𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲…

This has become my belief from my experience, and over the years I have also learnt that consciously choosing who and what you spend your time on will have its own effects - often on your relations with people.

As an introvert, I find it hard to make myself constantly available, to keep up with social plans, or to even maintain relations with those that I’m fond of. It’s a hard thing to explain, but introverts gain a lot of their peace from just being by themselves. And it is this quest for solitude that comes with a lot of goodbyes …

But I also know this - that it’s not just an introvert thing. Consciously detaching from things (or people) that add chaos to your life has consequences even for those who are extroverts by nature. Every choice in life has an effect, or as I would like to call it - collateral damage. Yes, even peace.

Gaslighting is a dangerous form of emotional abuse, but people have started to use this term very casually and incorrectly!
Here’s what it really means …

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗮 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 …. 𝗟𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝗼 𝗢𝗳 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗧𝗼 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹.

Growing up in a world filled with instant gratification has ruined us, and constantly makes us want to see the fruit when we have barely even sown the seed.
It takes nothing for us to be convinced that life is unfair, or that we aren’t doing our best. We blame the world if not ourselves, and are quick to jump to conclusions about our life going ‘wrong’.

But more often than not, these feelings stem from us being desperate, or in a hurry, or wanting to be in control. There’s an unwillingness to accept any pace that doesn’t go in accordance with what we feel we deserve, or think is right for us.
And here comes the lesson - because whether we like it or not, we have to let go and surrender to the flow of what life has in store for us. We are never in control, and never really were.

We often forget that we too are a part of nature. A part of that system that trusts a higher intelligence and thrives because of it.
And so, when I struggle to let go of my need to control a situation or outcome, I go back to observing the ways of nature. The best teacher in the art of 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀💚

“𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂 - 𝗺𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗳 𝘀𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗜 𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺!”

I was quite taken aback when I heard these words from my friend who was clearly being bullied by both of his children, and struggling to discipline them while they continued to pretty much destroy everything at the cafe that we were sitting at.

”𝗜 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗡𝗢!”…he continued.
Something about this approach made no sense to me, especially taking into consideration the fact that I have grown up in a time where being scolded by your parents if you misbehaved was both normal and expected.

But I’m no child psychologist, nor a modern day parent, and so I thought I should use this as a chance to learn more about this conscious parenting thing. One conversation with my friend (a parenting coach) later - I learnt a whole universe of things that I didn’t know of, including what conscious parenting is actually supposed to be about.

This post is a result of that conversation, and if you’re a parent or on your way to being one, I hope this helps!

It’s been a hectic few weeks for me, but I’m glad I managed to find small moments to just pause, catch my breath, and appreciate the smaller joys of life.
It really is a conscious effort that one has to make to slow down and pay attention to those little moments of calm or happiness!
Shift what you pay attention to and watch your energy shift to align with it ✨
I would love to know what little things you find joy in! Leave a comment 😊

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝗜 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝗮 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺? is a question I found me asking myself a couple of months back, when I was feeling extremely low about a post that I had worked really hard on only to see zero engagement.

This was not something I was used to - not because of anything other than the fact that I had never really cared much about social media to start with. And that’s exactly when I realised that I too had succumbed - to the validation trap that these platforms suck you into. 𝗜 𝗸𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 - 𝗜 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗺𝘆 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. So I drew up a plan:

1️⃣ To revisit every post on my page and consciously feel proud of each piece of content - irrespective of the numbers.
2️⃣ Re-training my brain to gain joy from the act of doing and learning, as opposed to seeing them as chores. So that meant enjoying the research, the scripting, the filming, and every little step of the final product.
3️⃣ Trying to detach from seeing the engagement (still working on this one to be honest) and just feeling happiness at the final outcome being a creation of my team and myself.
4️⃣ Constantly reminding myself that even if 1 person learns something from the content piece, I’ll consider my job well done.

I’ll also say this - it hasn’t been easy to change my whole approach to my work, but it has surely been worth the effort. I’m not demoralised when I see the digit 0 for sure, and I’m definitely more proud of my team, myself, and our work, than ever before. I refuse to let some algorithm dictate my mood and my sense of self-worth. Here’s hoping that this post pushes you to do the same 😊

1️⃣ 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗢𝗻𝗲: It’s going to look so “boring” - and that’s the entire point. You’ll realise how much visual stimulation you are used to in general on a daily basis, and it should be your wake up call in terms of realising how something so unhealthy has become your “normal”. 📲😵‍💫

2️⃣ 𝗔 𝗙𝗲𝘄 𝗗𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗟𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿: You’ll notice that your urge to pick up your phone has decreased - and this is a massive win. It will also make you more aware of just how many times you pick up your phone to check something even when it’s absolutely not needed. Watch your screen time drop and your focus levels increase! 🤳❌

3️⃣ 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗕𝗼𝗻𝘂𝘀: Your eyes will definitely feel less strained and tired by the end of the day. 👀✅

4️⃣ 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹: In this stage, you’ll be so used to grayscale that when you see a “normal” screen, it will overwhelm you! 🧟‍♀️
Congratulations, because you’ve finally managed to break away from the system and not be a slave to the cons of the digital era. 🙌🏻

5️⃣ 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲, 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀: You’re officially a pro when you start seeing how much more time and focus you have simply because you did this one hack that stopped your brain from being fried and your time from being wasted on a device! ⏳🧠

In addition to this - there’s a few more simple hacks that you can do to reset your device visuals and stay less distracted. Watch out for our next video to know about them!

𝗗𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 / 𝗟𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗢𝗳 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀. 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀. 𝗔𝗻𝘅𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘆. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘁.
The rise in the use of these terms can be directly attributed to the rise of the digital era. 📱
And while there are many aspects that are fueling these issues such as social media, toxic work cultures, etc., a large and less spoken of aspect of this problem is the way our devices and apps are designed. They are designed to keep us hooked and distracted 😵‍💫

𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲...
👉🏻Our attention spans have shortened dramatically because at a very basic level - we are so used to being overly visually engaged even by just looking at our bright and colour filled screens. Anything duller seems boring instead of normal.
Yes, that’s also why reels and shorts were introduced by social media platforms - to keep up with the distracted state of mind that your device has already put you into with its colour overload.

👉🏻We are becoming addicted to our devices even when we don’t really need to use them - because the stimulating nature of the colours is like an easy dopamine hit for the brain in the immediate moment - but the long term impact of this addiction is simply not worth it. Our screen time hours are burning our brains in so many other ways.

𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗺.
We don’t have to be slaves to our devices, and in fact we can control how addictive we want them to be! Stay tuned to our page to learn more about this.
