I Wish You Well

Cuss cuss cuss cuss……
You are on an Indian road, stuck in traffic, loud honks, animals in the middle of the road, local  cabbies driving as if they own the roads…All this madness is enough to overwhelm you to cough out a few cuss words which your mom always refrained you to use from. The dilemma becomes further agonizing when you are a soft skill trainer and are supposed to train others’ right conducts and to be lady like.
What you do?
Push your foot hard on the brake paddle and scream with your car………Screeeeeeeeeeechhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
NO
Talking about our troubles is our biggest habit. Break the Habit and talk about joys. You are not your thoughts. You are not your feelings. They are part of you, but not the entirety of you. Learn to be aware of them rather than become them.
Whenever you feel stressed, STOP and just breath.be grateful that you are safe and healthy. On road you can be grateful of the comforts of your car, cool air when temperature on road is 48 degrees. Observe the madness around and you will always find a clown to laugh.
Do not be harsh on yourself. Feeling negative is a vicious downward spiral which will take you to the pit of darkness and on the other hand Gratitude is a booming upward spiral which will make you feel better.

STRESS→→Pause→→Gratitude

So when I drive and face such madness I cry out loud ‘I Wish You Well’! Breaking the habit is not easy but I try. I have a note pasted on my dashboard that says I wish You well and in case a forget my car pool partner reminds me of my cuss word, ‘I wish you well’.

Mastering Interviews

bhabb bhabb bhabbb bhab................... The heart is ready to explode and brain is bursting on the seams. What are they going to ask?How will I answer their questions?Will my explanations be enough to satisfy their curiosity?What if I fell down while entering?My hands are sweaty ,it will leave a bad impression.So many Ifs and buts before an interview.  First of all Congratulations on landing this interview.Rejoice in the glory as many who applied  have not been asked to be there.Now the question is .....What makes the recruiter Tick? Psychology is more important than logic.What makes a few brands/people eternal is their grasp of human psychology.They know how to nail the stuff about us as human beings.They know how to handle the questions thrown to them.In fact they see beyond the question and decipher the coded meaning between the lines. "There are no stupid questions,but do you have smart answers?" Questions they ask and what they are really asking is differ...

Happiness-Truest and Highest Expression of You

What is Happiness? Surrounded by best of things! Surrounded by Best Of people! Travelling the world luxuriously! No sadness in the world! No Poverty! No pain! No war, No one Starving! Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Are you living in a Utopian  age? To quote Nataly Kogan,a corporate happiness sherpa, 'Happiness is not the absence of negative emotions. You’re not failing happiness because you feel sad or angry. Let yourself feel what you feel, but don’t lose sight of the little moments of warmth, compassion, or beauty that are always there,even if you have to wipe your tears to see them.' You Are Enough. You are lovable, amazing and deserving of true genuine happiness exactly the way you are. May be you have to align your thoughts more towards being mindful of your happiness but You don’t have to do anything more to earn it. You’re a being, not a doing. You are not your thoughts. You are not your feelings. They are part of you, but not the entirety of you. Learn t...

What If and Why Not?

Not Yet ……is the phrase to be used when we lose. Pick yourself up to strive one more time rather than say, ‘ I failed’ . When the focus is winning and success, we lose. People who are oblivion of winning and work for excellence, with passion and love; the success knocks at their door at the time when least expected. Best talents may remain hidden or be lost at the worst as they lack the grit to stumble and get up on the roadblocks on way to success. Lack of willingness to fail and start all over again is the root cause of failure not the absence of technical or life skills. All these skills are acquirable if you have the grit. REMEMBER: To grow a carrot, the farmer must give it fertilizer, water, and soil—but must allow for the carrot to grow and spread its own roots; only this way can the carrot find its path to the most nutrients to ensure the strongest growth. Same goes for us, learn the right skills, acquire knowledge and strive but do not focus on winning all time, our...
