Morita! A purpose centered therapy
By: Dora Reddy
Tags: Anxiety, Therapy, Médium, Self Help, Ikigai

Last week I was reading a book called “Ikigai” which means “discover the purpose of life” in Japanese, The book speaks about a beautiful concept called Morita therapy by Shoma Morita, It proved to be effective in the treatment of neurosis. Shoma Morita was a zen Buddhist who created his own purpose-centered therapy in japan.

Unlike the western forms of therapy, it doesn't focus on controlling or changing the patient’s emotions. It focuses on teaching them to accept their emotions without trying to control them and seeks to “create” new emotions based on their actions.

Shoma Morita

Principles of Morita therapy

Accept your feelings Do what you should be doing Discover your life’s purpose

The four phases of Morita therapy

The original treatment last’s for 15 to 14 days, Each day comprises the following stages:

Isolation and rest (5–7days)- During the first week, the patient rests in a room with no external stimuli (Television, books, family, or speaking with others). He spends the entire week with himself and his thoughts and his therapist visits him regularly and simply watches his emotions rise and fall; Therapist avoids interacting with the patient until the patient gets bored and wants to do something again. He is ready for the next stage. Light occupational therapy (5–7 days)- In this stage, the patient performs repetitive tasks in silence, like keeping a diary about his thoughts and feelings. doing breathing exercises, gardening, and other peaceful activities, the patient may not talk to anyone at this stage. Occupational therapy (5–7 days)- The patient performs tasks that require physical movement. Tasks such as writing, painting, or making ceramics are practiced during these stages. The patient can speak with others during this stage, but only about the tasks. The return to social life and the “real” world- The patient completes his therapy at this stage and he is free to move on to his social life but maintains the practices of meditation and occupation therapy.

The dominant idea of this therapy is to introduce the patient to society as a new person, with a sense of purpose, and without being controlled by social or emotional pressures.

I hope you learned something new today!

Mundanity lends sanity to our intangible tangle, our blah-filled moments UN-mangled, right before our bored eyes. Torrid sighs, tell sordid lies, to ourselves, about how best to occupy the shelves inside our minds intertwined as we be. At least these days, ya see. See, the mundane is our secret fun game wherein the clock struck 12, but in a timeless realm. One that WE helm the ______…EXACTLY! Fill in our blank and you’ll still not find us, lost in each other in another dimensional space, like a plotline chased only to erase the reason you ran in the first place. You’ll never flow, in this state, in which we partake, because the trick is a treat, and it’s on ‘Nothing St.', where the ‘nothing’ beats, everything else. It’s us to ourselves, in the most useless of cells, for they have no restraints on our love and no directions to taint it with others mind-framing it, and thus stealing away its ultimate ‘unique’ we lazily lay upon, whenever the heart beat, falls under our feet, while our feet retreat, from the floor, for higher shores, and our higher scores, are scored light years away from his, hers or even your doors.

Simplicity…

Quiet… Doubt…? No.

Wow. Just wow.
Thank you Benek.

Thank you Benek.

I was thrilled when I first joined Medium. Every day I was just clicking away, reading so many articles from so many indie writers, some experienced, some not, about so many topics.

Lives in nutshells, everywhere.

It inspired so many of my stories. It gave me such a sense of community, that I felt inspired even in those times when I couldn’t write a word.

I read it at home, at work. And while traveling; heck, I was even reading Medium offline, lying down with my laptop and all my pinned explorer tabs, freezing at the back of my van in Shithole, Down Under.

Then that paywall & membership thing came up, and I just ignored it because I thought it wouldn’t catch. I didn’t want to make people pay for my stories, even a cent. Gorging on stories and lives and useless, unmonetizable words was for me the whole point of Medium, it was what made it precisely genius.

Medium was what it spelled: a medium; a link; shared writing, ergo shared humanity.

But the paywall & membership thing caught. For more than a year now, every time I open a Medium tab in my explorer, my heart sinks. Virtually everyone is behind that paywall.

