You don’t have to carry the weight of every challenge and difficulty as if it’s just a part of motherhood. 🌸 As moms, we’ve been conditioned to believe that struggles are normal—but that doesn’t mean you have to accept them without question. You deserve ease, balance, and support. ✨ When you prioritize your well-being, you: ✅ Create space for joy and growth. ✅ Show your kids that life isn’t about constant struggle—it’s about thriving. Motherhood isn’t about sacrificing yourself; it’s about building a version of you that feels fulfilled and energized. 🌱 💡 Remember: You can ask for help. You can set boundaries. You can choose to live differently. It starts with you. Are you ready to make a change?

Ever feel like you have to be the "happy parent" robot, even when your kid is having a meltdown? This pressure to project only sunshine and rainbows can actually hinder your child's emotional development! 💛Ditch the "Good Vibes Only" Zone: Pushing aside your child's sadness, anger, or frustration teaches them to suppress emotions too. 💛Help Them Feel Heard: Validate their feelings with phrases like "I see you're feeling frustrated" or "It's okay to feel sad sometimes." 💛Create a Safe Space: Let them know it's okay to express all their emotions, even the "negative" ones. 💛Heal & Grow Together: By navigating emotions together, you help them build emotional intelligence and resilience. Ready to ditch the pressure and embrace your child's full emotional spectrum? DM "READY" to start being truly happy, and not just "Fake it 'til you make it"! #zensupermom #toxicpositivity #dramafreeparenting #calmparenting #zenmom #zendad #fatherhood #motherhood #parenting

I Wanted to Cry. I just couldn’t hold back my emotions when i first saw my son! To be honest, becoming a father is a moment that defies description. It is an experience that can only be felt deeply within the soul. The day my son was born in 2007, my entire world shifted. The overwhelming mix of awe, responsibility, and boundless love is something that only comes once in a lifetime. From that life-altering moment, I knew that shaping his life would be my greatest mission. Human life is crafted through understanding, knowledge, discipline, support, introspection, spirituality, and so much more. I have always been passionate about manufacturing growth, not just for my family but for everyone around me. Parenting has been a transformative journey. My perspective on life shifted dramatically. I became more sensitive, more observant, and more intentional. Every decision I made was with an eye on the long-term, considering how it would impact my son's future, decades down the line. These principles first took root in me, then influenced my parenting, and evolved through discussions with my spouse. Every few years, our approach adapted to his growth. When he was 12, our interactions were different than at 15, and now at 18, they are different still. Parenting is a dynamic, ever-changing journey of growth. Throughout this journey, my emotions have remained steadfast—positive and strong. I have found joy in balancing my professional work and my role as a parent. This dual commitment has become one of my most cherished and carefully tended spaces in life. Inventing new ways to support my son's growth and to watch him flourish has been my greatest privilege. I can proudly say, that this path of parenthood has been a crucible, forging me into a stronger, wiser man. To be a part of my son's growth is a privilege, a sacred trust. In this role, I find purpose and joy in the infinite potential of the human spirit. #Son #Parenthood

"What if the biggest critic in your life is... you?" For the longest time, I let negative self-talk define me. “I’m not good enough.” “I’ll never succeed.” These thoughts played like a broken record in my mind, keeping me stuck on the way to parenthood. And not knowing how to delve with them I continued the patterns as they came. We should always take a break to reflect on things. In the steps towards heading to become a parent we always focused on what needs to be done get things sorted and tried to be there. But it was something different which was unknown when we knew the results are not showing up. Both of us had discussions in the waiting time of the appointments. What is it that remained and lagging behind that is been advised by the doctor? We also realised that taking even about past negative results affects the thoughts and we also tried to filter the words before we expressed. But the above negative self-talk thoughts even though unexpressed where creating the notifications within the consciousness. As it was ingress over time frame. But one day when I had a talk with my friend Swapnil, I realized I wouldn’t talk to a friend the way I talked to myself. So why was I doing it to me? That’s when I decided to rewrite the narrative. I started affirming positive beliefs irrespective of the things happening around. The affirmations of:- “I am worthy.” “I can achieve my dreams.” The more I practiced, the more my confidence grew. Self-talk matters a lot. It shapes and programs how you see the world and yourself. What’s one negative thought you’ll replace with a positive one today? Share it and make the shift on the way to aspiring parenthood. #SoulfulConnections #SoulfulJourney #ConnectWithin #AlignWithYourSoul #SoulfulParenthood #SoulfulGrowth

Before I became a mum, I lived life in the fast lane… Coaching, speaking, creating programs—always doing, always achieving. My mantra? “Make it happen.” And then motherhood came along and pressed pause. Suddenly, I wasn’t rushing to the next goal. I was sitting still, staring at the clock, realising I had 12 long hours ahead with a baby, now a toddler. Hours that felt like days. Moments stretched endlessly. I thought slowing down would be easy. It wasn’t. The real challenge wasn’t the silence or the slowness. It was confronting my own need to control time. I realized I’d been using my to-do list as a safety net. Measuring my worth by how much I could squeeze into every hour. Feeling like if I wasn’t doing, I wasn’t enough. But here’s what motherhood taught me: Time doesn’t need to be controlled. It can be felt. In the tiny moments of presence as you look at your child’s little hands. In the visceral stillness that moment you sit in the car right after school drop off. In the way one boring, endless hour can hold so much depth if you choose to see it. 💡Motherhood invites you to ask deeper questions: • Are you afraid of time? • Do you feel like you need to control it to prove your worth? • Or can you embrace it for what it is—a gift, even when it feels slow, messy, and uncertain? I used to think slowing down was a step back. Now, I see it as an opening. Because when you stop trying to own time, you start truly living in it. Mums, how has motherhood changed your relationship with time? What has slowing down taught you? I’d love to hear your thoughts below 👇 #MindfulLiving #WorkLifeHarmony #SelfCareforMums

