Although 1 in 3 of our lives pass through sleep, our movements during the day are related to our sleep quality. Usually, 6–9 hours of sleep is enough for the average adult. When we get our sleep, we are less nervous, we are more likely to focus, and it is possible that we remember better, especially the information we have learned.

Did you know that the alarm is set not only to wake up, but also to sleep ?

But nowadays, there are common sleeping problems such as too much sleep or too little sleep. There are many factors that reduce our sleep quality, from mental problems to physical disorders. For example, some people who have mental health problems cannot fall asleep immediately. They are worried about whether they will be able to grow what they are going to do tomorrow. In addition, some people are conditioning themselves by saying that “I am pretty sure that I cannot sleep tonight.” The mind is like a computer. It takes everything serious that comes out of the mouth. Even if it is a joke. So we have to pay attention to the sentences we establish.
Deficient, unworthy, a failure, convinced you are not good enough.

Deficient, unworthy, a failure, convinced you are not good enough.

A pocket of shame to sit in, caressing a notion that you are isolated, you are alone in your suffering and this was caused by something you missed out on or something you did.

Engulfed by an inescapable chrysalis of alienation, anxiety, depression, aggression, guilt, the shame of not being good enough.

A person.

.

.

.

Then the others,

Maybe even the one standing next to you, maybe even your significant other.

Maybe the above is the very reason you’re attracted to them.

They stand there just like yourself, deficient, insufficient, inadequate. But instead of receding into the pocket of shame, they attempt to pick up all their appendages that don’t fit; Careful not to aggravate the wounds that won’t heal, whilst they hold close their own personal chest of secrets, and they try to carry on.

Bite the bottom lip and steamroll through the unknown.

Across a broken and ragged landscape, (possibly not that different from your own mind) they drag themselves over the surface, skimming the days, the weeks, the months, the years, trying to hold it all together as best they know how. Goals to leave this barren desert wasteland behind them, the barren wasteland they currently find themselves upon.

Racing for productivity, efficiency, to repel against the drag they create for themselves by lugging all the baggage across this desert.

Racing through this desert, skimming over the surface. Racing through life, skimming over the days.

.

.

.

Either way, either person, they (maybe you) are a prisoner and victim of self-judgment.

Beyond the ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing, there’s a field.

I’ll meet you there…

Enoughness
Tags: Love Yourself, This Is 40, Acceptance, Gratitude, 40

I began this journey long ago,

Quite unsure, steps unsteady.

But now I see through different eyes,

A new lens that just wasn’t ready.

Eyes that have seen a thousand suns,

Beaches, hillsides, works of art.

Yet I see now a different view,

Than I would have at the start.

Alone with my voices,

What I’ve told myself is true.

Not always kind, I realize now.

Reality askew.

This tummy bore my son,

Warmed with food I love to savor.

Some of life’s greatest pleasures,

As I’ve hung on every flavor.

Once something to be scrutinized,

These legs have walked the earth.

Wondrous lands both near and far,

For 40 years since my birth.

My toenails lost their polish,

But they’re tickled by the waves on the shore.

All around me paint is chipping,

But these walls hold something more.

Tattered blanket soft with wear,

Buttered velvet to the touch.

Coffee mug from the Village Dollar Store,

Nothing makes me smile as much.

College version coming out,

When they play my favorite song.

Dance like no one‘s watching,

Even if some think that’s wrong.

Karaoke too, it’s dreadful,

My voice barely more than a screech.

But mix adrenaline and laughter,

Heights of joy not easy to reach.

Imposter fear I realize now,

Was precious energy wasted.

And as I audaciously raise my hand,

Courage is finally tasted.

Sunflowers, once my perfume,

That cosmetics counter, 8th grade dance,

Now smile at me from every room,

I buy them whenever I have the chance.

I’ve always craved the energy,

Of a beaming, vibrant city,

But now I marvel at a falling leaf,

And think it’s just as pretty.

Hands in mittens, toes in socks,

Cozy mornings that are fleeting,

And with time I’ve realized,

As important as my meetings.

I am so grateful for all the pain,

Every tear I’ve cried.

For how without them would I know,

The beauty of the other side.

