How to Manage Your Emotions at Workplace for Better Results & Health
We all go through different emotions while working in the office. At times, these emotions overpower over intellect and make us behave in a negative manner. In this article, we want to discuss more on this topic and understand the simple measures that you can take to manage your emotions constructively. Why do you need to manage your emotions at work? Words and swords have the same letters and if used without any thought, they can create harm worse than swords. Once you start making a public display of your anger, frustration, unhappiness and disappointment a part of your conduct in office, it begins to affect your relationship with your colleagues as well. You are seen as a dissatisfied and pessimistic individual who drains people's energies with his/her negativity. They not only begin to avoid you in person but also detach themselves from projects in which you are involved. From the perspective of Nature Cure, these negatives emotions affect our vitality. When angr
3 Ways To Get Off The Emotional Roller Coaster In The Fertility Journey
To hear this article on my podcast, click here. If you are trying to become pregnant, each menstrual cycle, every month, brings with it a lot of emotions. Stage 1 - In the initial few days of the cycle, you are excited as you are looking forward to ovulation & are planning your strategies to time the intercourse with your partner. Stage 2 - After ovulation when your fertile window is closed, you are in the waiting mode. First, you feel relieved that you have put in the effort & then you start waiting to know whether it has worked or not. Your anxiety keeps increasing as days pass & you move closer to the end of your monthly menstrual cycle. Will I be pregnant this month or not? This question keeps hounding you. Stage 3 - At the end of the menstrual cycle, you may skip your period & get to know that you are pregnant. You are happy. But for those women who skip their period not because they have conceived, but due t
The magical power of blessings, Case studies - Part 2
In Part 1 of the blog on blessings, I shared with you information on What is a blessing, How it works, The science behind it and How to do it. In this article, I am sharing with all of you case studies of blessings based on what people, whom I know, have shared with me. (Names have been changed to respect privacy as only the experience matters) In all cases, I would advise them to look within themselves for growth and not point fingers at anyone else because all experiences happen to teach us a lesson and grow our souls. Sheetal leads a vegan lifestyle and her husband was a hardcore non-veg consumer. He would get it home and also feed the kids. One child had healed from severe respiratory conditions after going vegan and leading a healthy lifestyle. Sheetal herself had overcome many of her multiple health issues. But the daily challenges of dealing with her husband's non-veg consumption and force-feeding the kids were creating conflicts at home. One day we spoke a
3 Reasons Why Haste Is Waste When Trying To Conceive
To hear this article on my podcast, click here. The dictionary meaning of the word ‘haste' is hurrying, excessive speed, the urgency of action. When it comes to pregnancy, you can be in a haste to get pregnant due to - Advancing age or Because you have been married for 3 / 5 / 7 years or maybe less or more than that or Because you are expected by your family members to get pregnant soon. ‘Speed thrills, but kills'. You must have heard this. If you drive really fast, you can meet with an accident. It could put your life in jeopardy. Even if you are the best driver in the world, you need to be careful because driving is not just about speed, it's also about balance. Depending on what hindrances come your way on the road, you have to reduce your speed or manoeuvre your way left or right or maybe you even have to stop at times. A top, which is a toy called ‘lattoo' in hindi, is a perfect example
The Art Of Living Well & Being 'Truly' Fine
What is the most common response when people ask each other ‘how are you'? - I am fine! Is it truly so or is it merely out of convenience that we say this? Do we even know the truth for ourselves? Life and the world around us constantly make demands from us. There are so many pressures acting on us from the inside (health, moods, hunger and sexuality) and the outside (environment, financial, social, work, family). Sometimes we seem caught up in a multitude of roles and obligations devoting our time and resources, only to end up feeling frustrated, disillusioned and stressed. I am not saying that we should wear our problems on our sleeve,or wash our dirty linen in public. That would make one totally unpopular and people may even avoid us if we excessively mourn in public about our problems. Ella Wheeler Cox says beautifully in her poem ‘laugh and the world laughs with you, cry and you cry alone'. It is not an insensitive world
Can Your Feelings About Sex & Sexuality Impact Your Psychology?
