Deal with Doubt

Life is ever changing and full of uncertainties and doubt. No matter the level of change, uncertainty is simply a part of life. Learning to embrace uncertainty is the key dealing with doubt. When we can’t embrace change and uncertainty is usually leads to feelings of doubt & disappointment . This can make life very difficult.

Doubt sabotages your chances for a happy and fulfilling life.

Doubt includes being self-critical, worrying, lack of trust & conviction, suspicious, indecisiveness, confusion and uncertainty. Most people suffer in silence. Its suffocates your confidence and undermines your abilities in life.

Yes! you can manage self-doubt but it’s a tough road and requires lots of effort. The benefits are far outweighing the effort you need to put in. You will boost your confidence on this journey and raise your self-esteem at the same time. It will be a worthy road trip. Trust me. I am speaking from personal experience with second guessing myself.

 7 Steps to Deal with Doubt

  1. Do one thing at a time. No multitasking
  2. Set smaller goals that you can manage
  3. Surround yourself with supporting & encouraging people
  4. Question your incertitude if its valid or not
  5. Everytime you make excuses or tell stories to avoid acting, write down all the possibilities if you did not have doubt
  6. Get a mentor to hold you accountable for your goals and actions
  7. Write down all your past successes and start believing in yourself

Learn to embrace uncertainty and doubt

You will never be able to control everything in life, as life is full of uncertainties. However, you can always keep yourself prepared to face such uncertainties, obstacles or challenges by planning well, taking quick actions, being flexible, and being patient. Once you start embracing unknown and focusing on the possibilities along with the challenges, you will certainly be become a successful and confident woman who is able to leap any barrier and have a full, rewarding life and career.

Your turn…

How do you deal with being unsure ?  What’s the next smallest step you need to take to turn uncertainty into certainty?

Breath of Fresh Air

Breath of fresh air

When last did you get a breath of fresh air into your life? Body? Mind?

I had the privilege of attending a Breathwork Practitioner Course last weekend. I attended the course out of curiosity and to find new breathing methods to help my Trauma/Tension Release Clients. I use many breathing techniques to help my trauma clients relax deeply and to release the repressed trauma from their bodies. My simple curiosity turned into something profound and magical.

Art of Breathing

The breathing techniques were simple in theory but when diving deep into the breathing it revealed many things about my habits and the way my body responds to my thoughts and feelings. It supports me with every thought and feeling. I yawn when I need more oxygen in my body. My breathing becomes laboured during exercising. When I am stressed my breathing becomes short and quick. I sigh when my body is highly stressed, or I am frustrated.  I know you thinking yawning and sighing is being rude but its actually the body’s way to balancing itself. This level of awareness for me was so profound. I got so excited after discovering the magic of breath.

I know you wondering what is the big deal about breathing. It is a big deal. You have a natural gift that you can use to heal, energise and de-stress. Available and accessible to you anytime anywhere. Do you realise how powerful this is?

Let’s explore the Benefits of breathing deeply:

  1. Frees the Breath
  2. Relaxes the Body
  3. Clears the Mind
  4. Calms the Nerves
  5. Boosts Energy levels
  6. Improves Stamina
  7. Sharper Thinking
  8. Elevates Mood
  9. Increases Feel Good Factor
  10. Decreases Stress and Worry
  11. Heightens Alertness and Focus
  12. Improves Posture and Performance
  13. Detoxes the Body from Toxins
  14. Reduces Physical Pain
  15. Improves Response to Stress and Emotions during Challenging times

Breathing correctly means supplying your body with adequate oxygen and replenishing it with fresh air.

This way you navigate life with more vigour, vitality and verve.

Just Breath – (Happy Sigh)

10 ways to relax

Relaxing after work is one of my goal for 2018

We into the 3rd week of Jan 2018. I don’t know about you guys, but before the exhaustion of the commute and work pressure get you down. Here are some ideas how to unwind after work.

