I have always been big on writing To-Do Lists. It helps me clear the chaos in my mind and focus. I pen down daily and weekly goals for the things I need to accomplish. This works for me as I have always thrived on routine and structure. Having said that, there are times when I…
Why It’s Important To Embrace Our Uniqueness
We all know that we, as humans, have a lot in common. We are similar biologically and we pretty much feel the same spectrum of emotions too. But the similarity ends there.
How Much Power Do Our Thoughts Have?
Do you feel that your thoughts come in response to what is happening around you, and what you observe? I certainly used to feel so. But then I came across a book called The Secret. It introduced (to me) a concept called as Law of Attraction, which stated that we attract what we think. This…
Keeping it Simple
I once read somewhere that the best proof of someone’s intelligence is their ability to simplify the complex. The people who are confident in their knowledge do not hesitate to share it with others in a way that is easily understood. Whereas, people who attempt to talk over people’s heads through the use of overly…

Is Optimism An Attribute or A Choice? | A Story of An Optimist
Do you consider yourself to be an optimist? I sure think of myself as an optimist. Most of us would answer that question with an unequivocal YES. After all, it’s much nicer to be known as a positive person who sees the silver lining on every dark cloud. Nobody likes to hang out with Ms….
Why You Must Prioritize Self Care, Nurture Yourself, and Be Your Own Mother
A few weeks ago, I came across an interesting article in a magazine. It was titled ‘Becoming your Own Mother’. At first, I thought why would anyone want to be their own mother? Then I figured that this must either be about how women turn out to be like their mothers, or an article about…
Action Steps For When You Lack Motivation
It is said that with the right motivation, one can accomplish anything. However, motivation is not magical fairy dust, which is going to be sprinkled on us by our fairy god mother. Neither does it come in a bottle. There is no green pill for it. But it is something that we can tap into…
