A few days ago, I saw a post on social media about childhood and school memories. It was an emotional video. Honestly, it wasn’t the kind of post you see and forget; it stuck in my mind. How strange life has become, right? Wake up in the morning, go to the office, finish work, and go to bed. It's not that there's no productivity in life; there definitely is. Meeting new people, reading, traveling, and all that. I don’t even have to ask dad for money, we laugh, we smile. But are we happy? How do we understand where happiness lies? Does it come when we lie in bed, or after two hours of overthinking and watching Netflix, or when we can't sleep until we've thought about our ex-lover once and felt sad? Well, the truth is, even if we are happy, it's not the same happiness we felt when we used to watch the rain before going to school, or after coming back from school and watching Doraemon, or when the neighborhood kids would come to call us for playing, or after getting our favorite thing. But now, watching the rain doesn't bring that feeling, there are no friends to play with, the joy of getting our favorite thing isn’t the same, and many times there’s the fear of losing it. Yes, one thing remains: watching Doraemon still brings the same happiness. It sounds depressing, but the truth is, we are not sad either; it's just a state of neither being happy nor sad. It's like being on Trishanku’s ladder, neither reaching heaven nor returning to earth. I don't know if these thoughts will come to mind in the last 7 minutes, but one thing is certain: childhood will definitely come to mind in those last 7 minutes. We'll manage something; if not sad, we'll be happy. But for now, lunch is over, and it’s time to join the office. Anyways, bye. #life #childhood #adulthood

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

🌱 Motherhood & Resilience: A Personal Journey 🌱 As a mother, it's in my nature to want to shield my child from every bump and bruise life might bring. Recently, I caught myself in full-on "overprotective mode," ready to swoop in at the slightest sign of trouble. It's such an instinctive reaction, isn't it? But then, the resilience coach in me had a little chat with the mom in me. 🙃 I realized that by trying to cushion every fall, I might be taking away crucial opportunities for her to build her own resilience. Resilience isn't something we can gift to our children; it's something they need to develop through their own experiences. So, I took a step back. I reminded myself that it's okay—essential, even—for her to face challenges and learn to navigate them. Here are a few things I'm practicing to help raise a resilient child: 1️⃣ Encourage Problem-Solving: Instead of rushing in with a solution, I ask her what she thinks might work. This empowers her to think critically and come up with her own answers. 2️⃣ Normalize Mistakes: We talk about how everyone makes mistakes and how they are opportunities to learn. It's okay to fail; what's important is what we learn from it. 3️⃣ Model Resilience: I try to show her how I handle setbacks in my own life. Kids are always watching, and they learn a lot from how we respond to our own challenges. 4️⃣ Offer Support, Not Rescue: I let her know I'm here for support, but I give her the space to try and resolve things on her own first. It's a delicate balance, and I'm learning right alongside her. Letting go of the urge to overprotect isn't easy, but it's a vital step in helping her grow into a resilient, capable individual. What are some of the ways you encourage resilience in your children? I'd love to hear your thoughts! 💬 #Motherhood #Resilience #Parenting #RaisingResilientKids #PersonalGrowth #ParentingTips

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

But it's not about seeking an easy path; it's about finding fulfillment amidst the chaos. Here are five life hacks I've discovered along the way, and I'd love to hear yours: 1️⃣ **Get Moving**: Exercise isn't just about physical health—it's a lifeline for my emotional well-being and ADHD brain.

Motherhood often invites judgment, but I choose to see strengths and learn from others' journeys. 3️⃣ **Define Your Success**: Motherhood is as unique as we are. Define what fulfillment and good-enough motherhood mean to you. Comparison only hinders; clarity empowers. 4️⃣ **Ask for Help, Even if You're Strong**: Strength isn't about doing it all alone. Motherhood thrives on support—don't hesitate to reach out, even when you feel like you've got it covered. 5️⃣ **Invest in the Right Tools**: My iPhone Max isn't just a phone; it's my lifeline.

