My first post – and why it was important to do this!

Okay, here we go! My first step towards a dream I have been cherishing for many years, but never found the resilience to follow through and see it until fruition. My mind was full of doubts – what do I write about? why would anyone be interested in what I have to say? do I even have anything to share that would be different from what millions out there have already spoken about? These thoughts were so draining that I did not have the energy to fight and look past them. So I chose the easy way out and forgot about it!

So what changed then?

Over the last few years, consciously or unconsciously, I started ‘growing up’. (I am in my early 30s, so I definitely don’t mean physically :D) What I mean is that I found myself being more aware of my thoughts, I made efforts to keep the negative ones aside and focus on the brighter side of things, I started to be so much more grateful for what I have than I ever was. This shift in me naturally started to reflect in other areas of my life – the kind of books I read, the music/podcasts that I listened to, daily journaling, yoga and meditation, eating healthy (mostly :P), self care and many others. And thus started my own personal journey of what I call ‘Wholistic Mindfulness’. It is the kind that is focused on the inside AND outside.

What this has brought into my life is a sense of calm and optimism I have never felt before. The kind that lets you believe that there is a purpose and you just need to trust the process. Pouring my thoughts and feelings out now feels like such a gradual and organic progression in this journey. What I now know is that I want to tell the world about MY journey, because it is unique and there can be no one else who has written about this already 🙂

Keeping that light on..

Some of you may be familiar with this tiny little fire inside of you that never goes away. It reminds you every now and then that your true joy lies some place that you are yet to explore. I owe this to that tiny fire that I call my ‘light’. Turns out I was able to only forget about that ‘light’ but was never able to completely extinguish it. So here I am, giving it a purpose, just like everything else in life. And that is why this first post is so special and important!

For those reading this, a big thank you! It is this love that I know will keep me going and I will sincerely try to keep this worth your time.
