I love myself-self awareness

I love myself is a reflection of "I am self-aware and accept myself". I was in school when this word aroused curiosity in me. Initially, I was only fascinated by the charm which surrounds "self-awareness". I never realised how deep it could connect with self. It was only when I started writingI introspected my thoughts and actions. My self-exploration, with time, became more profound.
 I could actually evaluate whether my emotions were true or influenced by peer group. This consciousness helped me to rediscover my capabilities and be more responsive to events of life.


What is self-awareness?

It is listening to our self, self-questioning who we are, what we do, why we do?
It is observing own thoughts, actions, behaviour and become conscious of what should we do?




Steps to cultivate self-awareness

Writing a diary:  Pen down your day to day actions, emotions, beliefs,thoughts-negative or positive, what we want in life, connect with yourself, process your thoughts in writing.  Even you will be surprised to read what you have written. This habit reflects a mirror image of ourselves where we have a clear picture of who we are? 

Be honest to yourselfWriting is a vital component in sketching an honest outline of our personality.  If we are true to ourselves, we can set honest goals for ourselves and work efficiently to achieve them.  On the other hand, bluffing our instincts shakes our self-belief. Hence be truthful and candid to yourself.

Believe in yourself:  Everything we focus affects our life. We should follow our heart. We are our Santa. For this, we have to be observant of our thoughts, develop a vision and then sharpen our skills. It can be achieved through trial and error method or experiential learning.

Be optimistic:  If you believe that good things will happen to you, the good vibes will direct you to positive action. This invokes healthier behaviour patterns but it has to be actively practised in daily life. Byrne, the author of "The secret" says that once she was in total despair but when she started believing herself, good things started happening and miracles happened in her life.

   There is constant communication between mind and body. Every word we utter signals mind accordingly and these positive mantras work magic.

Be adventurous:  Be willing to take risks, adopt new methods, experience excitement in any sports of your like or music or any other activity which interests you and sharpens your mind, encourages your spirit and blossoms your heart.

Be fit:  It has been found in the research of Health journal Neuropsychologia that even 10 minutes of exercise acts as a catalyst for the brain. It increases blood flow in the brain which boosts the working capacity of the brain. It is really helpful in mentally challenging tasks where ten minutes of exercise can lead to better performance. Practices like meditation, pranayama, deep breathing, walking, eating healthy help us find inner balance and reduce stress levels.

Be motivated: Nobody can teach you to trick your mind. Whenever you feel low read biographies, watch motivational documentaries, get inspiration from nature and surroundings around you.  Be your own stimulant and coach your mind to derive inspiration from what interests you.

I love myself-self awareness

Self-awareness, from the perspective of psychology, is a rich and complicated subject.  As human beings, we may never fully understand ourselves but we can discover and rediscover our self to make our living worthy and fruitful.

Self-awareness

An invisible intruder in the fragile hive
being nourished with feeds of life
reared in the inner conch
breaking the silence of this quietude monk

giving vent to a thousand  emotions 
paving way for glorious sensations
will these blessings not embrace
mine uncaptured little place

blossom in fullest measure
to wrap my soul in pleasure
digging a passage through the seed of my desires,
making an affirmation of best comrade.

 An invisible intruder is self-awareness and the fragile hive is a soul
So promise yourself from today that I will heal my mind and body. I will reboot my life because  I love myself.

What is the role of theatre in school education? | Theatre for children

A big bang.....what was it? sound from a theatre for children..... when I entered the auditorium, a musical performance was underway on the song of Justin Timberlake "can't stop the feeling". Another epic performance was ongoing in a hall attached to the auditorium. In the courtyard, Street theatre(nukkar Natak) was in progress on child labour which instantly made me recall the acclaimed movie "Stanley ka Dabba."Action, movement and excitement were unstoppable. Variety of costumes, masks, make up artists, sound engineers added to the liveliness of the environment. I stood in a corner recalling how during childhood even small roles in school plays and dance dramas would always keep us electrified to spare no efforts in rehearsals. The theatre is not arrested in time. Originating from Greece, it has stood the test of time and come a long way to the improvisational theatre to the novel concept of online theatre. It was on World theatre day,27 March, I ha...

Behavioural abnormality in kids

Behavioural abnormality in kids cannot be measured. In one of the colouring events, I accompanied my kids, I was mesmerised with the colourful imagination of people. One young girl was painting the complexities of the brain so minutely that my attention was completely drawn towards her painting. Suddenly something crossed my eyes. Before I could understand what interrupted my undiverted attention, one of the guardians started scolding a child while a woman was repeatedly sorry for the behaviour of her kid. Out of curiosity, I peeped into the conversation. A boy of 8 yrs threw a painting brush on a toddler which hit him on his forehead. Due to the intervention of other parents, the matter was wrapped up quickly and the event resumed its character. But the mother of the boy was so upset that she left the place with her child in haste. I was closely watching the behaviour of mother and boy. As the event progressed nobody cared about that soon forgotten incident but being a paren...

Impact of Covid-19 on learning graph of kids.!!

The impact of Covid-19 lockdown is so overwhelming that even kids fear it is incessant. Every day my daughter prays to God to finish the virus so that she can step out of confinement. The children were not meant to be part of this pandemic but now they are at greater developmental risks affecting both physical and mental growth. Their learning graph is slow-moving in an unconducive environment.UN policy published recently corroborates this fact. According to UN 188 countries have imposed countrywide school closures, affecting more than 1.5 billion children and youth. Parents, schools, policymakers- all are stumped because of the inconceivable situation for which they never rehearsed. The immense challenges hardly provide a quick fix in the contemporary scenario but will put up us in state of readiness for the future. Let us discuss these challenges: Impact of Covid-19 on learning What are the challenges for parents? The routine of kids has gone berserk. There is no des...