And the joy, of course, I’ve known that too,

And for that I’m eternally grateful.

But isn’t it funny that in a way,

They’re so enmeshed as to seem fateful.

You know them, right? Those trying times,

Struggling to escape their hold.

Now amber honey memories,

More precious indeed than gold.

Love of literature, sometime poet,

Too busy, though, to write.

Quiet days now with my family,

Fill pages into night.

My whole mood is enoughness,

Nothing missing from my world.

Little buds for 40 years,

As that seed of knowledge unfurled.

(Written as I approached my 40th…a birthday gift to myself…)

Ok so this is the very first content I m posting … I heard alot about this around me .. basically I like to explore things and it is very natural that alot of thoughts crossed our mind when we think but when we start writing …how to express our true feeling in words became very difficult.. I basically don’t know how many are going to read this and like this .. but doing things which bring positivity in life is important… I love writing … writing about my thoughts my situation my lifestyle everything… so in this content my main focus will only be on writing… means how does I feel doing this and how important is this and much more … for me writing is a way to heal yourself from all the negative thoughts and vibes around us…when ever I feel like I am guilty or I am sad I take a pen and write my mind on paper. Which make my life and thoughts more clear and clean… there were many situation were I feel like life has stopped… there is no hope left.. but trust me writing heals us from inside just like meditation does.. write people write … write everything your heart days … write everything your mind cannot express… and you will see and feel the change… not only in you but in your surroundings too… you will get a different prospective to look upon things …and this is the power of writing my dear ones. …life is too small we can not hold time but we can make our life and time better …when I started writing this I was bit nervous I was not having any clue… what to write but true feelings and thoughts matter..and most important thing is “you” …. and how you deal with this world matters …there are alot to write but ending this here because I also want to know how many are there to listen me up ….

1)Be honest with yourself

Be honest about what you are feeling. Whether it’s sadness, despair, anxiety or even laziness. It’s part of being human. Accepting those emotions is the first step to come out of it. Just don’t let it take over you. Try to take a step back when you are feeling a negative emotion in a certain situation and try to find the core of it. What exactly is it that is making you angry, sad, afraid? Is there something you can do about it? Most of the time, the problem can be changed when we actually see it from a different perspective and change our reaction to the situation.

2) It’s not a sin to be lost

There is nothing to be ashamed of to be just lost. Rather, it’s just implying you do realise there is something wrong and you are trying to be a better person. You want to become a better person. Not all ignorance is bliss. You can find the right path only when you realise you are lost, or not you are just going to go around in the same path forever. Struggles and hardships are the only way to bring out strength in you. Success will mean much more when you gain it through tribulations. And it will last longer.

3) Regret is a silent killer

Stop carrying all your regrets with you all the time, everywhere. It makes you fatigued by just absorbing all your energy. Yes, maybe you should have just accepted that offer. Yes, maybe you should not have said that to her/him. Yes, maybe you should have been more careful that time. Maybe, maybe, maybe…your life is just going to be ‘maybe’. You will be just ‘maybe’. No matter what you can’t change the past, so accept those mistakes and start looking forward.

4) Success is not the same for everyone

Why does success always have to be associated with the abundance of money, big cars and big houses? Yes, money is important but also important is the inner satisfaction you feel when you have something or achieve something no matter small or big. The inner satisfaction of achievement is the true luxury. I am not implying that you can’t dream big, rather I am just saying there is no timeline for it. Some people find success at 60, some find it at the age of 18, some are happy with a bungalow, some are also happy and satisfied with an apartment house. It all depends on how and what you define as success.
Flee — a poem. the past crept up and made its way…
By: Char M.
Tags: Pain, Unrequited Love, Letting Go, Love Yourself, Loss

the past crept up and made its way around me stopping just far enough to taunt me,

seducing my ravaged soul, all the while whispering of dreams unfulfilled

and promises left tattered in its wake

i stepped into the darkness gladly, laughing carelessly at my burdens stacked against the wall,

a reminder of the mountain still left unconquered just beyond the stillness of my once beating heart, now clinging to life in short, shallow gasps