Also, I can’t help thinking: $5 a month may be nothing to many of “us” — aka mostly privileged and/or Western and/or White people who can afford the luxury of sipping coffee in front of a blank page at 3pm on a Tuesday. But it certainly is quite an expense for some other people in the neighborhood or in other places in the world.

And that “get paid for your writing” thing... Sounds like a rat race to me. How many of us will have sacrificed their audience, their style, their own reading time, their visibility, their soul, for a few dollars or even cents? Yeah, their soul. Am I being dramatic here? Well isn’t it precisely what writing does to us?

Honestly, how many of us make it to hundreds of dollars a month via Medium? A handful, just like everywhere else? Story of all writers’ lives since Johannes Gutenberg started to monetize Printing (spoiler: it didn’t end well, and his creditors took over).

Anyway, I kinda lost that feeling of belonging and commitment, I dropped our 4WD collection, after watching all those “stats” drop for months and losing track with Medium’s algorithm updates. Clicking “Publish” just didn’t work anymore — not outside of a Publication, not for free, not about any topic, no matter how many Followers you had. Even the people I am following don’t pop up prominently in my feed.

The worst is this: my Medium followers didn’t stop to read me and I didn’t stop to read them; we just stopped being able to see each other’s stories in time. That paywall is like fog, and you need to sign up and buy special glasses to be able to see special people in it.

Do I regret resisting that unstoppable wave? I don’t know, I’m not sure.

But I sure regret the unstoppable loss of what, imho, made Medium special, and a cut above the rest — and I do not mean in “market” terms.
Why Read A Book Summary?
Tags: Reading, Life Lessons, Médium, Features, Life

We sapiens are on a constant lookout for short cuts. A large reason why ideologies thrive is that they instil a consistency among us which will alleviate us from thinking about decisions that we have to make and instead equip us with short cuts.

A new short cut we have is ‘the summary of books’ that Amazon increasingly is suggesting when you search for a book.

So is it worth now reading a book when you can read it’s summary in 15 mins and get our dopamine dosage of intellectualism? More importantly, is reading a book summary the same as reading a book?

Here are some thoughts on book summaries.

It’s a quick hack, not that hacks are wrong or unacceptable. But they are structurally superficial.

The strength of the arguments made is lost.

You will not be inspired.

Reading summary will be the same as reading a headline of an in-depth article. That might be good for a lot of articles but in the meanwhile, you will miss the good ones.

Even if someone made a good summary, it is that person’s point of view or take away’s from that book. Or worse its most generic summary that the book can offer.

You will miss the subtext behind the text.

You will never know the personality of the author.

You would miss on your unique experience which would have absorbed and affected you.

It is the same as mugging an answer before an exam, rather than understanding and delving deep into the subject. But this might be a legitimate use case for a summary when you just want an overview of what the book is about.

Your neural network is left mostly unmodified. This to me is the biggest downside because even if you don’t remember every book you read, it would slightly alter the way you think and the subject gets ingrained in you at a subtextual level.

You will only get the conclusions, not the reasoning. Summary does not help your long term reasoning skill on the given subject.

Finally, a good summary is a different book.

P.S — This is not a suggestion, just an opinion. Find yours.

The ‘Will’ of Bode Express at the 2019 Preakness!
By: Alex Garrett
Tags: Breaking News, Life Lessons, Preakness Stakes, Médium, Horse Racing

So why did Bode Express steal the show at this year’s Preakness Stakes? Is it because unfortunately Johnny Velazquez was thrown off and it was amusing to watch the 2 year old run by himself? I don’t think it was just that!

While it is great and vindicating that War of Will won the Preakness, can we talk about the Will of Bode Express?

Bode demonstrates, in my opinion, the ‘working class hero’ as John Lennon sings. Bode rolled up his hoofs, said I GOT THIS and literally competed down the stretch of the Preakness !