I know what it feels like to be super busy all the time..... ; ; ; Working late, always tired, and feeling like something is missing. For a long time, my dream of becoming a parent got delayed. I didn’t realize how stress and tiredness, was making it harder for me to reach there. Every morning, I woke up feeling exhausted. I had so many things to do all through the day, but my heart just wanted one thing a baby to make our family complete. The more I worried about it, the harder everything felt. My joy started disappearing, and life became heavy. That’s when I decided to try something new. I made a big change in how I lived my life. This was the first time when I started the spiritual journey in 2017. I started practicing self care of my body, my mind, and my heart. Holistic approach in living and making space for life to grow. Here’s what helped me: ✨ Getting enough sleep and rest – I made sure my body had time to recharge so it could be relaxed and fit. ✨ Eating healthy food – We started eating fresh, simple, and nutritious Satvik meals to feel better every day. ✨ Finding time for joy – We made space to do things we loved, and spending time with each other. It’s not just about being busy or getting things done but expanding the consciousness to add more. It’s about living in a way that brings happiness and hope. And when we did that gradually and everything started feeling better. Getting aligned to the role of taking responsibility and willingness becoming a parent. What about you? How do you find balance in your life? I’d love to hear your ideas. Share them in the comments—you might inspire someone else! 🌸 You can create space for your dreams to grow, just like we did. Let’s do it together and get aligned on the journey towards parenthood. 🌟 Grateful ✨ #vishalgaikwad #soulfulconnections #infertility #awareness #parenthood #withmindfulness

Just like the seasons, life is always changing—and so are we. 🍂 As the leaves turn and the air gets crisper, we’re reminded how beautiful change can be. 🍂 Nature shows us that life is always shifting, and that’s especially true when we become parents. Parenthood brings a dramatic transformation that doesn’t stop—as our little ones grow, we’re continually learning, adapting, and evolving alongside them. At first, it’s all about meeting their basic needs, being their guide in a world that’s totally new to them. But as they grow, our role shifts, and we take on the responsibility of teaching, supporting, and helping them develop the skills they need to master life in this world. 🌍 And through it all, we realise that to be the best example, we must keep growing, healing, and mastering our own lives too. So remember, change is a constant and beautiful part of this journey. And while mastering life and parenting can be challenging, you’re not alone. Help is always here. 💛 Want to dive deeper into conscious parenting?

Everyone's looking for finding the way to achieve a dream. -- -- -- Here's the answer to help you get the way to your dream. I use to wonder of dreams in my secondary's 1. Living a life with happiness with my family. 2. Contributing to corporates. 3. Driving a dream car. 4. Wonderful House. 5. Likewise many...!! But unaware of how to go for this things! But life lessons drew me through different phases where the actual things went in a different way. Rather, I found myself in situations that I had faith in nothing, no dreams, feeling of victimhood. This happens only when we are connected with negativity than positivity. Positivity comes with proximity of thoughts feelings and energies. A motivation short lived is not positivity neither proximity. It's the result of patterns, impressions and sanskar's created/formed over the time. As we evolved we got connected to electronics and gadgets which took control over and started ruling us. The Inner being!! The more the proximity, the more the negativity and impact on overall well being. Then the phase comes when we are finding ourselves in the trap of 1. Not knowing where to start. 2. Why this is happening? 3. Why me only? 4. Am I not worthy? This is the things which connects us to stagnation, unworthiness and low self-care. The energies collectively are negative and the dreams go blur and finally vanish. This happened in the journey of parenthood where I was focusing on work more than family due to limiting beliefs. Which delayed my journey of becoming a parent which took seven years and affected my spouse overall well being! And now getting aware of the days I went through gives me the realization of ignoring small things which collectively impact the future. Hey parents if you are finding ways to become a dream parent get on a One on One discovery call and get started on the journey of inner healing towards a blissful parenthood.

Neglected children -Long term negative distortions that continue to into adult life. Ruminating on the Past. An obsession with past experiences can prevent individuals from living in the present. This can lead to a sense of being stuck and hinder healing. I can so relate to ruminating especially about past hurts before the healing helped me make sense of my experiences. The weight and heartache of the rumination can feel like a relentless tide, washing away joy and leaving behind only the remnants of sorrow. If you are unable to distract or find purpose, meaning and pleasure in things that fuel your inner fire you might feel isolated in despair. Trying new hobbies or activities that pique your interest. Visualize Your Ideal Life- Engage in Creative Expression-Allow yourself to express your thoughts and feelings through art, writing, or music. Creative outlets can help you tap into your passions and emotions. Music and dance are such uplifters energisers, and soul soothers Seeking Inspiration-Read books, listen to podcasts, or watch documentaries about people who inspire you. Connecting with nature, walking, hiking and learning about others' journeys can ignite your own passions. Be mindful of your beliefs- are they your beliefs or are they conditioned beliefs that have come from others expectations of you. A few cognitive distortions re: beliefs. *I’m not good enough.* *Nobody cares about me.* *I can’t trust anyone.* *I’ll never be loved.* *It’s my fault.* *I don’t deserve happiness.* *I’ll always be alone.* *Why would anyone want to be with me?* . **If I show my feelings, I’ll get hurt.* *I have to be perfect.* . **I can’t change who I am.* I think many of us can relate to the “ not good enough” belief and it isn’t an easy one to get rid of. In times of vulnerability, criticism from others, failure or self-doubt it rears its ugly head again. A little reminder … 😉 Your value doesn’t decrease based on someone’s inability to see your worth. You are good enough, you are strong enough, and you are deserving of all your dreams. #childhoodtrauma #ruminatingbeliefs #youareworthy #mentalhealthawareness
