My Takeaways from 'Atomic Habits'!

My Takeaways from ‘Atomic Habits’!

A guide to ‘Self-Improvement’ I’m quite late in joining the bandwagon of illuminated folks who have already read, admired and might be already implementing the laws in the book “Atomic Habits” by James Clear to become a better version of themselves. There’s absolutely no denying the fact that the remarkable aspect of this book is how extremely relatable and relevant the author is right from the…

With work overload and stress levels enormously high both at home and at work, the tendency of ours has become to be in a bitter sweet and often irritable mood all day everyday.

Let’s try to find a ray of hope and positivity amidst the deadly pandemic!

I have been ransacking my brain for a while as to what should I write about. It gets even more hard to focus on anything while the entire world and my own country battles the deadly COVID-19 with no respite whatsoever. Even though all we can hear and see is anguish and people loosing their loved ones everywhere, I have finally settled down on the decision that no matter how tough it’s going to…

First four words you see are your focus for 2021

It’s been more than a week since 2021 began. Many social media influencers this year suggested that we should develop habits instead of goals as resolutions.

COFFEE WILL ALWAYS BE MY FIRST & TRUE LOVE

COFFEE WILL ALWAYS BE MY FIRST & TRUE LOVE

Cafe Latte @ Theobroma Chembur

I barely remember when I started drinking coffee though I do clearly remember how my fondness for it grew. I am undecided as to whether to blame or praise my one year IES coaching sojourn in New Delhi; but the coffeeholic me was born there. What drove me to it, it’s difficult to fathom; I for sure ended up enjoying a variety of coffee at a variety of cafes and…

I am not a foodie in true sense. Why do I say so? Well, if you ask me an honest assessment of myself with regards to exploring food across cultures and places….I have so far developed a peculiar taste and like for certain kind of foods only. I do have a fairly good idea of the…

Today I will remember to…

1. Think well of myself.

2. Remember how far I have already come.

3. Refuse to ruminate over past mistakes or failures.

4. Refuse to get pulled down by others’ negativity.

5. Enjoy life’s little pleasures – like flowers and sunrises. 6. Be present in “this moment”. 7. Breathe, relax, and smile.
