  Most want Happiness but few can figure out how to live it. In my experience it is not the biggest things which will make a person happy but small things. I have known people who have everything in this world but are still unhappy. Infact the whole idea of this blog, began in a conversation with a lady, sometime back who said that she had more than everything what one could ask for, however what was lacking was happiness in her life. Sometimes, just stepping back & refocusing on your vision will make it much better. If you are looking for “change” with more joy & fulfilment, then you can begin by taking the first few steps. Self Discovery Is A Natural Process When people go on the path of self discovery, they tend to get so wrapped up in finding themselves that they forget how the discovery is actually made. Most of life’s purpose is found by  “Living with passion”  and it is no different with self discovery. One thing I do, when I work with my clients is to get ...

  Have you ever wondered what sets successful people apart from the rest? It’s not just about talent or luck; it’s about mindset and focus. Our thoughts shape our reality and what we choose to fill our minds with can significantly impact our success rate. It’s easy to fall into the trap of believing that selfishness is the key to success. After all, selfish people often appear to win quickly because they are laser-focused on their own goals and aspirations. Meanwhile, those of us who prioritize empathy and collaboration may find ourselves paying more attention to these self-centred individuals, believing that their approach holds the secret to success. But here’s the truth: success isn’t solely determined by selfishness. In fact, focusing solely on oneself can lead to short-term gains at the expense of long-term fulfilment and meaningful relationships. It’s time to shift our focus and redefine what it means to achieve success. First and foremost, success is not a zero-sum game. It’...

  In the ever-evolving landscape of professional success, the concept of neural pathways—those intricate connections in our brains that influence our thoughts, behaviours, and habits—holds profound implications. As a professional, you understand the significance of adaptability, skill enhancement, and innovation.  Here, we will delve into how the principles of neural plasticity can be harnessed to reshape your career trajectory, allowing you to create better neural pathways for lasting success. Understanding Neural Plasticity and its Relevance to Career Growth Neural plasticity, often referred to as “brain plasticity” or “neuroplasticity,” is the brain’s remarkable ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections. This phenomenon is not limited to cognitive development alone; it has the potential to reshape your career journey. Embracing continuous learning, adopting new perspectives, and honing relevant skills facilitate the creation of stronger neural pathways ...

  In the hustle and bustle of modern life, where deadlines loom large, responsibilities pile up and stress seems to be an unwelcome companion, it’s easy to forget the carefree joy of childhood.  However, there’s a growing body of research that suggests bringing out the child in us can have significant benefits for our mental and emotional well-being.  Here, we will explore the importance of embracing playfulness in today’s fast-paced world and delve into the research that supports the idea that reconnecting with our inner child can lead to a happier and more fulfilling life. The Science Behind Playfulness Before we delve into the practical benefits of bringing out the child in us, let’s explore the scientific basis behind this concept. Neuroscientific studies have shown that engaging in playful activities triggers the release of endorphins, the feel-good hormones that promote an overall sense of well-being. Moreover, playfulness has been linked to increased levels of dopa...

  Today, let us talk about a topic that is close to many of our hearts: the art of reacting or should I say, the wisdom of selective reaction.  You see, in this fast-paced world where every beep of our phone demands attention and every news headline begs for a response, it is easy to fall into the trap of feeling like we have to react to everything that comes our way.  But here is the thing: being oversensitive can be seriously harmful to our mental health. Now, before we dive into the deep end of this pool, let us clarify what we mean by “oversensitive.” It is not about having emotions or caring deeply about the world around us—those are beautiful qualities. Instead, it is about feeling like every little thing is a personal attack or a catastrophe waiting to happen. It is about being so tuned in to the noise of the world that we forget to listen to the quiet voice of our own intuition. So why is this such a big deal? Well, for starters, constantly reacting to every littl...

  Smart Investments for Lasting Growth In the pursuit of personal and professional development, it’s natural to seek the most cost-effective solutions. However, when it comes to choosing between therapy and professional coaching, prioritizing cost over your actual needs can be a short-sighted approach.  While it’s true that therapy may often be perceived as a more affordable option, it’s essential to recognize that the decision between therapy and coaching goes beyond mere financial considerations.  Let’s explore why opting for a less costly option just because it’s available may not always serve your best interests. Understanding The Difference: First and foremost, it’s crucial to understand the distinction between therapy and professional coaching. Therapy typically focuses on addressing mental health issues, past traumas and emotional challenges. Therapists are trained to help individuals explore and resolve deep-seated issues that may be hindering their overall well-b...

  Hobbies are not just a pastime; they're a pathway to better well-being. Here's why: Stress Relief: Engaging in hobbies provides an outlet for stress relief. Whether it's painting, gardening, or playing a musical instrument, immersing yourself in a hobby distracts your mind from worries, reduces cortisol levels, and promotes relaxation.
