There were days you thought you wouldn’t make it. Moments that felt heavier than your heart could carry. Times when the world seemed too loud, too fast, or too empty. And yet… you’re still here.That means something.That is something.Every single step you’ve taken—even the ones that felt like crawling—is a testament to your resilience. You may not have all the answers, and the road ahead might still feel uncertain, but you’ve already made it through the days you once thought would break you.So take a breath. Acknowledge your journey.And know this: your story isn’t over yet.There is still hope to hold. There is healing ahead. There are new chapters waiting to be written—ones where you rediscover joy, where you feel safe, where you feel like you again.💚 You matter. You are not alone. Keep going.

When motherhood feels overwhelming, pause. 🌿 Take three deep breaths, remind yourself that you’re doing your best, and take one small step forward. You’ve got this.

On this special day, we want to honour you the caregivers, the comforters, the silent warriors who give so much of yourselves to your families.

Motherhood is a journey filled with love, strength, and sacrifice but it can also come with exhaustion, doubt, and emotional overwhelm. Today, we remind you that you deserve care too. Your feelings are valid. Your rest is important. Your mental health matters—deeply.

As you nurture others, don’t forget to be gentle with yourself. You are not alone, and you don’t have to do it all on your own. We’re here to walk with you, listen to you, and support your emotional well-being.

There was once a traveler who arrived at the gates of a great city. Before entering, he saw an old man sitting by the entrance and asked, “What kind of people live in this city?”

The old man replied, “What were the people like in the last city you visited?”

The traveler frowned, “Oh, they were selfish and unkind. I didn’t like them at all.”

The old man sighed and said, “You will find the same kind of people here.”

A little while later, another traveler arrived and asked the same question.

Again, the old man asked, “What were the people like in the last city you visited?”

The second traveler smiled, “Oh, they were kind and warm-hearted. I made many friends there.”

The old man nodded and said, “You will find the same kind of people here.”

A nearby merchant, who had overheard both conversations, asked the old man, “Why did you give them different answers?”

The old man smiled and said, “Because what you see in the world is a reflection of what you choose to carry within you.”

Happiness is just like that—it’s not about where you are or what happens around you. It’s about the choice you make in your heart. Choose to see the good, to find joy in small moments, and to spread kindness. Happiness is always within reach—you just have to choose it.

Happy International Day of Happiness!

Happy International Women’s Day!

On this special day, as we celebrate the strength, achievements, and resilience of women, let’s also take a moment to prioritize something just as important—our mental well-being.

As women, we often give so much to others, balancing responsibilities, caring for loved ones, and striving for success. But true empowerment begins with self-care. Taking time to rest, setting boundaries, and nurturing your emotional health are not selfish—they are necessary.

Let today be a reminder that your feelings matter, your dreams are valid, and you deserve the same kindness and support that you offer to others. Celebrate yourself not just for what you do, but for who you are.

Here’s to strong, healthy, and empowered women—today and always!

Mindfulness is a way of life . Incorporating mindfulness in each aspect of our life will help us to achieve our goals.

Diet and exercise plays an important role not only in physical health but also in mental health.

Lot of us struggle with emotional eating and indulging in our cravings . This results in activation of the guilt cycle , thus increasing stress which impedes progress

Let’s see how we can get a solution through mindful eating.

Mindfulness relies on sensory input and is being aware of our senses.

So, every time you eat, engage your 5 senses and slow down.

Mindful eating invites us to engage fully with our senses. Each time we sit down to eat, we have an opportunity to slow down and appreciate the experience. Take a moment to observe the colors and textures of your food. Feel it with your fingers, inhaling the aromas that awaken your senses. Listen to the satisfying sounds of munching and chewing. As you savor each bite, reflect on whether this food truly serves your body and spirit.

By slowing down, we not only enjoy our meals more fully but also cultivate a sense of awareness that helps us recognize when we are truly satisfied. It encourages us to make conscious choices, steering us away from emotional eating and toward nourishing options.

Remember to pause, breathe, and embrace the present moment with each bite. This simple act of mindfulness will nourish not just your body but your mind as well. By being fully present, you allow yourself to reflect, relax, and ultimately thrive. Let’s embark on this journey together, transforming our eating habits into a powerful practice of self-care and awareness.

Happy World Mental Health Day!

The theme for world mental health day this year is Mental Health at work place.

Work is where we spend most part of our day. It doesn’t matter where you work, it can be professional set up, or at home or for a student work is studying and that is where we spend most of our time. Hence it is of paramount importance to take care of our mental health while at work.

Being stressed, feeling burnt out, mentally exhausted have become common phrases in every household.

Stress, a physiological reaction designed to protect us from danger, has evolved into a major concern, contributing to various health issues. Studies show that over 90 percent of the population feels like they're in a pressure cooker due to a lack of recovery time.

This Mental Health Day, commit to giving yourself the much-needed recovery time through mindfulness.

Mindfulness is a way of life that encourages us to engage our senses and be present in the moment, as our problems often lie outside of it.

You can practice mindfulness by following the 3 Ps:

Pause - When caught in a stressful thought or situation, take a moment to become aware of your surroundings.

Be in the Present - Use this awareness to focus on the present. Observe the textures and objects around you, and fully engage with the work or activity at hand.

Proceed - Move forward with awareness, without judgment, and with acceptance.
Incorporate this practice into everything you do, allowing your body and mind the freedom from stress.

A lot of time we procrastinate because we don't know how to handle time and this happens because we feel we are slaves to time.

Research has proven that people who consider time as paramount importance and have urgency because of time are under immense pressure

So how can you become friends with time , conquer it and finish your tasks on time without pressure

Follow time matrix

Divide your tasks under 4 categories

1. Urgent and Important
2.Important but not Urgent
3. Urgent and Not Important
4. Not urgent Not Important

And remember the urgent and important column should have minimum tasks or better if it is always empty

Prioritise Important but not urgent tasks so that they don't become urgent and important and cause you stress
