Today's podcast is inspired by the recent video I saw on youtube of Deepak Chopra for Fintec Festival Singapore 2020. Deepak mentioned about the 7 pillars of personal well being. I immediately noted each one down and did a little research on them.

I want to share these 7 pillars of well being. Because I feel due to the pandemic we all have realised how important it is to take care of ourselves and well being.

There are so many steps available online when it comes to success, motivation, confidence, goal setting, goal achievement, time management financial freedom, better collaboration, better socialization and more.

But the base of all this is our self we need to focus on our personal well being. We need to erect strong pillars concerning our wellbeing which is the core of all the outer achievements. Hence before you start working on your goals, time management or any other area of your life you must start with yourself first.

Our feelings convey a lot of stuff to us. I think its the most powerful tool we have, to help us understand ourselves, the people and the situations around us. That's why I feel it's important to get close to our feelings and go deep and understand what our feelings want to convey to us. Hence today's podcast episode is about how not to ignore your feelings.

The best thing we can do to ourself is to stay in tune with ourself our emotion our feelings. Like for example in this very moment, I am feeling a bit restless that's because there is something I have to do and I am doing something else. This restless feeling is trying to indicate me to stop my podcast recording and go do the work I first need to finish.

I think our feelings can be our guiding map and if we closely pay attention we will be able to easily and faster reach our goals and the happier we will be. The more we suppress our feelings the further away we are pushing ourself from our goals and our happiness.

Okay firstly before I go on with today's topic I need to practice what I am preaching to y'all, so got listen and act as my feelings are indicating me that is I need to finish the work I intended to do until then my restless feeling will not calm down. So after completing the work, I will be back in a jiffy.

Today's topic is about my night routine. I just feel that night is the best time. Everything in the house and outside on street is quietening down. The hustle and bustle around is getting into a relax mode. Apart from things and people getting silent around me. Even my mind starts calming down. That's why I do some work before dinner, especially planning my next day or learning something new and writing into my journal.

Before I sleep I make my bed. When I am making my bed it's like giving a signal to my brain that it is time to get ready to sleep. I listen to some relaxing instrumental with little sounds of nature on my phone. Especially the sounds of night forest and crickets. These sounds help my mind to relax. It also indicates my mind that it is time to sleep.

The term self-care if searched on google or youtube shows many results of taking caring of ourselves. And the suggestion mentioned for self-care are indeed wonderful that I do feel like indulging in them. But I believe self-care is a practice that shouldn't be down only when you are exhausted, burnt out, drained out or feeling empty. You should never wait to reach that level to take care of yourself. Self-care should be a daily practice and hence I feel that there should be something super simple easy and doable that doesn't take much time and gives the result that we require & want and also something that can be done for a long time preferable forever.

It is good to make something a habit and stick with it rather keep changing doing something under the name of self-care, which keeps disturbing the routine. It's great to do some self-pampering once in a while but I wanted something that doesn't require to do much and something that I do without giving any reasons to quit it.

And what is that one self-care habit I am talking about it is MEDITATION!!!

You are free to choose, but you are not free from the consequence of your choice. One of the quotes I read on Pinterest.

Often we make decisions without thinking much. We don't give time to mentally scan through the options we have. We act like there is no choice, but the truth is that we always have a choice. And whatever choice you will make there will be a consequence to it. Ulmitaley the choice we keep making starts shaping our life.

It is so important to make the choice after understanding the possible consequence of the action. A choice you make is also defining you. It speaks a lot about you as a person. Even the simplest act of choosing to throw something on the road instead of a waste bin talks about what kind of person you are. Treating animal with love and care depicts the compassionate and caring nature in you. Regardless of what you say like I don't care it's my life I will do as I please, you cant hide away from the consequence of your choice. I learnt this from the book called Madame Chic by Jennifer L. Scoot that we all have viewers. Viewer, are not limited to Instagram, Facebook and other social media handles. We have viewers in our daily life. When you go to work when you go shopping when you go for a walk with your pet when you go to your gym. You are not invisible people see you. And when choose to move around in your society with that kind of attitude i.e I don't care, it will ultimately reflect a lot about you.

It not about making the right choice because you are going to be judged but making the right choice because it will make a huge shift in your life.

My dog's name is Lucky and he is the heart & joy of our house. He is an Indian breed called Pandikona and he was adopted in Feb 2017 when he was 2 months old. He was so small that I could hold him in one palm. He was and is a hyperactive dog. Always full life, attention seeker, asking me to always pet him, Licking me to convey his love for me. Always sitting by my side, never leaving me alone, following me where I go. I am so blessed to have him in my life. He loves everyone in the house and always wants everyone to be in the house, quarantine time has made him happy cause very little do we go out. Whenever I am ready to go out he will be jumping on me and also making different sounds requesting me to take him along. He loves long drives, his face out of the window and the wind on his face, he totally enjoys it but we are very careful that he is not leaning out of the window for which the window is down only 1 / 4th enabling him to comfortable look outside. He seriously an attraction everyone driving around our car looks at him, some even stop the car next to our car at the signal just to look at him, speak to him and even pet him if possible. He is now 3 years old and will soon turn 4.

I want to share the 3 things I have learned from him, which I feel I wouldn't have learnt if he was not there in my life.

Lockdown is over, long back but I and my family still don't head out just for fun. The only reason we head out is when we have to buy grocery that too only once or twice a month. My job allows me to work from home during this pandemic so I am blessed as many people have lost their jobs. Believe it or not, I and my family are still doing self-quarantine and we will continue to do it for some more time. As we hearing many COVID cases around us. The number of cases have increased and the safest thing to do is to stay home as much as possible. Can't believe from the march month lockdown of 2020 we still are in quarantine mode. Didn't even in my wildest dream think something like this would ever happen. It is so unexpected. Anyways my today's podcast episode no 47 is about what I have learned in my quarantine period.

I am sure this quarantine has a 100% thaught something or the other to each one of us. So if you want to get the best out of this episode then pull out pen-paper to write down, preparable in a journal or a notebook about your learning from this quarantine time you spent at home.

I want to share my experience and learning during my quarantine. See if you find something you can relate to.
