1.      Meditate/ Visualize

Meditation is the best medicine for every injury, outer or external. Sit in the meditative posture, let your thoughts come and go, be silent, relax and leave onto God. If you can’t, find a silent and conducive place for meditating. Is it still difficult?
No problems- Visualize

Although meditation gives a calm and soothing effect to mind, body and soul and nothing can replace its effects and benefits but if you can’t do it initially, try visualizing. Sit and visualize your dream, your success, your next vacations, anything that gives you ultimate happiness. You can enjoy with your partner, play with a friend, dive into the deepest ocean or sky whatever you love to and want to. This one exercise will refresh and rejuvenate you to the extent; you would not have felt for quite some time. 

2.    Make a List of what you Love to do/ your Passion / your Hobby/ anything that makes you Feel Great

Make a list, so that it is your “Go-to-list” when you are upset, depressed and need happiness.

It can be your hobby- reading/ dancing/ yoga/swimming/ shopping/painting/singing/ listening to music etc.
What? This sounds boring? You knew it?
Ok let me add a few more –
·        Surf for the most beautiful villas, balconies, farm houses and visualize your life there.
·        Surf, read or watch the exotic locations, out there in the world and visualise yourself there.
·      Don’t want to or can’t spend money though you love clothes, because of that budget– rearrange your wardrobe and your accessories. I am sure you will be surprised to discover many things, you had forgotten and are like new to you. What more! You might even bump into an idea of using a particular piece in a particular style that was lying idle in your wardrobe. Shopping accomplished!
·     Try some DIY (Do It Yourself) craft techniques to brighten up your mood, or surf some You tube videos for it.
·        Cook something exotic or you love to eat or drink.
·        Learn something; it’s all the more easier and cheaper now. Thanks to internet.

3.      Read something funny, watch a comedy or talk to people with great sense of humour. It works like a detox.

I still enjoy reading Akbar and Birbal, Tenali Raman, Tinkle etc. to my boys. The book I am reading these days is as humorous as its name “Mrs. Funnybones” by Twinkle Khanna. If you don’t like reading books, watch a comedy movie, show or web series, you will soon fill your room with laughter.

4.   Go and talk to those, who love you and care for you. Stop! Don’t blindly run after things and positions, which you feel will give you happiness. If you deserve them, you will get them.
Love and appreciate what you have - your parents, your partner, your siblings, your friends, relatives and your pets.

5.      Learn to Give - charity, sharing, the act of giving not only brings a smile on a gloomy face but  soothes our soul too, in times of despair. Try once.

Helping Pooches

"The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated." -Mahatma Gandhi Dogs are man's best friend. Loving and feeding dogs is therapeutic and soothes one's soul.  Moreover, they automatically become the guards of the house. So how do you treat the dogs around you? Some feed almost all the stray dogs around them. Some feed only black stray dogs that too... just Saturdays. Some feed them with the leftovers. Then some love them, feed them, feel them and understand them. This lot notices and tries to provide health care to them. But how many work with such dedication for stray animals? Recently I met a young chap, Mridul, who is involved in rescuing, vaccinating and treating stray dogs and puppies. He came along with a compounder to treat a stray dog who wasn't well in our lane. A neighbour who had been giving shelter to the puppies provided an old sheet to Mridul. He sat with the dog in his lap. Though the dog, Biscuit, named by the children, w...

From Caterpillar to Butterfly

Transformation is a beautiful process and we all transform but transforming from a tiny seemingly insignificant camouflaged caterpillar to a colourful spectacular butterfly intrigues almost all of us. But isn’t it the way, we all evolve and revamp our life, when we really want to? I said ‘when we want to’ because the beautiful process of transformation starts from a strong internal urge to change and work on it.  This blog is all about such beautiful evolution. So before I introduce myself, I must tell you my story, my first step towards my dreams and my transformation. So here I present my first real life story: A New Step “Let us sit here, this rock is almost like a chair.” said daddy positioning his two-wheeler on the side path of the highway. “There is neither a tea shop nor a place to relax,” replied mom holding my hands.   “Come and Relax! Look at the river cutting the rocks with force and still flowing so swiftly. Breathe in the air, you won...

Five Things That Ruined My Life

Not long back, I was a ruffled, disturbed and an unhappy being; until I learnt what I should do and what I shouldn’t. Gradually, I fathomed five things that were ruining my life and maybe yours too: 1.       Expectations :  About ten years back, I was a person who had a lot of expectations. My list of expectations was long and penetrating. I expected my brother to take good care of our old widowed mother without realizing that it was my duty too and that we should together strive to make her independent and help her love the out life again. I expected my husband to understand what I needed without even speaking out, as if he had some magical powers and would comprehend my mind. I expected my infants to become a prodigy as soon as possible but that was so until I realized that they were too small and all they needed was love to grow; and understand and explore the world before following their own passion. The day I dropped all my expect...
