Fasting has many physical and mental benefits for me and that is why it is part of my Quest For Me. I share my best practices and learning lessons with you so you can evaluate whether it its something that you might want to experiment with.
Life happens to us, but it does not have to happen for us. We need to look for the opportunities, even if they seem hard to find. An inspiring live speech by TED speaker Janine Shepherd has inspired me to bring you this episode along with some wonderful tools she shared that help us look for the gift in every moment, no matter how difficult.
Sometimes our career paths take huge turns. Mark went from photography to chaplaincy and speaks about he applies intuition and creativity in his work with the dying. In this intimate and wide-ranging conversation, we touch on important topics, such as mindfulness, the importance of daily rituals, support groups, and the quest for your voice and for sharing your story.
Join me for a powerful and touching conversation that will make you dig for your own story.
During this time of year – Thanksgiving and Christmas, I like to consciously think about what I am thankful for. I am sharing 3 key aspects of my life that I cannot live without. As you listen, I encourage you to reflect on these same areas of your life and see if you can find gratitude for them. And if that is challenging, then it could be an indicator that it might be time to change a few things. Happy Thanksgiving.
Have you ever taken the time to see where your time goes? We waste time when we don’t consciously spend our time on the things that matter. As we are heading towards the end of yet another year, and another set of New Years resolutions, I recommend taking some stock to check in with ourselves. If we are not spending our time on the things that fulfill us, then we don’t need to set more goals. Lets focus on the quality of our time spend rather than on the things we achieved.
An interactive presentation on the impact that change can have on our potential.
– Begin to notice change – from within you and around you
– Accept that change is part of life
– Understand the changes that are calling on you to be taken
– Walk away ready to take a new step
Meet my friend Bipin, author of a beautiful collection of short stories titled Notes of a Mediocre Man. We talked about Bipin’s journey from India to America, touching on topics I as an immigrant relate to as well – loss of home, searching for a new home and forging a new path in a new country. Finally, and after many years of sacrifice, Bipin successfully transitioned from corporate America into his passion of writing, a life that is not without its own challenges. Bipin’s life and stories greatly inspire me and I hope you find this interview just as enlightening.
Just because the end of the year is near, doesn’t mean your goals have to wait until next year. Even if you tried and failed, you can try again. In this episode I encourage you to take the smallest step you can think of. As long as you are doing something, you are are inching your way closer to success than if you do nothing at all.
The people I like are people that I am drawn to because they live the actions, behaviors and words that I also want to live. I look up to them because they set the example for the kind of person I want to be. And those are the people we should surround ourselves with. By spending time with the people we like, we become more like them.
Does it seem challenging to find an inner connection with ourselves? Our world can be noisy, overwhelming and distracting.
Yet, the direction for our life comes from within us.
