Life and its style

As we come to the end of this year, it's the right time to look back and reflect and realize that  "The little things in life; were the big things.”  Throughout the day or week, your routine is most likely set and the little things happening during that time are the ones that are making a difference. L ittle things give hope and strength for doing more and doing better it builds trust in you and other people. Notice the little things around. Notice the small things that give you happiness, even if it is a minute short. If something makes your soul smile, note it and make sure you include it as part of your routine. Life is made up of moments and if you can collect these moments you will never feel alone. When there are days when nothing seems right and everything seems messy. The work, the relationships, the mind everything seems difficult and hard. On these days you need to bring in the things that would require no effort to give you some strength to go through these days. Th...

I have always been a fan of Japanese culture, In Japan, broken objects are often repaired with gold to embrace the flaws and cracks of the object which makes it more beautiful afterward, and here we will talk about one such practice: Wabi Sabi .  Wabi-sabi is an elegant philosophy that denotes a more connected way of living—a lifestyle, where we are deeply connected to nature, and thus, better connected to our truest inner selves. For example, if you paint a wall white perfectly even a single dent or dust can vanish its so-called perfection and degrades its value but if that particular thing is not so perfect for you but is comfortable in itself then no matter what obligations and standard implied on it can disturb its peace. Wabi-sabi is a concept that motions us to constantly search for beauty in imperfection and accept the more natural cycle of life. It reminds us that all things including us and life itself, are impermanent, incomplete, and imperfect. Perfection, then, is impos...

We all cried when we were babies. But now that we're adults, many of us often try to hold back our tears in the belief that crying - particularly at work or in public - is seen as a sign of weakness, or as something to be ashamed of. But is it?   Crying is the body’s way to let go of heaviness and reduce emotional stress but also process it. Think of emotions as an invisible force moving through the body. People tend to think that just because they cannot see or feel their feelings when they refuse to feel them, they simply go away. Unfortunately, that just isn’t true… Crying is a sign of strength because it is a demonstration of a completely comfortable relationship with the self. Choosing to cry and feel is a choice in the interest of one’s emotional health. Choosing to cry is also choosing not to care about the opinions of others.  Crying also helps set an example for others. Especially in recovery when peers are struggling to connect with, articulate, and express their own...

  Some days, your inner voice is relentless. Some days, it's downright rude. When your self-criticism takes over, it hurts. It doesn't make you feel good. It rarely helps you perform better at the moment. It also kills your curiosity and passion  and makes it hard to sustain effort over time.  It happens to everyone. We all can have a harsh inner critic at times. Silencing your inner critic is the ultimate sign of strength. It's one big step toward being more focused and effective. To start your journey toward personal growth, you’ll need to understand the meaning of self-criticism and where it comes from. What's self-criticism? The word criticism is synonymous with judgment, opinion, and assessment. Self-criticism means directing all this evaluation toward yourself. The origins of self-criticism are in our early relationships in our childhood. A tendency toward self-criticism can result from:  Bad romantic relation Peer pressure at school Demanding teac...

 At the core of a lot of our difficulties is a lack of trust- especially a lack of trust in ourselves.  Think about these common difficulties that most of us face: What to focus on: we don't trust our hearts to choose what we would like to work on right now. Indecision: we get stuck on indecision because we don't trust ourselves to choose what we really want, and we don't trust ourselves to land on our feet if things turn out differently than we had hoped. Procrastination\ Resistance: We feel resistance to a difficult task and then avoid it, resulting in procrastination, because we don't trust ourselves to be with the discomfort or trust ourselves to handle whatever comes after doing the task (handle criticism, judgment, or any other potential consequences) Finding focus: often when we try to focus on something we feel pulled away in a thousand directions by things we need to take care of because we don't trust ourselves to take care of those things later. if yo...
