				<p>Why look for meaning in life? My &#8216;long&#8217; quest for meaning somehow ended today morning as I took a walk. I know I write about this often but my final verdict is that there is no meaning to life, life is meaningless so stop right there! </p><p>For those who are doing the work that will earn them a legacy or leave many people crying behind them when they die, I hate it to break your myth – even this is just another form of attachment that you are holding onto. It is different when you do a certain kind of work because it makes you feel whole and content instead of hoping to change lives in order to leave a legacy. That is the harsh truth we may not want to acknowledge because we like to feel grand about ourselves. We are nobody, we are insignificant and in a split of a second we may perish!</p><p>We humans don’t chase meaning, in essence we chase ‘hope’ because we are looking for a reason to keep going. Somehow it makes sense why we create our own little world in the form of family because then we have hope alive in our life in the form of the next generation. </p><p>For many people whose life is centered around the service of humanity I do strongly believe that it makes them feel whole and content that is why they are doing that work. Irrespective of our conditioning where we have been taught that human life is about service, it is indeed not. Human life is only about coming into this world, experiencing whatever one can during the time we have on earth and leave without any &#8216;unhealthy&#8217; attachments. Therefore please do not hold onto the idea &#8216;who will cry when you die&#8217; because in reality you won’t even know who came to your funeral. It doesn’t matter. All that matters is how you felt while you were alive. </p><p>As humans, we have a constant need for growth and expansion which is why we keep seeking new experiences. If whatever you do today brings you joy then do it. And I am sure humans who hurt others do not feel joy. Our default setting is to feel joy when we practice kindness and compassion. As much as we want to receive love we have this innate burning desire of also giving love which is why we have children. They make us feel whole not because of society’s pressure but because we humans are wired like that. I think over time the basic family unit which was meant to give us joy became like a ‘to do’ list because the society created pressure instead of giving us freedom to decide for ourselves. That is why the institution of marriage is dying. We do not focus on being whole at an individual level hence we find bad relationships in the form of marriage or otherwise.</p><p>In essence the people who selling us holiday packages, preaching to us about finding meaning are all actually just selling us some hope disguised as activity. When we are busy working we look forward to taking that holiday by the beach or in the mountains, it is just a pinch of hope. When children go to school they look forward to school holidays after exams, it is just a pinch of hope. When we work hard we look forward to the reward in the form of money, it is also a pinch of hope. When we lose a dear one we grieve but hope that the pain in our heart will soothe someday. Hope has the power to keep us uplifted and going through life and therefore humans keep looking for new things to hold on to. Unfortunately hope must be entangled with patience if we have to go through life. And somehow the technology and the age we live in has taught us to expect loading results at the click of a button which is making us impatient, I am afraid we are losing the skills of ‘going through life’ and I feel sorry for the next generation kids who were brought into this world as a result of our craving for hope but are now being wired into being impatient. Never mind that because humanity doesn’t give up, we will soon build mechanisms and systems to counter this too. </p><p>I am a hopeless optimist and I truly believe that the business of selling ‘hope’ will always be the most sought after. Look at the influencers, they are also selling hope by showcasing their best life and people follow them because they feel hopeful to be like them someday. The missing link is the roadmap to get to living your best life. </p><p>What do you want today? Think about it and create an actionable plan. And don’t worry about finding your true self because I have experienced that it keeps changing with time. Nothing is cast in stone, not even your true self. The true self in essence is just our soul which has decided to come into this material world to collect experiences and learn lessons, that is it! And if you are stagnant you cannot learn new lessons or experience life, therefore keep moving, keep having new goals, that is all there is. However, do have some daily practices/rituals to manage your energies because there is enough noise (and people) around us to destabilize our centre. Stay focused on being grounded all the time if you want to lead a high quality life. Discipline is non-negotiable in all this.</p><p>Just keep living through each experience my friend and keep holding on to the light of hope!</p><p>Do not worry about nature, it will look after itself. <span style="font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );">We are not more powerful </span><span style="font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );">than nature. </span><span style="font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );">The planet has its own cycle. </span><span style="font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );">Just do whatever you can at your level to look after the </span><span style="font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );">environment but do not stress beyond that.</span></p><p> </p><p>We cannot create for others but we can create for ourselves. We cannot control others but we can control ourselves. We must take responsibility of our life, that is all there is!</p><p> </p><p>Whatever bothers you today is your work, tomorrow it will be something else and that will be your work, nothing lasts forever so be flexible and embrace the changing tide of life.</p><p>Keep striving to make it work but also know when it is time to let go and make way for the new!</p><p><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 14pt; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );">Much Love,</span></p><p><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 14pt; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );">Rashmi Yadav</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; color: #222222;">Free Image credit &#8211; </span><a style="font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); background-color: #ffffff;" href="https://pixabay.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; color: #0563c1;">https://pixabay.com/</span></a></p><p><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span></p><p style="background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> </span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> </span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> e</span></p>					</div>