none of this mattered to me anymore

i was free to drink in the poisoned air and felt alive in my inevitable death

only then did I stop to take in the sunrise,

allowing the warmth of my self-destruction to bathe me in regret and soothe me with shame

how gratuitous this all was

how undeserving the accolades

but I greedily took in the standing ovation before quietly retreating into the folds of the curtain for my final bow

it was then I caught your gaze and you held me there in soft sorrow before stepping up onto the stage to take my trembling hands in yours

and there we stood for a lifetime maybe, perhaps only mere seconds

you gently removed my hardened shell, my only defense against the world

piece by piece you patiently pried and pulled and held me as I cried out in pain, bleeding from the wounds of my oppressor, my own lie-filled skin

you then wrapped me in your soothing words and picking me up, carried me gently through the darkened halls until we reached the stairs below

you caressed my now naked fragile soul and I was overcome with feelings I had locked away long ago

i looked deeply into your eyes, and saw the truth

i was finally safe

i was home,

in you

it was then I let you go
“I Need You” Doesn’t Mean “I Love You”

“man and woman sitting on chairs” by rawpixel on Unsplash

“I need you,” he said.

We had been dating for only a few weeks when he asked me to move in with him.

He said, once I moved in with him, he would buy an engagement ring and propose.

What I should have said — “Let’s get to know each other more before we live together.”

Here’s what I did say — “I’ll call a mover.”

He lived in a newly renovated house on a large beautiful lot with endless apple trees. He drove a shiny new BMW. He was drop-dead handsome.

On the first morning as his roomate, he didn’t get up early, get dressed and drive off to work. I asked him what were his hours at work. He said he was currently unemployed. He quit his job because his boss would not let him take Fridays off for long weekends at the beach.

I learned that his history of employment was sporadic. He jumped from one profession to the next. He insisted that it was never his fault — that his bosses treated him poorly and he wouldn’t put up with it. “Most likely,” he said, “they were jealous of his looks.” The truth was that he just didn’t like to work.

Why should he work when he regularly found suckers like me.

Days after moving in, he told me that he was behind on his mortgage payments and I had to help him catch up before he went into foreclosure.

“It was the least I could do since I lived there,” he said.

I had been living with him for only two weeks. I wrote him a check for $5,000. I wrote the check to him, not to the mortgage company.

Every time we went to the gourmet grocery store — his favorite dinner was Filet Mignon, truffles sauteed in butter, and a bottle of wine — guess who paid?

After six months and $20,000, I called a mover. My bank account and my self-worth were depleted. I was disgusted with myself.

He begged me to stay.

“I need you,” he said. I thought it meant, “I love you.”

I desperately needed to be loved, and “I need you” was close enough.

I canceled the mover.

Two months later, we were driving in his car. I found a receipt on the floor in front of the passenger seat for a new flat screen TV — $10,000. It would be delivered in a week.

The truth hit me like a speeding train. He did need me. To pay for his luxury lifestyle.

When I refused to pay for the TV, he picked an apple from a tree on his property and aimed it at the back of my head. I could feel my brain hit the front of my skull.

It was the best thing he ever did for me. It knocked some sense into me. I called a mover. I was gone the next day.

He lost his house to foreclosure six months later. He had never used the money I gave him to pay the mortgage.

I learned the hard way that “I need you” doesn’t mean “I love you.”
Redefine Love — 10 ways in 10 days to find love in 2019

Last Update : January 7, 2019 by Isla

Agreement №4 Redefine Love

What is Love? A very hard question to answer, don’t you think? I’ll tell you the truth, there isn’t only one answer but as many as you can think.

Love is non-tangible and as such, it is a very individual and personal feeling. Which means that there can be as many different definitions of love as people live on this planet.

Interesting and scary and at the same time!

In today’s agreement, we’ll be exploring how to redefine what loves means to you.

Let’s start!

Redefining Love: a journey to break stereotypes about True Love

What does true love mean? What is the meaning of love in a relationship?

It is said that people need love to survive, would you agree with that statement?

Love has been defined by our society for centuries: from romantic literature to romantic movies and marketing on romance, we’ve been exposed (and we still are) to what love is meant to be in a very unrealistic way.

