  • Science of Gratitude

    Making it more than a good vibe or nicety. It’s can become an intentional act that reshapes how one experiences life. If one can focus on what’s already here and not on what’s missing – one can grow the capacity for joy.

    Neuroscience studies show gratitude activates parts of brain responsible for regulating emotions and improving decision making. Growing the brain’s neural pathways stronger. It’s like strength training for the brain – the more you do it, the easier it gets.

    Don’t mistake gratitude for an act of denial. It’s more like an act of defiance – a self-refusal to be consumed by negativity. A hack to thrive even when life itself isn’t perfect!

  • Perspective : Half full or half empty ?

    It’s all about perspective isn’t it? And mine can be different from yours. As long as we each own it!

    Our happiness doesn’t depend on what happens but is based on how we interpret what happened. Our interpretation of what happened is filled with assumptions, experiences and conditioning – and all of these are internal to us; far moved from the reality of what happened now. So your reality is not what happened but how you chose to see it.

    A sweetmeat from the Himalayas

    Start seeing failures as feedback, setbacks as stepping stones and challenges as opportunities. If you see the glass full you would be grateful while if you see it half empty you may always complain. So choose to control your perspective and you shall choose happiness.

  • Being human

    To be human is to ‘be’ and not to be ‘done’. So there may never be a perfect you, because you would always be a ‘work in progress’.

    And that’s great news! As everyday you are a 0.01% better than yesterday and that my friend is nothing but progress. That is to ‘be’. And that is the greatest gift as you are alive and kicking.

    But aren’t we supposed to be perfect – the best spouse, parent, sibling, child, friend that ever walked on the earth. Yes you are but sadly being the complex human ‘being’ that you are it would take many a lifetimes to be there. So you do you and you be you. Here and now, rather than waiting to be the elusive epitome of perfectionism. It’s a mirage so rather live for today than worry for tomorrow.

  • The right time

    Is there ever a right time? Or rather can the timing ever be wrong? To action, to grow, to be yourself? To move out of the comfort zone, to feel the pain, to have those difficult conversations? To hustle, to sweat, to ache?

    Or is now the best time? Or is today the best day? Or here is the best place to be?

  • Yellow 💛

    In sickness we all cherish health,

    But then were we not busy chasing wealth!

    In loneliness we look for companionship,

    Longing for relations we couldn’t help but nip.

    In darkness all we need are ray of hopes,

    To stop behaving like a bunch of mopes.

    So to sadness, illness and despair we say,

    Not today my friend, not today ❤️
