My World Today

I have a mixed feeling of the world we are in today. As an individual, my routine has been so much at fingertips. When in need of food, clothing or cosmetics I get it with a click of a button. Do I want to spend time with my family, I bring them all under one single cloud to have a video call and share our days. Do I want to entertain myself, I get to just chill on my couch and Netflix.

                           But as I shift my individuality into roles that's when I get these mixed feelings. As a mother, the world today made me the mother I never wanted to be. The pressure on parents  to take care of their child's well being as well as their education is not a norm that you could have watched and learned through experience because its never happened before. The continuous expectation on your child to excel and perform in a certain way and be in good books takes a toll on you and that ultimately becomes an obsession and most likely the target you need to achieve. As disgusting as it sounds it really isn't a great feeling to be in.

                            So ideally on one hand you are as chilled as a teenager but on the other you are evolving into someone you don't recognize anymore. This world today literally takes you through thick and thin alike, light and darkness alike, real and virtual alike. But honestly this varied sense of happiness and suffering that I get to see around the world, hear and experience from the world has been an intense process of learning. The best education you could have that no one can teach than the world in itself.

                            Each one of us have already lost our near or far loved ones or scared to lose. The fear, anxiety, stress that we go through does also bring us content, happiness and a sense of acceptance of life. We all have become a better being, a better human , a better oneself for the world that our younger generation would get to live. So I am certain I am living in the best times of the world that I can be in.

Power of being positive

by -

The power of being positive is incredibly remarkable. Being positive simply brings out the happiness and gratitude in you. It makes it seemingly easy to appreciate others and the vibe makes us cherish that day.                              Being positive not only helps our mind to stay calm but also keeps our physical well being at ease. It helps us to manage our stress or any such negative influence rather than the stress managing us. We can possibly view any situations in our daily life in its most serene way which will help us put forward constructive ideas to deal with them. To stay positive does not limit to putting up a smile the first thing in the morning. It is to look at yourself and around you and observe the blessings you own. Be grateful for the least significant and the most significant with equal recognition. Say a thanks to yourself as loudly or quietly as comfortable you are. Try to be warm to yourself and to anyone you meet. We never know what the other person has been

People-pleasing

  The Hidden roots of people-pleasing: Unravelling early childhood and small trauma Did you know that that people-pleasing behavior often stems from early childhood experiences and can be traced back to what can be considered as small traumas? Well it does! The compulsion to please others and seek their approval often develops from the upbringing of being told to look and behave in a certain way. But here's the secret: Its entirely unnecessary.  You know why? The Truth about pleasing others You might be wondering why its so unnecessary. Simple. Because everybody is occupied dealing with their own issues. Nobody got time to analyze or scrutinize your every action or question your choices including the times when you had to say "NO" for your opinion.  People are wrapped up with their daily physical and emotional challenges. And if at all you catch someone reacting to what's considered "non-pleasing" behavior its definitely  not on you. Spend some quality time

Gentle parenting

  Never thought I would say this. But gentle parenting is tough. Period.  We read a lot about gentle parenting and am convinced that its more demanding in practice than in theory. After all, we are not parenting a human-shaped toy. We get to deal with actual human beings who can yell at the top of their lungs and flop on to the floor as though the cold floor gives them the warmth of a blanket, all because of a simple two letter word "NO"! A "NO" that's it. Not sure why children despise that word so much, although it appears vulnerable and assertive to the adults at the same time. For starters, parenting in itself is one of most exhausting phases of life, let alone the "gentle". It often feel like you need the mindfulness, resilience and patience of a monk to deal with this. Well, in our twenties and thirties, do we chase our dreams and savor our life to the fullest or embark on a monastic journey! Jokes apart, whether you choose to have a child or not,
