The Daily Pulse

Change that matters, change that is significant in not just its impact and desirability but also in its magnitude, is a process that happens in such intricate layers of existence, that impatience or pessimism cannot even imagine.

There is this line I see popularly circulated on social media that goes something along the lines of "if you want different results, you gotta act differently". In theory, this seems logical and obvious and something that may invite you to say "yasss gurl", "we stan" or simply clickety click your fingers in agreement.

BUT the process of "doing things differently" is so deeply layered that just the process of undergoing that transition is all that one can do on some days and as a culture, I feel we need to acknowledge that bec that simple act of acknowledgement in itself eases the stress of not being good enough or fast enough or better enough or not being there yet, considering we are a world that celebrates destinations more than the journey and in my mind, both are important.

Today, much to my surprise, I wrote about this on The Daily Pulse becoming a teacher of sorts for me too. Read more on the blog: thedailypulse.scrollstack.com

Today's writing on fear has turned out to be a piece where I offer you a short sample conversation that you can have with your fear that may have held you back, to ease it and to freely ride into the horizon, instead of denying it.

Its been 3 months of me writing on The Daily Pulse and today's post on choosing dignity at work is my most favourite title that I have written. I think it echoes some of my personal thoughts as well on how how ridiculous our education systems have been in preparing us for becoming adults that not only enjoy their work but also give back to the society without having to choose between the two.

Post 2020, changes in the form of work are not just limited to some industries or countries as we comfortably imagined in the past. How do we then figure them out and situate ourselves in the midst of that?

Today, some thoughts on Evolution of Work. Read on the blog here:

Conversations or literature on #healing can make you feel that it is a 'one size fits all' approach or that it is linear, like going from point A to point B. On some days, it might be but largely healing is a non-linear process unique to you and your experiences in life.

Today, I wrote one of my (personally speaking) most soothing posts on healing as a process along with a prompt to create a space for grounding.

Many of us conditioned to live in a way that equals self abandonment. This can be in the name of responsibility towards someone else, or just a belief that in life, we have to often choose between our happiness / joy / selves, and safety / love at the hands of someone or something outside of us. Today, some thoughts on volition to move ahead, without succumbing to conditionings of having to choose between the self & (safety in) the world: https://thedailypulse.scrollstack.com/post/4522/Pulse-of-the-Day-Volition If you want to support the podcast, you can now buymeacoffee as well - buymeacoffee.com/shivranjana

As a younger person, I could never articulate my deep questioning of what makes those in authority / power truly deserving of it, since I do not understand, nor validate a disempowered public choice as credibility.

Today, some words on justice, credibility and institutions from the perspective of individual self awareness. Read on the blog -

Sometimes, we learn to believe and we do live in a world that reiterates this belief that to give that is to be a "good" person, it has to come at the cost of oneself, that is, it has to be a choice between us and those we may care about. However, that habit can soon become the very reason that either one may not want to give and continue to do it while seething with resentment, or what one is giving may slowly lose value in the eyes of the receiver. Today, some thoughts and a journal prompt on balanced giving. Read on the blog (thedailypulse.scrollstack.com).