In 2017, I used to just bite the bullet. Convince myself that this is just life and that I had to keep going no matter what.

But over the holidays, I realized that if I want to be top my game, I need to make my overall well-being a priority. I need to make time to unwind when I get home, time to relax and de-stress.

Life was so much simpler when we were kids. But we were in a hurry to be adults. We thought adulting would be fun and free.

Adulting has been a lot harder. Relaxing is just not on the cards.  I’d get home and think about all the zillion things I wanted or needed to do, so taking a breather wasn’t on the cards. So, if that sounds like your life and you need some help in the de-stressing department, here are

10 easy ways to relax after a long day at work:

Listen to Relaxing Music

1 Simple Phrase that will Change Your Thinking

One Simple Phrase that will Change Your THinking

One Simple Powerful Phrase that Will Change Your Thinking.

Yes! You are reading correctly. I know it sounds unrealistic and sounds too good to be true Let me elaborate.

Every day we experience life. These experiences develop into little stories. The stories that impact us the most (positive and negative) are stored internally. They entail details of our experiences, about people, places and about life in general. The stories significantly impact how we feel. If the stories are positive, we tend to feel good. If the stories are negative, we tend to lose hope.

The stories we tell ourselves don’t just influence how we feel – they alter what we see, what we experience, and what we know to be true. This is one of the primary reasons multiple people can go through the same experience, but explain it differently. E.g. People witness the same accident but the details will be different – feeling, colour, texture, behaviour, etc. Each of us may enter a shared experience with a different story echoing through our mind. Our unique story – our inner dialogue – alters the way we feel every step of the way, and so each of us exits this shared experience with a slightly different feeling about what just happened.

If we want to get on the same page with one another, and garner a better understanding of reality, we must do a little work.

Perspective is Everything – Blindfold people and put an elephant in front of them – each person’s interpretation.

PerspectiveOur wide-range of different painful past experiences: Being deeply heartbroken, lost our parents, siblings or children to accidents and illnesses, dealt with infidelity, fired from jobs discriminated against for various reasons, being bullied, etc. At times, we experience a situation that triggers our painful story from the past, it shifts our perspective in the present – it narrows it.

It’s just a defence mechanism to protect us from uncertainty and fear. Our mind does not like the discomfort of uncertainty and fear. So, our mind uses the information from our past stories to eliminate the doubts and fears. Our old stories and past experiences are filters to make better sense of everything in the present. And while this approach works sometimes, other times our old stories and past experiences hinder us.

This is where a little reframing helps us move forward. Reframing tools have been proven to change our thoughts and stretch our perspectives. Today, I want to take a brief look at one of these reframing tools with you…

1 Simple Phrase that can change your thinking:

“There is a real possibility that …” – A Reframing Tool

Many of the biggest misunderstandings in life could be avoided if we would simply take the time to ask, Is there another side to the story.

Here’s how it works…

“There is a real possibility that …” can be applied to any life situation,

For example, perhaps your boyfriend didn’t call you in the morning like they said they would. You’re feeling upset because you’re obviously not important to him. When you catch, yourself feeling this way, use the phrase:

“The story I am telling myself is that he didn’t call me because I’m not important to him.”

Then ask yourself:

  1. Is it true? (Yes or no. If no, move to 3.)
  2. Can I absolutely know that it’s true? (Yes or no.)
  3. How do I feel and behave, what happens, when i believe that thought or story?

Give yourself the space to think it all through with an open mind and kindness.

“I don’t know why he has not called yet, but there is a real possibility that…”

  1. “…he is extremely busy at work.”
  2. “…he had an early meeting so he switched off his phone.”
  3. “…his phone battery is dead.”
  4. “…forgot his phone in the car.”
  5. Etc.

