In a world of vibrant diversity, where cultures blend like colors on an artist's palette, we ask: Why do rifts persist between us? What invisible barriers divide humanity, keeping us from embracing our shared hopes and dreams?
Imagine a tapestry woven from countless threads, each unique yet integral to the whole. Are we not all strands in this grand design? From the bustling streets of Tokyo to the serene savannas of Africa, we all laugh, we all cry, and we all yearn for connection.
Yet discord echoes through time, a haunting refrain. What whispers of fear or misunderstanding fuel this disharmony? How can we tune our hearts to resonate with empathy and hear the music in each other's stories?
Perhaps the path forward lies not in erasing our differences but in celebrating them. Like instruments in a grand orchestra, our varied voices could create a symphony of unity - if only we'd listen.
So let us ponder: In this fragile, beautiful world we share, can we not find common ground? Can we not see the humanity reflected in each other's eyes? Why can't we, diverse yet united, forge a future of mutual respect and understanding?
The question lingers, a gentle challenge to us all: Why can't we all get along?

Why Can't We All Get Along?

Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.

The secret to defeating procrastination, from an expert
Whether it’s the ominous deadline looming at work or the neglected book gathering dust for weeks, we’ve all faced procrastination at some point or the other in our lives.
Sohini Rohra, Counselling Psychologist & Mental Health Advocate underscores the importance of acknowledging and accepting procrastination tendencies. “The acknowledgment and understanding of the ‘why’ behind our procrastination is pivotal,” she emphasises. “It helps us strategize better on how to stop this self-defeating habit,” she says.

To streamline the process, she outlines six strategies:

Accountability Partner
Being accountable to a trusted friend or colleague serves as a powerful catalyst for personal and professional growth. It enhances responsibility, provides support, and fosters motivation, ultimately propelling one toward success and fulfilment.
Stay Committed To To-Do Lists
Introducing structure and timelines into daily routines can alleviate feelings of overwhelm and enhance productivity.

Take One Step At A Time
Embracing the principle of taking one step at a time and immersing oneself in the present facilitates effective momentum, akin to the cascading effect of dominos.

Reframe The Narrative
Shifting from ‘I have to’ to ‘I choose to’ instils a sense of agency and control, empowering individuals to take ownership of their actions and decisions.

Cultivate Forgiveness
Extending forgiveness to oneself for past missteps and celebrating progress serves as a powerful motivator, propelling you forward on your journey of growth and improvement.

Prioritise Mental Health
Incorporating practices such as breathwork, meditation, balanced nutrition, and regular exercise into daily routines fosters holistic well-being.
