🎉 At All About Living, we feel incredibly lucky to work with such a diverse group of people who generously share their cultures with us, helping us grow and learn together. 🌏✨ Last week was Diwali, a vibrant and joyous festival in Hindu culture, also known as the Festival of Lights. 🪔 Our much-loved team member Surmila has been cooking up a storm for weeks to celebrate this special time with her family and friends, and today, she’s brought in some of her delectable homemade treats for us to enjoy! These treats give us a taste of the traditions that make Diwali so magical. 😋💫 From the sweet richness of cinnamon and mango to the fragrant spiciness of cardamom, these treats are dangerously good! A huge thank you to Surmila for sharing this beautiful celebration with us. It's moments like these that make us truly appreciate the wonderful community we have here at All About Living. 🙏🌟 #Diwali #FestivalOfLights #AllAboutLiving

Ever noticed how the world is seeking what we've always celebrated? Diwali. It's not just about lights and sweets. It's about homes opening their doors, streets coming alive with shared joy and the comfort of knowing you belong. Think about it - every time we shop for new clothes together, every moment we share sweets, every instant we light fireworks and run far and away with squeals of delight - we're not just celebrating. We’re practicing something the west is at risk of losing: the art of human connection. Our festivals create effortlessly what modern therapy places on such high pedestal - connection, community, and a sense of continuity. Every few weeks, India gives us a reason to: ✓Pause our daily rush ✓Reconnect with family ✓Feel part of something bigger ✓Practice gratitude ✓Create memories that bind us together. In a world where belonging is slowly becoming a luxury, festivals like Diwali reminds us of a fundamental truth: mental well-being was never meant to be a solitary pursuit. It can be only amplified through the joy we share, the traditions we keep, and the communities we nurture. And to live in a country where this connection isn’t a scheduled appointment or limited to an app but a way of life? Now that's something worth celebrating, isn't it? Happy Diwali🪔 #india #culture #life #community #gratitude

Happy Diwali to all who celebrate! Growing up in an Indian household, this festival always held a special magic for me – the warm glow of diyas throughout our home, the excitement in the air, and family gatherings that seemed to make everything brighter. The Festival of Lights has always been more than just celebration for me. Its core message – that light prevails over darkness – deeply resonates with both my heritage and professional journey. Those childhood Diwalis taught me about #resilience long before I understood the word. As I reflect today, I'm struck by how this ancient wisdom applies to our modern day challenges. We've all faced our moments of darkness – whether navigating market uncertainties, or dealing with personal adversity. But like the countless diyas we light during Diwali, each obstacle we overcome adds to our inner strength. I'm a firm believer of this concept, today & everyday. To my fellow professionals celebrating today: may your homes be filled with light and your hearts with hope. And to everyone: here's to finding that inner light that guides us through challenges.

Happy Diwali to All Who Celebrate!! As Diwali fills homes with lights and colours, it’s a beautiful reminder of the triumph of light over darkness, a theme that resonates deeply beyond the celebration itself. In life, and particularly in the work of mindset, this theme serves as a powerful metaphor. Light represents clarity, purpose, and growth, while darkness often stands for the doubts, fears, and limiting beliefs that can hold us back. Just as Diwali’s divas and fireworks illuminate the night, each of us has the ability to find light within, no matter how challenging our circumstances. In my work, I’ve seen time and again that a simple shift in mindset can bring us closer to our goals, help us navigate tough times, and ultimately guide us toward a brighter version of ourselves. It’s not always easy, but it’s always possible. So as you celebrate this Diwali, may you invite more light into your life, more hope, more kindness, more strength. Wishing everyone celebrating a Diwali filled with love, laughter, and lasting joy. And to all my network, may you find light in every corner of your life, today and always. #Diwali #FestivalOfLights #Mindset #Coaching #LightOverDarkness #HappyDiwali

Diwali isn’t just about a single celebration—it’s about lighting up our lives with positivity, hope, and joy. Imagine if we could carry that feeling with us even after the festival ends! What if we start each day with a little spark of that Diwali energy? Maybe it’s taking a few minutes in the morning to think about what we’re grateful for, just like how we felt thankful for the joy and warmth of Diwali. Or when things get busy or stressful, we can remind ourselves to stay calm and bright, just like the Diwali lights glowing through the night. And it doesn’t have to stop there. Think of the kindness we spread during Diwali—reaching out to loved ones, sharing sweets, and helping others. We can bring this warmth into our everyday interactions, making someone smile or lifting someone up with a few encouraging words. By keeping these little habits, we don’t just celebrate Diwali for a day; we create a life filled with Diwali vibes all year round. How do you plan to carry the Diwali spirit with you? Let’s inspire each other to make every day a little brighter! ✨ #keepthelight #diwalivibeseveryday #dailydiwalivibes #staypositive #festivalenergy #lightyourpath