We’ve been taught that love should be everything to aim for: to be in love means to breathe for the other person and that the other person only breathes for you. It also means that we put so many expectations on love that at the end, it is almost impossible to escape from disappointment.

That’s why it is very important to redefine what loves means to you, outside of the imaginary created around the concept of love.

Perhaps love from you is a synonym of romance and therefore you expect to feel love (and give love) with romantic dates, gifts, compliments, etc.

But perhaps love from you is in the little things: knowing that another person thinks of you, that the other person takes care of you when you’re not at your best.

Perhaps love for you means that your partner cooks your favorite dinner for you when you arrive from a hard day at work, or spending one evening with your partner on the sofa under a cover laughing at silly jokes.

What is Love for you?

That’s the question you should ask yourself.

Are your expectations of love too unrealistic? Can you really find a perfect partner (is there really a perfect human being on earth?)

How would you feel loved and most importantly how do you show love? What’s important for you when it comes to love?

Redefine love, take it out of the box and think about what would really make you happy and content.

Make sure you write it so if one day you’re in a relationship and you feel love and romance are starting to fall apart, revisit your definition of love.

Find YOUR love and don’t let anybody tell you how love should be.

Because there’s not one but thousands of ways of loving and being loved.
How to be truly free ?
By: Syrine Jamel
Tags: Love Yourself, Life Lessons, Flying, Freedom, Love Life

If only I could have wings. And if only I could fly, very high in the sky.

I would fly and find rest.

I would rise in the sky, to the clouds where there is no pain or punishment.

If I had wings, I would fly to exhaustion. I would watch the sunset with you from the top of a tree.

I would fly over an ocean and fly over the earth !

If you believe that you are free because you live alone, because you have achieved financial freedom or because your children have left your home, know that all this has nothing to do with true freedom.

True freedom can come only from within you.

Most people confuse being free and being free from constraints. It goes without saying that having fewer constraints gives you more freedom but it is rarely a real freedom. Take the example of a person who thinks he is free because he has decided to live alone. This person can still experience moments of loneliness or financial problems. It has constraints that prevent it from being totally free.

You have to know that to be free is to give yourself the right to be oneself. It is daring to listen to one's needs even if they don't match the expectations of others. It’s to feel that we are the only master of our life. Those who live only for others instead of listening to their own needs may think that meeting their own needs is a sign of selfishness.

I would like to remind everyone that being selfish means wanting others to listen to our needs before they listen to theirs. If you are one of those who live for others, I suggest you read this definition at least three times. By preventing you from being free, you are probably one of those who are EGOISTIC. Why? Because you have a lot of expectations against others. You believe that if they acted according to your wishes, you would have no worries, no emotions, no fears. So you want them to listen to your needs before theirs.

If you want to live in peace, free and with the least possible constraints, you have to know that only you can make it so. First, be aware of your needs and act accordingly to fill them. You will know that you are free when you respect the needs of those you love and that you will accept that they, too, can manifest anything they want because they are the only ones to bear the consequences.

If I had wings, I would fly, I would travel, I would live in the air

If I had wings, I would flee ..

In the unpreparedness for love
By: Anand Prakaesque
Tags: Poetry Writing, Poetry, Love Yourself, Poetry On Medium, Love

How the fog occurs in the morning,

unprepared for the smog.

Why’d the difference between

both of them change anything that goes down my lungs?

How the unpreparedness for

the latter,

changed many things.

How the unpreparedness for love, won them all.

Love, in all the conditions, stays.

It can be silenced but not erased.

It’s not the ghosts of love

which haunts us,

it’s the pain of unpreparedness and how untidy we are in love.

Love was never about theories and settlements.

Love is never about how well rehearsed I am for.

Love is nothing until you gasp a little life and demolish that moment for another one.

How a moon occurs in the night, unprepared for the clouds.

Why’d the difference between the scenes,

change anything; who’re not in love.

How the calamity of love hits when the latter has covered your nights?

How the unpreparedness for love,

won all of them.

Waits; in all the condition stays.

It can be silenced, but not erased.

My eagerness to wait for the lover will haunt me,

and I’d still be unprepared for how to hug.

