5 Ways to Colour Your Life with Happiness

Posted by Anjana Lala on

Colour Your Life with Happiness.

Soon it will be the festival of colour or Happy Holi, celebrated by Hindus all over the world.

This year it’s on 21 March 2019

In the Southern hemisphere, we are in full force summer. Abundance of colour all around us. Caressing the eyes, soothing the senses, igniting our lives with passion and excitement. The vivid hues tantalising our taste and thirst for a vibrant life. Dazzling our dreams with pulsating energy. At times calming our minds and warming our hearts. A gentle glow glimmer of hope.

I love infusing colour in my life to create Happiness, Hope and Harmony. Every morning when I awake I ponder my day and select the colour that is needed for the day. Some days are filled with positive events and activities that are full of bright colours. Other days are filled with challenges that are dark and sombre. I love to use the rainbow of colours to start the day. It’s fun and easy way to create positivity and richness in your life. Colours invoke our emotions – either positively or negatively. Let’s see how we can use colours to impact our lives and happiness. (Scientist say colours can influence your mood)

15 Qualities of AUDACIOUS SUCCESSFUL Women

AUDACIOUS SUCCESSFUL Women

Audacious women are successful. I have witnessed so many women online, professional women, celebrities, women in my life, I have read about them, watched them on TV. Audacious women who inspire me are Ellen DeGeneres, Oprah, Jane Goodman, Amelia Earhart, Junko Tabei, Zinc heroes – Sister Sudha Varghese, Coco Chanel, unlikely heroes, dreamers, and doers. These are ordinary women with extraordinary qualities.

Here are their extraordinary qualities that I think are common to these powerful ordinary women:

They have big dreams
They are confident and highly curious
They believe in themselves
They live by their own rules
They are alive and full of vitality
They are highly motivated
They don’t sweat the small stuff
They just do it – Keeping it simple and organised
They understand the duality of failure and success
They take themselves seriously – consistent and persistent
They are continually learning and flexible
They understand connection is currency
They know where and how to direct their energies in life.
They play on their strengths and talents
They continually challenge themselves to new success stories

These audacious women are seemingly tireless, relentlessly dedicated and endlessly curious. There’s always more, always better, always further to go further to reach further to climb…

The amazing part of this whole story is that these ladies are just like you and me (ordinary). Their extraordinary lives were not handed to them on a silver platter. They struggled, strained & stressed on their journey to success. They are ordinary people living extraordinary lives. They’re highly intelligent and sharply focused. From a distance, it may seem they have magical powers or come across as superwoman. But they ordinary women with extraordinary character and mind.

They have clarity of mind, strength of character and surety of passion & purpose.

Are you an Audacious Successful Woman?

15 Things Successful Women STOP DOING

15 Things Successful Women STOP DOING

Stop doing what you doing if it’s not working!

“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Albert Einstein

Learning from your experience is such a powerful skill. Many successful women acquire a “realisation” (over time) – they stop the old way of doing things. It’s a moment of splendour, insight and a huge AHA moment. It’s so great to be in this space. Can you imagine the possibilities and opportunities for new dreams and goals?

Here are the universal lessons that successful smart women learn and grasp. Its these insights that drive them to thrive in life. Propel them to flourish and prosper.

Successful women STOP …

Doing things, the old way that did not work
Relying on the outer world for validation and approval
Being all things to all people
Complaining , comparing and being a copycat
Trying to be perfect
Trusting anybody or anything that seems too perfect
Focusing on short gratification and keep their sight on their long-term vision
Being distracted by short term disruptions and instant results
Trying to change other people
Assuming and expecting. They act, measure, revolve, adjust & move forward.
Doing everything themselves. They learn to delegate and ask for help.
Letting circumstances define them.
Blaming others and themselves for their mistakes. They acknowledge, accept learn and move on
Carelessly and thoughtlessly trusting the venture. They gather relevant information that would impact them personally
Pleasing others. They remain true to their own self, values and ethics

Smart successful women are not superwoman. They are human like you and me. They mess up like you and me. These women feel the pain of messing up like you and me. Smart women don’t want to experience pain again. They are willing to understand what caused it, change their game plan never to repeat it again……

What are you willing to stop doing to be successful?

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?

Strong Woman

What is a strong woman?

Women standing into their power. Unleashing the Goddess energy. Embracing the divine feminine. I am proud for the women march that took place. I was far away but my heart was with them.

I am not for Woman’s Lib or a radical feminist. I am not in competition with men. I don’t want to be like men. I am all woman. I embrace my natural qualities as a woman. I am sassy, classy, intelligent, talented, strong, funny, fierce and so much more. I am a woman.

For eons women and young girls have been subject to prejudice, misogyny and discrimination by society and culture. It’s great to see woman uniting, marching for a common cause – their fundamental right to exist and freedom of choice.

The women showed up with her own essence. In the spirit of love. Striving and thriving with her own feminine essence. (They came from every corner of society). I urge you to be a strong woman- Drop the tough hard male persona. This world need strong women. Real women today. We need to be the new leaders directing this world to change. A different way to making decisions, finding solutions, with heart and mind – to bring harmony and peace to this world. It’s a matter of our fundamental rights to exist, our safety and dignity. Doing all this with compassion, power, encouragement, vulnerability, love and integrity

So, my question to you:

Are you a woman standing in her own power?

You don’t have to be Mother Teresa or Joan of Arc.

What are you willing to do in your world to lead by being a Real Women of Today?

Are you standing up as a Goddess of change or waiting for life to pass you by?