Sex is the very act that created us. Something that creates life is definitely a big deal! After all, in the world, all actions spring from the basic sexual act. Paulo Coelho captures it beautifully in his novel Eleven Minutes, which, for those who haven't read the book, is the time for the average sexual act. Yes, the act and source of life has been reduced to an industry in today's world. What is worse is that our society has created taboos, dogmas, superstitions, and overall confusion around it. Psychology embraces sex as a life instinct - the Eros. This instinct starts functioning in childhood as a natural curiosity about one's body and environment, repression of which could pose serious problems to the individual's psyche. Spirituality talks about celibacy/ brahmacharya or even propagates monogamy through Grihasthashram-life of a householder. Let us examine our natural feelings about sex and sexuality at an individual level, keepin
Balancing ADHD with Mother Nature
ADHD is one of the most prevalent chronic mental health conditions affecting school-aged children these days. It is considered the most common neurodevelopmental disorder of childhood. Both children and their caregivers go through hardships to manage this condition. Is there a way out? Does Mother Nature have an answer? Read on to know more. What is ADHD? ADHD stands for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Though it is called a disorder, it is more of an imbalance of certain neurotransmitters and hormones in the body. There is no single cause for ADHD. It may be attributed to either heredity, trauma to the brain or exposure to toxic substances, alcohol and smoking during pregnancy or premature birth and side effect of medications. Making holistic lifestyle changes and using behavioural therapies can create a huge impact on the overall health of the child. It is important to know that kids with ADHD are just as smart as those without ADHD and this disorder ha
Music therapy - An effective way to manage stress
Listening to a song or a music instrument does wonders in a stressful situation. Every individual has his or her own taste when it comes to music and should listen to music whichever he or she is comfortable with. Music could be a stress buster while you travel, work or relax after a hectic day at work. One could not force himself to listen to music which could be a stress by itself rather than alleviating it. What is Music Therapy? American Music Therapy Association defines Music Therapy as “Music Therapy is the clinical and evidence-based use of music intervention to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program.” What is Stress? Physiological or biological stress is our body's response to a stressor or environmental condition. It could also explain how our body reacts to a challenge. During a stressed condition, our body's
COVID-19 Pandemic - Making The Best Of The Worst Of Times
The global health crisis brought on to us by the COVID-19 virus has many perspectives. If you did not use extended lockdowns to introspect, analyze your life and the world around you, you are “Vimoodha” - not just a fool, but a colossal one. I call it a colossal compassion crisis. Because we, humans have endlessly and ruthlessly exploited natural environmental resources, animals, and each other to the point where our actions have boomeranged on us. It is also the law of nature or call it Karma - as you sow so shall you reap. We have brought upon ourselves our own misfortunes. Now Nature has pushed us back from all spheres of life - work, entertainment, education, and others. So that Nature and animals can get a breather and reclaim their lost, encroached upon spaces. Many people are still in bewilderment at why the pandemic? Please see how the collective actions of the masses have brought forth this crisis and examine your actions, choices - how good or bad t
Conquer Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) Naturally
As the winter season begins with a bit of holiday cheer, many people feel a little “off” or "down”. People question themselves - “Is there something wrong with me?” “Why am I so unhappy?” Often, their bodies are just responding to the darker and colder days. This type of depression may be classified as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). What is the reason behind SAD? We are governed by circadian rhythms, our body's natural clock that helps regulate important functions, including sleep/wake cycles and mood. These rhythms shift during the onset of the winter season. Daytime gets shorter, reducing exposure to sunlight, yet our hectic schedules are unchanged and require us to keep going. This shift, depending on various factors namely genetics and body chemistry – affect mental health and could, in turn, have an impact on physical health creating a sense of sluggishness. It is also believed that a drop in serotonin in the
The Magical Power of Blessings - Part 1.
