If you know...you know! Hat tip to all of my fellow introvert / ambivert sisters and brothers. We find this time of the year to be particularly energy depleting. Don't misunderstand, we care deep, we love deep, we feel deep, we think deep. Which is why large social gatherings, "forced fun" environments, loud venues where we can't even hear, much less engage with anyone in a meaningful way, deplete us of energy. So please give us some grace and space when we depart without making the rounds. We do this because we are tired of having to answer the questions that mostly come from a well intentioned place and sound like: ❓Why are you leaving so early? ❓Are you not having fun? ❓Really? The night is just getting started? What we'd love to hear from you is: Thanks for showing up and being you. Hope you enjoyed yourself, get home safe. Period. Hard stop. 🛑 This is my PSA 📣 for anyone who will be part of the holiday party circuit starting...NOW! With deep #love and #gratitude, #bluecollarbuddha LFG 🚀 #youbeyou #selflove #ambivert #introvert #mindfulness #emotionalintelligence #sales #staffing

How is life na... One starts with making 7-8 friends, forming their "friend group" then they enjoy and make memories, some time later people leave and other people come. Later, 4-5 people remain intact and they think that is group will remain "permanent". But by the end, 2 remain and that group disbands. Nothing is permanent. If you can keep the pieces glued together, perfect. If the glue stick is weak and over time it wears off, you have to live with it. You can try to stick the pieces again but you can't trust the glue again. #reality #life #friendshipgoals?

As I often mention, you are the most important person in your life. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself like you are more important than the VIPs of the world because you are! Learn to listen and follow those gut feelings you get to better yourself and your life. Do things that will get you smiling more and happier. Treat yourself better than you would treat your best friend. You definitely deserve the very best from yourself so you can enjoy your beautiful life more fully. Happy day all my amazing friends! ;) #takecareofyourself #treatyourselfwell #youarethemostimportantpersoninyourlife #youdeservethebestfromyourself #happinessenergizer

Storytime : I left annual fest of my college ( Miranda 's Tempest ) to leave for home and sleep . Lol. Backstory : Being a part of the creative team , we ought to make multiple arrangements , accommodate the dignitaries & most importantly, to ensure the overall decoration. Alongside my seniors and creative members , we have been working 8 hours a day lately . My sleep schedule was messed up henceforth. And even today , I had to leave home at 5 am in the morning in an extension to show up at college 7 am sharp , we worked tirelessly till 12 pm . At 1 pm , ditching the concert and fun programs , I just left home . But wait , FOMO didn't get over .⭐ FOMO ( fear of missing out) holds different connotations for different people . People fear missing out on the fun but did you ever realise that even "fun" and the "ways to have fun "are different for different people? Growing up , I was never a concert person . The vibes they give are just not me . Despite of being born in the national capital , I have never been to a club or a rave party .I find them overrated . Does that make me uncool anyhow ? No⭐ While there is a pre- decided pretty list of fun activities , I have my own . While you choose to be amid the hustle - bustle , I choose to utilise the time to be at home and sleep ( best decision ever lol) Replacing FOMO ( fear of missing out) with FOMO ( fun of missing out . ) Know yourself better ; not mandatory for you to follow the same pre-decided list to have fun . The meaning of "fun" to you can be different. It can be staying in & watching a show . It can be a walk in solitude . It can even be just simply exploring new food & cuisines . It can be reading a good book. Remember who you are and what you should do before people have to tell you who you are and what you should do . Stick to the practices which genuinely give you joy and comfort . Your personal convenience matters. Prioritise your personal comfort ⭐ Follow Maansi Sharma for more!❤️ #linkedin #linkedIndaily #posts #personalgrowth

Life isn't always about racing to the finish line! 🏇🏾 🏇🏾 🐎 🐎 🏎 🏎 🏎 🏎 🏃🏾♂️ 🏃🏾♀️ 🏃🏾♂️ 🏃🏾♀️ It’s about enjoying the journey, embracing the struggles, and celebrating the small victories along the way. Take time to appreciate the little things, like: 📍 That colleague who "allows" you to take a bite from their breakfast, ...and snack, ...and lunch... (Even though you took it by force 😀 ) 📍That interview invitation (Even though you are unsure that you would get the job. At least you were qualified enough to be called) 📍A beautiful sunset 📍The sound of children playing rough (Even though it can be annoying sometimes: you will miss that noise if they go on holiday with cousins) 📍The charming smell of roses or its equivalent for you. (Mine is popcorn and roasted corn 🌽 🍿 😁 ) or 📍A quiet moment with a loved one. Don’t be so hard on yourself if things aren't moving as quickly as you'd like, that you forget that happiness can be found in slow motion. Remember, progress is progress, even if it’s slow! You only need to Enjoy it because for sure, like a mango seed planted, you will not always be small or slow😊 #Hope #slowandsteady #wintherace #Mind2Screen #Happiness #Embracetheprocess

Smile more! Everyday give us many opportunities to smile and be grateful. Feeling low ? Going through rough time? Experiencing a burn out ? I have had days when nothing works, nothing seems right, nothing goes well. Here’s what has helped me: 1. Spend time with children. 2. Take a walk all by yourself. 3. Surround yourself with Nature-trees, plants, lakes, rivers, beaches, parks, mountains, hills, flowers…just Nature! 4. Spend time around cows. 5. Meditate. Observe. Relax. 6. Listen to soothing music. 7. Read a book. 8. Stay away from toxic company. 9. Go on a fruit diet for 1-2days. 10. Learn something new. And most importantly … 11. Remind yourself ➡️ there are ups and downs in everyone’s life. It’s by design 🙂 #life #lessons nothing is worth loosing that #smile !!