He embodied what every human strives to be: the self-sufficient, having it all together, when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade type of mentality . Did it make you think, how can a a 2 yr. old horse keep his cool the whole way? I hope so because that cool way is something we can all pick up on.

As humans we fall apart at the slightest inconvenience or slightest thing going wrong. Maybe Bode today is beloved because he did not crumble! We too, don’t have to crumble, just do what Bode did and run on in this God-given journey known as life!

That is all for now! Talk soon on Medium!

To be courageous
Tags: Women, Poem, Courage, Life Lessons, Médium

To be courageous

To be courageous is to say no when it truly fits the situation

To be courageous is to believe in self when nobody does

To be courageous is to have space in your mind for yourself along with the whole world, to see that you are not neglecting yourself because the world is doing the same to you but still you are compassionate enough to help the world

To be courageous is to poke people who are mean to women

To be courageous is to have faith in your dreams, that they might be nothing for others but they mean the world to you

To be courageous is to leave a situation when it pulls you down, leave those people who pull you down because they know what they are doing and making them believe otherwise won’t help the situation much

To be courageous is to find those tiny moments of strength and holding them close to your heart

To be courageous is to pamper yourself when nobody even thinks of it

To be courageous is to say no to overwork

To be courageous is to find yourself alone without anyone’s help

To be courageous is to stand tall even when it is difficult and even when nobody wants to see you rise

To be courageous is to not belittle yourself, even if you do by mistake you make up for it and stand tall again

This world is not easy on anyone, dreams shatter, perceptions change, you grow and grow some more each day.
ZBrush and badly named characters.
By: Richa Sharma
Tags: Documentaion, 3d Art, Character Design, Zbrush, Médium

Intentionally or not, I’ve been the “art” kid for as long as I can remember. It wasn't exactly a prodigy situation. I just happened to be in a class full of people who couldn't draw I guess. I can't tell you if my interest in art is deep-rooted or if it's just something that's attached to my sense of self at this point.

As a clueless graduate, I decided to choose a career that landed in my comfort zone of sorts. I like to think that I have a fairly good sense of aesthetics and I appreciate good design work but after working towards the same goal myself, I realized I didn't feel the optimistic excitement that I was expecting. After a point, the idea of working on something was dreadful even. There are multiple factors contributing to this, of course, the lack of guidance, burnout from jumping in headfirst, not so pleasant job experiences, and a bunch of other stuff.

In conclusion, I figured I’ll just try my hand at something else.

A good amount of time spent on Pinterest suggested that my love for illustration exceeded my love for graphic design. After a few failed attempts, more burnouts, and some more time on Pinterest, another category of work stepped up to beat my love for illustration.

Character design and Concept art.

My photoshop art phase didn't last long. I picked it up fast and the learning curve wasn't steep at all but I noticed the burnouts came faster and lasted longer. I could spend hours scrolling through digital art pieces online in absolute awe but figuring out what to draw was incredibly draining, which I thought was normal because the comic strips about ArTIst PrOBleMs said so.

But it's not. It's not normal to force yourself to produce work that's not fulfilling. I came to this realization after I stumbled across a character sculpt by follygon. It’s almost weird how I hadn't looked into 3D art before that. It's everywhere. I just wasn't looking. I started learning ZBrush somewhere around the start of this year and honestly, I’ve never been so invested in something before. It just… makes sense in some odd way.

I’m not sure how long this newfound interest will last but for now, I’m enjoying making characters and giving them bad names.

These are my sculpts so far.

Weight loss tips: Adele’s secret revealed | Diet and Exercise | Sirtfood diet
Tags: Food, Diet, Weight Loss, Médium, Sirtfood Diet

According to the reports,International singing sensation Adele looks incredible in her instagram shot,known to have lost about seven stone (44 kg) showing remarkable transformation after losing weight.



Singer Adele is a Grammy Award-winning artist whose throwback, soulful sound has made her an international success with hits like “Rolling in the Deep,” “Someone Like You” and “Hello.”