				<p>I have been eager to write for quite some time but other activities kept me so busy that I kept losing my trail of thoughts until this morning.</p><p>This morning as I look out from my window I can’t stop getting my eyes off these birds who are in a flock just enjoying their flight in the beautiful light blue sky with white cotton candy clouds. They are happily chirping and flying since more than an hour now. I went did a few chores, came back gearing for my meeting which was eventually cancelled but still found them doing the same thing I had left them doing earlier. Going round in circles, then flying high up and coming down, then crossing each other in straight paths, curved paths, each doing their own thing just enjoying their flight. They are so many of them, I tried counting them but I couldn’t keep track.</p><p>They are not bound by time, space or goals. They are truly free which we humans somehow are not. We made this convenient modern world for ourselves where we are locked in our own cages, where we just cannot ‘be’ without looking at the clock. We are slaves of time and our own needs, more like greed, our need of expansion keeps us on the move all the time.</p><p>I have always felt that if I don’t grow then what the point of life is without even wondering or questioning the need for the growth that I keep seeking. Once our basic survival needs are met why aren’t we satisfied? Why do we want more and more? And because we don’t know what to acquire we keep acquiring whatever physical form of things we can see and touch. But I found myself growing beyond that too and caught up in another cage. There are enough pressures in this modern world to keep us busy.</p><p>Once you get beyond acquiring material things, there are people pushing you to look for your ‘purpose’. It has become a big business to help people discover their purpose. And purpose somehow is sold as being something very huge and impactful and most people seem to think their purpose is to change the world. I used to be one of them, not anymore. I don’t think we even understand these games of the modern world. These self- inflicted pressures and cages that we build for ourselves only leave us drained and even more disappointed.</p><p>That again leads us to the same question – why are we not free?</p><p>Why do we constantly need to become something more than who we are at the moment? Why can’t the purpose of life be ‘freedom’? Freedom from our never ending needs, freedom from worries of the future, freedom from greed.</p><p>As if our personal responsibilities aren’t enough we have one more thing to worry about and that is ‘universal responsibility’. When two of my favourite teachers Mo Gawdat and Gabor Mate sat down to talk about the situation in Gaza, Mo said in today’s world we have access to information that only burdens us because we do not have the capacity to do anything to change the situation. Gabor said our responsibility is to ‘not be passive’ and speak up against the wrong happenings. Are these birds speaking up or just being? I guess they do not need to because in the animal kingdom they do not inflict pain for reasons beyond survival. This happens only in the human world, this one that we have created for ourselves.</p><p>Being a teacher at heart I have this urge to always share everything that I know and anything new that I learn but I want to do them in ways that do not create any pressure on me. I am always told that if I want my voice to reach the audience I have to be posting on social media every single day; not my cup of tea. Does that mean I am not doing my bit?</p><p>But the law of attraction says I just need to be myself, try to be as happy and as rested as I can be, have as much fun as I can but striving to be on social media all the time to get people to listen to me is not my idea of fun. Looks like we have to ‘be’.</p><p>Anita Moorjani says our purpose must fulfill ourselves not stress us.</p><p>So many teachers, so many different teachings. Which school of thought is right?</p><p>I used to write regularly for fun and put up my content on my website for leaving a legacy for anybody who will be seeking answers to life’s journey and might resonate with me. But when I got caught up in making this my profession I stopped enjoying it. I do not want to compete with anybody else so today when I write only for myself I feel free, I switched off my phone and kept pouring my heart. It feels liberating.</p><p>I do not think our purpose is meant to be an external affair, it is very much an internal affair and from my understanding I feel that our purpose is only to discover our authentic self and just be. Just be like a flower who doesn’t care about competing with another flower. It spreads its fragrance, takes part in pollination and dies when time comes. We are so caught up in ‘doing’ that even the people pushing us to discover our purpose have made it a ‘doing’ thing not a ‘being’ thing. And that’s exactly the difference between the masculine and the feminine.</p><p>The masculine is all about ‘doing’ and the feminine is all about ‘being’. All good comes about by the feminine that is ‘being’ instead of ‘doing’ because when we are in our ‘being’ mode we create. In case you are wondering if the masculine and feminine refers to the male and female gender then no, it is not like that at all. Irrespective of gender, each one of us is made up of the masculine energy and the feminine energy like the yin and yang; balancing the two within us gives the ultimate sense of harmony and fulfillment.