Wait is not about the atrocities of time,

but about the willingness to be once again for a while.

Wait is nothing until you cross a thousand stories in your head,

and woosh! It’d be the gone when your lover has arrived.

From the over crowded bazaars till the perfectly labelled squares,

all I’ve waited and watch;

the unpreparedness for love.

We’re kindled and born with a poem of love in our hands;

still we choose to explain it in few words.

I can never be defined but love will, anytime.

’Cause love won’t measure me,

it’d throw me.

And how would I even think to be prepared for Love;

when all it knows is just to occur,

and then it rows.
Your Eyes Reflect The Body Of The Moon

Your eyes reflect the body of the moon.

The moon is your symbolic twin.

The moon’s body reflects all the tears you shed every time it’s light hits the surface of the still waters.

Your eyes reflect the body of the moon.

You to hide your pain in the shadows just like the moon hides its loneliness.

Your eyes reflect the body of the moon.

And just like the moon has heard many cries of pain and joy, you have too.

You and the moon have a lot in common.

You hold the shadows of the past and present all at once, and just like the moon, you’re being pulled farther away from your atmosphere.

Your eyes reflect the body of the moon so accurately that you could be mistaken for him.

You see, I image the moon as a lost soul who believes he has no real purpose, but the truth is he does.

The moon, no matter whether or not we recognize by it a he or she knows it has a simple yet very vital job to do.

And that’s to provide light during the dark time; to provide a guide to those that wonder, and may find themselves lost.

Your eyes reflect the body of the moon.

Your own moon.

If you feel it trying to pull you out of your own dark loneliness, please allow the moon to do its job.

Your eyes reflect the body of the moon that has seen a lot, and that has been pulled in many directs by the water of your tears over the years long before your light was cast in my direction and found a shared silhouette in a heart that found itself being pulled toward you.

Your eyes reflect the body of the moon, and I can only hope that these very eyes reflect me someday soon.
Love is Not Lost.

Your heart may feel broken right now. The pain of a loss or broken relationship can feel absolutely tremendous. It makes you feel that your heart is broken or damaged forever. During this time, you will want to remove yourself from everyone and be alone. All you can feel is the pain. To heal is to accept the loss and make efforts to move forward. Our mind wants to do the opposite though during this time. Our mind wants us to think about that pain and hold on to it as a crutch. It also wants to “protect” us to not feel that pain again. The more painful the experience, the more our mind will labor to make sure we don’t forget about it.

The good news is that your heart cannot be broken. Love is never completely lost. Even in scary times like the coronavirus, we can hold on to love. We accept the things that we may not understand and move forward with love. Your heart will expand in wisdom, compassion, and strength. What you feel is growing pains. One day you can love again, maybe even more.
Journey with Drill Sergeant RAHU
Tags: Philosophy, Love Yourself, Psychology, Life Lessons, Rahu Mahadasha

PART 1

“Now I know what I’ve been faking all these years” — Private Benjamin (1980)

At the beginning, I wasn’t sure if it’s good idea to share my Rahu Mahadasha journey. Afterall, there are plentiful of Reddit users blogging about this grand cycle astrological influence but nothing much on personal experience. To this very day it’s still a mind-boggling discussion. It’s a taboo that would make a superstitious crowd sweat just by hearing the name ‘Rahu’. Quite fascinating really.

If I think about my own Rahu experience to date, the best description that I can come up with is ‘SPIRITUAL BOOTCAMP’. And quiet so an emotional one too!

Another way to look at is how to maintain ones’ emotional resilience while pursuing materialistic delusions and illusions (causes). More critically how well you cope from losing them (consequences). In my opinion, Rahu Mahadasha operating model runs on 80/20 Pareto Principle.

Oh, did I mention you will be riding this train for 18.5 years, lucid yet disorientated?

Project FUD (Fear, Uncertainties and Doubt)

A ‘Aha’ moment got me thinking about this 80’s film ‘Private Benjamin’. Though it’s fictional and a comedy, I candidly say it is a suitable representation of the extreme emotional highs and lows caused by FUD during Rahu Mahadasha.