The “Hello” singer posted the picture to thank her fans for their birthday wishes as she turned 32.

Adele looks incredible in her social media post!! #instagramshot

Goodis replies,her one-time Pilates instructor Camila Goodis recently revealed that 50 per cent of her remarkable transformation was due to the diet she followed — sirtfood diet.



What is sirtfood diet?



Launched originally in 2016, the Sirtfood diet remains a hot topic and involves followers adopting a diet rich in ‘sirtfoods’. According to the diet’s founders, these special foods work by activating specific proteins in the body called sirtuins. Sirtuins are believed to protect cells in the body from dying when they are under stress and are thought to regulate inflammation, metabolism and the aging process. It’s thought that sirtuins influence the body’s ability to burn fat and boost metabolism, resulting in a seven pound weight loss a week while maintaining muscle. However, some experts believe this is unlikely to be solely fat loss, but will instead reflect changes in glycogen stores from skeletal muscle and the liver.

What can you eat on the Sirtfood Diet?

The Sirtfood Diet headline-grabbers are red wine and dark chocolate, because they both happen to be high in sirtuin activators.



Though obviously that’s not the whole picture and you won’t feel the effects by mainlining Merlot and Green & Blacks (more’s the pity).
Parsili Resort — Sanjay Dubri National Park

Tags: Travel, India, Madhya Pradesh, Médium, Parsili

Parsili Resort is situated at the Shores of River Banas in Sanjay Dubri Tiger Reserve, in the State of Madhya Pradesh.

The Parsili is a Serene Town, away from the Hustle-Bustle of the City Life, in the Calm & Lust Green Nature. The Area of the Park is about 1500 Sq. Kilometers. Basically, Parsili is sited in Sal Forest, but there are Ranges of High Quality of Bamboo is Common. It is Home to many Exotic Species of Animals and Birds. The Tiger Density has never been So High, in this Park. But, In Recent Times, Due to Proper Conservation, the Counts has Increased.

Places to Visit

Sanjay Dubri Tiger Reserve

It is one of the Perfect Wildlife Destination in the State of the Madhya Pradesh. This Wildlife Heaven is sited in the District of Sidhi & Singrauli, of Madhya Pradesh. This Thick Forest was declared as the National Park in 1981, when the State Government realized that Protection of its Very Rich and Exotic Flora & Fauna needs to be Protected.

At that Time, It was named as Sanjay National Park but Later Dubri Wildlife Sanctuary collaborated with it and formed “Sanjay Dubri National Park”. The Park consists of a Number of Rivers, Streams and other Eternal Sources of Water, which fulfils the Need of Water for the Animals and Birds.

The Forest recently allowed Access to Tourists to enter into the Rich Diversity of Woods, beneath the Lush Sunshade of Forests. It was mainly a Paradise for Biologists and Conservationists. The Trees looks like Dancing on the Rhythm of the Breeze. The Silence is disconnected by the Unusual Voices of Birds.

Madhya Pradesh consists the Wildest Parts in its Tiger Reserves. Like, River Ken formed a Natural Canyon at Raneh Falls, which looks Deep around 100 Feet and its 6 Kilometers long. Its Too Wild, formed by Granite Rocks. Well, River Ken flows from the Ken Gharial Sanctuary.

Congrats, Katie Porter. Once again, we realize that language is more effective when we use through mind and sense.

When the years pass, I realize better why I’m not too fond of Mathematics; also, my brain is not working in that part. Actually, the real reason is that which I found, number or figures whatever we say, it seems not adequate to indicate the whole picture to me. When we use the numbers, I feel that we are reducing life to numbers. Because the numbers also were a part of a questionable area for me. That is the reason why I do not associate with the figures and plurality to within my brain. However, this video demonstrates to me how we use mathematics to create meaning of it.

Quotes of the speech

Katie Porter: ‘‘Dr Redfield, I hope that the answer is heavily on you because this going to weigh very heavily.’’

