Hello there!
As promised in the last edition of my newsletter, ?(https://www.dhirubhai.net/pulse/you-living-simply-existing-madhurima-mazumdar-dxqlf/?trackingId=5M8sgtA5Ta2h9%2FHcdMVivw%3D%3)
We are going to take the next step towards living our lives joyfully. If your days are a blur of tasks, obligations, and deadlines, leaving you exhausted and unfulfilled by the time the weekend arrives. This cycle of mere existence is common among professionals, but it doesn’t have to be your norm.
In this edition, we’ll explore how you can break free from this autopilot mode and truly start living in the moment. By implementing actionable steps, you can reconnect with your inner self, find purpose beyond work, and bring more joy into your life.
?
1. The Power of Presence
Being present means focusing fully on the moment you're in, without being pulled into the past or the future. It sounds simple, but in a fast-paced world, our minds are constantly racing with to-do lists or worries.
Action step: Try mindfulness exercises. Start with small moments of awareness—when you're eating, walking, or having a conversation, focus solely on that activity. Pay attention to your senses, how your body feels, and the energy around you. Start Your Day with 1 Minute of Mindfulness – Set a timer for 1 minute. Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and focus on your breath to calm your mind.
?
2. Reconnect with Your Inner Self
When life gets busy, we lose touch with who we are and what makes us truly happy. It’s essential to carve out time to reconnect with your inner self and uncover your true desires.
Action step: Journaling can be a powerful tool for self-discovery. Write down one thought or feeling each day. By the end of the week, reflect on any patterns or insights that arise.
Set aside 10 minutes a day to reflect on your thoughts and feelings. Ask yourself, “What do I want in life?” and “What brings me joy?”
?
3. Find Purpose Beyond Work
Many of us tie our sense of purpose to our jobs, which can leave us feeling empty if we’re not fulfilled by our work. Purpose is about aligning your life with your values and passions.
Action step: Identify activities or causes that resonate with you outside of your career. Whether it’s volunteering, learning a new skill, or engaging in creative hobbies, begin integrating these into your weekly routine. Identify one thing you can remove or say "no" to this week, freeing up time for yourself.

4. Infuse Your Life with Joy
Living joyfully means doing more of what lights you up and less of what drains you. It’s about prioritizing your well-being and seeking out experiences that bring laughter, peace, and fulfillment.

?Action step: Create a ‘Joy List’—a collection of things that make you happy. Each week, choose one item from your list and make time for it. Whether it’s spending time in nature, dancing, or connecting with loved ones, let joy guide your decisions. Pick an activity from your Joy List and commit to doing it this week. Share how it felt afterward.
?
5. Break the Cycle of Overwhelm
The cycle of mere existence often stems from overwhelm. We become so wrapped up in our responsibilities that we forget to pause and recharge. It’s important to simplify where you can and give yourself permission to rest.
Action step: Take a step back and assess your schedule. Are there tasks you can delegate or say “no” to? Practice setting boundaries, and make rest and relaxation non-negotiable parts of your life.
?
***Choose the activity from above, you feel most connected with and follow it for the next 7 days!! Don’t forget to send me a DM on your progress
?
Let’s not forget, life is not about merely existing. It’s about living fully, embracing joy, and staying connected to yourself and those around you.
?
With love and joy,
