My Morning Ritual

 I enjoy the peaceful time of dawn, when the world is still dark. 

My day starts with the simple habit of making ginger tea, its aroma rising in the cool air as I sit facing east. I leave my window slightly open to let in fresh air as I hold the warm cup, feeling its heat in my hands and spirit, a comforting treat after an early dinner. 

The soft, cool air on my skin refreshes my body and senses as I drink; I read a non-fiction book, organizing my thoughts and plans for the day, ready to work toward my goals with clear focus.

As sunlight spreads across the sky, birds sing their morning songs, and my garden comes alive. This change fills me with warmth and gratitude, reminding me to smile and appreciate nature's beauty.

What rituals bring you calm as you greet the morning? I invite you to pause and consider how your own early routines shape your mindset and prepare you for what lies ahead.

The Power of a Smile

Just yesterday while grocery shopping, I came across a person who was nasty and rude. Initially I was very confused and hurt. Did not understand why. 

Below is my take on how to deal with such people.

Man is known to be a social animal. Thus, wanna socialize but, when someone is rude to him, he will tend to get upset, frustrated or react back quickly with that same attitude.

Very rarely would he pause and feel the pain of the other person. 

Ego's come in between and we tend to play the blame game. 

Ponder upon

Losing temper over the person who was rude to you...Will that help YOU in the long run? 

Will it give YOU peace of mind by being disrespectful to him? 

Infact, it will just make YOU uncomfortable and hurt YOU more.

What are the options?

SMILE

This smile will help you digest the disrespectful behavior and you will be proud of yourself when you remember this episode. 

Mantra for today: Reactions made in haste are always injurious to one's health.

How to be an Amazing Person?

We should be surrounded by some simple adjectives that can help magnify our personality and also accentuate our inner self.

Some simple traits, which could make an everlasting impression:

• To Listen--lend your ear to your friends and family members.
• Be considerate-try not to judge them when they are speaking their heart out.
• Give options-they are in a difficult state of mind and must be puzzled. Do not impose your thoughts on them instead, give them options.
• Depart with a smile or a hug--that always assures them that you were delighted to help them out and not obliged.
•  Keep in touch--try to contact them every now and inquire about their status.

Rule of the world: People flock where there is happiness.

Unfortunately, nothing is constant. Today if that person is happy, there will he sorrow surrounding him tomorrow.

Stick to your principles and be an exception.

Break the rules and be near those friends or family members who are in utmost need of emotional caring. They will cherish those memories of you when you were sticking to them during hard times rather than joining in with their laughter's.

Mantra for today: Nothing is permanent