Dr Redfield: ‘‘I think you are excellent questioner. My answer is yes. ’’

Porter’s attitude is crucial every aspect of life; we need to use this attitude on other issues a global and regional scale. I am not willing to race pains but when we consider a lot of problems that have been ignored for a long time as our agenda is open to manipulate in terms of strategy, accounts applied by governments, countries and media. In particular, we remain silent for the pain of some geography. There are children, people, stories are growing under the war for years. What are we going to do them? As we know, some topics become invisible as the agenda changes both nationally and globally; therefore, people are getting stuck in this dilemmas, I hope Porter’s attitude guides us…
Ghosts Part 4: Psychic Abilities
By: Meredith Mccalmon
Tags: Readings, Psychic, Médium, Clairvoyant, Divination

What is a psychic medium? A psychic medium is someone with a special ability to communicate with spirits on the other side. Mediums do not directly speak with spirits, rather they sense information from the spirits. Licensed medium Kellee White says, “There is no such thing as death. There is only a transition from the physical being to the spiritual being… and mediums are sensitive and intuitive enough to hear, feel, and see information coming from the other side.”

How do mediums communicate with spirits? Some mediums may choose to communicate with a spirit by being a “vessel” to spirits and allowing their bodies to be taken over by spirits that need human communication. Most mediums, however, are simply sensitive enough to the spirit world that they can sense how a spirit feels, and pick up on messages to relay to the living.

Other Types of Psychics:

Mediums are the most widely known type of psychic. However, there are other psychic abilities, each with their own different skill.

Astral Projection- The ability to cast your own consciousness outside of your physical body and travel anywhere, including through solid matter.

Clairaudience- The ability to hear beyond the natural human perception to pick up sounds such as spirit voices, or sounds of inanimate objects such as crystals or artifacts.

Claircognizance- The ability to know things without having prior knowledge on the topic, and to understand that these things are true without a doubt.

Clairvoyance- The ability to see the past, present, and future, as well as non physical things such as spirits, without their physical eyesight.

Clairsentience- The ability to sense the presence of a spirit or non physical being.

Divination Tools

Divination- Using natural signs to find answers to certain questions, such as tarot, tea leaves, or pendulums.

Psychic Empathy- The ability to feel others emotions and physical pain involuntarily. This is different than just having empathy because psychic empaths can pick up someones pain without any verbal or social cues. They often can simply sense the energy of a room they’re in.

How Medium keeps conquering readers?

How Medium keeps conquering readers?

Medium is the best medium to read and write and it is spreading like fire!

The word of the WhatsApp mouth is enough to win new readers who turn into new subscribers. Initially, I thought it was costly and then I pondered about the learnings it brings along. I read a lot and always thought of writing. But I was not sure about the platform that I would I choose to write. Paper is fast becoming boring. And then I got introduced to Medium.

I just pick up my phone and start typing my stories on Medium. I keep accumulating stories as drafts and publish those whose content is ready! This also allows me to move back and forth just like my wandering thoughts!

Medium keeps me busy while I am waiting at a restaurant for my order or my turn inside a clinic/hospital.

Medium made the fonts so readable and almost inspiring for authors to write with some great options like a default Title font, double quotes, bullet points, @, attachment of pictures and you just keep wondering how simple they made it.

How I condition myself before I get back to work.

I got a stable job that can sustain my financial needs and my personal stuff. I am one of those healthcare workers who have never stopped battling the covid crisis. Last year, I worked non-stop. Trying my best to help out the way I can. I even woke up past midnight to attend a work call and go right away to the hospital to deal with patient needs. Honestly, I'm exhausted to the point that my body wants to give up on its own. Until now, the situation is not totally vanished, but at some point, I'm happy to see that scenario is gradually controllable by mandating all people to get vaccinated.