Unhappy with your circumstances or the people around you? Facing difficult times or relationship problems? Do you wish more happiness, abundance and peace in the world? Have you tried the magical power of blessings? What is the science behind it and how to start practising it to bring in a change in your life? I want to begin this article by expressing my gratitude to Prof Krish Murali Eswar for teaching me this concept in 2016. Since I learnt it and started practising it, it has only brought magic into my life. One of the easy ways to bring peace and happiness into your life is by giving more of what you think you lack. Sounds crazy? Absolutely not! Are you aware of what a positive effect you can have on yourself, others, and situations when you take a moment to bless them? What is a blessing? Hey, wait! Only saints, elders can bless youngsters, isn't it? That's not entirely true! Anyone can bless anyone & anything. We need to wish good for someone. That sh
Live Better With Increased Sense & Sensitivity
Sensitivity is a survival trait that lets you be more observant, see the real nature of things and people, and act accordingly “It has always been a mystery to me, how men can feel themselves honored by the humiliation of their fellow beings” - M K Gandhi Many of us observe the deteriorated state of today's society - Rising costs of living, corruption, abuse of power, youngsters harming their precious health with colas & noodles. Cutting-edge technology and scientific advancement have made lives comfortable and better for most of us. But, it has also led to lifestyle diseases such as obesity, hypertension, and heart attacks. All of this is making a mark on our behavioral and emotional evolution. But, are we really sensitive towards this? A Disconnected & De-sensitized Society Anyone in the world is just a call away. The more there are tools to communicate, the less authentic communication there is. People are less aware of their own and ot
Anxiety Relief E-Learning Course
Break-Free From Anxiety Through Yogic Practices. Attain The Happy State Of Mind BOOK NOW @ INR 799/- A lot of us feel anxious just before a big presentation, an examination, or before making a big decision in life. Such episodes of anxiety are ingrained in our evolution and survival. However, if you find yourself obsessively worrying about things or situations, or experience persistent episodes of anxiety that lingers in your mind and affect your physiology, it needs to be addressed. Anxiety is your body's signal to ‘danger'. When you perceive a threat (real or imagined), your stress hormones rise, inducing your nervous system to generate the sensations, called ‘Anxiety'. It is not a disorder or disease but a feeling/sensation. However, it is a common condition in today's times. Given the volatile economic and social situations anxiety is finding its roots in human society very rapidly. Addressing this need of the hour
3 Golden Rules To Get Along Well With People
Enhance Mental Wellness & Reduce Social Anxiety No man is an island and it is well established that we are social creatures. We need to interact and transact with people in various capacities. That necessitates the art of getting along with others. In order to get along well with people, we need to hone a few skills within ourselves. 1. Assessing People: This is the foremost skill of ensuring a healthy and pleasant social life. You need to develop the ability to assess people. This means understanding their intrinsic nature, through careful study and observation. Just as in the animal kingdom there are the fierce carnivores, meek herbivores, and shrewd scavengers, similarly different humans have different temperaments. Some are humble, some are arrogant, some are patient and some have a short fuse. The animals have a collective nature. For example, all tigers are ferocious, all deer are timid. However, in humans, each person is unique and people don&
New Age Stressors that Bother You and How to Tackle them Naturally!
