Fear of fear

I am currently reading Robin Sharma's "The Monk who sold his Ferrari".
Interesting book! I was just reading the part where Julian talks about fear and how to overcome it.
He says, for a person who has the fear of public speaking, to sign up for 20 classes of public speaking. ie., he says, face fear in the eye and do often what you fear the most.
This way works for me, for sometimes, that is my only way out.
But is this feasible at all times?
At some point, are not all of us scared of being intimidated?

But fear drains our energy. I've heard it before too! We have to let fear pack its bags.
We hardly have time to lead a happy life, why let fear take a part of it?

There was this other thing I really loved from the book:
There are no mistakes; only lessons, in life! All these lessons should be oppurtunities to create milestones.


There are so many things(like this book) to make our lives so easy. Wish I could set my hands on everything and make my life more worthwhile!

Isha Yoga

Though I knew it, one of our family brought it to light that it has been a long time I posted here. I'd love to say that the last few weeks were pretty hectic & I just couldn't find time to write something here. Not so! The last few weeks have been totally different. I've had the time to do so many things that were in my "to do" list for a long time. Thanks to better management of time & sleep. The secret: a seven day yoga program. A very close friend forced me to join this course. I was hesitant & skeptical. I was not sure I was up for the 30 min twice a day commitment(40 days). I have a toddler & I really toggle between her & other work at home already. Plus what big change would come? But somehow, I registered for this class. Since I read somewhere that they give discount for married couples, I brought G in too(though the main reason would be to make sure I get through the 40 days). From the day I registered till the 1st day at class, this...

Two Books, One Author

Is it possible to die gracefully? One author, Mitch Albom masterfully demonstrates that it is, through the poignant narratives of the individuals in his two remarkable works. My journey began with Finding Chika , which subsequently guided me to its spiritual predecessor, Tuesdays with Morrie . While Finding Chika overwhelmed me with deeply touching emotions, Tuesdays with Morrie evoked a sense of homecoming. One person’s life can serve as a profound lesson for another. We often remain oblivious to the myriad experiences encapsulated within the lives of others. These two books have enriched my life immeasurably, awakening within me a deep appreciation for the abundance I possess in the present moment. A book can offer a unique portal into the mind of its author. Albom’s perspective is, at its core, one of acceptance—an acknowledgment of human fallibility, the pursuit of truth, and the transformative power of life’s lessons. To err, to confront truth and allow it to reshape your existe...
