Caveat Emptor.......

26/10/2025

TS Eliot :-

We shall not cease from exploration ;
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the
First time.

Brickman and Campbell (1971) First used the term hedonic Treadmill to describe how people continually adapt to improvements in their situation to the point where they eventually return to the emotional state where they started.
Thus lottery winners, after initially rejoicing, drop back to their customary life.

I came across a book which is discussing PPI (Positive Psychology Interventions)

I believe all these experts have got it wrong here. Positive Interventions is not a very good strategy in the long run. At best it can be used as an initial strategy, ...as a damage control or course correction tool, but only to be used sparingly.

I suspect all these high end "experts" understand this already, and know how to use Positive Interventions strategically, but for masses in general it is not advisable thing to do. To many Interventions will get you into further entanglements and make you more delusional.

There is one way and the only way to have a sustainable good life. You have to cultivate non-reactivity and Equanimity, there is no other authentic way to deal with life challenges.

You have to realise the superiority of "Being" mode and difference between "doing" mode and "being" mode.

Just remember, every emotion arising in you has a purpose, it bring about a movement in you and puts you in the right course. Knowing them non-judgementally and staying in Equanimity is the key. πŸ”‘

I have always believed strongly -
"When the system is running in autopilot mode, manual over ride is not a very good idea." πŸ™

Lighten up your Heart ❀️ πŸͺ”πŸͺ”πŸͺ”

From the point of view of positive Psychology 'strengths' are talents and qualities that can be intentionally activated, nurtured, and managed.

Using these Individual strengths in daily life brings about the "Engaged" way of life. The "E" in the famous acronym PERMA.

In spiritual world there is a saying, the mind of every one is the same (or atleast the seed of it) ..... It is the obscurity, afflictions, and blockages of the mind that differentiate a successful happy person with a struggling one.

May this festival of lights brings about clarity of new beginnings, removing all obstacles from mind. May you be able to lighten up your life by a way of lightning up your mind. ....Happy Deepawali πŸͺ”πŸͺ”πŸͺ”❀️πŸͺ”πŸͺ·πŸͺ·πŸͺ·

Sales Pitch

In accomplishing any task, project or even routine work, there are three-four barriers common to most of us.

1. Distractibility- Impulsive and Compulsive reactivity.

2. Inability to focus and concentrate on task at hand.

3. Mental Dullness/Lack of Energy.

4. Lack of Awareness.

If we can find a way to remove these barriers or at least reduce them, people will have good satisfying lives at work.

Of course determination alone doesn't work; one will have to brain-train the self to be more vigilant, balanced and stable.

A simple act of purposefully knowing that you are reacting is good enough to pacify reactivity.
offers a potential cure for these obstacles: we can steadily enhance our capacity to accomplish work without getting exhausted.

Reach out - to train your mind to be more stable and fulfilling. I offer *trainings* on *Mindfulness* . we will begin with elementary exercises on # *Mindfulness* and then move on to deeper techniques as and when suitable.

C'mon People that's not Mindfulness πŸ˜‡:

Since the Mind is so subtle that it is really difficult to perceive it directly, we use some gross object like breath, body or any other object to attend to the mind. ....

Mindfulness begins when you know and Attending to your mind.

So Attending to your breath for couple of minutes just before the meetings or negotiations is not Mindfulness πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

There are many different techniques to cultivate Mindfulness.

Development/ Development:

When corporate and business talk about people development & Capacity development programs, they invariably focus on some skills development programs. However to bring any sustainable impact in people development attention focus should be given to both inner self, which is attributes development; and outer self of skills development.

In Mahayana Buddhist tradition, Meditation has two aspects: first, there is familiarization with the workings of the , which is what is commonly developed through ; and, second, on the basis of becoming familiar , there is the cultivation of certain qualities and potentials, which is what is understood as training. In other words, there is insight based on observation that leads to wise discernment of what to do!

To achieve in any field, this 'Serviceable mind' (Stable, concentrated mind) is imperative.

A workshop on Mindfulness can help.... Reach out for a workshop for your team. Let your team understand simple techniques of Mindfulness, which will improve the quality of life not only at their work place , but also in their personal life.

Flight of Freedom πŸ¦β€πŸ”₯

Organizations and competitive businesses are focused on elevating the excitement- and drive-based emotions associated with pride in accomplishment, owning, and controlling.
This striving, getting, having, achieving, and owning is almost like an addiction, it constantly over stimulates our dopamine and sympathetic nervous system.

The constant pursuit of material possessions or money πŸ’°, status, or recognition, and so on can be problematic sometimes. Some people can only feel good if they're constantly achieving or satisfying certain drives. These pursuits can be grinding and exhausting leading to ill mental health.

Business models and people strategy are constantly stimulating the competitive mind & excitement- and drive-based emotions leading to unregulated competition in the teams. Unregulated drive can promote callousness and indifference towards oneself and others around.

So while the drive system is important to achieve organizational goals, we have to be careful that it doesn't get out of balance. It therefore makes a lot of sense for businesses and to pursue employee rejuvenation workshops from time to time..

A workshop on Mindfulness can help.....
and training are the two wings that will give you the flight of Freedom. πŸ¦β€πŸ”₯

Understanding our mind is perhaps one of the greatest challenges for modern science and each of us personally. It is the human mind that generates outstanding achievements in science, medicine, arts and engineering, but it is the same mind that can produce the most awful atrocities and acts of greed.

It is our mind that will creates grasping, selfishness, pitting, collaboration conflicts; or an open, reflective, cooperative, and sharing approach to life's difficulties.

Imagine a scenario of a Doctor seeing a new patient. First, Doctor must pay attention to the pain and suffering of their patients in order to identify the root cause of it. However, once they have pinpointed the problem, they then turn their attention to what will relieve it. They draw on their knowledge and experience in order to prescribe a treatment that will bring about healing. (Deep study and Understanding is imperative)

Developing Mindfulness and Self-awareness is like becoming our own Doctors and healers. We cultivate and develop the ability to engage with what is painful and seek to understand its roots. It is what Buddhism talks about in its doctrine of the 'Four Noble Truths'.

It is our minds that are the source of our own personal experiences of happiness and joy, or anxiety, misery and despair.
Knowing the causes and conditions leading to happiness or misery is important.

So the practices of Mindfulness is about Knowing (self awareness).....when does the mental affliction arise, when is the mind more focused, when is it dull, when is it agitated, when is it whole; and the clarity about how it becomes so!, what are causes, what brings about the change in the state of our minds!
