Expressive Aphasia -"Got a Lot on Your Mind, But Can't Get the Words Out?"

"Having a Lot to Say, But Struggling to Find the Words"

The experience of harbouring numerous thoughts and emotions inside, yet finding it tough to voice them affects everyone. It resembles a disconnect between our idea-filled mind and our reluctant mouth. This internal conflict can arise for several reasons each as intricate as the individual experiencing it.

When someone has plenty to say but struggles to express it, this might stem from their reliance on the internet as their main source of information. The web overflows with unreliable content. Many people relate to this feeling in various ways. This situation reflects uncertainty about reaching out to others or avoiding potential judgment. If someone finds themselves at a loss for words other approaches exist to portray a learning difficulty or to discuss confusion such as being speechless...

The feeling of having lots of thoughts and feelings inside, but finding it hard to say them out loud, is something we all go through. It's like there's a gap between our mind full of ideas, and our mouth, which doesn't want to speak them. This inner struggle can happen for many reasons, each one as complex as the person feeling it.

In the moments when one feels that they have a lot to express but can't quite put it into words. It's like having a vast ocean of feelings inside, but only being able to use a few drops of language to describe that feeling. 

This challenge can come from different situations and Several reasons:

Too Many Emotions: When you’re flooded with emotions, it’s hard to sort through them and explain them clearly. This lack of self-awareness of their own emotions or thoughts leads to difficulty in expressing themselves accurately.

Fear of Judgment: Worry About Being Judged and the fear of being misinterpreted or negatively judged can stop people from opening up about their deepest thoughts. These fearful thoughts might lead to us suppressing our words and feelings and stop people speak what they feel intentionally.

Not Finding the Right Words: When you're dealing with complicated feelings, it can be tough to find the right words to describe them well. This clash between what you feel and what you can say can lead to frustration and feeling like you're not good enough. Sometimes, our experiences are so detailed that we can’t find the perfect words to describe them.

Bad Past Experiences: If you’ve had negative experiences talking about your feelings like being ignored or criticized, it can make you hesitant to share in the future.

Cultural and Societal Influences: Social pressures may come from the people who expect you to behave in a set way or say what is likely because you're from a certain place or culture. They determine how we present ourselves, hence forcing us to censor what we say.

Processing Speed: There is a disconnection in our brain because most times we think faster than we speak.

Being boxed inside can make you lonely and wronged and feel like you can't get your point across like no one gets it.

Knowing these things can help bridge the gap and enable effective communication.

The important thing is to understand that many battle with what you are going through. But, it is really hard to express all of those feelings.

 However, there are ways available to deal with these kinds of emotions:

1. Simply Keep a Diary: Writing down what you think and feel provides a quiet space to keep your thoughts and also helps you understand them better.

2. Be Intellectually Passionate: For emotional expression, but also through music, movement and painting, some can share their feelings without having to speak.

3. Look for Assistance: If there is a person that you trust, like a friend or family member seeing a counsellor could allow you to vent your feelings and provide possible solutions.

4. Like Right Now: With mindfulness, you become more familiar with your thoughts and feelings and don’t need to respond.

5. Be happy.

It's okay if you only sometimes say the right thing. Feelings are often hard to explain so sometimes simply acknowledging and letting yourself feel is what you need. This can help us feel better, by knowing and admitting that's how we feel.😊

Also, being open can make it tough to express yourself. Sharing deep feelings can be scary, as it requires you to trust and be close to someone. For many people, admitting they're vulnerable can feel like showing a weak spot, so they hold back from sharing their deepest feelings.

Realising that internal dialogue can be a struggle is something most of us employ in one way or the other. It is this all—emotions, Their concerns, and what society wants from us. You don’t need to feel this way, but still, it is necessary to know – you are not alone. Everyone goes through this. If we follow what it is that makes it so difficult to express our intentions – emotions and fear of others’ opinions – we can begin speaking of what we are.

To be able to communicate requires time to be allocated to this activity and practice made to be able to have a master on the issue. You can: write in a diary doing something artistic or talking to someone you know and trust. The first broad move is to discover how you are and realise that it is all right to be like that. Do not panic if you can’t find the right words, or if it is all too much. It is perfectly okay to be nice to yourself as you seek to be more receptive because your emotions count.

Finally, only if one is willing to take that leap further and reveal what is in one’s heart is it possible to make it blossom so that one may open up towards other people. When you open up, you do not feel better because everyone else gets it, but you also assist everyone else to do the same.

We should accept our multilayered emotions and with love and respect it should be our aim to foster a society that honours everyone’s thoughts and feelings.😊

Why Worry? A Spiritual Perspective

Anxiety, one of the natural feelings everyone experiences at some point in their life,  can be attributed to fear of the future or concern over the past. 

 Anxiety, which in its aspect might be understood as a chatter in the mind, is an agent with which any individual might be familiar.

It is an influential mental perception resulting from the fear of the unknown, the absence of religious faith, and an overreliance on personal skills.

Psychologically, worry is considered to be a form of spiritual attention deficit, in which one forgets his or her spiritual self.

The Roots of Worry

Worry grows out of the root of severance and division which is the exact opposite of the reality of union. We convince ourselves that we are lonely, and have no one to turn to within a society that is so unpredictable.

 The very illusion of division thus makes the corresponding environment ideal for the thriving of fear, anxiety, and, consequently, worry.
We stress over the future, over the past, about our health, money, relationships and everything else. This is like having a mental checklist of things that our minds constantly work on as if there is always something to be worried about.

Worry and the Spiritual Life

Anxiety does not only indicate a psychological status, but it also points to a mini Spiritual condition. It acts as a shield between us and our souls, so we cannot feel the inner peace, happiness, and contentment that are part of our divine nature. As the opposite of anxiety, when involved with worry we are blinded to the guidance system within our spirituality.

Worry is a form of disbelief on the part of the individual in the existence of a divine plan.

