If you can control your breath
you can control your mind—and the world around you. 🌍

Our breathing patterns are directly influenced by our emotions and thoughts. 💭

But when you shift your focus from emotions or thoughts to your breath,
a new world begins to unfold. 🌬️✨

When you are in control of your breath,
you hold the key to managing your emotions wisely. 🔑🧘

Our planet, our responsibility. 🌍💚⁠

“One must be sensitive to one’s environment and our planet Earth. It’s a mindset. The greed of a few is steadily eroding our planet’s diversity. We need to protect the Earth from harmful chemicals and conserve its rich flora and fauna.” – 🌿✨⁠

Don’t make the mistake of constantly pointing out others’ mistakes. Mistakes happen all the time. To correct them, you need both authority and love.

A 15 minute conversation on how Jasvinder became a Marathon runner, a record holder in climbing CN tower, by just being regular at his daily practice of Sudarshan Kriya Yoga from the Art of Living Foundation to keep him motivated :) He achieved something that even he couldn't image in just a span of few years. For all the go getters, this video is for you. A daily practice of this simple breathing technique can bring monumental changes in your personal and professional life. Please listen till the end :).

My experiences have shown me that everyone faces challenges—no one is exempt. Ups and downs are a natural part of life; only a person who is no longer living experiences no difficulties. My father taught me that every problem has a solution, and I should focus on finding it rather than dwelling on the problem itself.

Life has also taught me that how I perceive myself greatly impacts my happiness. When I see myself as valuable and beautiful, there’s no room for low self-esteem or feelings of inferiority. My Guru showed me the importance of not worrying about others' opinions. What truly matters is how I view myself. People’s opinions are ever-changing, and I’ve learned not to react to them—they tend to shift once they get to know me better.

Real friends have taught me that surrounding myself with reasonable, positive people is a significant source of happiness. My aunt and my father's sister taught me to stay engaged in what I love doing, like painting, reading, enjoying nature, helping whoever I can, or music. There's no time for unhappiness when I’m busy doing what I love.

I've learned not to let anyone intimidate me with their wealth, status, or anything else they think makes them superior. Money can come and go, positions can change, and situations are ever-evolving because change is constant. Whatever I'm facing today will eventually change as well. As long as there is life, there is hope. I will never stop trying, never give up—I’ll always give it one more shot.

I believe that heartfelt prayer in moments of helplessness can accelerate blessings. I aim to always be grateful for whatever comes my way, knowing there is a reason behind it, even if I can't see it now. Gratitude brings grace into life, and with grace, anything is possible. I trust my intuition and follow my heart.

Finally, I’ve learned to have the courage to pursue what I want. Life is about taking risks; I will never know the possibilities if I don’t take them.

Someday, when you look back over your life, you’ll realize that nearly all of your worries and anxious fears never came to fruition – they were completely unfounded. So why not wake up and realize this right now. Looking back over the last few years, how many opportunities for joy did you destroy with needless worry and negativity? Although there’s nothing you can do about these lost joys, you can do plenty about the ones that are still to come.
Re-set, Re-adjust, Re-start, Re-focus...
As many times as you need to!

Whenever there is a problem, we either deny it saying there is no problem or we sit to solve the problem and make it a big issue. Neither of these help. A problem does not disappear when you deny it. And it does not get solved when you sit to solve it.

The five steps to solve a problem are:

Acknowledge the problem—it is there.
See it as a small problem, and do not say it is big.
If it concerns people, keep in touch with them instead of avoiding them.
Talk less and give time a chance.
Get together and celebrate.

☀️☀️☀️☀️

Chaque fois qu‘il y a un problème, soit nous le nions en disant qu’il n‘y a pas de problème, soit nous nous asseyons pour résoudre le problème et en faire une grande question. Ni l‘un ni l’autre ne vous aideront. Un problème ne disparaît pas lorsque vous le niez et il n’est pas résolu lorsque vous vous asseyez pour le résoudre.

Les cinq étapes pour résoudre un problème sont les suivantes:

Reconnaissez le problème.
Considérez-le comme un petit et non comme un gros problème.
Si le problème concerne des personnes , restez en contact avec elles au lieu de les éviter.
Parlez moins et donnez sa chance au temps.
Réunissez-vous et célébrez.
