Have you ever found yourself with compulsive thoughts? — Maybe about a situation that is anxiety inducing, or a relationship that is causing distress or a job that is causing stress? You are not alone, and this article will provide you with a practical tool to help you organize your thoughts and focus on constructive mental activity.
Our mind thinks a thought every damn second. Literally — just pause and observe your mind for the next 20 seconds. How many thoughts crossed your mind?
With so many things happening around us, we are in a state of constant stimulation from…
We are human ‘be’ings and not human doings. Our true nature as recounted by many sages is to be. To be in tune and alignment with our feelings and emotions.
With so much upheaval happening all around us, irrespective of the part of the globe we are in, it is becoming imperative that we give conscious communication its due.
Conscious communication is the ability to respond to a person or situation instead of reacting to it. …
I sat with my avocado toast and coffee this morning to listen to Robin Sharma. In between stuffed mouthfuls, I heard him say something that slowed down my chomping —
“In order to heal a wound, you need to feel a wound”
I came to realize in my early 30s that the need to always do something stemmed from a desire to not feel the uncomfortable. I had lived 3 decades and that meant I had not only seen success, encouragement and love, but also heartache. I loved the former, felt acutely uncomfortable with the latter.
You are seen to…
We all live by a value system. I am not talking about the values passed down generations in the family. I am talking about the values of you as an individual. I am here to make a case for values to be an essential part of recruiting, task allocation and employee development.
To dive deeper and understand your value system, look back at two instances in your life. We will call them direct and indirect –
A. Direct: one where you were extremely happy, free and in the flow. You did not need time management tools or focus apps to…
It’s not what you do once every year that is going to allow you to live a legendary life, it’s what you do every single day — Robin Sharma
I live in New York City and the pace of the Big Apple can sometimes drive you versus you driving your life. Over the past year I came up with 5 simple daily habits which help me live those moments more consciously and productively.
I was a night person — would sleep past midnight and struggle to get up in the morning. My mornings were rushed with enough time to get…
Friends talked about matters so grave
The boys they craved
The families they wanted
Goals they flaunted
She sat, she heard
Held on hard, trying to stay
But piecemeal drifting away
She did not grasp
The desperation for someone to clasp
She felt lost
Among the programmed lot
The resolute search for ‘the one’
A partner to complete
When all they needed
Has been right within their being
She wished for a world
Where conversations unfurled
To realms beyond the seen
Whimsical and free
Maybe she will find her tribe
The ones who break the order
And bravely ponder
Beyond life’s pre-knit seams
To untethered dreams
When you begin to come undone
There are things to unlearn
Skins to shed
Beliefs put to bed
………………………….
You might feel forlorn
With so much of the past to mourn
But the universe is right there with you
Standing and watching as you bid adieu
To the life that was
…………………………
You can’t see
But the universe rejoices
As you pick up the pieces
Choosing a new way of living
You are a freaking unicorn
One of a kind, being reborn
…………………………
Yes, the universe is watching you
You, who is not a caterpillar
Not yet a butterfly either
My beautiful evolving friend
You are loved as you ascend
Closer to the divine
And all that there is
Organizations have a crisis management plan for dealing with extraordinary scenarios such as cyber attack, natural disaster, etc. The idea is that a crisis calls for operating outside of ‘business-as-usual’ by implementing new operating procedures that would allow for the business to continue with minimal disruption and restore service.
So, lets apply this to friendships. Your loved one (a friend) goes through a crisis situation, or maybe multiple situations. The circumstances are not usual and standard operating procedures do not apply any more.
For your friend to continue without minimal disruption to life and restore normalcy, there is a need…
My marriage ended. My precious volunteering sabbatical did not go as planned. After conscious intentions and planning, I find myself right where I was a few months back when I started a transformation journey in an Indian village. That hurt.
Being adventurous, charting my own way, listening to my inner voice — did NOT heal me. Just this once, I needed something else. Something more predictable.
My friends, though well meaning, are unable to truly empathize. They would rather hop around in lightness, while I would sit in front of a candle and mull over what the F happened.

There are signs and we ignore them — many times due to societal conditioning that teaches us to adjust. However, there are some key signs in an argument that will point clearly to a self-centered and highly narcissist partners. Here is a short three pointer guide to recognize one
“It is all your fault”, “You spoiled my life”, “You turned my life upside down”. Sound familiar?
In order to see our accountability in a situation, we need to think from another person’s perspective. Narcissists lack the ability to think of anyone else. As a result, narcissist partners do not have…