Rahu is like the invisible yet a drunk drill sergeant with insatiable appetite for chaos. Think of you are being led by a cantankerous indecisive individual who hasn’t received his or her daily PROZAC intravenous drip. Not to mention the unpredictability of being ambushed puts you on the edge of ‘fight or flight’.

Curriculum at its finest

Drill Sergeant Rahu will test your ability to discern and detach from false ego and self-esteem. If you are unwillingly to retire your rose-tinted glasses, I promise you it gets wilder — give me 50 more bench press please. This will sound like an exaggeration, expect the least expected at higher frequency. It’s like a horror story unfold itself right in front of you. A conveyor belt of the worst quality side of the distribution curve lined up after one another:

Unusual ‘carrot and stick’ hoop jumps and milestone goal posts keep moving relentlessly.

Encountering more questionable people with questionable morale compass (I’m being polite here).

True colour of your colleagues and friends are revealed itself.

“The bigger the tree, the harder it falls, the more impactful the emotional pain”.

Do you regret in the morning? please don’t
Tags: Motivation, Success, Love Yourself, Enrepreneurship, Wake Up Early

Do you regret in the morning? please don’t

It was 1992 when I was born in a village in India. As our culture is to start the day earlier than the sun, I used the same time to study and become top student in my school days.

Fast forward 28 years, when I see myself today, waking up early becomes one of the most difficult task of a day.

And yes I fail everyday to wake-up early with a smile on my face as an another failure but do I wear it as a badge of honor? No. The good thing about my delayed morning is my smile which keeps me away from regret and feeling guilty.

No body becomes rich or poor by waking up early or late. It’s entire day efforts and mindset which helps in long run.

So just be hesitant to read those un-authentic blogs which claims to give you most absurd concept of “Becoming rich by waking up early”.

Waking up early means — only having more time for the work in a day. Be it personnel or professional, you get more time to complete the task.

So, be grateful for having good sleep rather looking at a time on your phone and regretting those one or may be more hours which are passed.

Relax — “You have entire day to win”.

Would You Like You, If You Met You?
By: Erin Fabrigas
Tags: Love Yourself, Poetry Sunday, Poetry, Love

Would you like you, if you met you

with all the good-humored jokes and silent companionships?

With the shared art, endless hours in coffee shops, mug sips split into two,

With the quiet moonlit walks in pathways dimly lit with lamps softly glowing, illuminating,

Transparent souls bared through muted whispers of scars and healing kisses.

Hopes

Aspirations

Nightmares

Fears of the unknown

Would you like you, if you met you

Bathed in gray and gloom,

Woeful but without reason,

Cortisol drowning your brain

as you try to rise up between waves of anxious denial.

Aware.

Aware of myself but without power.

Aware of myself but without motion.

I can’t move.

No, you can’t move.

You watch the gray light turn to yellow.

Silence carved by the ticks of the clock.

Tock, you’re alone

Tick, you’re about to drown

Tock, you are confused

Tick.

Tick

Tick this off of your calendar,

another day survived.

How have you met you?

When you hide in your own thoughts

I know you don’t like you

crutched, bent, huddled in your bedroom corner,

surrounded by dirty sheets,

marked by traces of tears.

Could you like you, if you met you?

Maybe, you could like you, if you tried to meet you.

If you tried looking beyond the anxiety over mistakes,

if you tried to stop saying sorrys and started saying thank yous,

if you tried to look deeper than your skin,

deeper than the notions within

of unworthiness.

Maybe, you would like you,

if you saw the sunshine off of other peoples eyes

if you felt the clutch of the moment

letting it pull you back to the now.

Now.

Now.

Now, look.

You do like you.

You like your beautiful mind and your broken heart.

You like your warm smile and your cold stares.

You like your crafts, your poems, and your written fairy tales.

You like you.

Now,

you’ve met you,

and you

like

you.

The greatest teacher in your life is your life itself. Sounds familiar, right. It’s a universal truth that everybody knows yet doesn’t like. The problem behind it is that life never teaches you lessons and challenge you for a test. Instead, life challenges you for everything you want, to get you ready for the worst and learn the most.

Hello everybody, I am Akshay Soni. I am here to complete what I am born on this planet for, serving you. I’ll be your guide on this tour of ours to find your path to peace and success.