</p><p>Whenever there is imbalance there is destruction because we lose touch with our inner selves. In today’s world there is so much imbalance because we have made the masculine energy dominant. When the masculine becomes dominant in the world, creation starts to cease, hence it is no surprise that so many women in today’s world find conception difficult. It is nature’s way of showing us that we are going wrong. But humanity does not bother taking a clue from this. Humanity is caught up in their drama of ‘doing’ ‘doing’ and more ‘doing’ and anybody who wants to ‘be’ is labelled as complacent. We are social creatures and want to belong so we get up and continue ‘doing’ mindlessly. It is so ingrained in our existence that we run on auto-pilot to keep doing.</p><p>But if we really want to ‘do’ something we must do whatever it takes to discover our authentic selves so that we can ‘be’ and then we will be free of any compulsions driven by the external world.  To be free also means to have such high self-worth that we do not need to justify our existence, much like the birds who do not seek validation, neither does any creature in the animal kingdom. This high self-worth can only come from being our true self and becoming free of our egos. It is our egos that keep us entangled in the dramas of the world. The game of increasing subscribers and followers is also designed to keep us in our cages because with true liberation the tech giants will lose control over humanity.</p><p>It is high time we realize that we are only lured into believing that we are free to make our own choices when we are not. As long as we are social beings the narrative that is driving humanity will always compel us to ‘do’ what others are doing and while we think we are exercising our choices we are actually just designing and building our cages.</p><p><span style="font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );">Break free from your cage, fly away my beautiful bird!</span></p><p><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 14pt; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );">Much Love,</span></p><p><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 14pt; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );">Rashmi Yadav</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; color: #222222;">Free Image credit &#8211; </span><a style="font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); background-color: #ffffff;" href="https://pixabay.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; color: #0563c1;">https://pixabay.com/</span></a></p><p><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span></p><p style="background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> </span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> </span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> </span></p>					</div>

				<p class="MsoNormal">What makes ‘my’ life worth living?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For me it is different things on different days.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Today, it is the beautiful rain that comes pouring in intervals leaving me asking for more. I feel like nature is asking me to wash away any thoughts until the previous moment and restart with a blank state. If only we could live like that every moment without the influence of the previous moment!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sadhguru says we are suffering our memory; it is true because now we know that memory is not just the faculty of the brain but the body holds memory too. So, even if we try we cannot get rid of the memory. It is moulding us every moment. Louise Hay says our life is a sum of our thoughts which is also true but what do we do when we don’t feel enough and therefore go seeking love and validation from loved ones. But we don’t receive it because they are dealing with their own issues. So, as much as we know that we have to surround ourselves with loving relationships to make life meaningful, there is still something beyond that and in my experience it is connecting to our higher self which is beyond this fight of ‘feeling enough’.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The truth is we are all born ‘enough’ but we get lost in the world web which the history makers wove according to their beliefs for mankind to follow. The world as we know is so technologically advanced yet we do not know how to feel one with nature. We do not have the ability to comprehend the workings of this universe which works like a default system with the entities doing their jobs day in day out without being compelled to or to make a living. The sun rises and sets everyday, the rains come and go, the trees shed their leaves to bloom again and life goes on because of them. If one day they decide to step back from doing their part all of us so-called ‘advanced’ humans will perish. That’s the level of our advancement.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There are people preparing to colonize the moon and mars, I cannot express in words the great loss I feel when I see those people in power wasting their resources on such insignificant endeavours when we have 820 million people today on earth who sleep hungry. How come there is no intent to improve the current state of humanity? The so-called developed world has become that by stripping the developing world of their historical wealth and yet they find it suitable to be arrogant sitting on their high horse dictating and regulating behaviours of the rest of the world.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Today, I feel like the only thing worth saving is the environment – nature, rain and soil. The quality of deteriorating soil is only going to make food scarce in future and that time we will see how much of technology will save humanity. We are nothing but dust and will be washed away by nature someday soon if we do not get our act together.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">According to the books, humans are God’s greatest creation but I do not see us doing anything great. We have caused a lot of destruction in the name of development. The only saving grace in all this I believe would be for us to go inward to help us understand ourselves and our role in the universe. I am still hopeful of our human potential.</p>

