Hey Everyone! I hope y’all had a wonderful weekend!

Let’s kill the “Monday Blues” with some Real Talk!
PS – I am really sorry to have been MIA from the blogging world – I’m still struggling with, and surviving the “tough life-choices” that we’ve had to undergo as a family. Here’s to hoping that we regain our “sanity-levels” soon enough, and I’m able to get back to regularity. *fingers crossed*

For our MONDAY MOTIVATION special – I’m sharing with y’all a quote that I’d read on Facebook at a page called – Motivational Quotes, while looking for something substantial to read (to take my mind off the mayhem) and to feel a little better about life.

5 Tips to Feel More Grateful and Blissful

March 4, 2019 77 Comments

Hey Everyone! I hope y’all had a wonderful weekend!

Let’s kill the “Monday Blues” with some Real Talk and GRATITUDE!

Gratitude means thankfulness, noticing simple pleasures and acknowledging everything that you draw. It means that you are content with what you have and appreciate and value the quality of your life, without any complaints. Being thankful shifts your focus from what is lacking in your life to the abundance that is already present. It means – learning to live your life as if everything were a miracle, and being aware on a “continuous basis” of how much you’ve been given. In short, it means that you say “Thank You” often and always!

Here are a few simple things to try to start feeling a little more blissful on a regular basis –

5 Ways To Ditch The Excuses

January 28, 2019 92 Comments

Hey Everyone! I hope y’all had a wonderful weekend! It’s time to kill the “Monday Blues” with some Real Talk!

Have you ever tied to explain why you didn’t, couldn’t, shouldn’t or just wouldn’t do something? In all honesty, I have! (and a lot many times than once!) Fear of failure, worrying about added responsibilities, perceived lack of self belief and confidence, fear of change – the reasons are abundant and varied, paralyzing us and leaving us stranded in a “no man’s land!” Believe me when I say that all of this negative self talk gets us nowhere. Broken dreams, crippled self-esteem, fragmented hope – the damage is more than you can account for!

Excuses, people – can be a very dangerous thing; pretty intense – as it holds us back and leaves us stuck in a vicious cycle of deferment and delay.

GOOD NEWS

“Life” is an uphill task, with numerous competitions, challenges, disputes, threats and tests. Yes, it is a constant fight to exist; yes, the roads are tough; yes, it means business and only the fittest survive. But then, guess what? Breaking away from the continuous cycle of blame and excuse is not IMPOSSIBLE! To get the results that you desire, you HAVE to ditch the excuses and here’s how “info-graphically” –

7 Ways to Be More Confident

November 5, 2018 76 Comments

Hey Everyone! I hope y’all had a wonderful weekend!

It’s time to kill the “Monday Blues” with some Real Talk and SELF CONFIDENCE!

Self-confidence means being in-sync with your capabilities, powers and self-worth regardless of the situation that you are in. It means that you acknowledge your strengths and believe in yourself to achieve your purpose and go for the challenges that the life throws at you, gallantly. In short, it means, TRUSTING in your worth!
However, sadly enough – we often find ourselves struggling to identify the “piece of courage” to believe in ourselves!
How many times have we belittled ourselves reasoning and doubting our capabilities? How many times have we constrained all our desires, curbed each need and banned ourselves of happiness and pleasure since we do not think that we deserve it? Dismally, almost at every testing occasion that life throws at us! *bitter truth*

Back Off! You Narcissist!

August 27, 2018 36 Comments

Hey Everyone! I hope y’all are having a great day. It’s time to kill the blues with some Real Talk and SELF CARE!

Let’s begin with the basics! For the lucky ones who have not come across such a breed of human life, a narcissist is a person who has an excessive interest in or admiration of themselves. In other words, “narcissists are people who think the world revolves around them!” (If only!)

“The hated man is the result of his hater’s pride rather than his hater’s conscience.”
― Criss Jami, Diotima, Battery, Electric Personality

Too Busy To Take Care Of Yourself?

August 6, 2018 59 Comments

Hey Everyone! I hope y’all are having a great day. It’s time to kill the blues with some Real Talk and SELF CARE!

It’s a crazy life – with numerous twists and turns and constant battles. Ah, responsibilities, obligations, liabilities – different names but equally taxing exposures, taking a toll on our lives and us! *sighs*
With overwhelming duties at work, million chores at home and a jam-packed calendar with overdue tasks – there is little to no time left for us and our life. Well, stressing out on burdens, missing deadlines and traumatizing our metal and emotional health not only leads us to a “self-sabotaging” state but also, little by little deteriorates the idea of “self-being”. All in all making things worse!

9 Ways to Use Time Wisely

iScriblr_time Hey Everyone! I hope y’all are having a great day! Well, it’s time for some Real Talk.

Time – Something that we all wish for but hardly seize. Unlike diamonds and jewels, you cannot buy it off a counter, neither can you get the “extra serving” for free, like at your favorite TGIF! It is rather, our most valuable commodity – with no bargain or subscription policies in place.

We all know it as a fact that how limited our lives are, but we still, sadly, don’t know the value of time. We fail to realize the importance of time lost and “spend, kill, or waste” time as no ones business!
How many us have had the feeling of remorse and said “if only I had some more time?” Well, in all honesty, I have been a culprit of “wasting time” and a given opportunity spasmodically and then “repenting” over the time lapsed – not realizing that I did not make the most of it, when I had the shot! Sadly, time gone, is time lost – never to be back again! We can try as much as we want to, but just like a “missed” prospect, time returns for none.

10 Ways To Live, Laugh, And Love Like A Child

Hey Everyone! I hope y’all are having a great day! Well, it’s time for some Real Talk.

Ah, adulthood! Something that we all wish for, but certainly aren’t equipped to handle. (High hopes, eh?) Responsibilities, accountability, anxiety, and doubt – well that’s the latest version of being mature. From childlike foolery to a confined 24/7 cubicle with a 9 to 5 job, student loan debt and daycare expenses, work demands, the pressures of dating/marriage or children – somewhere, somehow, life catapults and we become adults!

I remember being a child and feeling like I couldn’t wait to be an adult because I would get to do what I wanted to, whenever I wanted to do it. (Yay.. Freedom!) Yet, here I am (all grown up) wondering “what the h*** happened?”
Busy, forlorn, lonesome, blue, running around in the mundane “rat race” called life – Well yes, that’s “adulting”! And surprisingly, everyone’s in it! Somewhere between careless frolics to overwhelming, stressful, and chaotic existence – situations changed and we matured!