Challenge Yourself to Think Differently

“There is a real possibility that…” and the three related questions gives you a tool for revisiting and reframing confusing situations that arise in your life. Detach yourself from the stories you’re telling yourself. Go deeper into reality. Don’t just look at the surface. Explore. Observe without presuming. Discover. With an objective mindset, which allows you to make better decisions and choices about everything.

So, challenge yourself to use this tool… to think differently.

“Who knows what you’ll see when you stop looking through a lens drastically narrowed by half-truths, and you start seeing things with a clearer mind. Maybe you’ll start seeing things you never saw before. Maybe you’ll start experiencing things you never experienced before. Maybe you’ll learn lots of new lessons you needed to learn. And maybe you’ll gradually become the person you always knew you could be.”

Thought for the Road…

At the very least, I hope this post reminds you that positive thinking isn’t about expecting the best to happen every time – it’s about accepting what happens every moment, being aware and objective, and making the very best of every situation.

Think Better Do Better Live Better!

Fears, Failures and Fat

fears failures and fat

Fears, Failures and Fat

Oh darling! These words feel so cosy and comfortable. They may have been your friend or foe for a long time. Depends your relationship with them.

We LIVING in the world of FLAWS = FEAR + FAILURES + FAT

This world of flaws may seem big but in fact you have been living very small.

In the world of Flaws, it can be debilitating and limiting. Its creates stories that keep you back in life and not allow you to try new things or engage with new people. The inner voice of fears, failures and fat is very tricky and naughty. Conjuring up stories to convince you that you are broken and need to be fixed. A few of the stories that live in the world of Flaws are:

I am so fat

I am ugly

I am not pretty

I am such a failure and looser

I earn little money

I have such a small house

My thighs are so fat.

I am boring

I am so weak

I am not educated enough

I am not smart enough

I am plain Jane

I hate myself for not being able to say no

I haven’t handled that situation very well.

People don’t like me…..

Do some of the stories in the world of Flaws seem as your own?

All our “flaws” are based on our own interpretations and perspectives. We fixate about certain aspects of our body, our appearance, our personality, our life, our work and consider them as “flawed.”

We all experience a sense of feeling flawed in certain aspects of our lives and at times in life. It’s a natural human condition. There is absolutely nothing wrong feeling this way. We all want to feel whole and have a sense of belonging. But, feeling flawed can rob us of our energy, our passion, our happiness, our confidence, and living our life. It’s one of the most painful ways to live and can result in a very dissatisfied life.

So, you see living in the world of Flaws is not so wonderful!!!

I would love to live in a world of Flawsome.

Ok I know it sounds weird.

In the world of Flawsome we are flawed and fabulous at the same time. And it’s a great place to be. Now you must be curious how can one be flawed and fab at once. Well you can …

3 steps to live in the world of Flawsome (fears, Failures, fat, fabulous)

Step 1  Lets get real about your flaws

Acknowledge the limitations, weaknesses, faults, failings, inadequacies, imperfections, shortcomings. We just bringing them to light without judgement. We are not running away or avoiding them anymore. There is a personal power and freedom in acknowledging them.

Step 2 Feeling the Flaws

Express your underlying feelings for your perceived flaws. Is it fear or shame? Do you feel angry about something at work or with your career? Sad about people treating you badly? All these feelings create a sense discomfort, pain and unease. In these situations, we tend to suppress our emotions. The memory of the painful situation gets bottled up. By giving these feelings a voice you can unhook and unlock from the memory of the situation.

Step 3 Love being Flawsome

View your flaws with kindness and compassion. Love your flaws – this creates a safe space to accept our flaws and give us the courage to change our mindset about them. It allows healing and creates place for new possibilities, new stories to be told.

A world in which we can adore our flaws and fab side by side. Where the light and dark co-exist. Where we can love our fears, failures & fat. Being whole. Exploring, Discovering, Becoming. Where there is a possibility of living, large and light.

This is the world of Flawsome.

 Would you like to live there?