				<p class="MsoNormal">I have been trying to understand how the law of attraction works. It seems that the principle is we attract ‘who we are’ and ‘not what we want’ or think we deserve.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">That is a concept that goes much deeper than the person we appear or think to be on the surface. So far, I do know that we humans have enough blockages within us to veil our true selves by virtue of our conditioning by our caregivers and the environment. Our true self is the individual unique soul that we are who chose to come into this world in human form in order to evolve spiritually by learning and fulfilling our pre-determined purpose.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If I was to give away the one lesson that I learnt the hard way, it is that we owe it to ourselves to design a life that will give us true happiness and fulfillment. Robert Schwartz, author of the book ‘Your Soul’s Plan’ was asked how do we know if we are on the path chosen by our soul, he simply answered that if you feel life is a chore then you have deviated from your soul’s path and if you are happy then you are on the right path. I couldn’t imagine it being that simple because in our culture we do not value simplicity and contentment. In fact contentment is often mistaken to be complacency and not respected.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But who gets to decide the definition of happiness? Who gets to label you as content or complacent? It has to be you because one of the determining factors of happiness is also ‘Autonomy’. You must take control of your internal environment otherwise you will forever be chasing some illusion more commonly known as ambition set by an external source because you have no idea what you truly want.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Happiness is an internal state and very much a choice which is so simple a concept that people resist it. Also, how dare we say that someone is choosing to be unhappy? Well at least the world situation does show that the majority are choosing to live in states that keep them miserable.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Whatever every individual projects creates a society and every society projects and creates the world. Therefore, if we wish to see a pleasant world then our inside must be pleasant individually. And so we owe it to ourselves to create our pleasant internal environment.</p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Coming back to the law of attraction, if you want to attract happiness then you have to purpose to be happy and it will work best for you when you unravel, accept and honour your true selves.</p>

				<p><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Forgiveness had forever been an elusive concept for me. I never understood why one should forgive someone who has caused them agony. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">After all, in most cases the perpetrator doesn’t even seek forgiveness but we are expected to practice this heart wrenching concept. There are some who preach that we should be the bigger person and forgive, as if we are doing some favor for the person who is presumably beneath us. To me, this doesn’t hold water because all humans are equal. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">It used to anger me a lot until I understood that it is all about me and not about the other person who has hurt me. When I take total responsibility, my perspective of the situation changes. Even forgiving another person makes sense because I’m the one suffering with the pain &amp; anger. And who doesn’t want to be free of suffering?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I attended a workshop during the covid19 pandemic where I learnt the concept of ‘<b>Ho’oponopono’</b>. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">‘Ho’oponopono’ is an ancient Hawaiian spiritual practice that is believed to heal through forgiveness by taking responsibility for everything that surrounds us. The prayer goes as below:</span></p><p style="text-align: center;" align="center"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I’m sorry</span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">                                                             Please forgive me</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;" align="center"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I love you</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;" align="center"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I thank you</span></b></p><p><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">All you do is repeat these 4 phrases. Here is a video to help you familiarize with the concept </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGd1F6QoHsw"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGd1F6QoHsw</span></a></p><p><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I learnt that the concept of forgiveness is much deeper. Apparently we carry karma when we judge people either with sympathy or hatred which leads to a never ending bond with them life after life. It became instantly clear to me that I did not want to carry these burdens forever. Therefore, it is in my best interest to forgive. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">And at the end of the practice you are supposed to visualize that the other person (whom you are trying to forgive) is happy. Liberation means you do not feel any pain/anger over their happiness. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Some could achieve this in a few days, others in a few months and sometimes it can take even a few years depending on the level of your trauma. So, don’t rush the process. It is a journey.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I have always wondered about the timing of practicing forgiveness towards someone. In my experience it is never easy to even have the thought of forgiving someone when you are wounded and hurting. Therefore, the first step towards forgiveness is to actually distance yourself from the person and work on your healing. There is an old saying that time heals all wounds but this may not be completely true. Time does bury the pain but it shows up in other situations with other people if you do not intentionally heal the particular trauma. