Worry causes stress and anxiety leading to an imbalance of the mind body and spirit and blockage to the energy system.
The best way to overcome worry is to accept that all of us are faced with difficulties and setbacks in our lives. How we respond to them determines how we ultimately lead our lives.
If you choose to respond negatively by getting upset and anxious towards one of life’s setbacks you have chosen to damage the balance of your mind body and spirit.
If you respond positively by accepting the setback as an opportunity to learn you can live a happier and more fulfilling life.
“Just for today I will earn my living with honesty”
What does this really mean?
My career reinvention success factor keeps revolving around being my most or best authentic self !
By adopting these concepts you will not only add balance but also life giving force energy back to yourself.
Each Reiki principle begins with “Just for today.”
Honesty means different things to different people. Many people feel it is fine to take home a few pens from the office, the company turn over millions in profit each year so they can afford to lose a few items of stationery.
While another person will judge the same incident as an act of theft and believe that anyone found stealing stationery should be dismissed and charged with theft and even prosecuted.
Everyone at some point is dishonest. You may not steal from another person or company, but instead steal from yourself.
For example if you a have a talent to help people and you choose not to then you are stealing from yourself by denying your gift.
You are also stealing from the people who could benefit from your talents. I wasting my time on meaningless pursuits such as watching television for hours each day and that was stealing from my sacred and special time on Earth.
Try to live your life to the best of your ability as authentically and honestly as you can. Honesty lives inside of you and doesn’t care about being placed where others can view it.
Finally, in your pursuit of a happier life I urge you to encapsulate the words from Michael Landon (the father in the television series “Little house on the Prairie”) in his last interview before he died prematurely of cancer. He urged us to “Live Every Second”.
Here is a story of a Corporate mom who came to me initially when I had setup my counselling practice and then undertook Reiki practitioner course for her own emotional awareness and raise her level of socially being aware of her kids emotions.
I share the truth about the emotional baggages and unfulfilled dreams that parents hold back and how they are unaware of it at a deep subconscious level keeping them in a victim mindset or comfort zone. Yes, for sure Mom’s have a care giving attitude and it is natural to be over protective about their kids but it is certainly not a way to remain in ignorance as far as their emotions are concerned.
Her name was Raji and she told me she couldn’t bear the changes that her son was going through and he was misbehaving with her a certain way and it will never happen that he might listen to her in this lifetime! She said , “I think his behaviour bothers me much all the time”.
How I proved her wrong?
When we digged further, her deep rooted beliefs and her unhappiness about leaving her job for taking care of her family and raising her kids and she had gotten too much involved into his matters . He was growing into a teenager and had his own emotional needs however she was too obsessed about his habits and him being unorganised at home and constantly comparing her studious daughter and her unruly son !
I asked her some powerful questions – and she said her health was deteriorating and she wanted to let out her personal grievances one by one.
The truth was she was going through a mid life crisis and hormonal imbalances and once women get signals from the body -they kinda trigger emotions and cause inner turbulences, however women typically attribute t to their kids and house hold members…She had tried meditation and various other techniques but couldn’t focus much.

This is exactly where I come in as my role as a spiritual change catalyst and emotional intelligence facilitator and helped her understand her own emotional state and once she was able to bring awareness around her emotions and watch her behaviours and thoughts -they would shift her perspective about her son.
She had one of her breakthroughs her belief systems once she did Reiki and shared me her observations about her thoughts and feelings and decided to take full responsibility for herself. She became more understanding towards her son especially and tried not to compare too much.
She started on a daily routine and included self care and goals setting into her lifestyle design ! She messaged me one fine day and told me she undertook “Art of Living” course and was much more at peace and balanced state of mind.She also invested in her self care by spending more time with kids and tutoring other kids.
Will you fuel your anger or frustration or raise awareness on your emotions and beliefs ? Have you heard or been there in such a similar situation? Let me know here.
Who ever thought dreams can make you insomniac, like literally insomniac? Thousands of questions and doubts in our hearts, we take a leap of faith just to find the internal contentment. But sometimes, we just become too hard on ourselves. We forget that we have our limitations. The burden of dreams is like carrying an entire world on your shoulders. You must let that warrior inside you rest for a bit.
Not a long time ago, I was interviewing Lopamudra Banerjee, an entrepreneur, and a fitness coach. As soon as I made the announcement, I received a flood of messages in my inbox for Lopa to share her entrepreneurial journey. She is one brave soul. But I will tell you why this interview was a lot unique then what we see all the time. Lopa gave us all something to think about. From a sales professional to a personal fitness coach turned health entrepreneur, her journey says a lot about what happens when you choose to not take a break. Meanwhile, we hear people talking about breaking your limits and giving up everything for your goals, she shared the darker aspect of dreaming and overdoing things.
So, as per my rendezvous with Lopa, I will tell you what I have learned about the dreams and working too hard on yourself. Also, please do visit my Instagram page to find my interview with Lopa, and don’t forget to comment and share your thoughts on dreams. Also, please feel free to share your experience and how you found your warrior spirit.
Phase One: Opportunity knocks
When opportunity knocks our doors, what a time of merriment it is. You are filled with a reviving energy and you are ready to take the world down. But have you planned things the right way? Planning is an essential part of any journey. Do you just take a vacation to a place unknown without even checking the weather of the place? No, everything that we do, requires planning. Deep down we know going without plan is a lot adventurous and we all want to feel the thrill. But a smart person will always be prepared beforehand, so that when the weather is all stormy, they have a safe shelter.
Phase Two: Nobody tells it is going to be stressful
The actual story begins in phase two. Meanwhile, it is great that you are following your dreams, but the stress is just going to take a toll on your mind and body. It is going to break you and will make you feel helpless. If you are young your body will support you longer in the journey, but eventually depriving it of the needful rest, fun, and peace, you will notice your will starts to wither. The worst part is, you lose the quality at which you were always performing.
For many of us, it is important to give our 100% in whatever we do. But when you face work overload, are you still sure you will be able to keep up the quality? For any person quality is something which we all want to achieve. I am one of those people. Lopa is one of those people. You might be too.
It is essential in these times that we understand our limitations. We have to reinstate the lost balance. Sometimes, in the hurry to catch up with your dreams we leave behind the beautiful moments. We compromise our time with family to work hard. And in the end, we have to make do with whatever little connections are left with our loved ones.
Just like our body, the mind needs to rest too. But how to do that? It is constantly thinking, calculating your next move. Are things in your control when you are already juggling thousands of things at a time. In my conversation with Lopa ,I understood how badly restless she was while managing her growing business. It got her worried when a client did not get the results she promised. Though she never lost the business, it was too bad for her self-esteem.
As a result, things start to fall apart. Brick by brick you are back to square one with the burden of broken dreams. You must realize the importance of rejuvenating yourself. Resting your mind. Investing your time in knowing your limits and realizing when you are overdoing it. Empires aren’t formed in days or months, they take years. When we increase our pace, we forget we don’t have the energy to do it all ourselves. And also, you don’t have the resources to manage it.
Phase Three: Rejuvenating and Restarting Again
You don’t have to give up on your dreams. Take some time out of work and start working on your peace of mind. In the end, don’t forget you wanted to achieve this all to attain a great degree of self-contentment.
Understand where things are going wrong. Make a list of things that you will like to change from the last time. Start working on them. Choose wisely what and how much you want to work. Work exclusive if necessary. In the end entrepreneurship, job or business are not just about money, they are about gaining that expert badge.
