Jealousy ...

 Is there a way out of this extreme emotion ??

Oh yes !! There is always a way out of any negativity in your heart and mind provided we want to go there.

The few ways that I know are described below:

a) Being grateful for what one has ; We may have heard this word  'gratitude' so many times by now, but how often have we actually felt it, is the point. Being thankful for a warm bed, clothes in the cupboard, friends that one can pour their heart to ... To an opportunity to create value in this life, to life's challenges because they are always there to make us grow as a person ...the list can be endless.

Let's start or end our day with gratitude if we are not doing it already 

b) Not comparing oneself to others ; Let's face it, all of us compare ourselves to others and subsequently feel better or worse. We all have our own journey, lessons, personalities and we don't need someone to make us blow high or blow low , day in and day out. Let's not be caught in this tireless, exhausting, thankless loop.

c) Working on our own self belief, self confidence and self esteem. How ? A few ways are listed below :

1) Identify those positives / strengths and work on them to make it stronger and better.

2) Reflect on your weaknesses/ negative thinking and challenge them, accept them, work on them ... As long as we do something about them 

3) Take care of your physical health and we all know the benefits of that. It elevates our mood and overall well being for sure 

4) Let's challenge ourselves in something / anything and keep doing that on an ongoing basis. Sure shot way to boost that confidence 

Ending with a quote from Priyanka Chopra "We are complete as ourselves, and our flaws make us unique. Perfection is boring anyway. As soon as you find and identify your flaws, there’s no one who can be like you. From that you can take your confidence."

Happy journey my friends

In DEEP GRATITUDE

Image
 The woman that walked in felt chained down, afraid , fearful, confused, super exhausted, unhappy, heavy, worn and depleted of any life force. Anyway out of it, seemed impossible to achieve  But all thanks to her great good fortune, in walked in another woman who with her humility, knowledge, expertise, sincerity, genuine concern, objectivity, understanding, completely non judgmental attitude and a very  structured approach, held her hand and helped her to move forward. The woman walking out is actually feeling ok with all the experiences and challenges that she had to face, is ready to learn from them and move forward. She is also feeling unchained, free and open to be herself and excited at her second innings. While words are truly not enough to express her gratitude, that's all she has at the moment with a promise that she will make herself and you proud in times to come ... " I want to say thank you to the rare few individuals in my life who have listened without judg...

Introverts vs Extroverts

Image
We all have different personality types which are not limited or restricted to being an introvert or an extrovert. But just to make it simple to understand, let's broadly curb it to down to these two personalities. While growing up also, I would be mostly happy being myself. Introverts are definately not anti-social. I feel they are just not social enough and they are happy that way.  Knowing myself very well, let me try and burst a few myths about introverts.  1) They are unfriendly and like I said earlier anti social. I can certainly vouch for the fact that they are neither. They prefer time alone but that does not make them unfriendly at all. 2) It's difficult to get to know them. That is truly not the case, but introverts prefer not to open themselves with all who prefer to small talk. They have meaningful deeper friendships and connections with a handful of people who know them quite well. 3) When one thinks of a leader , who would you imagine ? That's right ..an extro...

Disrespect

Image
 I am sure everyone is aware of what disrespect means but just to break it down; disrespect is  1) to treat without respect 2) show or express contempt or rudeness 3) low regard for someone or something. 4) to disrespect someone is to act in an insulting way towards them. 5) It is actually the exact opposite of respect by acting rude, impolite or offensive. I am sure all of us have witnessed it somewhere / sometime.Being disrespected is definately not a part of healthy relationships. Let me give you an example of disrespect  in a form of put down. Radha and Ashok have been married for a while and Ashok knows that Radha always wanted to become a doctor but could not for some reasons. While they are out for dinner with the extended family, Ashok says a mean joke suggesting Radha was not smart enough to become a doctor which causes Radha to be embarrassed. (Now simply replace becoming a doctor with anything else). And that's a put down which in turn is huge part of disrespec...