Happy Diwali and Bandi Chhor Diwas to all who celebrate! 🪔✨ As these festivals of light, freedom, and new beginnings brighten homes and hearts around the world, it's a perfect time to reflect on their powerful symbolism and how it applies to our professional lives. These celebrations teach us: 1. Light overcomes darkness: Just as we light diyas to dispel darkness, our innovative ideas can illuminate challenges in the workplace. 2. Freedom and justice: Bandi Chhor Diwas commemorates the release of Guru Hargobind Ji and 52 princes, reminding us to stand up for what's right and champion fairness in our professional environments. 3. New beginnings: Diwali marks the start of a new year for many. In business, every day is an opportunity for a fresh start and new goals. 4. Prosperity through perseverance: The story of Rama's return after 14 years of exile reminds us that persistence leads to triumph. 5. Unity in diversity: These festivals are celebrated across various cultures, reminding us of the strength in embracing diversity in our teams. 6. Gratitude and giving: The tradition of exchanging gifts reflects the importance of appreciating our colleagues and giving back to our communities. Share your insights or how you're applying these principles in your life. Let's spread the light of knowledge, freedom, and success! Wishing you festivals filled with brightness, prosperity, and new opportunities. #Diwali #BandiChhorDiwas #ProfessionalGrowth #Inspiration #FestivalOfLights

Wishing everyone celebrating Diwali a happy, peaceful and prosperous day. May this Diwali bring you and yours good health, prosperity and success I read this somewhere and thought I would share. It's a secret message that Indian sweetmeats carry. Positive Psychology and Sweets 😋 It's all about "Perspective". 1. Jalebi Your shape doesn't matter, your nature does . No matter how messed up you look or life is , keeping a sweet tone will always help . 2. Rasgulla No matter how much you are squeezed by circumstances, never forget who you are . Come back to your original self . Be resilient. 3. Boondi Ladoo Every little drop of boondi matters. Similarly little and continuous efforts can bring in miraculous results. Continue doing little things, success will follow. 4. Soan Papdi Not everyone likes you, yet the maker doesn't stop to make you. Pursue your goals , irrespective of validation. 5. Gulab Jamun Your softness is not your weakness, it can be your strength. Softness is a quality much appreciated, be proud of it. 6. Besan Ki Ladoo If you get shattered due to pressure, you can always rebuild. It's a symbol of HOPE. No matter what goes wrong , we can always fix it. Love and light, from my home to yours🩷

🪔 Happy Diwali to everyone celebrating today! 🪔 This half-term has been all about Diwali for us—getting the house ready, cooking delicious food, and sharing stories to pass on my culture to the kids. It’s a special time but also reminds me of the nostalgia that festivals bring, especially when you are far away from your family and country. It is the stories, traditions, and shared values that keep culture alive and vibrant, generation after generation. This got me thinking: In the same way that cultural connections inspire us to go above and beyond, the best company cultures do too. True organisational culture isn’t just about values on a poster or high-level initiatives from the top; it’s about a deeply embedded culture that drives people to bring their best, connect with purpose, and pass on those values to others. So, does your organisation inspire employees to go the extra mile? Or is it simply a checkbox exercise disconnected from day-to-day reality? I leave you to reflect on it while I go and enjoy some sweets! 😊 #diwali #culture #values #motivation #engagement #productivity #coaching #organisationculture

Brighten Up Your Diwali with BAPA Europe! 🪔 As Diwali lights up the skies, let’s also lighten up and embrace a bit of joy and laughter. The Festival of Lights isn’t just about diyas and sweets (though we wouldn’t mind more of those!); it’s about finding our inner glow, even when things feel a bit… well, dim. This Diwali, let’s remember the essentials: 👍🏼 Positivity: Like the kind you get when you finally find an email without an urgent deadline! 💪🏼 Resilience: Because, let’s face it, surviving 8-hour video calls proves we’re tougher than we think. 🤝🏼 Unity: Together, we can support each other through anything (even another PowerPoint deck). May this Diwali bring light, laughter, and all the sweets your desk drawer can handle! Let’s keep each other shining, together. Happy #Diwali! 🪔 #BAPAEurope