🌟 Connecting with your inner child 🌟 Have you ever felt like you're missing out on the joy and wonder of childhood? As adults, we often get caught up in the responsibilities and stress of everyday life, leaving little room for fun and spontaneity. But it's never too late to reconnect with your inner child and bring a sense of playfulness back into your life. ⭐️ Embrace your curiosity: Remember the days when everything was new and exciting? Take a cue from your younger self and approach the world with a sense of wonder and curiosity. Ask questions, explore new interests, and don't be afraid to try new things. ⭐️ Let go of perfectionism: Children aren't afraid to make mistakes or look silly while they're learning and growing. Embrace your imperfections and allow yourself to be vulnerable. Remember that the journey is just as important as the destination. ⭐️ Play like a child: Remember the activities you loved as a child - whether it's playing games, drawing, or dancing around the living room. Give yourself permission to let loose and have fun. Find ways to incorporate play into your daily routine to reduce stress and boost creativity. ⭐️ Practice self-care: Just like children need rest and nourishment to thrive, so do adults. Make time for activities that nourish your mind, body, and soul, whether it's practicing mindfulness, spending time in nature, or indulging in a hobby you love. ⭐️ Cultivate gratitude: Children have a natural ability to be present and appreciate the small moments in life. Take time each day to reflect on what you're grateful for and savor the little joys that come your way. Being grateful can help shift your perspective and bring more positivity into your life. Reconnecting with your inner child can bring a sense of lightness and joy back into your life. So why not take a moment today to tap into that carefree spirit and embrace the magic of childhood once again? Let your inner child guide you on a journey of self-discovery and rediscover the wonder and delight that's been waiting for you all along. #innerchild #selfdiscovery #joyfuljourney 🌈🎈

When I was younger, I never left the house without wearing earrings. But as the beautiful chaos of motherhood took over, I stopped putting them on. Sometimes it slipped my mind; other times, it just didn’t seem worth the effort. After I took some time to reflect on self-care and ways to bring more joy into my life, I realized how much I missed them. For the past several weeks, I’ve made it a point to wear my favorite pair of studs (pictured). ✨ This morning, while putting them on, I thought of you — are there small things you can do to reconnect with your pre-motherhood self? Self-care isn’t always about grand gestures; it's often found in the tiny moments that help you feel more like you. 💖 I encourage you to reflect on the little things that bring you joy. These small acts of self-care can fit into your day more easily than you think. It worked for me with my earrings, and it might just work for you, too! 🌼 What small act of self-care will you embrace today? Share your thoughts below, and let’s inspire each other! 💬 If you are hitting any roadblocks in making self-care a part of your everyday, let us know so we can help you! #SelfCare #DailyJoy #HappyMindset #SelfCareTips #ElevateYourDay #HappyMindsetApp #HappyMindsetMoment #everydayselfcare #selfcaresnapshots #BusyProfessionals #workingmom #MothersWithAmbition #WorkingMoms #CareerAndMotherhood #WomenInLeadership #MomGoals #AmbitiousMoms #MomCommunity #InspirationForMothers #CorporateMoms #WorkLifeBalance

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

🥂 Happy Mother's Day to all! 🤱 I remember holding my girl in my arms during the first few days thinking I wish she will not have to go through what I had to. But how? Thankfully, I had the realisation that if I wanted something different for her, I would have to change something within me. She will not learn because I tell her so. I will have to show her. Since then, I have taken active steps to challenge my demons and create a life that truly resonates with me. Today, we are in the process of creating a life that is truly ours. But it required change within me, making tough decisions, and staying in those decisions is tougher, becoming intentional about the changes I wanted to make and then walking the path. If you want your children to do well, start with yourself. 💹 Invest in yourself. 🧘♀️ Take care of yourself. 💕 Love yourself. 🏖 Create a space that you can call yours. Parenting is not merely a biological process of nurturing and guiding a child through life; it transcends the physical realm into a deeply spiritual journey. It's a profound evolution of the self, where one must embark on a path of personal growth and self-awareness long before their child evolves. Start with yourself today. Give yourself the gift of #self, this #MothersDay. #HappyMothersDay2024 #Parenting #Mothers ----------------------------------------------------------------------Follow me at Shikha Tiwari for more such tips to create a better relationship with your child.

🌟Embracing Parenthood and Perspective🌟 It was raining outside, and the entire city was covered with dark, gloomy clouds. The morning had a Sunday feel, and every cell in my body was yearning for rest. However, my son is an early riser, so no matter how late I sleep, I don't have the luxury of sleeping in because he will be up at 6:30 in the morning, looking at me and ready to play, which would wake me up. I was never an early bird, but after becoming a mother, "early to bed, early to rise" has become a part of my life. Now, I enjoy this small morning routine with him. Waking up together, baby cuddles, giggles, and laughs serve as my morning motivation for the entire day before heading to the office. I learned as a new mom how a change in perspective can alter your entire situation. My early mornings, which I used to detest, have transformed into a wholesome experience. The same life situation that you dread to your core can actually become enjoyable if you change your perspective towards it. It can be anything—your health, job, personal life, spiritual life, your finances. You can be a game changer when you change your perspective because each and every tough situation is your biggest teacher. Once you accept your teacher and learn to grow, that moment you come out as a true winner in life. A wise person who has learned to enjoy life both in good and bad times.✨✨ #motherhood #perspectiveshift #morningmotivation #lifelessions #growthmindset