 It suggests that we cannot rely on life's happening in the sequence of a divine plan. It points out that we need to dominate and manage every aspect of life while leaving and getting carried away by the currents of life.

Among the amazing sources, the Bhagavad Gita provides purpose and inspiration on how to know and not worry.

Overcoming Worry Through Spirituality

Worry is not something that can be eliminated or even stifled and this is why overcoming worry cannot be explained as a process of suppressing worry. It’s more about the change of approach to it.

The Bhagavad Gita often referred to as the Gita is part of the great Indian epic the Mahabharata.

Self-analysis of the passage of the work of the Bhagavad Gita helps in understanding the causes of worry and specific advice to do away with it.

Here are some key teachings:

Karma yoga is one of the resources for dealing with detachment from outcomes that is practised by people.

VERSE 47

कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन ।

मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि ॥४७॥

karmaṇy-evādhikāraste mā phaleṣu kadācana

mā karma-phala-hetur bhūr mā te saṅgo’stv-akarmaṇi

Your right is to perform your work, but never to the results. Never be motivated by the results of your actions, nor should you be attached to not performing your prescribed duties.

Verse 2. 47: ''That right which is well-deserved can be followed by the prescribed tasks, But you are not entitled to the results of the actions done by you, Nor are you to be considered as the performer of the result of the activities done by you''

VERSE 8

न हि प्रपश्यामि ममापनुद्याद्

यच्छोकमुच्छोषणमिन्द्रियाणाम् ।

अवाप्य भूमावसपत्नमृद्धं

राज्यं सुराणामपि चाधिपत्यम् ॥८॥

na hi prapaśyāmi mamāpanudyād

yac chokam ucchoṣaṇam indriyāṇām

avāpya bhūmāv-asapatnam ṛddhaṁ

rājyaṁ surāṇām api cādhipatyam

Even if I gain a substantial kingdom beyond compare and the power of the demigods, I see nothing that can remove this grief that is eroding my senses.

The eighth verse of this text points out the message that we should engage in an action We should work without worrying about the outcome.  

This way, one can avoid anxiety and stress because he or she has done his or her part in doing the right thing and the rest has been left in the hands of the almighty.

However, it should be noted that excessive hardness is not a proper attitude to choose to remain equal in success and failure.

VERSE 48

योगस्थः कुरु कर्माणि सङ्गं त्यक्त्वा धनञ्जय ।

सिद्ध्यसिद्ध्योः समो भूत्वा समत्वं योग उच्यते ॥४८॥

yogasthaḥ kuru karmāṇi saṅgaṁ tyaktvā dhanañjaya

siddhy-asiddhyoḥ samo bhūtvā samatvaṁ yoga ucyate

O Dhanañjaya, stand firm in yoga, perform your activities give up attachment and be equipoised for both success and failure. Such balance is known as yoga.

Verse 2. 48: ''Fix your mind on the performance of the action and do not Geld in performing it, whether you meet with success or failure; such a state is said to be Yoga"

Worrying is lessened as well as emotional fluctuation when we anchor ourselves to have a balanced view of success and failure.

Submit to God’s Will 

VERSE 66

सर्वधर्मान्परित्यज्य मामेकं शरणं व्रज ।

अहं त्वां सर्वपापेभ्यो मोक्षयिष्यामि मा शुचः ॥६६॥

sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja

ahaṁ tvāṁ sarva-pāpebhyo mokṣayiṣyāmi mā śucaḥ

Abandon all types of dharma – come and surrender unto Me alone! Do not fear, for I will surely deliver you from all reactions.

Verse 18. 66: ''Give up all other forms of religion and just devote yourselves to Me alone; I will set you free from the wicked reactions of the world; you should not be afraid''

Compliance with religious beliefs can help to reduce the load of concern; the concept of turning to the powers above.

Faith and submission to the plan of the almighty decrease the load of the cares and concerns.

They serve as a reminder that you are not in this struggle alone; someone cares and is actively working to make better the things that have gone wrong.

Though there is a difference between the terms mindfulness and present moment awareness, they are both closely related.

VERSE 5

उद्धरेदात्मनात्मानं नात्मानमवसादयेत् ।

आत्मैव ह्यात्मनो बन्धुरात्मैव रिपुरात्मनः ॥५॥

uddhared ātmanātmānaṁ nātmānam avasādayet

ātmaiva hy-ātmano bandhur ātmaiva ripur ātmanaḥ

Living beings must elevate themselves by the mind – they must not degrade themselves. Certainly, the mind is the friend of living beings as well as their worst enemy. 

Verse 6. 5: ''One has to cleanse the passage for the august Self by one’s own mind. Mind is the friend too of the fractioned soul and his foe as well''

Awareness and detachment enable a person to control his or her thoughts and feelings.

Therefore focusing on the present moment helps one to get out of the worrying system of the past and future.

''Practical suggestions on how to eliminate worry from one’s life''

Practice Detachment

Trust the process and what can come out of it, do not concern yourself with results. Remember that your grim work is not to go unrewarded but rather that which in due time will be rewarded.

Cultivate Equanimity

Have a positive attitude towards all that you do, this includes success and failure. Realize that both are included in that process and there is always something for one to learn.

Surrender and Trust

Pray, leave your concerns with the Lord/put your faith in God to take care of things. Believe that there is something better out there and someone is leading you in the right direction.

Stay Present

Meditation and deep breathing are critical in helping a person focus on the present moment and not get easily carried away by stressful thoughts. This can seriously assist to lessen a anxiousness and enhance the quality of your idea approach.

Reflect on the Teachings

Defining the recommended activity, one should state that it is crucial to read and ponder over the content of the Bhagavad Gita continually. It means that you should turn to its wisdom when you have to think about what to do concerning worry and uncertainty.