After more than a month of having a break approved by our head department, I redeemed myself a strength, a healthy mindset, and body as well. For those 45 days to be count exactly, I engaged myself in reading some of the books online. Inspirational and Romantic books are a good choice for me. It helps to relax my mind and boost my mood to positivity. I'll have to make sure to get enough sleep to avoid my immune system down. Choosing the right diet is also crucial. A perfect combination of eating vegetables, fruits, an exact portion of meats, and taking vitamins every day to achieve a healthy mind and strong body. I also do light exercises like walking 30 minutes to 1 hour in the evening sometimes. I can say my body is just fine, slim. No need to break a leg to achieve perfect body goals.

Social interaction is needed too. We all needed this type of interaction. My family is living in a different country. Traveling at this moment is too risky, but my family and I do make sure to keep in touch always through the Facebook messenger app. I opted to stay where I am right now since I don't have important things to deal with back home. Their health safety is my number one priority.

Catching up with my friend is one of my way not to feel left out. We went out to have a coffee to discuss things and share some thoughts. Emptiness and lack of comfort can lead us to a serious illness. Because of pandemics and changing the new variants of the virus, we are living under tight restrictions surroundings are one factor that put us under pressure; We felt anguished, frustrated, depressed, and unmotivated:

We don't want those types of behavior. Unhealthy and lifeless. I train my mind to be optimistic to move forward and getting used to what we have right now. Complaining, bursting into anger, and blaming one person or the government for what's happening will not do good for us. It will make our life more miserable. Promoting unity and understanding that's all we should execute to help to end the crisis.

Requesting a time break for ourselves in whatever we are engaged in is one of our privileges to ask for. Work is top in the list and contributing factor why we are behaving differently because we are exhausted. Rebooting ourselves is pretty needed so that we can function well again. That's why taking a rest is necessary for all of us.

Medium Has Turned Us All Into Attention Seekers

Photo by Dương Trần Quốc on Unsplash

Now I have to start by saying, I love Medium, it has given me the confidence to write.

As much as it has boosted my confidence, however, it has also made me doubt myself.

The latest discussion

The drop in Medium Partner Payments. Many writers are complaining of less revenue this month. I have to say I feel for these writers.

Does this affect me, the answer is no? The answer is no because I have never earned a considerable amount on Medium.

Excellent writers who started after me are earning considerable funds. Jun Wu and Greg Price are two that instantly jump to mind. These writers have found the magic formula. I devour most things they write. Both are worth a follow.

Addicted to Numbers

This is not the only area where Medium has us addicted to the numbers. Reads, views and claps are another obsession for many.

When I started I was obsessed with checking the stats, sometimes five times a day. Then I relaxed, now I am back to my addiction, of stats viewing.

Claps are the most contentious issue on Medium. How some claps provide huge reward and others don’t. Many readers don’t even realise they have 50 claps at their disposal. I’m sure some readers don’t even realise you can clap. For my part, I clap every person I read. I don’t always clap the full 50, but I always show my appreciation for their work.

Everyone has their own system for clapping, we could start a debate for the next 50 years on clapping alone.

My advice, clap whatever your system.

Curating

I have had a few pieces curated. One was a flippant piece I wrote about the Titanic.

I never know my posts have been curated, until I check. Medium hates sending me any good news. Curating emails and top writer emails never appear.

Now the discussion has started on how writers are curated. What is the benchmark for our stories to be recognised? The guidelines are very vague.

Once again some writers are curated regularly, others are not.

What gives some writers the golden touch whilst others flounder.

It almost feels that Medium has set some writers up to succeed and others to fail.

The Effects on Our Writing

This is the single biggest fact that affects our writing. We are writing for curators, writing for claps and writing for stats. We have forgotten to write for the readers and write for ourselves. We question every decision to fulfil the expectations of a system no one understands.
Growth Mindset

Growth Mindset

The human brain is something that can accommodate anything provided you allow it to do that. I am saying this because right now my brain has a lot of things that am learning that I never thought I can learn.

