Better Living

Today I searched the Google for "What to do when you are super sad?" These are some #tried.and.tested ideas you can try for yourselves. 1. Go walking: Take a stroll around. Observe the birds flying together, squirrels cracking the nuts, trees waving with the wind and the children playing. If you're a silent and simple person, you'll definitely feel better for sometime. 2. Help someone As they say, the more you give, the more shall you recieve. The goodness shall revert to you. 🙂 3. Say hello Talk to somebody who understands you. Talk to somebody you like meeting or listening to. Its not necessary to talk about why you are sad. Talk about anything you can! 4. Listen to good notes This is the easiest way out. Listen to a good lecture- preferably philosophical. It may or may not be religious as such. Access it on you tube or visit a 'satsang' if you wish. 5. Read a good book This helps you in two ways. One it allows you a temporary refuge from reality and two, i...

 HI THERE! Are you, like me, tired of trying to sincerely amend a habit of yours but still failing? This article is 'the one' for you!  Let's find #thenextstepahead. I recommend you just not read this article. Build a key for yourself with this guide. Get a pen and paper please! Or just answer yourselves as you read.  First of all,  what is the habit you need to amend. One at a time please. Remember you will work for it sincerely, it should be hence, feasible. Second, why are you not able to resist it. What pulls you back? Is it more important than your goal? Be tough. Third,  what do you love more than this one thing that pulls you back? Which one can you sacrifice? Which one do you want to retain? Fourth, think of a reward you can treat yourself with. Remember, it has to be powerful enough to allow you to refrain form your habit efficiently. I personally suggest a movie or serial that is telecasted once a day/week or month, or anything else that is periodic so...

There are times when loneliness sucks up all other emotions, leaving us in the state of thoughtlessness. Things seem gloomy for no reason and heart argues to leave everything behind. If you are one of those special people who have experienced this, this one is for you. And if you haven't ever felt that actually, stay tuned, you'll get through that better. What i do at those times is- i) Take off the clock. Because it's actually time that you fear of. Else is in your hands. ii) Switch off the lights and sit in a corner, silencing all arguments. iii) Play some good soothing music to lure away my heart and head to the peaceful places. iv) Recall good memories and laugh over my collection of not-so-funny jokes. v) Smile, for no reason, or in fact for every reason i can formulate. A smile solves it all. vi) Scribble randomly on a sheet of paper vii) exercise a bit to just distract myself  Try and tell me what works for you! Life is easy, just let yourselves breath. Work at your ...

Presently, when technology has become a savior in these times of distress, there are times when our devices cease supporting our 'one click and done' formula. This becomes even more stressful in case this happens during our online classes or meetings. What to do to prevent this from happening and what to do if this happens- all solutions here. so this is the NEXT STEP AHEAD. #tried.and.tested 1. When mobiles and laptops have become an essential support, you must ensure you take good care of them.     i) Handle them carefully. They just can't be lying anywhere as your books, because they are way more sensitive.   ii) Just as you work the best when your stomach is satisfied, they too do so. Ensure they have a good battery while you work. This will not just increase their output but will also prevent unnecessary reminders from disturbing you while you're focused.  iii) Let the memory be as free as possible. Remove the aps you don't need. This will help with the ...

The sky may be dark, the sky may be sad But you have to smile to it and say I can find the grin you hide among the clouds What if the sun is not evident today  I know that you too wanna let the birds roam let them silently fly by or hear their chubby chirpy melody that they sing as they soar high I know you wanna settle safe  among the yellow rays that fall you just close your eyes peacefully see how they shine at your call I know you wanna watch the people there chanting prayers up to you you just need to smile at them and wait for the blessings they offer you Try stretching your lips all over your face try pulling up your cheeks and stay alert to catch hold of the happiness that quietly peeks Say cheeze😃🙌

For those who often forget what at all were they doing or those, like me, who rarely remember the instructions they were to obey before going to sleep, here's something you can try that might prevent you from the rebukes you are used to.  #Tried.and.tested Look for the NEXT STEP AHEAD 1. MAKE A SMALL DIARY As you might have been suggested by someone, maintaining a small diary to remember the alloted tasks is actually a good idea. just pen down your work as you are assigned it. open the diary whenever you feel you're forgetting something.  2. USE PINS In case you can't keep a diary in the pocket always, another interesting way is to pin a clip on your top or shirt to remind you of a task. whenever you'll touch it, you'll be reminded for why it is there. 3. GOOGLE CALENDAR The online diary, this is the new gen way of staying in pace with your tasks. Simple and sorted. Leave it all on the tech. 4. RELATE AND REASON In case you have no pockets and believe enough on your...

Conversations are real stress busters. But how tasteless and difficult would have our conversations been had we not been able to roll on the floor laughing at someone's joke or approve an idea with a thumbs up. In this world of perpetually advancing technology, which enables us to stay connected and close, emojis are the soul of all our conversations, accurately expressing our emotions while we are not face to face to read each other's looks. How would have you known whether the message sent was a joke until it is accompanied by two laughing smileys. 😂 10 LESSER KNOWN EMOJIS Here are some emojis we often use differently from what they actually mean- 1. THE CONFOUNDED FACE😖 This just does not mean being confused or not liking something. This represents extreme distaste or uneasiness.  2. INFORMATION DESK PERSON💁 If you use for 'anyways' that's okay, but then anyways this represents a lady at the information desk, ready to answer your queries. 3. SWEAT DROPLETS 💦 ...

Lying in the middle of the week, with the targets set to be met these days left unmatched, Wednesdays perfectly represent our present. If you are wondering what to do now, here's the NEXT STEP. 1. REVIEW your goals Every week brings a fresh opportunity which we enthusiastically organise. In case those plans could not be fulfilled, ENLIST the leftovers. 2. PRIORITISE Look for what needs immediate attention while what can be attended later. 3. CUT AND PASTE Remove the goals which can't practically be met. Schedule yourselves practically not ideally. Cut the unnecessary tasks, paste the priority ones. 4. ORGANIZE Complete the spaces with sometime to let yourselves accomodate with what you need to do. You cannot instantly switch from one task to another. Add breaks wherever required.