Take Care of YOURSELF Today

take care of yourself today

I was “taking good care of myself.”

I joined a fancy health and fitness club.

Life was good. I worked hard, I played hard. The end. That was the story of my Life.

In reality it was hardly that simple or great. There was a whole lot of commotion in my life that I was trying to resolve and juggle. Building my house, renovating my office, building my business, running a household, working at my marriage, worrying about parents & keeping up with friends. How was I doing it all? I was thriving. But people close to me didn’t think so.

It was mentioned (a few times) in passing by family members & friends: “You have too much on your plate. You’ll burnout be careful” I remember becoming very irritated and defensive once. I responded, “Don’t worry about me I really do take good care of myself. I can handle it.”

After all, I worked out 4 days a week. I ate healthy wholesome meals. I drank 2 litres of water daily. I had weekly lunches with my bestie. I scheduled massages when I was stressed or overwhelmed. And, on most nights I even slept a minimum of six hours. I took really good care of myself – so I thought! Hmmm….

On the inside: I buried vulnerability. I played the resilience card. I sought out quick-fixes. And I convinced myself I was okay. Unknowingly, I placed a label on emotions: “I’ll deal with it later. Not now please emotions.”:

Along the overachieving path of success and ambition, I disconnected from myself. I did not know how to take care of my inner world. One day I found myself sleeping hugging a pillow, with a deep wound and sadness. The ache made my stomach hurt and my head throb. I was not okay.  I fell apart inside!

After a few intense days of deep seated pain, I was gifted with a new awareness. I paused. Made simple and easy changes in my daily routine to include internal nurturing and nourishing.

Suddenly, the world took on a different appearance—a kinder, more meaningful, more abundant, and compassionate glow.

This is how I did it. Self-care is doing little things for yourself. Self-care is a lifestyle! Self-care is all about treating yourself with love & kindness.

My simple strategy for everyday self-care is “mini retreats”.

Mini retreats are bite-sized self-care rituals that can comfortably fit your life and bring gigantic stress relief.

3 easy steps to create a totally do-able self-care plan tailor made for YOU in 15 minutes

Step 1 – Brainstorming

Set aside 10 minutes to brainstorm what would you like to do in your mini-retreats

I’d love to……. Just jot down as many as you like. No wrong or right. Don’t worry about time, money or when. Just enjoy the dreaming, exploring, discovering. e.g. sitting at a coffee shop reading, attending a yoga class, learning to dance, meditating, journaling, celebrating good things of the day, visit Paris, go skiing…

Step 2 – Organising

Select 3-5 activities on your list that you can implement easily and quickly. Minimal time, money or planning. I  call them Simple Pleasures

Of course, it would be great to start incorporating ALL of the activities into your life but since you may already feel time restraints, we need to prioritise.

Select 1 activity that will create fireworks in your life. Make you feel good about yourself

Select a 2nd one that will have lasting impact throughout the day

Select a 3rd one that you can do right now.

Step 3 Planning

Pick 1 from step 2 which mini retreat would love to start this week. Grab your calendar and book these mini retreats for this week! Voila!

A simple self-care plan JUST FOR YOU.

Its time to Take care of yourself!

10 Ways to Beat the Holiday Blues

10 ways to beat the holidays blues

Beat the Holiday Blues!

As the holiday season rolls in, we are overwhelmed by the impression we’re all supposed to be leaping into a constant stream of parties, big happy family dinners, and heaps of presents. Well, it’s been my experience that some holidays are busy and exciting, but some they’re not. Some years they’re bittersweet and some years they’re incredibly difficult. Whether it’s financial strain, family issues, illness, loss, loneliness or something else altogether, the season can be rough and tough! SIGH THE HOLIDAY BLUES

If the upcoming holiday season is looking to be tricky to navigate, here are a few alternatives to feeling blue. They’re definitely more fun than sighing into your coffee mug or packet of snack every time a Christmas commercial comes on TV. Oh yeah, I’ve been there too.

