Shhh....Just BE!

Shhh....Just BE!

It all starts with YOU!

It was unusual to make another trip to India, within 2 months of being back from a 7 week trip!

Usually some crisis has to happen for those kind of things.

I told myself that I am doing this to attend two weddings & it will be another opportunity to meet family again.

But as I got more aligned with myself, I realized that I was doing it for myself – to pamper myself, to actually feel free of the typical choices and balancing we always end up doing.

It is ok for me to be out of balance and JUST BE!

And the universe quietly started aligning with me.

First, as soon as I ended up booking my ticket, I got invited by my school, St Joseph’s Academy in Dehradun, as the guest of honor to give a talk to the year 12 students.

Then, an hour before my flight, ?an invitation landed in my inbox to speak at a TEDx Stage – all fitting in nicely with the trip – not disrupting any of the two marriage plans.

I said yes to both the opportunities- not knowing how I will find time, but knowing fully that I certainly WILL.

If this was the first time, I would think of it as a coincidence.

But no, in last 3 years of living full, I have seen several times when things just fell in my lap because of MY BEING.

And that is what I want you to think of today.

YOU are the center of YOUR universe.

Others exist

because YOU exist.

Do not let THEM come in the way of loving YOURSELF. Only when you love yourselves, you can extend that love to others.?

Create those moments of JUST BEING:

They can be:

- Sitting down with your favorite cup of coffee/tea all by yourself

- Soaking in the shades of those leaves or the smell of freshly mowed grass

- Seeing the sun shine through droplets of rain, hanging on to your clothes line

- Taking a long relaxing shower, with music playing in the background

- Writing notes to the people in your life (my daughter taught me this one)

- Cooking the one dish you love

- Going for a walk & feeling the breeze gently massage your face

- Dancing in the rain or simply walking in it, without worrying about getting wet

- Singing to yourself & falling in love with your voice

- lying on the grass in the dark & looking at the bright star-studded sky

Spend time with yourself- the way you like.

Allow YOURSELF to JUST BE to add calmness, peace & joy to your world!

YOU are the light.?

YOU are the prize.

Soak yourself in. Fall in love with YOURSELF!

I'm going through difficulties in my life, 12 years ago I left my hometown, looking for work opportunities, I found my dream job, but I'm not happy here in this place, I feel very lonely here, I have practically no friends, and the weekends consume me with a lot of boredom, honestly I don't know what else to do....sorry for the rant!