In Nutshell

The Gita presents instructions on how to eliminate the tumour of worry and attain a state of positive evolution. That is why one must learn to detach, cultivate equanimity, and surrender to divinity and presence in our lives to learn how to avoid worry and lead a joyful life. Yes, worry is a mode of existence and we should practice managing worry with the help of Gita counselling.🙏

The Power of Positive Reinforcement: Celebrating Wins

We tend to mark certain occasions, the special occasions such as the day we graduate, the day we are engaged, the day we get married, the day we buy a car or the housewarming occasions, our birthdays.
They are embraced as chances in which we can rejoice with our loved ones.
Big wins are those victories that give a feeling of achievement, that is similar to the emergence on the top of the mountain and the view of the trekking goals.
However, the little triumphs, being disciplined in doing your workout regimen, learning a new trade, and facing your phobia, are the paths that lead up to the said overlook.

It is also equally significant to note that such accomplishments are just as valuable as those larger, cognizable successes, as they feed the drive to continue striving, add to one’s confidence, and sustain forward progress.

In general, celebrations make us feel that we are appreciated, admired and recognised by the society. But we almost always neglect these minor achievements.

How about marking the completion of little things?

Do we take time to celebrate what we have achieved?

How many times do we clink glasses to acknowledge how far we have come, how strong and mature we have become?

But, why get happy about the little things? It is necessary to acknowledge and celebrate

Smaller achievements are stepping stones that pave the way towards that glorious finish line.

Celebrating your wins no matter how big or small helps you take stock of your personal growth.


A simple reward for any achievement no matter the magnitude is one of the more effective methods of encouraging people and ensuring that they remain on track. Did you finally do that thing you have been procrastinating to do?

You know, you know, that project that is been pending on your to-do list for years now?

And what about sticking to that healthy eating plan for a whole week? That's pretty cool if you did!

Don't forget to give yourself a pat on the back for the little things you've managed to do.

I mean, it's not just about bragging rights, right?

Celebrating those tiny wins is really about saying, "Hey, good job," to yourself for putting in the work and seeing some progress.

It keeps you pumped for whatever's coming up next.

When you finish something, even if it's small, it's like throwing gasoline on the fire of motivation.

Whether it is a very big goal or the smallest of them, each time you achieve any one of them, it builds up your morale as well as your abilities.

It's a self-confidence booster

It also helps you build up a positive view towards yourself because when you notice what you are doing right and give yourself a high five it encourages you.

The nice thing is that it is as if every first step builds the next block to the castle of self-belief.

It is very crucial because having positive feelings towards our capabilities encourages us to do more and more.

Therefore, do not shy away from celebrating all the small wins because, in fact, those are extremely important to maintaining motivation levels high and confidence.

It is all about saying it loud ‘Watch me go, watch me shine’ and feeling it from head to toe.

Did you actually do that thing that you have been meaning to do for a long time?

That project that has been with you almost more than a guardian for what seems to be an eternity?

Well, if you made it a week on your health kick then that is pretty good going in this day and age!

"You go, you!"

Don't forget to give yourself some credit for those small victories. It's not just about showing off, it's about saying "You go, you!" for putting in the effort and actually seeing some results. 

It keeps your motivation levels up, you know?

It could be the smallest thing or it can be a big event, as soon as one finishes something, it’s like fueling the fire of desire to continue doing more.
That kind of feeling about yourself and about what you can achieve is worth getting excited!

Mini Jackpot

Well then, why become so worked up over the seemingly small stuff?

Because for some reason it feels like you are getting a small bonus each time you complete a task from the list. It makes one look forward to the next level.

It’s such a delight, you know I feel so much happier if I have sweets or snacks.
Every time you pull something right and say to yourself ‘Good job’, it is as if you are building up one more block in your self-esteem castle.
It’s like very important because having a positive attitude towards the skills that you have helps you to continue with the practices you have in mind.

So, go on and party for those teeny-tiny wins, because they're a big deal for keeping you pumped and full of confidence.

It's all about saying, "Check me out, I've got this down!" and actually believing it.

It's like school for life

When you cheer on the journey and not just the prize, it shows you that hard work pays off.

It helps you understand that success is not only about the victory but the small steps you are willing to make to win.
And when you achieve those little goals, you somehow find a way of continuing even if things become all the more difficult.

It's like rocket fuel

Getting something right, no matter how little or big it may be motivates you to move on to the next thing.
There is a science that says if you relax and take it easy and attend to minor triumphs, you will get more done and you will be more alive.

A reality check

In some way, it feels like the map of the trip you are about to take.
It is also important to celebrate small achievements in life so that you may be able to realize how far you have come in life.
It’s a reality check of all the efforts put in and all the odds that have been overcome.

It's like brain candy

Doing celebrations assists you to be more effective in matters concerning concentration, planning and identifying goals and tasks.
It is a kind of motivator that rewards you and encourages you every time you are creative.

The happy chemicals

Every time you do something you’re supposed to, your head celebrates by releasing dopamine, the ‘happy hormone’.
Thus it means that, when you celebrate, you get to celebrate victory over personal failure by throwing confetti at it.

I lied, the only trick that is good for a party is a thankful one.
Gratitude is the grand prize Let me explain. When you take a moment to say, "Thanks, life," you're really just having a party for being awesome.

You don't need to break the bank

You can celebrate without spending a rupee if you want.

Just do something that makes you feel like a champ, you know?

Here are some free ways to party hard for your success:

Chill with a good book.
Take a stroll in nature.
Catch up with your bestie.
Take a day off to chill and love yourself.
Play games on your phone.
Jam out to your favourite tunes.
Eat like a king or queen.
Sleep in like you're in a marathon.
Hang with the little ones.
Browse through old photos.
Cook up a storm.
Take some cool pics.
Get cosy with some tea and cookies.
Explore a new place. 

Watch a flick.
Take some munch on some good food with your posse.
Have a backyard bash.

So, the next time you get something done, do not forget to celebrate by taking a bow, or at least patting yourself on the back.
Keep it up and enjoy the fact that you are doing such.

It is important to always feel like. We must love our wins even if they are small and even if there is only a small probability they are the best ones.

Far from being a frivolous activity, Too much celebration isn’t frivolous, they copy: it is actually an integral process of growth.