Let’s explore some interesting options to beat the holiday blues :

  1. Have a Get Together

Some years it’s just not possible to be with family during the holidays and it doesn’t mean you have to be alone. Instead of spending the day moping in your home, have an impromptu group dinner, which can turn into a great night of conversations and playing board games. So, if you think you’re alone because you can’t go home, think again. See what co-workers, neighbours, or friends are up to, and you may be surprised. There could be a communal holiday dinner waiting to happen.

  1. Be Creative Make something.

During the holidays all commercials convince us that holiday happiness = buy me buy me please buy me. We all know that’s not true, but it can still be hard to show up to holiday functions empty handed. Sometimes money is short, but that doesn’t mean you can’t do/make something special. It’s a great time to become creative. I have a friend who makes stunningly yummy chocolates, wraps them up, and hands them out as gifts. It’s like getting a big box of specialised gourmet chocolates, but instead of spending a lot of money, she uses her time and skill. Don’t be afraid about tapping into your talents to make gifts. Maybe you’re a baker: offer to bake cakes. Maybe you’re a gifted artist or a photographer. Paint something, sew something, frame something, bake something, craft something, whatever you’re good at, make it and share it.

  1. Get in touch with your home.

If you’re have no reason to celebrate the holidays, use your creative energy and extra time off to fix up your place. That’s what I did during one holiday season. I was going through some heartbreak (always fun around the holidays), working most of the holidays, my dad was recovering from major surgery and there was nothing particularly eventful to mark the days. Tired of sulking around, I decided to repaint my room. I picked up a 5 litre of paint at a local store, painted late into the night while listening to holiday music and drinking happy juice. It turned out to be a deep evening of introspection and I woke up the next morning (with stiff used muscles) in a freshly painted room. To my surprise, it felt like a small victory for me (moving on up).

  1. Get excited about the New Year: Dream BIG!

Even if nothing is wrong, some holidays are just kind of lifeless and there isn’t much going on. Instead of feeling blue get excited about things to do and places to go in the coming New Year. Connect with forgotten dreams. Dream new dreams. Envision all the possibilities. Draft plans. Having a trip, project or goal on the horizon can make those dull New Year’s Eves less of a bummer.

  1. Gift of Giving

This holidays do something different. Volunteer for a charity over the holidays. Ask friends to join you. For so many, the holidays are incredibly difficult because their basic needs are not met, and this is where we can help. Plenty organizations or companies are looking for volunteers to help with clothes, food, toy drives or meal-related events around the holidays. Google local opportunities to volunteer your time.

  1. Be a chum.

It’s easy to fall into a bad mood when times are tough, but chances are there’s probably someone you know who is having an even rougher time. Take a look around and see who could use a hand. Maybe a friend just lost a job or is going through a break-up: take them out to dinner or for a drink. Volunteer to babysit for someone you know desperately needs a night out. Put some extra cash in the coffee shop tip jar. Wink at a handsome old man. Compliment someone. Smile at a crabby store cashier, Greet the cleaning crew at the office, you get the gist. Little gestures can make a big impact on another person’s day, and you can boost your own mood just by being thoughtful. It’s a phenomenon called helper’s high, and it refers to your body’s natural release of happy hormones.

  1. Take a hike, Mike

I mean that in the nicest way possible, as in, truly, take a hike! Really, is there anything better than a long walk to clear your head? For me, that means wandering through the city listening to my favourite music with no destination in mind. For you that could mean hiking a favourite trail while listening to the rhythm of nature, or a solitary walk along the beach or silently through the botanical gardens. For some just browsing quietly through their favourite department store can be soothing.

  1. Travel – Local is Lekker.

Solo leisure travel during the holidays. I love this idea! If you have some extra money but no real plans, why not use the time off to go somewhere new somewhere exotic? A Spontaneous spot! Adventure is always a grand idea, and isn’t there something completely charming about Safari Lodges during the holidays? It’s like extreme coziness with a twist.