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">And by the way, trauma is different than just having an argument with someone where you feel anger towards someone that lasts for a moment or few days. Sometimes being in certain situations just makes you feel bad and hurt. Such situations can easily heal by practicing ‘Ho’oponopono’ immediately after the situation because it changes your vibration towards the other person. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I believe we are wise enough to differentiate between inconsequential hurt and trauma.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Now that you have managed to heal and forgive, what happens after? </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Should you continue to be in contact with this person? Well, that’s for you to determine. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Forgiveness doesn’t mean accepting bad behavior and allowing harm to continue.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">It also doesn’t mean that if someone harmed you enough to land in jail, you let them get away from the punishment. They must face the consequences of their wrong doing. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The practice of forgiveness is for your own closure and you are in no way responsible for the other person who wronged you.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">For you to practice forgiveness, the emotional or physical damage caused must have been a great deal. So, cut the cord if you can and move on with your life. In the event that you can’t cut the cord, keep minimal contact until someone proves that what happened to you was a one off and won’t be repeated again.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Don’t be vulnerable, act in your best interest. You did not go through this lesson to repeat your mistake. Conserve your energy for better things in life. You deserve to be happy.</span></p><p><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 14pt; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );">Much Love,</span></p><p><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 14pt; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );">Rashmi Yadav</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; color: #222222;">Free Image credit &#8211; </span><a style="font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); background-color: #ffffff;" href="https://pixabay.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; color: #0563c1;">https://pixabay.com/</span></a></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; color: #222222; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; line-height: 15.6933px; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, 'sans-serif';"> </p><p><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span></p><p style="background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;"> </p><p style="background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> </span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"> </p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"> </p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> </span></p><p> </p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> </span></p>					</div>

The only choice you have is whether to go through it joyfully or miserably. The choice is easy but what can you do to make the ride bearable?

But, we forget that dreams are only our imagination and it is just our mind playing games with us. As a result one day we are on a high and another day we are down under. However, the problem is that our bodies aren’t able to tell a real threat vs. an imaginary threat, so our fight or flight reactions to both scenarios are the same which damages the body. Acute stress is good but being in a dark headspace repeatedly causes chronic stress which damages the immune system. So, we owe it to ourselves to do whatever we can to stay out of the dark headspace. And just like one of those past situations where we thought we would never recover from but did eventually, this too shall pass!</span></p><p style="background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; color: #222222;"> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 14pt; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );">Much Love,</span></p><p style="background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; color: #222222;">Rashmi Yadav</span></p><p style="background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;"><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 14pt; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );">Free Image credit &#8211; </span><a style="font-size: 14pt; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); background-color: #ffffff;" href="https://pixabay.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://pixabay.com/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1664880710487000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2V0lfl0aayBRKrn8kl_3bl"><span style="color: #0563c1;">https://pixabay.com/</span></a></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"> </p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"> </p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> </span></p><p> </p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> </span></p>					</div>

grew up known as an intelligent child and later an educated (with prestigious
degrees) adult and an accomplished career. Needless to say I had a very high
self-esteem as long as I played the game set by our social norms. Then, came
the pandemic and I became one of the many people who hit rock bottom due to a
shaky career and all the other things that the pandemic brought upon us. To
quote Sadhguru ‘Our expensive homes became our prisons and our cars became junk
because we just couldn’t go anywhere.’</span><span style="mso-ascii-font-family:

and identities and forced to meet my true selves. And the first thing that flew
out of the window was my ‘high self-esteem.’ Until then I had no idea that
self-esteem and self-worth are worlds apart and that you cannot replace one
term with another. The starting point to understand the dangers of self-esteem
would be to go through this TED talk by the world’s leading expert in
