Stress Buster Tip # 1 - Have you ever heard of Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), also known as Tapping?

  The underlying principle of Emotional Freedom Technique or EFT is that all emotions and thoughts are forms of energy; this energy, whether positive or negative, has very real physical manifestations that affect all functions of the body.   T he concept of EFT can also be explained as combining acupressure with talking therapy. It involves tapping along the end points of “energy meridians” located around the body in order to reduce tension and promote a deeper mind-body connection. The specific points used for tapping promote physical and emotional healing. This is typically combined with speaking out the emotions that are being experienced by the person at the time. These could be either in conjunction with a past situation or right there in the moment of feeling a certain negative emotion.

YOLO! You Only Live Once!

When was the last time you took a conscious break from work and really enjoyed your time off?  The truth is so many of us are so wrapped up in checking the right boxes as soon as we graduate from University and start working, that we forget life is meant to be enjoyed as well. We make so many sacrifices to reach goals outside of ourselves, we sometimes forget the more meaningful aspects of life.   Life gives us names, designations, responsibilities, roles to play; however, we forget we are also individuals with our own identities. And some where along the way aspects of our own individual goals and individuality get lost.   Yes, life takes over. Some days will seem more overwhelming than others. Other priorities come into play.   Perhaps, we can’t take those leisurely two hours off to ourselves every day or week even. However, we can take off short periods of time to begin with. 🌻 If you can no longer do that hour long workout you used to, take 20 minutes out every other day for yours

Have you ever felt that your career has derailed other aspects of your life? Your personal relationships? Your health? How many of us give equal importance to all areas of our lives?  The question is – have we actually even sat down and divided our life into meaningful areas?   There are a lot of questions right here in this post. But that's just the thing. We don’t ask ourselves enough questions. Life is usually divided in to two parts – Professional and Personal. Maybe some of us sub divide the Professional part into Career and Finances. But I’m pretty damn sure there’s little or no thought given to what goes into the “Personal” bucket. Yes, some of us have goals – job, car, family, house, travel (perhaps) and the list could go, but I’m not sure it actually does go on.   How important is your health to you? Does it go into your list of goals – if it does, kudos to you. Yes, I know, there’s growing importance to one’s own health (especially nowadays and I AM rolling my eyes here);

Your Now is Not Your Forever

    How many times have we had the feeling that the situation we’re in is never going to end? We’re never going to stop feeling so miserable, so stressed or so anxious. In the current circumstances, despite of which part of the globe you’re in, most of us have at some point felt that this lockdown, this feeling of being stuck in our own homes is never going to end.   Everyone goes through this at some point in time or the other in their lives. While we’re students, while were young, stressed out working professionals, while we’re anxious parents to young toddlers going through sleep regression right through to your kids’ teenage years; you get my drift - it simply seems never ending!     Well the reality is that life is not static, it is ever changing as are us human beings. However, while we’re in that moment, we don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. We can’t find the silver lining to that cloud or the lesson to that experience; it seems impossible.   That's what happened