  1. Re-connect with a phone call or over coffee.

It is holiday season, so why not use this time to truly reconnect with a forgotten friend? We may be “friends” with everyone we’ve ever known online, but there is no real connection. It’s cold and impersonal. It’s safe and void of real meaningful conversations. It definitely doesn’t compare with hearing someone’s voice or catching up as you awkwardly eat complicated Indian meal with your hands at Raj Indian restaurant.

  1. Unplug

Unplug from text messages, social media and email. It is a major presence in our lives and it’s primarily an incredible tool for communicating and connecting. During the holidays social media can create additional anxiety and stress. Comparing with the Jones can a very lively activity during the holiday season. Sometimes the last thing we need to be thinking about is what fancy restaurants our friends are at or how fortunate someone is because they’re having the perfect party. Sometimes it’s helpful to not know what everyone else is up to. Just be present and enjoy your occasion or function.

It is the season to be jovial. You can make it so despite any hardship you may currently be facing. And, hey, if all else fails, there’s always eggnog spiked with rum, brandy, or bourbon! 🙂

Jokes aside, how do you beat the holiday blues?

5 Things To Do When You Feel Overwhelmed

Posted by Anjana Lala on
 September 29, 2015
Art of Happiness Institute

I hear from readers weekly who thank me for what I write. They are overwhelmed, they are depressed, they are stressed, they are frustrated, they are anxious. They need a word of encouragement. They need to know they are not alone. There is hope and support in these difficult times. There is someone out there who understands or perhaps even can relate to your feelings and what you going through.

Many of us feel overwhelmed at times. Sometimes it may be a temporary situation, a crazy busy weekend, job deadlines. Or it may be that you are caring for a chronically ill family member. Maybe you are struggling with an illness. Maybe your husband/partner left you and you feel lonely and overwhelmed. It can be many things, each unique. I wish that the suggestions can give you a little glimpse of hope. Give you a little direction a starting point.

5 Things to do when you feel overwhelmed

  1. Accept that you can’t do it all.  Admit that you put so much pressure on yourself to TRY to do it all, but you can’t. its just not possible. Time wise and humanly. Look to your Higher Self or Source, and admit that you are but human, and you can’t do everything. I think that some of my most miserable times are when I am trying to do everything in my own strength instead of looking to the Universe for help, wisdom, and strength.
  2. Accept that some things are just not going to get done. I know this one can be a very difficult one for the perfectionists, fusspots. It won’t be the end of the world, I promise. Yes it true. Even things that feel are very important may not get done, and you will find that you can survive, intact, by things not getting done.
  3. Set up a Triage center for your life. By applying the principals of triage to your own life, you can figure out which things can be ignored without danger, and those things that must be addressed immediately. Life or death? Most stuff fall in-between the grey area. It’s  prioritising what is important and what is not.  In the same way, consider each and every area of your life. Examine each activity and responsibility and determine its overall importance to your life and your sanity at this point. Decide what level of importance each thing is.
  4. Learn to practice intentional neglect. In certain seasons of our lives, especially in times of being overwhelmed, it is completely alright to NOT do certain things. Or do things less often than you might normally like to.  Is it really going to matter if you change your sheets every week, or can you go 2 weeks? Convenience foods may be your only sanity right now, it is okay to use them. You may need to sweep your floors every second or third day. Trust me You and your family will survive.
  5. Ask for help. Admit to those around you that you need help. I know your pride and independence can get effected to ask for assistance. Muster up the courage and ask for help. You will NOT be regarded as weak. In fact it takes alot of inner strength to ask for help. If you have friends or family offering you their help, tell them yes and give them something they can do to help. Your pride will still remain intact. I Promise!

I really hope you found some tips and direction to get you started from the 5 things to do when you feel overwhelmed.