It is like saying ‘I acknowledge you, I value you and let us continue kicking life’s ass!’.

I would like to live life and paint it with hues of thankfulness and joy, instead of making it drab in any colour. Cheers to the little moments! 🎉.

Regaining inner peace and happiness,navigating disconnection

Feeling disconnected, unhappy, stuck

Maybe a bit sad and lonely.😞

You feel like days and nights are just passing.

Physically you are OK, but nothing interests you; you spend the whole day just thinking aimlessly, feeling bored, restless, and having no direction. You forget so many things in daily life. Sometimes at heart, you feel heavy.

You feel as though you are standing on an island surrounded by water and cannot see your way to escape. Isolated from every sign of life, the spark of joy feels like a memory, and peace—just a fleeting dream. Our existence feels empty of joy because we are cut off from ourselves and the world around us, and even simple activities seem devoid of delight.

When we go out of touch with ourselves and the world around us, happiness and peace become somehow estranged.

We all get disconnected at times. The world seems to fade in colour, the things we used to love to do become hollow, and life is kind of saturated with a feeling of unhappiness.

This state of emotional disengagement can be a symptom of various factors, but the way to repossess our inner light is always the same—an act of conscious will to rebuild the bridge between our inner world and the external world.

How to find happiness again?

First, understand the root causes of disconnection. It is important to understand the root causes of your feelings to find the solutions.

Occasionally, however, the disconnection might come from multiple sources; let's take a look at these.

Stress and Burnout: Work, family, and social demands leave little space for attention to self.

Chronic Health Conditions: Prolonged illness and bad health conditions can make it difficult to connect with others and experience joy.

Disconnection from Values: Most of the time, a lost connection to values results in a mind and heart in an unhappy state.

Lack of Purpose: Aimlessness can create the feeling of floating adrift.

Social Isolation: Infrequent and poor social ties will make one feel lonely and socially disconnected.

Unresolved Emotions: Trapped emotions or unresolved trauma may contribute to lingering unhappiness.

A great deal of utilization of Social Media and Technology: The advanced digital age has knitted complex threads of connectivity throughout the world.

Social media scrolling provides an illusion of connectivity which is deficient in depth and richness as compared to face-to-face encounters.

Has made us feel all alone on the other hand.

Take a big step away from the computer, and go out in the world and find real-life connections: Meet a friend for a cup of tea, check on a local event, or maybe a hobby group. Real human connection nourishes the soul.

Fear of Rejection: Ahh!, fear of rejection. We have all felt that one. Remember always that rejection isn't the final verdict about your life.

It's just a mismatch—a puzzle piece that doesn't fit your picture.

 Be vulnerable. Be a risk-taker. 

Not all connections will come into bloom; some never will. That's okay.

Every rejection you face is a re-direction to the one belonging in your life.

Emotional Disconnection: There are those times when we want to cocoon ourselves within emotional numbness.

Depression, anxiety, or life can blanket us in a thick fog that separates us from others.

Break the silence, and be honest with loved ones. Share your feelings. Let them know that you are struggling.

How to connect in the time of disconnection

Acknowledge and Validate Your Feelings: The first step is the acknowledgement of your emotional state. There is no need to suppress or even judge your emotions of disconnection and unhappiness.

Reconnect with Yourself: Most of the time, disconnection begins with disconnecting from ourselves.

Take some time to reflect. It can be through meditation, spending time in nature, or doing what you have not done in a long while but used to love.

Establish What Matters to You and Your Needs: What are your deepest needs?

Are you omitting your requirements for attachment, imagination, or growth?

We feel that life has no meaning if we lose the ability to look after things that really matter. Take time to go through what your values were.

Follow Your Passions: Are there hobbies or other interests that you may have put on the back burner that brought you joy?

Treat Yourself Kindly: Be kind to yourself. Let go of your mistakes.

Nurturing Your Mind and Body: Make Sure you get adequate Sleep ( 7-8 hours of good sleep ), Eat a Healthy Diet, Exercise and an important thing is to try to regularly be in the lap of nature. Spend Time in Nature just by sitting outdoors breathe some fresh air.

Limit Social Media: Comparisons and unrealistic portrayals are on social media to assist in feelings of inadequacy.

Take breaks or set a limit in time on these platforms.

Connect with Loved Ones: Humans are social in nature.

Strong social connections are required for our emotional well-being.

Embrace New Experiences: Moving beyond one's comfort zone will invite unexpected happiness and long-term growth.

Practice Forgiveness: Resentment is a weight one should not carry.

Even if it is only toward yourself, forgiveness is huge in terms of moving on.

The states of disconnection and unhappiness are overcome with effort, time, and forbearance.

You achieve peace and happiness by slowly rediscovering mindfulness, relationships, exercise, gratitude, meaning, and self-compassion.

There may be some setbacks on the way, but consistent efforts at self-care can help one come out of that fog and ensure peace and happiness from within. ❤️

"Hello, How Are You?"

From Small Talk to Deep Connections

"Hello, how are you?" It is such a simple phrase. Uttered innumerable times a day.

A universal greeting

That is, if anything, one of the most universal greetings woven into the fabric of our daily interactions. There lies the beauty in a hello: it is universal. Any person, regardless of their age, background, and prestige, benefits greatly from this simple gesture.

An icebreaker, an acknowledgement of being present, a soft query into another's well being a hello is much more than a string of words.

A gesture of solidarity
A quick break from the daily grind to say,, "I see you, and I am here," is a show of support. In a time when social isolation is on the rise, acknowledgement of this kind is extremely helpful in preventing the episodes of loneliness and isolation that are regrettably common in modern society.

Hello and the Potent Power of a Greeting


Hello, can kick off positive interactions between people from different backgrounds—understanding and respect.


Imagine a silent suburb where everyone passes by and passes by without even greeting one another; it only takes a hello to bridge those awkward social gaps and make the atmosphere much more communal. A simple hello can be the difference in tipping someone to begin talking. It means readiness to connect and create an inviting environment.

