  • Get Better At Living

    Always in a hurry. Multitasking forever. Feel like you are chasing endless goals from an infinitely long bucket list.

    The constant aim is to make our lives better. Bigger, faster, anything superlative is what we are tirelessly (& most often mindlessly) working at. What if we chase being better at living instead of the constant desire to upgrade our lives.

    Let’s not assume it’s a death of ambitions. Nor is it that I am preaching slow thinking or deferring decision-making. It’s more about keeping yourself and your core constant in whatever life throws at you. You can only control your physical body, not even subtle body, then why put up a fight with the situations, circumstances and behaviours of others. All of these are external to your locus of control anyways.

    Look inward and guard your space. Keep up your own spirits. Build your own routines. Walk a new path. Put on your playlist and float in the music. If someone lends a shoulder every now & then, embrace it and be grateful about it. Get better at living whatever life throws at you!

  • Romance for the single souls?

    Is being romantic only the territory of couples? How can singles keep the romance in life alive?

    Romance is nothing but a feeling of mystery and excitement, often associated with love. It takes you away from everyday life and builds a sense of remoteness.

    Love yourself  – Spend time your own way without any shackles or constraints. Unhinged and unabashedly keep aside a few minutes everyday to spend time the way you like, not dictated by your daily routine, chores or family commitments.

    Prioritize yourself – Hobbies, food, outfits, events. The choice is yours and only yours. Guard it selfishly, cos if you don’t decide for yourself then others would!

    Keep your network alive – Whether it is friends, family or colleagues keep in touch and invest your time in nurturing these for the future. After all no man’s an island (or woman for that matter).

    In short enjoy the little things in life. Sans anyone. Be the best companion you can ever get, full of positivity and strength. Trust me, no one can do it for you!