Do you realize your existence in this world is a miracle? Odds that you exist are about one in 400 trillion. You were a winner even before you were born. You won the sperm race to get yourself into existence.

The first and most important step you need to take in our tour is finding yourself. You need to ask yourself who you are? what are your dreams? why do you even exist? People like me can only help you along your journey.

It’s an era of global recession and global depression. People are afraid to attempt the challenges of life. The biggest drawback of not accepting the challenges of life is you feel safe where you are. But actually, it keeps you stuck where you are.

“Don’t ever let someone tell you that you can’t do something. Not even me. You got a dream, you gotta protect it. When people can’t do something themselves, they’re gonna tell you that you can’t do it. You want something, go get it. Period.”

Thank You, Corona, and Good Night

Why thank you, you ask? Because after speaking with so many people (virtually via Zoom) it is so apparent to me that this virus has taught us so many incredible things in such a short time.

Tonight, I heard from a mom and dad, who’s son is positive for Covid-19 (may he have a speedy recovery), they are grateful to have each other and so much support through a variety of networks.

I spoke with multiple people who are choosing beautiful acts of kindness, whether it is dropping off art projects at a neighbor’s door or picking something up for someone in isolation.

Reach Out and Help Out

The energy or frequency of this sort of love and care is astounding. My mom, just shared with me, that living in a senior community means “we stick together” and she has made her friends dinner since they can’t cook.

Instead of feeling hopeless and worrying about the future of humanity I am looking across the “screen” at people of all walks of life holding out their hands in love and solidarity. And guess what? It’s working, not only to bring us together but also to shut this virus down.

My dear global family, smile until your cheeks hurt and read the good news.

So, Corona, thank you for all you have taught me and the world. But, now, it is time to go and let all of us reap the rewards of these incredible lessons.
Love: a feeling that builds and broke people

Tags: Love And Sex, Love Yourself, Love, Lovestory, Feelings

Love is a word with infinite definition and meaning. In general, love is a feeling of affection, respect, intimacy, togetherness, mutual, and intense emotions experienced by a human. Love is also defined as an intangible connection between two pure hearts. Love doesn’t only mean two young hearts exchanging feelings and affection towards each other. Love is warm attachment, admiration, benevolence, devotion, strong affection towards anything or anybody passionate to achieve it. While love seems to be a universally valued attribute, defining it in a behavioral term can be challenging.

Speaking physically, love occurs on the brain, not on the heart. Love activates the same brain regions that are involved when people use euphoria(pleasure, excitement, happiness)-inducing drugs. We tend to think love solely occurs between romantic partners, but this isn’t true. A human can experience 8 types of love in the various relationships, such as with romantic partners, family members, friends, and even the stranger of streets. Since all types of love catalyzed differently, each love affects us differently. Just like a bouquet of flowers where all blossom holds different representations.

How To: Love Yourself
Tags: Self Care, Relationships, Love Yourself, Love, Self Love

I’ve heard the phrase thrown around countless times, but how exactly does one “love themselves”?

Do you do face masks every night? Have a thorough work-out routine? Repeat countless confidence-building affirmations to yourself in the mirror?

You see, I’m a scientist. I think in steps. There needs to be a clear and logical flow of reasoning from one step to the next. So, how do you do it?

I think after a few weeks of wrestling with the concept of self-love & being enough for yourself, I can confidently say - I have no clue.

All I know is that in this life, all you have is yourself. Your friends and family will all eventually leave you somehow, someday. But you have yourself for life. So, with that in mind, it would probably be a good idea to like who you’re spending all of that time with, right?

And I think that’s what I’m starting to understand about self-love. It’s not the face-masks, work-out routines, or confidence-building affirmations you repeat to yourself. All of that stuff helps, for sure, but it really all comes down to how you feel about yourself. Are you happy with who you are? Or do you want to change?

Self-love is, ultimately, the relationship you have with your authentic self. It’s about being honest with yourself and your life. It’s about the people you love, the things you love, and what you want to do with your life. It’s about what gives you joy, hope, and a sense of purpose.

I think. I’m still trying to figure it out.
A wonderfully great piece and what a great way to start my Monday!