Spark of Connection

Humans are social creatures hardwired for connection. Hello serves as that initial spark to ignite a possible interaction. It shows openness and willingness to engage, whether with a neighbour or coworker. It invites eye contact, a smile, and perhaps even conversation. This feeling of being connected, even momentarily, could make a difference in our day and theirs.

The Power of Positivity

A real hello is an act of kindness. It injects a shot of positivity into someone's day, letting them know they are seen and that they matter.

The Power of Questioning

It opens the door to a conversation. More fundamentally, though, the question "How are you?" represents an invitation to connect.

 A hello, and a legitimate interest in another person's well-being, can provide a moment of brief human connection.

Beyond Small Talk

"Hello, how are you?" can be a real springboard for deeper conversations. 

It may be the bridge to share burdens, celebrate successes, or simply to give a listening ear.
Such a greeting at work can create stronger teams that further build trust in the workplace.
Within communities, it can build bridges and understanding.

The Art of Responding

Any honest response, no matter how brief, makes all the difference.
Similar to how we ask "how are you?", so is the response.
It shows we have acknowledged the question and do care about the person asking.

The world of today, fast-moving, can make "Hello, how are you?"
sometimes a formality, like a passing-by or quick exchange. But the real question of another's well-being possesses some immense power. A sincere "How are you?" in times of growing social isolation could save a life or at least provide a chance for a deeper connection.

The Future of Greetings


In a fast world, ruled by technology, the concept of "Hello, how are you?" takes on different dimensions. Of late, most of the chatbots and virtual assistants are programmed to use similar greetings. But the real essence of that question, which forms the root of a certain human connection, is missing in all these interactions.
The future of greetings is yet to be written. Will "Hello, how are you?" go on being the bedrock of human interactions, or are emojis and virtual handshakes going to take the place?


Probably in striking a balance: using technology to better our interactions but still showcasing the power of face-to-face communication.


"Hello, how are you?" These two simple words hold the power. Within our fast-moving world, we shall not take this greeting lightly.
They are a bridge across cultures and a basis for connection—a call to empathy.
Let us use it in earnest, listen with open hearts, and really connect; for in these tiny moments lies a better world in the making one "hello" at a time.😊

In your perspective, what makes a greeting beautiful? 

 Thank you. Please share in the comments.

Work with Pride

Many people feel ashamed of their employment when they don't match the "high-powered" or "prestigious" mould in a society that is obsessed with status and achievement.

Society bombards us with narrow images of success making many think their jobs fall short. But the work that feeds you, no matter what it is, merits huge respect.

We need to break down this story and honour the worth of all honest work.

Stand tall!

Work gives our lives shape and meaning, offering a chance to grow and improve.

From a skilled craftsperson's eye for detail to a caregiver's non-stop commitment, each role helps society run.

 Be proud of what you do!

Working, no matter what you do, is a key part of being human.

 You might sometimes think your job isn't fancy or high-status. But don't forget, it helps you live with self-respect and give back to your community.

 

Powerful sense of self-reliance & dignity

Having a job gives you a strong feeling of being self-reliant. When you make your own money, you get the freedom to take care of yourself and the people you care about.

 This money safety helps you feel proud and lets you decide things that affect your life.

A sense of self-worth and accomplishment

Work's worth goes beyond just paying the bills. It builds self-esteem and a feeling of achievement.

 When we fix issues learn new things, and team up with others to reach a shared goal, it shapes who we are.

 Doing a good job brings joy, taking pride in our work feels great, and bonding with workmates adds to a rich life.

All these things make our lives more complete.

Security and independence

It allows us to provide for ourselves and our families, fostering a sense of security and independence.

The Symphony of Society: Every Role Plays a Part

A man sweeping streets or transporting garbage are not as appreciated as CEOs, but their efforts keep diseases from spreading. What would people do if the offices and public utilities of the city’s sanitation department were removed? 

This feature of glamour would be replaced by the ordeal of life in this large city.

Some examples can be hospitals without nurses, or farms without farmers, which is impossible.

It means that the huge number of people with manifold occupations makes society work organism-like. 

The nurse who attends to the ailments of the sick, the educator who fosters the development of our children, the mason who puts up our structures and roads, the deliverer who brings our basic needs. 

Thus, whether the play is called ‘’Hamlet’’ or ‘’Henry V’, it is a significant part of that symphony of great and small puppet plays.

Often, the jobs deemed "unskilled" are the very ones that keep the world running

While such jobs may not necessarily need one to go to school for years, they call for personality, stamina, time consciousness and the ability to work with all strata of populations.

These make a comfortable and healthy life possible and are indispensable.

Thus, every job is a segment of a jigsaw that collectively forms the function that maintains the existence of society.

Beyond the Stereotypes: Redefining Respectability

There is social prejudice in society that relates the worth of an individual to the job description. Societal prejudice contributes to shame because of the occupations their members perform. Sometimes stems from classist thinking that believes that work that involves the use of one’s hands is more so associated with lower classes.

This view fails to capture the modern generation’s employment situation where most of the skilled technical professions pay better than desk jobs.

Besides, it reduces the worth of human muscles and vigour and overlooks strength, endurance and techniques.

Change in mindset contributes to a more respectful work culture:

Shift Your Perspective: It is again important that you change the way you look at your job. Replace the thoughts about the low positions’ underrating with the appreciation of the practical utility of such positions. Consider what you help, what you offer and what you help create on the general scale.

Find Your Passion Within Your Work: Try to locate the positive aspects that can bring happiness and contentment to the particular job. Maybe you are skilled in communication with the buyers, like the processes of the problem-solving part of the work, or the indication of partnership with the coworkers. Thus, attention must be paid to those aspects.

Surround Yourself with Supportive People: Develop relationships with people who have good things to say about people and their worth, there is no superior profession, and everyone deserves appreciation.