self-compassion Dr. Kristin Nerf&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvtZBUSplr4" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v%3DIvtZBUSplr4&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1662184974939000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2Ysib5aWJ8oRbYsk00y19b" style="font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="color:#0563C1">https://www.youtube.com/watch?<wbr>v=IvtZBUSplr4</span></a><span style="color: rgb(24, 24, 24); font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );">.</span></p><p style="background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;"><span style="color: rgb(24, 24, 24); font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );">For a long time psychologists thought that high
self-esteem is a marker of good mental health &amp; people with low self-esteem
suffer with depression and other mental health issues. The problem is not
having high self-esteem but how you get it. Self-esteem is developed based on
our identities and achievements set by social norms and depends on how other
people treat us, in short the ground is quite shaky. It often means others must
look up to us and many times to defend it we make an effort to make others look
small in front of us and that can be quite toxic to the self.</span></p><p style="background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;"><span style="color: rgb(24, 24, 24); font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );">The total opposite of that is self-compassion. The term
is self-explanatory and it simply means to be your own best friend in any and
every given situation. People with high levels of self-esteem fear mistakes
&amp; failure whereas those with high levels of self-compassion see mistakes
&amp; failure as a process of growing hence develop the ‘growth mindset’ which
positive psychology describes as one of the most important tools to set
children/individuals up for success. So, stand up for yourself as you would for
your friend. Talk to yourself as you would to a dear friend.</span></p><p style="background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;"><span style="color: rgb(24, 24, 24); font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );">Self-compassion and Self-worth are intertwined, without one
you cannot have the other. The world’s leading psychologist, best-selling
author and physician Dr. Gabor Mate explained this beautifully in one of his
interviews. He was assigned to write his latest book ‘The Myth of Normal’ for
which he had collected 25 years of research data but at some point he felt like
a failure because he thought he wouldn’t be able to deliver the book. He
immediately paused to look at the thought and said ‘I am not my book!’ Gabor
says the danger of identifying with something is the killer of self-worth. So,
if he fails at writing the book then he simply fails at performing that
particular task, it doesn’t say anything about him, it doesn’t make him a
failure!&nbsp;</span></p><p style="background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;"><span style="mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;color:#181818">It
took me some time to figure out my Self-worth and trust me it is a calm place
to be in. Everybody deserves to be at that place. The best part is that we are
all born with it, ever seen a 2 year old? It just gets lost as we grow up. You
have it in you, with little effort you will find it!</span><span style="mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;color:#222222"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;"><span style="font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );">Much Love,</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><o:p></o:p></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;">Rashmi Yadav<o:p></o:p></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );">Free Image credit &#8211; </span><a href="https://pixabay.com/" style="font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">https://pixabay.com/</a></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><o:p></o:p></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:

				<p>After immersing myself in
learning about the human psyche through Gabor Mate and Ekaa foundation over the
past few months; last night I found myself going back to a book that I had read
in 2019, just before the pandemic hit -“Waking up in Winter” by Cheryl Richardson.
<o:p></o:p></p><p>They say we must read the same
books over and again because in different seasons of life they provide
different messages and meaning to us. And true it is, because as I woke up this
morning and read the Introduction, I found a new inspiration. This book is
actually an account of her journal where she shares intimate details of her
life. Cheryl says that after writing six bestselling books she felt like she
had nothing more to say, so she decided to use her life as an example for her
loyal followers. She says that her inspiration came from all the journal
diaries she read by May Sarton. <o:p></o:p></p><p>What I love about life is that we
always come across something inspiring but the key is to look for it
constantly. There is something in particular from her book that I want to quote:<o:p></o:p></p><p>This book is an honest account of
what happened when I started listening to my life. At some point, we’re all invited
to take the hero’s journey – to leave familiar territory, face our demons,
travel through the darkness, and find our way to a better life, one more
aligned with who we’ve become. I invite you to take this journey with me.
Whether you’re questioning your own mortality, dealing with a life crisis,
hungry to feel more alive, or just plain tired of going through the motions
because you know, deep in your heart, you’re meant for something more, it’s my
hope that the challenges, lessons, and desires I explore here will strike a
resonant chord within you. While the hero’s journey is a solitary adventure, it’s
comforting to know we’re not alone.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Well, with that quote I am all
set to take this journey again with Cheryl Richardson but this time at a
different season of my life.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Enjoy your weekend!<o:p></o:p></p><p style="line-height: 11.75pt; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">Much
Love,<o:p></o:p></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">