Are you afraid that you are going to be alone forever in life? Do you fret about rising cancer rates and fear it might be you one of the patients one day? Modern living factors ranging from being plugged continuously into facing the impact of human activity on this planet have generated a new set of stressors. They aren't registered as phobias in the most Psychology or Psychiatry textbooks yet, but still, they happen to bother us these days. What are these Neo-Stressors? The modern age stressors have taken a new avatar as there is a development of technology and advancement in the field of science and technology. Neo-stressors are explained as follows; Nomophobia Nomophobia is the irrational fear of being without your mobile phone or being unable to use your phone for some reason, such as the absence of a signal or running out of minutes or battery power. Zero-Inbox Syndrome The urge to check every notification and clear every inbox is registering as a stres
Anxiety in Children
What is anxiety? The word ‘anxiety' is commonly associated with the experience/feeling of nervousness, distress, apprehension, worry and may even have physical manifestations like sweating, nausea, tremors, headaches etc. Simply put, anxiety is our response to a trigger, which is usually something we are apprehensive about or scared of. The trigger may be real or imaginary. Interestingly, the physiological responses associated with anxiety are similar to the way our body responds to fear i.e. the flight-or-fight response. These essentially are a set of bodily changes (like increased heartbeat and blood pressure) that assist you in fighting or escaping as soon as a threat or danger is perceived. Is anxiety normal? Even in children? Anxiety, to some extent, is not only normal it is adaptive and has functional value. For example, if there is a real, physical threat in front of you then the feeling of anxiety will prompt you to do something about it (fight or es
Part 3 – How to practice the art of surrendering
In part1 we learnt the meaning of surrendering with examples. In part2 we understood about intuition and raising vibrations with a positive lifestyle. In this article, we will learn the practical approaches to practising total surrender and reaping the benefits of that in our daily lives. Fruits of surrender Fruits of surrender are in the blissful experience. Life goes on as usual but without the bitterness of wants and fears of our egoistic self. There is a sense of peace that no longer depends on situations, people or events to make us happy and satisfied. All possible outcomes must be accepted and enjoyed with the same spirit, the perfect and imperfect merge and don't seem to matter anymore. Series of steps to follow to practice surrender The following are the steps that I follow which have personally helped me see results more often than not: Step1 - Gratitude for the present- Get your mind to the centre of your being – calm, peaceful, h
Tension, anxiety and depression - Deal with it naturally
NO Tranquilizers, please Consider today's scenario, it is well nigh impossible to find a person who is free from tension, anxiety, and depression of some sort or other may be of a lesser degree. For decades we have been declaring from rooftops that tranquillizers are no answer to the problem of tension. What the patient suffering from a state of anxiety or tension needs is an intelligent guidance offered to him to enable him to make a sensible effort aimed at making him understand the real causes of his mental condition and a positive encouragement to him by a father-figure, a Guru-figure or a Mother- figure or that of a suhriday friend, so that he may get back his mental health the sane, safe and sure way. The individual who chooses to become an addict to tranquillizers use every time he is mentally upset would only become worse and worse progressively & he would long reach the point of no return Our view in this regard has been supported by leading psychologi
Inner Child Therapy: Let us breathe freely
Remember those days when we danced in the rain and our mothers allowed us to be free and spontaneous? Remember that time when we forgot little worries but life went on fine? Remember the beautiful walk in the mountains, where oxygen was low but our lungs were full and free? Where are those days gone now, when sleep was so fulfilling and deep? We all know about the fact that we store the emotions in our mind but we are totally oblivious to the fact that our mind is in sync with our body. The emotions which we store by getting affected from day to day activities are stored in various body parts. When our emotions are disturbed we start getting into the vicious cycle of pain and disease. In our body, everything works in harmony. Inner child therapy is all about getting in touch with that part of you which is storing a certain emotion - going back to the time when you experienced a feeling of guilt, when your trust was broken when you faced embarrassment or knowing where your ang
Anger – The Continuum from Procreative to Destructive Energy
It is common sense that the root cause of anger lies in disappointment; a disappointment which comes from failure in the meeting of expectations. However, not every expectation leads to disappointment and not every disappointment leads to anger. Simply put, only expectations which are tied to our survival leadto anger. Now, we all have our own definition of survival. This is the reason why, in any situation, two people can have different emotions when hit by disappointment. Every moment that we live, we live with hope and hope gives birth to expectation. Since the definition of our survival is programmed in interdependence, our expectations are largely turned towards others. Therefore, almost every moment spent with expectation carries the potential to turn into anger. Moments spent without hope are moments without curiosity, which quickens the process of ageing. With age, we turn hopeless all the time by concluding on our relationships, career, family and self. We often dub it