Embrace Continuous Learning: Understand the job you are in as a temporary situation. A person should continuously be willing to learn and hence should be ready to acquire new knowledge in different fields. This not only increases your worth to the employer but it also gives you the much-needed self-confidence when handling tasks.

Acknowledge the value of all professions: The next time you come across a person who performs a service, take time and thank him or her for the job done. Politely acknowledging the other person is also an important aspect of showing respect and nothing embarks more respect than a simple thank you.

Support vocational training: The youth must be encouraged to go for vocational education and training as an equally good and realistic form of employment.

Promote a work-life balance: Advocating for pay, work hours benefits access and job satisfaction can lead to a better quality of life in the workplace. 

Achieving a balance, between work and personal life often results in employees approaching their tasks with enthusiasm and concentration.

''Be proud of your job'' and  ''Celebrate all your work'' because 

''Our work is a part of who we are''

 it is the work you do to make money and help your family.

''Respect and esteem all professions''

Careers are not just a source of income but should also make you proud. Always bear in mind, that no profession is low in comparison to other ones, every job plays a part in the external world.

''You contribute to society''

Remember this and take pride in providing a respectable living for your family and positively impacting someone else's life.

People may dismiss your job, but every job you take on is a chance for something good in the world to be done.

The things you get to do are part of your identity, even if the job you do is not something you do for a long time. It is also proof of your character.

Be proud of your job, work hard, and make a difference.👍

The Path to Forgiveness

The Path to Forgiveness: Lighter Hearts, Lighter Lives Life is not always easy; unexpected turns of events frequently hurt, betray, and disappoint us.

 There's no way to avoid it. Marks of negativity crashing down on us with the pressure of continuing to forgive others do not excuse their acts.

Forgiveness is profound and transformational in ways that words cannot express. Forgiveness frees us of resentment, rage, and bitterness. It basically gives us back control of our emotional well-being, allowing for healing, growth, and, finally, inner peace.

Forgiveness is a purposeful decision to let go of all the baggage that weighs us down, such as anger, resentment, and negativity. This allows us to move on to the light of the heart. One liberates oneself from the emotional load and exposes oneself to other possibilities.

It does not erase the crime, nor does it absolve the culprit of culpability. It's just about letting go of the emotional baggage associated with the hurt.

Leaving the Past Behind

If we choose to hold onto our anger and bitterness, we become bound to our past. Forgiveness allows us to move forward in life. Forgiveness does not imply forgetting what was done, but rather not allowing it to define you or your future relationships. It frees us to heal and live in the present moment.

Forgiveness is a gift to ourselves, not to those who have mistreated us.

Keeping a lot of negativity in our brains and systems does not serve us well. It is about self-care rather than the one who hurt us. How can you love yourself if you are harbouring so much hatred?


Health Benefits of Forgiveness:


(1) Lower levels of depression and anxiety


(2) Less hostility


(3) Higher self-esteem


(4) More life satisfaction


Why forgiveness matters

Personal Liberation: Forgiveness frees one from the bonds of bitterness and hatred. This act allows one to feel free and restore their emotional well-being. It has a relaxing effect on our brains and spirits.

Improved Relationships: Forgiveness toward others promotes stronger relationships and elicits sentiments of empathy.

We must remember that forgiveness is not a submission to the other party's atrocities; rather, it is the result of actions of bravery motivated by self-compassion. When we forgive, we begin to let go of our past and make room for healing, love, and progress.


Let us go on this transforming path towards emotional liberation and a brighter, more compassionate society.

Remember that forgiveness is not about endorsing the offence; it is about freeing oneself.

It may appear simple, but it is a lifelong commitment. It requires consistent practice and an agreement with oneself to achieve self-awareness. Yes, there will be potholes in the road—times when forgiveness seems out of grasp, almost like a distant ideal.

But the important is to keep moving forward, acknowledging your efforts and applauding each step you take in that direction.

Non-Judgment

''Non-judgment: The Gateway to Inner Peace and Harmony''


Happiness is a state of being that everyone seems to be after, from across borders and cultures. However, how one reaches this mysterious state of happiness and fulfilment remains obscure for many.

"Do not judge and you will never be mistaken.".

Passing judgment on someone or something is certainly an inherent human tendency that many of us have. We all judge through acts and decisions made by people, be it appearances or options, typically arising from our experiences and attributes that we deem necessary. Furthermore, we go ahead to judge people or pick situations or even objects based on a meagre account of information out of what is being presented to us at that moment.

It provokes blocks in the mind, creates a feeling of superiority or inferiority, and ceases the person's capability to empathize; it breeds conflict and is, therefore, the negativity that spawns thoughts.

Working round the clock with the habit of judgment is this continuous fraying force inside of us; it is the tension it exerts on relationships with others.

We view everything in this world based on our own perspectives. More often than not, our judgments are honestly being tainted by our experiences and prejudices.

Requires less judgment and more of a perspective shift.

Replace judgment with curiosity.

Instead of jumping to conclusions, ask the question, "Why?"

Try to understand what is really motivating and the actual context in which an agent acts or decides.

Stop judging and let a thousand possibilities come rushing in. We see people differently and embrace the power of empathy and understanding as it brings the level of stress down, connects better, and makes one look at life more positively.

The judgement itself is succumbing:

What it really means is just becoming aware that you don't know everything indeed, far from it. But it's your choice not to harbour bad feelings or judgment against yourself for not knowing everything.

Judge Nothing:

When we really make a conscious choice not to judge other people, we free our minds and hearts from so much negativity.

We start our journey to understand by seeing the world through a window filled with awe and a sense of opportunity followed by a view that allows us to feel value in the natural beauty and complexity of something without necessarily anything attached or labelled concerning the phenomena of the experience.

Looking deeper than what meets the eye:

• That can be powerful reasoning for us to know more about the other and yet not judge.
• Instead of any conclusion or judgment being drawn immediately based on what one might be observing on the outside, consideration can be taken into the deeper motivations and reasons that are propelling him. 
• Surely, he can be having an inner struggle that remains invisible to us, or his behaviour can be because of the circumstance and environment in which he is trapped. 

