RAISE AN INSPIRATION - Part 2

Every parent has a story, a story of how they have raised or are raising their children. Stories that are exonerated and free of prejudices. Deep down we all know that our stories are metastasized and dribbling with bias. The fact of the matter is that it is not about your stories, stories have a lot of angles, intersections and disparities. Create anecdotes!! Anecdotes help you ruminate and capture those moments, those nitty-gritty details which failed to fit in your story. As parents we come face to face with a narrative that is going to be so different from your story. Some anecdotes will help you face reality. 



The unspoken words of your child, the body language which was craving for your attention, the tantrums in front of your esteemed guests was not disrespect, tugging at your designer outfit was not discourteous, lying about the broken china was not perjury, interrupting your interesting conversation over the phone or heckle your favorite TV show was not uncivilized, the list is endless. Now you can reminisce about all those instances which you failed to mention in your story. How you wish you could just clock the time backwards, go back in time and ask them what they actually wanted to express. 


Parents need to refine and sift their experiences so that they can keep a track of all the hits and misses. That’s what we all commonly refer to as mindful parenting. Isn't it? These nuances in your parenting will open a portal which will bridge gaps between you and your children today and for all days to come.

RAISE AN INSPIRATION - Part 1

The malignant and burlesque nature of society and the way it works around raising children comes from a duel between preserving norms and adopting modernity. Volumes have been written on raising children and how parents need to balance it out. I am not going to give ten tips to follow to raise a child in a perfect and healthy environment.  I am going to highlight only two layman terms here.  One aspect which needs to be realised by parents is that a healthy environment is possible when you have a healthy mind. Parents are adults who are being challenged by their immediate environment and society at every step. You are expected to steer clear and reach the next step, so on and so forth while you are parenting.  All at the same time. Erratic decisions and thoughts are formed in the mind when one has too much on the plate. Children tend to become soft targets during these weak moments. They have absolutely no idea what’s happening with you so they go about their usual tantru...

EFFECTS OF POSITIVE THINKING

The greatest obstacle to solving problems is the belief that you cannot solve them. Self-doubt makes people afraid to stand up to their problems. But the truth is when you do stand up to your difficulties, very often your difficulties will no longer stand up to you. By having a positive attitude and optimism, you will not only have a positive impact on people’s lives by constantly looking for ways and means to bring the GOOD on the surface through everything you do, but there will be a positive impact on the world we all live in. Remember that you cannot help one person without helping yourself. Positive thinking is so relaxing. There is no strain or stress when one is thinking positively. The negative vibes around us come from trying to be someone we aren't. One remarkable if the seldom remarked benefit of positive energy is that it makes kinsmen out of strangers. It unites kingdoms, settles wars, links cultures, and forges bonds that otherwise are all but impossible. When we thin...
