Terrific! I recognize your method of alerting yourself ahead of time, knowing you are going to respond to something in a certain way, which actually serves to diminish or allay that response. Great to meet someone who is using her own life experiences to demonstrate mindfulness!

Wonderfully written Anu. The fact that true divinity lies within us and we are able to become god like by cultivating good qualities was a game changer for me in my journey. I love this quote by Swami Vivekananda that “spirituality is nothing but the manifestation of divinity ALREADY within us “.

Thank you for sharing your profound thoughts on this . As always! Keep inspiring

Thanks, Madhu. Thanks for sharing that lovely quote. I was not aware. It’s so optimistic and so empowering! You should also start writing.

Very well written Anu ji. One of the best things about this journey is that the realization of impermanence which helps take the edge off the so called unpleasant experiences and helps get us out of that very thought loop that you described. Thanks a bunch!!

Thank you, Amit! So true—it’s all Maya and the ups are sure to follow. It really helps see the glass half full.