This change of perspective is immense; it has empathy toward others and opens doors for better, more humane ways for us to come together with them.

Much more constructive dialogue becomes possible in a wide variety of contexts when we simply approach them with genuine inquiry rather than automatically seek to find something wrong. 

We learn to realize and accept what is wrong without necessary judgment of the situation itself. 

That would be quite a paradigm shift, one that might just make conversations of division into unity for a world that is less divided and more unified. Probably the most significant and applied application of the concept of judgment has to do with learning how not to be judgmental and to learn to be more forgiving toward oneself. 

We let our self-talk verge on abuse all too often, where we pound relentlessly on our failures, character defects, and so-called inadequacies. The attitude of non-judging gives us a chance to embrace our less glorious selves with a modicum of compassion to embrace our faults and imperfections in such a way that one can lead to internal peace. 

The most important building block of real happiness and well-being is self-acceptance. 

Life, of course, brings along its own set of struggles and hurdles that definitely do come across our path sometimes or the other in life. But the real test in life really manifests, when we are really trying in earnest practice this cardinal principle of non-judgment, and one tends to take a bit more in our stride with far greater resilience realizing some intrinsic peace and valuing the process in and of itself. 

True happiness is ultimately found deep inside of us. Fertile, rich soil is built by the open choice of not judging, whether that be ourselves or other people. Happiness itself grows into something that can be shared with others in one way. 

We are open to fully recognising and taking in life's richness. We are open to life in its massively wealthy form. So beautiful is it that, at times, it seems hard to take in. 😊

Inner Peace

Finding Inner Peace: The New Definition of Success.

For centuries, this has been the benchmark of success that was to be achieved for a human being: the trappings of titles to jobs, money in the bank, and, of course, material possessions.

 

But success per se is like the compass pointing north: it keeps getting revised, apart from the old definition of it. 

Today, our journey is being charted by another compass, that of the one from within. It doesn't mean that ambition goes with a faint or diminished spirit; rather, it means you've got to strike the balance between the desires of the world and the basic development of an inner oasis. 

Of course, life throws all kinds of problems or obstacles at you, but it is the growth of an inward state of peace that makes you glide through the mess with a sense of poise and balance as you cope with the difficulties of it all, let alone the thrills and spills life serves up with serenity, lucidity, and cool. You stay centred and balanced as the whole world turns topsy-turvy around you. 

Butterfly, the anchorage, though life may try to plunge one into the depths of unchartered and choppy waters. That's what great calm brings forth in a person: a stubborn kind of patience when facing storms, in fact coming out not just stronger but richer with experience from said storms.


How has inner peace become the new North Star of success?


The age of madness and the relentless chase after ambition, dictated by that almost cavalier disregard for one's own well-being, are over.

Beyond Materialism: The Dawn of a New Value Reality makes some quite compelling descriptions of how the world is changing and the concerns and priorities of one generation that have become very different over the years. 

It has gone on to affect concepts of work-life balance and mental health for generations, but above all, one can foster deep meaningful relationships. At the very heart of this fact lies a much deeper change in the conventional definition of success. 

Getting to achieve material possessions, people come to understand that inner peace ought to be born from the inside and is possible only if a person is holistic. 

On top of that, personal growth, mental well-being, and the concept of meaningful relationships are moved to the very front of what leading a good life looks like.

World Connectivity, Feeling Disconnected: The connectivity that globalization has brought into our lives is full of experiences, but at the same time, it has also initiated us to have a chance to witness negativity and comparison in performance from around the globe. Inner peace equips humans abundantly with emotional intelligence, which is important in manoeuvring challenges without pressure and envy.

How do we bring inner peace into daily life?

When one starts mindfulness practices, like meditation or breathing techniques, one observes the thoughts and feelings without any form of judgment or bias. 


Gratitude is the powerful practice that sets in moments to reflect consciously on appreciation of the many positive features of our lives, little or big in scale, that will redirect us away from what we do not have towards all the plenty that lies at our fingertips. 

It changes the way one sees the world and brings a sense of rest, a feeling of peace deep within the heart. 

Self-compassion means treating oneself exactly as one would treat a good friend with as much care and support as possible. One needs to let bygones be gone by forgiving oneself for all the wrong things done. 

That is said because your worth of being who you are is beyond your achievements and failures but in your uniqueness of soul at the core.

 Healthy relationships and work boundaries help save a lot of time and energy. 

All these taken together result in enabling a person to focus on the main crucial tasks, freeing an individual from stress and becoming calm at the end of a work-life state.


Nature Connectedness: When one is in a natural set-up it is quite a silent experience to be there. This makes one feel very replenished. If a human being can feel this stillness in a natural setup, then all the pressure and nervousness an individual experiences must be easily whisked off to give a person total relaxation. This contact finally leads to tranquillity and increased levels of well-being.

Chasing Your Passion: If we do something for which we have passion, it will fill our inner self with delight and satisfaction. It adds to the richness and energy within us and gives us some unexplainable feeling of great happiness, delight, and satisfaction. and fulfilment deep inside.

 Inner Peace is meaning, purpose, and contentment, It's an ongoing journey with ebbs and flows. Doubtless among those will be moments of stress and negativity, just as there will be those of profound peace and joy. Far from being a selfish pursuit, inner peace enables you to be there, patient, and loving in your relationships.

This inner peace endows one with the strength to face the blows of life and yet remain a source of strength and resilience to others who are weaker to face challenges. That is to mean, making a contribution toward the general good mission that human beings will have in this life—a better and more peaceful life.😊

The Introvert's Survival Guide

The Introvert's Survival Guide: How to Disappear Without Actually Disappearing

For our mental and emotional well-being sometimes, the desire to Find Your Quiet Space is perfectly normal. There are days, weeks, or certain phases of life when social interaction feels like the last thing we need.

 Maybe you're overwhelmed by daily stress, an introvert recharging after social overload, or simply seeking a quiet moment. Whatever the reason, mastering the art of avoiding people can be a valuable skill. 