A wonderfully great piece and what a great way to start my Monday!

I often wonder though, why we don’t take this wisdom to heart in every area of our day to day? An elderly person who is lonely, a child with disabilities…we choose to see them through the lens of kindness and will lavish love, patinece and acceptance upon them. But how can society make that same shift for those who may not look like us, worship like us or live like us? We have seen many in law enforcement express great empathy towards the disabled yet won’t blink an eye to kill a black man just because he’s black. Many in our society will give to the poor and disenfranchised yet have a hatred for those seeking refuge within our borders.

I believe the solution is in “knowing your own story”. Not just what passionately drives you but what may hinder you as well. Knowing our personal truth and why this is the truth we “choose” to live by is imperative if we want to change. Authentic love has only one lens and it doesn’t work if we pick and choose. Imagine the adventure life will take us on once we choose to let go! Imagine the quality of life we will live, something money and beauty can’t compete with.
How to quit smoking
By: Tiziana Arnone
Tags: Time Management, Love Yourself, Self Improvement, Health, Life

I admit I have been an unconventional smoker.

When I was a little girl I used to hide my fathers’ packs of cigarettes.

I started smoking late according to common standards: at 23 years old.

Rousseau’s “Freedom is the power to choose our own chains” was my philosophic foundation to explain people why I keep going smoking along years.

Once I said I’d quit smoking only when pregnant and so I did. No trauma.

I started again smoking for anger, when my daughter was 3 years old.

I keep going smoking for seven years until I meet fear. Until I stumble in the fear of dying, because whatever image they will put on a pack of cigarettes, no matter how fearful they are, you will keep going until you really will be scared of dying.

Before slipping into it, I have to say I started with no intention of quitting by using time blocking method: meaning while writing for four hours I was stuck to my chair. So I delayed naturally my first cigarette of the day.

As a result, total number of cigarettes per day: two.

But what strikes and pushes me to completely pull the plug has been fear.

One day I woke up with a strange lymph node swelling.

Eventually, I found out it was not dangerous. But alone those days before the virdict, I was really convinced to dye.

I simply have ripened fear, so I have quitted.

I did not need nay self-help book.

Deep inside, everybody knows how to get away with an addiction.

This is a process and you need a method to afford it and a possible motivaion, hanging above you.

This is a process on the path of self-esteem to become a better person.

To be better aware of the self.

On Life and Happiness

Quotes that get you going

Beyoncé

“I don’t like to gamble, but if there’s one thing I’m willing to bet on, it’s myself.”

Techniques to try

Have a dream? Take the smallest and easiest step towards it.

Ask: What do I have to lose trying? Take a leap of faith and go for it. Keep trying!

“In the end, we only regret the chances we didn’t take.”

Love to hear from you

Here’s another memorable phrase which is from The Greatest Showman:

“I think of what the world could be. A vision of the one I see. A million dreams is all it’s gonna take.”

That’s all for now and see you next week 🙂
The 3 horsemen of learning: Knowledge, Skill, Capability
By: Omkar Birade
Tags: Skills, Growth, Improvement, Learning, Software Development

Skill

In any area, skill is acquired through the constant application. This involves not just knowing how but also doing it. Skills are learned. They mean knowing how to apply knowledge correctly to yield expected results. The more you sustain the stronger it gets.

Once you are at this stage you now would know how to use the framework to solve problems.

How: Skill can be acquired through the application of what has been learnt to small projects or solve a few problems while also working on your expertise in that area. This can be done by taking up courses, reading books, etc in that area.

The final and the hardest to command is the 3rd horseman. But managing to do it means having an unmatched ability in the area.

Capability

Knowledge, skill and experience synergise to transform into capability. Applying knowledge and skill over time repeatedly in numerous different contexts rewards you with capability in that area.

Once matured enough, this capability appears innate to you in nature and now counts as your ability and comes to you as your second nature.

In our context, this would mean being able to use the framework in huge projects having multiple integrations with different systems to be able to solve business problems.

How: Capability can be acquired through constant learning and application of what has been learnt to numerous projects/contexts of any size and making use of it in integrated environments to solve problems.
