Hello Reader,

Here are 1 Thought, 1 Quote, 1 Word & 1 Humour for you to reflect upon this week...

Thought

Where you live impacts the quality of your life.

When someone asks you where you live, you’ll probably tell them your residential address. Even if you are traveling most of the time, out of your home for a major portion of the day or changing your residence frequently, there is a place you call home.

In the same manner, if I ask you, where does your mind live, what would you say?

For most, the mind is living either in the experiences of the past or imaginations of the future; rather than being alive to the present. What does your mind call home — the past, the future or the present?

"People don't realise that now is all there ever is; there is no past or future except as memory or anticipation in your mind.”

​

Let's look at three learnings that help us cajole our mind and encourage it to live in the present.

Learning 1 - Gratitude and affirmations:

As soon as you wake up, what’s the first thought that crosses your mind? If it's negative, inducing worry, hatred, anger, how about changing it to a more pleasing one?

Try this: When you are awake, while continuing to lie in bed, express gratitude for at least three things — it could be your health, your loved ones, your work, anything that you are grateful for…. and hold that thought through out the day, to center yourself and avoid going into the past or future.

Learning 2 - Listen with faith:

Have you ever come across a caterpillar who refused to become a butterfly? The caterpillar listens to the call when told to climb a tree & weave a cocoon. It has never done it before, but it doesn’t question itself or the voice that tells it to go forth. There is a certain intelligence in the universe, and if we prepare ourselves to listen for it, we may start receiving new guidance that we have never experienced before.

Try this: What can help you live in the present and be ready for listening to this guidance from the universe? This ought to keep you in the present, at least due to FOMO :)

Learning 3 - Action over analysis:

Did you know that your mind is an excellent analyser? Always questioning, pondering, revisiting, hypothesising, and when that happens, you live in the world of analysis and hesitate from taking action. Wellness needs action, movement, energy.

Try this: Next time, you catch your mind doing this analysis business, tell it “hey, I know you love it, but let’s get moving”.

​

Hope these learnings give you new reflections to ponder upon, but don't stay pondering for too long, take action :)