Let me just give you a little bit of experience of what I am going through right now learning new things. So last year November, I heard about this software company called Andela while at work so I decided to apply for a software developer job that was being advertised. Fortunately, my application was accepted and I received an email with the Homestudy Material that is meant to prepare their candidates for subsequent application process until you get the job there. By the way, they are really good at responding to emails and their communication is better.

After two weeks of home studying, they sent the test which was based on the material they had sent me. I did the test passed and came another one that required technical coding skills. I had some little knowledge of the skills so I had to learn the programming language that I was supposed to use in order to work on the test. It was a struggle but I managed to do the test. After a day I received an email invitation to interview and as I said they communicate as faster as possible. So I went for the interview, the experience there was good. They review the code and then a one on one session answering some general questions.

I thank God that the process went well for me until I was invited to the Bootcamp. I never thought this stage was as hard as I thought. But before the actual Bootcamp, there was a two weeks workshop.

This stage is where I started facing challenges learning new things. First, within those two weeks, you are given a project which you are supposed to submit before the period ends. The project was supposed to be made using the programming language that I had never used. I had to take my time to learn much of the things within that short time. I had sleepless nights trying to learn at the same time developing the project to meet the deadline. The workshop facilitator keeps you on the run because at the end of the day you have to deliver certain outputs.

This was the most challenging learning experience I have ever have. I had to train my body, my mind and my brain to adapt to this life. Have you ever learned new things within the shortest time at the same time you are required to use whatever you have learned to build something that you have never built?. This was me! After those two weeks, I was successfully selected to the actual Bootcamp which will go for another two weeks. Even as I write this blog post am still in Bootcamp still learning as I pray that this process goes successfully.

By now I feel confident and proud of myself. I feel like I have learned a lot since this process started. I took me much time, perseverance and positive mindset to reach this stage. I would like to tell other youths out there, that never fear failure or mistakes that you do. You should always struggle no matter what.
The Switch

Assalam O Alakium Everyone!

Hope you are doing okay.

Today is the day that I announce that this is from now on my new blogging site. Any new articles would be posted here, the same way as I used to do on Quora.

All things aside, but why did I switch from Quora to Medium? Why did I leave my 70k+ views? Why did I leave afterall?

And the main reason for doing that is the introduction of spaces on Quora. Quora has introduced a new feature called “Spaces”. It is basically your blogs being converted into something alot more public and open ended. What really happens with that is now anyone, literally anyone can post, see and edit to your space and gain from there. As you all know I am a lot more personalized person, and thus required a lot more personal blog, where I can post as I want with no further modifications to be made by anyone but me. What will I do about the 70k+ views? Well, its not something that worries me alot. I have gained a lot of experience over the course of last two years of posting on Quora regularly and that has given me this chance to start once more. This time even better. I see it as a new challenge and with time in hand, it’ll be pretty enjoyable I’m sure.

That’s all for today. Stay tuned for more blogs right here; ON MEDIUM DOT COM!
From in regards to yourself to exonerating a friend, or managing your associations — here are 31 things every youngster or young woman should be told
Tags: Best Practices, Women In Tech, Writers On Writing, Médium, Womens Rights

1) Dignity is huge. In no way ever make any compromises on that count. Do whatever it takes not to allow anyone to belittle you.

2) Stand up for yourself. Likewise, reliably support what is right. It isn’t simply basic to be OK, yet notwithstanding help extraordinary.

3) Have a goal. It doesn’t have any effect in case you change it on the way. These are accomplishments in transit to your veritable goal.

4) Keep a step-by-step plan. Respect and utilize the time you have; don’t think little of it.

5) Give yourself a magnanimous consistently unbiased — respect someone. Treat that as a gift to yourself –

6) Things that are helpfully cultivated are not actually great. The best goes with resilience and forbearance. Fulfillment and accomplishment follow troublesome work and arranging.

7) Try not to push. Things that seem memorable alright as of now will seem, by all accounts, to be minuscule and unessential later on.

8) Tomorrow is another day — almost nothing you did is awful to the point that it can’t be bettered the next day.

