Self-care means taking the time to do things that help you live well and improve both your physical health and mental health. When it comes to your mental health, self-care can help you manage stress, lower your risk of illness, and increase your energy. Our founder Jyotika Bedi discusses how to take care of ourselves best!

A good leader should have integrity, self-awareness, courage, respect, empathy, and gratitude. They should be learning agile and flex their influence while communicating and delegating effectively. Jyotika and Sandeep discuss how these key leadership qualities can be learned and improved at all levels of your organization.

Finding purpose in life is one of those things that most people want. Whether we know it or not. As nice as it sounds, it can seem challenging to attain.

If you haven't spent a lot of time thinking about your own purpose, you might have some preconceived ideas about the purpose of life. These baked-in ideas about life often come from our family and the communities we grow up in. The purpose of our life is to get married and have kids. Or, maybe it's earning a certain amount of money or achieving a certain position in society.

But these types of achievements often don’t bring the kind of fulfillment that comes with finding your personal sense of purpose. A personal sense of purpose is less of a specific end goal and more of an ongoing impact on the world, large or small. Purpose is your why.

In the business world, you have a CEO, CFO, Marketing Director, Sales managers, human resource officers and a host of assistants and lackey personnel to do the grunt work. This pecking order is essential to make sure that responsibilities are divided equally, that everyone has a specific responsibility and that duties are performed with precision. If the pecking order becomes askew, businesses can fail.

Interestingly, in a family we don’t give names or have such a strict structure in place. At least not obviously. Saying that one person is the boss, or one person is in charge of the family would definitely put a damper on the interpersonal relationships. After all, within a family we strive for equality and mutual respect. The reality however, is that each person within every family DOES have a specific role. And while the boundaries or descriptions may be ‘lightly defined’ or even not spoke allowed – there likely is a boss.

This begs to ask the question, “Who is the boss in your family?” And more importantly, should there be a boss? Or does one person taking control throw off the balance of mutual respect and equality in a family?

Forgiveness means that we release our suffering over difficult situations; it does not mean we have to put ourselves back into hurtful situations. Forgiveness means that even though what happened is not okay, you can move on and make peace for yourself.

The reason why empathy is so important is that it helps us better understand how others are feeling, and even feel it in ourselves. It helps us maintain relationships and plays a role in dictating our success in both personal and professional relationships. Jyotika bedi gets into a fun chat with her parents on how empathy is learnt at home in families and how can we better teach empathy to our next generation!

While parenting is an amazing experience, it is also quite hard. From temper tantrums to sleepless nights, parenthood is a challenge. But did you ever wonder about the parents who (seemingly) rise to the occasion without effort? Who are happy and poised and put-together, through and through? Well, it turns out many of them implement certain strategies—or secrets—to keep them sane.

Why is it important to teach self-love to children?

Not having any models for self-love or not having anyone teach children the importance of being good to themselves while growing up can make them question its value. Without it, children may fall into people-pleasing habits and be more likely to put up with mistreatment and abuse from others. As parents, teaching self-love to your kids allows them to set their boundaries, fulfill their goals, and create healthy relationships with the people around them.

The most important pillar of wellness is Self love. Self-love is important because it motivates much of our positive behavior while reducing harmful behavior. It both empowers us to take risks and to say no to things that don't work for us. It's a key component of building self-compassion. Self-love helps us take care of ourselves, lower stress, and strive for success.

Are you feeling stuck and disconnected in your relationship? Perhaps you feel like you’re making all the effort but getting nothing in return? Relationships go through all ups and downs. If you’re not on the same page in the relationship, though, don’t panic just yet.

We all dream of that Hollywood romance where we are in perfect harmony with our partners. It’s not just that we want to be on the same page about how we live our lives. We also have the same vision about the future, and we never seem to argue. Is that realistic, though?

Lets talk about it.

I have been married to the man of my dreams for 20 years and today I’m in conversation with him.
