living

    Is that the opposite of mindful living? Where one stops to smell the roses and stays aware of the here and now.

    Or is being intentional a complementary way of being aware of the deeper meaning of what you do. Trying to attach purpose to what one does and how one does it. Be it planning a family day out or a day date with your partner. To give your actions an objective, is like giving a soul to the sculpture. It’s like giving personality to the creative. 

    And it doesn’t have to be an overthinking exercise, just one word out of a few options. Why do you wanna buy that thing in your cart – is it serving a long desired purpose or another way to deal with a failure? Why are you reaching out for that piece of cookie – did you earn it for your cheat day or just to deal with your emotions?

    Try being intentional everyday and soon you’ll be flexing this muscle even in nurturing your relationships. And that could be such a game changer to turn talks into conversations and turn dates into connections. After all to live without intent is to just survive!