9) Don’t hurt others. You will not exonerate yourself.

10) Don’t take a stab at winning every dispute. Permit others to win sometimes; they will love you for it.

11) Don’t respond immediately. Consistently take as much time as is expected to consider before you react.

12) Do not worry about changing your point of view. As you create and procure experience you will without a doubt change perspectives and decisions.

13) In our present reality where electronic media demands second responses, don’t uncover your heart so anybody may see with their own eyes! By being vocal with respect to your opinions, you may allow a passing inclination to check you for a lifetime.

14) Distance yourself from an issue for a fresher perspective. Likewise, as the world looks more magnificent from a plane, things will give off an impression of being better from a decent way.

15) Not everything is about you. Make an effort not to imagine people are zeroing in on you. Consistently it is about them, not concerning you.

16) Never achieve something your gut alerts you against in light of the fact that someone is packing you. Follow your tendency.
A toast to the economy

Relaxation on alcohol consumption:

When we talk about four pillars of democracy building economy is one of them and other would be degrading media standards. Since the coronavirus outbreak happened in India the only thing rising in market is prices and people from their beds who are going out and standing in queues to buy liquor, when economy has been scattered into tiny pieces these hundreds and thousands of people who are rebuked as ‘’drunkards’’ are saving it (that’s what they think and conscious minds of politicians) , yesterday a relative called my father and very proudly bragged about how he bought liquor worth up to 30k, how ironic it is that people have money to buy liquor and all sorts of thing but when it comes to helping others they just refuse, coming back to alcohol the government of India finally opened the liquor stores on 4th may and as the news broke hundreds of people hit the streets with their ‘’jhola’’ in one hand.

After 40 days of lock down when almost everything is at halt only liquor shops gets opened, but the question arises why government did this? Because liquors are the biggest source of income within a day states earned 700 crore, generally states levy excise duty some states like Tamil Nadu also imposed VAT ( value added tax) and few states like Uttar Pradesh has imposed special duty on liquor to collect funds for special purposes which is why it earned 100 crore on the opening day furthermore other states like Karnataka earned 197 crore the highest in a day followed by Maharashtra 62 crore so basically it’s ‘let’s wine before die’.

But there is twist in the story online delivery of alcohol, seriously! that’s just bad business. Restaurant aggregator and food delivery website app ZOMATO is aiming to start delivering alcohol at doorsteps the CEO MOHIT GUPTA told Reuters ‘we believe that technology enabled home delivery based solution can promote responsible consumption of alcohol, to areas that are relatively less affected by COVID-19’. Clearly they just want to ease the burden.

It’s not the best of time it is worst of time and by giving leverage on intoxicated products like alcohol we are surely leading to worst scenario there are numerous ways to cope up, rebuild things again but this step is re-breaking spirits of doctors who are working tirelessly and of all those people who are fighting against this apocalyptic diseases by staying inside so to all those people who think drinking is worth anything, Amen.
Healing is Messy

Healing is Messy

Photo by Aliyah Jamous on Unsplash

It takes a few seconds or a few words to let someone in your heart but takes the whole life to get them out.

It’s OK! If you thought by ending your relationship, you’ll forget everything. But it still gives you the flashbacks.

It’s OK! If you thought you’ll never think about it. But you can’t think of anything else except that.

It’s OK! If you thought by removing him from your heart would end-up everything. But you can’t throw him out of your head.

It’s OK! To fall apart even after you thought, you had it under control.

You are not weak!

You are not a loser!

It’s just that you can’t fix the time for the healing process. Because healing is messy.

Still, you don’t need to feel sorry for yourself. Instead of that, change the whole perspective of love & clear your vision to see the positivity here.

By staying, they become your strength, and by leaving, they become the reason behind your strength. Time doesn’t matter, what matters is the impact, they leave on your life.

You can either curse them all the time and put your own heart on fire or you can still choose to love them for giving you this beautiful feeling-the feeling of love, that many people wish to have.

The choice is yours!
