Beat the Stress

 There are some days when I feel low , feel like just to keep lying in the bed , not doing any domestic chores or even go for my daily walk . If i try analyzing myself what is it I am going through , i don't reach any conclusion what exactly is causing me to feel like that . Once it happened that I was feeling so low and depressed and to divert my mind I started watching a movie . That bollywood movie had some emotional scenes to which i somehow connected and my eyes got filled with tears . Within few minutes I observed that i was relaxed now as if some stress was  wiped away with those tears. 

May be my mind was over burdened with stress and I hadn't tried any hacks to beat the stress . May be i had overbusied myself with routine job , family responsinbilities and the 3 meal decisions in the kitchen . 

Stress and Anxiety are  mainly caused when we start living too much for others ignoring ourselves . Focussing on ourselves  is what we need to learn and work on . I even  tend to eat more when i am stressed. 

To beat the stress here are some tips from my side :

1. Care about yourself - be it your time to relax , meeting your friends or taking care of  your food cravings .

2. A little sense of humour helps you detach from your struggles . Watch stand-up comedies , Grab a coffee and stop taking yourself too seriously .

3. There is only one person who can make your life as full as possible , and that's you . Don't expect from others. Trying to change others is foolish . 

4. Don't be over efficient in any work you are asked to perform.

5. Make a habit to devote atleast 5 minutes daily connecting to  the divine power.  

Here I wish to share an infographic which I made last year :

Zoozoozoo : A journey

 Today is Sunday ,  May 1st 2022 and yesterday i was invited to my daughter's school to witness a small function.  My daughter Suhani was born in 2007 and the day clearly flashes in front of my eyes when she got on to the auditorium stage for her first annual function during her LKG class . I had dressed her up in a beautiful purple frock . The auditorium echoed  with the sounds of claps as the team LKG stepped on to the stage and took their positions as couples . Their teacher had blushed  everyone's cheeks pink and golden. The song started 'Zoozoozoo......we welcome you ......' and the kiddos started twisting their hips and legs holding on to their partners . Awww...it was such an adorable performance that a mother couldn't control her tears .  Watching some  kids who forgot their dance steps and wanted to just run here and there on the stage was fun too !  Yesterday was the day when she again marched  on to the auditorium,  this time ...

A letter to my Kitchen

 Being a woman i also spend lot of time in my kitchen whether full heartedly , half heartedly or not at all heartedly . But in any case i have to go in my kitchen off and on . Today I feel like writing a letter to my kitchen. Dear Kitchen    Hope you are living a fulfilling life with all your jars filled to the brim with wheat , rice , pulses , sugar , tea ,coffee and cookies . I also hope that your sinks are now empty and clean unlike the last month when maid was on leave . Those days ,your sinks used to be piled up with utensils and it stinked so badly .  Dear kitchen , it's been around seventeen years that i am taking care of you . Now you are grown up as a teenager and so you should learn to be responsible and maintain your hygiene .  It feels good when my family agrees on khichdi and your cooker does the job   in  just one whistle . But you just don't cooperate when they demand Chole Bhature and you also start giving me tantrums . Remember ho...

Test Yourself with 10 Random questions

It's good to analyze yourself to  know about your positive points as well your limitations So why not take a random  test today ?   Here are some questions which you should try to answer to yourself only and i request you to do it mindfully. 1. How are you feeling today ? Energetic , Stagnant or bored ? 2. Right now , are you thinking about today , yesterday or tomorrow ?  Remember today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday . Yesterday is gone . That was past . Learn from your past but don't let the past disturb you in the present or hinder your growth in the future . 3. In the past few days did you talk something good about yourself ? Daily you talk a lot about others but do you talk about yourself too ? Sometimes we  have a tendency not to boast or talk good about ourselves even when we have accomplished something . The way you talk about yourself makes an impact. Always speak  empowering words about yourself, "Whenever you think of beautiful ...