The key lies in striking a balance between self-care and social courtesy.

 Here are some strategies to navigate those moments when you politely (or strategically) need to disappear, with a focus on healthy boundaries and self-care.

Understanding Your Reasons

The first step is introspection. Why do you want your Quiet Space? Identifying the root cause will help you tailor your avoidance strategy. Are you feeling overwhelmed, introverted, or simply craving some "me time"?

The Art of the Polite Decline:

Clear, straight and friendly way

 Let loved ones know you need some space. Phrases like "I'd love to chat, but I need some quiet time right now" 

The Direct but Friendly Approach 

"Hey, I'm not the right person to chat with right now. Maybe we can talk later?" 

The "Focus Time" Excuse

 "I need to focus on something right now, but let's grab coffee soon!" This sets a boundary while suggesting future interaction.

Strategic Scheduling

Planning your outings around quieter times can be a game-changer.

 Go to grocery stores at opening hours, generally very few people can afford to visit markets at opening hours.

Life revolves around routines. If you know a chatty neighbour likes to walk at dusk, consider taking yours out earlier or later. This isn't about living in fear, but about creating space for your own peace.

Embrace the Power of "No"

Don't feel obligated to attend every social gathering. It's okay to prioritize self-care. A simple "No, thank you" is a complete sentence.

Body Language

 Your body speaks volumes before you even utter a word. Keep your head down while walking, avoid eye contact in crowded spaces, or wear headphones (without blasting music) to signal you're unavailable. This isn't about appearing rude, but about creating a subtle barrier.

Find Your Quiet Havens

Seek out places that cater to solitude

Channel Your Inner Bookworm

Getting lost in a good book is a fantastic way to avoid people and recharge your mental batteries. Dive into a captivating story and let the world fade away.

Crafting Polite Excuses:

The Busy Bee: "I'm actually catching up with someone right now, maybe we can chat later?" This allows for a brief interaction while setting the stage for a future connection.

The Time-Crunched: "I'd love to chat, but I actually gotta run" is a classic escape route. Just be sure to follow through with a friendly wave or a smile.

The Future Planner: "Let's chat another time, things are a bit hectic right now" suggests you're open to future interactions, but not quite now.

Beyond Avoidance: Building a Healthy Social Life:

While avoiding people is sometimes necessary, complete social isolation isn't healthy in the long run.

 Here's how to strike a balance:

Focus on Quality, Not Quantity: Prioritize meaningful connections with a few close friends over large, overwhelming social gatherings.

Find Your Tribe: Seek out people who share your interests and understand your need for alone time.

Embrace Small Interactions: A friendly chat with a neighbour can fulfil your social needs without feeling overwhelmed.

You're Not Alone

Introverts and those who simply need alone time are not uncommon. Don't feel pressured to be constantly "on" or social. Embrace your need for solitude.

 Avoiding people isn't about being rude or anti-social. It's about managing your energy and respecting your need for solitude. Social connection is an essential human need. Avoiding people is a tool, not a lifestyle. Use it effectively to recharge and return to the world feeling refreshed and ready to connect. By prioritizing your well-being and setting healthy boundaries, you can find the perfect balance between social interaction and solitude.

Whispers from the Soul

  Whispers from the Soul: Unveiling Your Authentic Self

 It is a primary question of humanities, who we are? Life is an extremely expanded scroll. It is a process that begins from the time of our childhood to our adulthood. We walk through it and come across those events which define our experiences and perception of reality. 

 

 Personal development is an excellent and lifelong process in which we learn all about ourselves and become better people. It is more about stripping off the layers that form experience, the layers that form expectations, and the layers that society puts on us. 

This journey of self-awareness is done by reflections, this is the process of being reflective and being able to search within ourselves. 

 

 Personal growth is the process of building the lifestyle that fills the life of an individual. When we know better what we important to us, what drives us, and what makes us happy, we can choose, and act in response to our inner self. 

 Elements of self-discovery

 

 What keeps the fire going in you? 

 

 Which are the actions that make you feel you want to do more of them? 

Still, it is good to know what impacts you the most: what matters to you in this world? 

 

 Do you have any perceived strengths and how about your weakness? 

 

 What makes you happy in your life? 

 

 What are your fears and how do these affect you? 

 

 That gets me to ask such questions as: What do you consider to be your core values? 

 

 Most of the time, we never get to tap into our strengths and the things we enjoy doing in our free time. In other words, it is possible to dig these nuggets out from under a pile of work and perhaps, reignite the passion that was once there. 

 

 Relationships and especially the role they play in the discovery of oneself. 

 How do you come into contact with the rest of humanity?

 

 The kind of connections the above theorists have sought, differ as depicted by the following classification. 

 It is quite beneficial to critically think about one’s interactions with other people in one’s life. Think about the characteristics that you expect in people around you. Are they your values or, on the contrary, do they reveal your personal potent desires? 

 Reflect on your conflicts, what makes you angry in terms of interactions? 

 

 Analyzing one’s relational patterns affords important information concerning one’s needs and ways of relating to other people. 

 

 The process of writing or keeping a diary, practising mindfulness and getting in touch with one’s inner self through being out in nature are all ways of introspection. 

One can easily argue that introspection is the means through which we go into the details of inner life.

Perhaps it should be mentioned that the process of self-realization takes a lifetime. When we commit our time and energy to these endeavors, we therefore revive the objective of living a more genuine or meaningful life. The person may decide to embrace their doubts and take pleasure in every characteristic that makes them unique.

 

 It is also important to be aware that while you are discovering who you are your values and wants may change. Leading yourself with this tool of introspection, you can still keep on unpacking the map of the self and discover the wonderful self that lies within. And embracing oneself is more important than being flawless to win others' acceptance. 

It’s a notion that never ends and is always ongoing: there is no countdown for self-discovery. 

 Accept this as a new change and be ready to make certain adjustments in your lifestyle. 😊
