🌀 Feeling Disconnected from Yourself

There are days when life pulls you in every direction. Work demands, family needs, endless tasks—you keep moving, but inside you feel scattered and far away. A quiet thought surfaces: “I don’t even know who I am anymore.”

This disconnection can feel heavy, but what if self-connection wasn’t something far away you had to search for? What if it was always just one breath away?

✨ “You are not what you do—you are the awareness behind it.”

The truth is, you’re not lost—you’ve only gotten tangled in the noise of activity. Beneath the busyness, there is a steady presence waiting for you to notice it. Self-connection doesn’t come from running away from life, but by turning inward—even for a moment—while life continues.

💡 Action to Try

Pause right now.

Place your hand gently on your heart.

Close your eyes and take three slow, conscious breaths.

With each inhale, feel life entering. With each exhale, whisper silently: “I return to me.”

🌟 Inspiration

Coming home to yourself is not about escape—it’s about presence. You don’t need a retreat, a perfect environment, or hours of silence. You can reconnect wherever you are—at your desk, in your car, or in your kitchen. Presence is the doorway, and you carry that doorway within you.

✨💐 Happy Teacher’s Day from Sir Guru Granth Sahib Vidya Kendra! 💐✨

Today, our students came forward with heartfelt gratitude, reminding us that a teacher’s role is not just in classrooms but in every act of care, guidance, and support. 🌸

This celebration was special because we honoured everyone who shapes our children’s journey – from teachers to gardeners, support staff, cleaning staff, and drivers. 🙏 Each one of you teaches in your own way – through kindness, patience, hard work, and silent dedication. 🌿

🌟 A teacher’s tiny step, a small word of encouragement, a gentle intent – may look little, but it can transform a child’s life forever. 🌟

A teacher with compassionate intent can transform a child’s life and, in return, bring a huge shift in society – creating children who are self-reliant, self-aware, independent, curious, motivated, contributing to society, and carrying strong character along with academic excellence. 🌍✨

To every teacher in every form – thank you for being the light. 💖

📖 Review

"Happy Schools" is a thoughtful and much-needed exploration of how happiness can and should become central to education. Dr. Romesh Kumar argues that academic excellence alone cannot define the purpose of schools — emotional wellbeing, creativity, compassion, and a sense of belonging are equally vital for holistic development.

The book emphasizes practical ways schools can transform into nurturing environments by:

Prioritizing mental health and emotional intelligence.

Building teacher–student relationships based on trust and empathy.

Encouraging values such as kindness, cooperation, and self-expression.

Creating classrooms where learning is joyful, not fear-driven.

What makes the book stand out is its balance between research insights and real-life school practices, making it valuable not only for educators and policymakers but also for parents who want to understand what truly shapes a child’s well-being.

Dr. Kumar highlights that happiness is not a byproduct of academic success — rather, it is the foundation that allows children to thrive academically and socially.

✅ Strengths:

Easy-to-read style with relatable examples.

Focus on practical changes schools can implement.

Timely in the context of rising student stress and burnout.

⚠️ Limitations:

May feel idealistic to some educators working in under-resourced schools.

Requires systemic policy-level changes, not just individual teacher effort.

🌟 Verdict

Happy Schools is an inspiring call to reimagine education beyond grades and competition. It’s a must-read for teachers, school leaders, and anyone passionate about nurturing emotionally resilient and truly “happy” learners.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ (4.5/5)

🌿 Grounding with Nature 🌿

When you stand by the ocean, the waves touch your feet, the sky paints its colors, and the wind wraps around you — a gentle reminder arrives:
✨ You are a part of nature.
✨ Like the ocean, you too hold depth.
✨ Like the sky, you too hold endless possibilities.

When life feels heavy, let the earth carry your weight,
let the waves wash away your restlessness,
and let the wind remind you —
you are never alone, you belong to nature. 🌸

✨ Therapist’s Note on Healing & Self-Acceptance ✨

One of the deepest journeys we take as humans is learning to accept every part of ourselves — the body that carries us, the emotions that flow through us, and the soul that longs for connection.

As a psychotherapist, I’ve seen how often we wait for others to offer love, safety, and peace. But true healing begins when we start creating that home within ourselves.

🌸 A home where the body is honoured, not criticized.
🌸 A home where emotions are welcomed, not silenced.
🌸 A home where the soul feels safe enough to rest.

This is not a one-day transformation. It’s a gentle practice, day after day, of saying:
“I belong to myself. I am worthy of love. I am my own sakoon.” 🕊️💜

May you too, find that home within.

Resistance to change is often misunderstood.
We label it as stubbornness, laziness, or even defiance. But more often than not, resistance is a form of protection—an emotional and psychological response to perceived threat or uncertainty.

In my work, I’ve come to recognize that what looks like “resistance” on the outside is often someone grappling silently with fear, fatigue, or self-doubt on the inside. It may be the quiet weight of previous failures. It may be the exhaustion of already carrying too much. It may be the internalized belief that “I’m just not the kind of person who can do this.”

Many people want to change. They want to show up differently at work, set boundaries, pursue goals, or break patterns that no longer serve them. But they don’t always know how. They may feel unsure where to begin, or even question whether change is possible for them. And when support is absent, or the environment is unsympathetic, their nervous system does the only thing it knows: it resists.

When we reframe resistance as a signal rather than a problem, we start to ask better questions:
— What fears or assumptions are standing in the way?
— What internal narratives might need revisiting?
— What resources or skills are missing—and how can we help someone feel more equipped?

Whether you’re leading a team, supporting a client, or working on yourself, resistance is not the enemy. It’s the doorway to insight—if we have the patience and compassion to listen.

🧠 Ego Self vs Higher Self ✨
Mental health isn't just about reducing anxiety or healing trauma—it's also about elevating your self-awareness.

The ego self: ☁️ Lives in victimhood
⚠️ Focuses on lack
❌ Sees only mistakes
😤 Complains about everything

The higher self: 🌟 Takes responsibility
💫 Believes in abundance
🔍 Learns from every experience
🙏 Finds joy in the little things

✨ Healing begins when we shift from reacting through ego… to responding from our higher self.

Which one are you feeding today?
