A little lesson on Chakras

Posted on September 1, 2022 by Bhanu Misra Marya

A couple of years ago, I finally spent some time learning about Chakras. They are the energy centers of the body. And although 7 are the most commonly exercised Chakras – there are 100s in the body.

Here is mini less on the 7 chakras shown above:

Root Chakra – Represented by the colour red is located near your tail bone. When this chakra is balanced, you’ll feel safe and grounded both physically and emotionally.
Sacral Chakra – Represented by the colour orange is located right below your belly button. This chakra is connected to our feelings of self worth and helps us harness our creativity.
Solar Plexus Chakra – Indicated by the colour yellow and located in the upper abdomen. This chakra supports our confidence, power & self esteem
Heart Chakra – This is the green chakra and is right over your heart. When aligned, we feel free to give love and also feel loved.
Throat Chakra – This is the colour turquoise and is on our throat/neck area. It governs our ability to speak our mind and heart with confidence. It also allows us to listen with compassion.
Third eye Chakra – Represented by the colour indigo and sits between our eye brows. It supports imagination and provides intuitive powers.
Crown Chakra – Indicated by a violet (ultra violet or white) colour and sits above our head. When balanced we feel connected to our life’s purpose and one consciousness spirituality.

Stay tuned for an upcoming Chakra lesson on how to balance and strengthen your Chakras.

5 personal growth quotes that will make you rethink your purpose

I know I’ve stumbled upon these quotes multiple times, but just recently they hit different.

It made me reflect on my purpose, direction and priorities. And also gave me more motivation. Though, I must say, quotes are flaky and can’t always provide inspiration. On occasion they can make you stand up, re-evaluate and take action.

So please feel free to reflect on the words and enjoy the sunflower pics I took at Robintide Farms

What we fear of doing most is usually what we most need to do.

We cannot become what we want by remaining what we are.

It’s Never Too Late To Be What You Might Have Been

If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you.

A goal without a plan is just a wish.

Be productive when you are not motivated

Posted on August 17, 2022 by Bhanu Misra Marya

We all have those days (heck maybe weeks) where productivity wains and we feel less than stellar about the work we aren’t getting done. I have a few thoughts on that, one being that productivity ebbs & flows – it’s all part of the process. Secondly, I ALWAYS say no to hustle culture. I mean, like the rest of us …I want it all (progressive career, great marriage, be a loving mother, hang with my friends, drink 3L of water and workout daily) – but I remember that REST will help me accomplish all the things.

Take a break from your workplace
Essentially you want to remove yourself from you current situation. Whether that means taking a walk, going to a coffee shop or sitting on your deck. Changing your environment (and in short order) will provide a new perspective as well as a break so you can come back with a fresh mind.
Put your phone in another room:
Staying off your socials, not constantly checking chat/emails or other apps will help to eliminate distractions (which when providing a false/high dopamine fix will further prevent one from getting work done). I’m yet to master this …let alone try it… But we all know mindless doom scrolling and social media comparisons, can put you in a funk. So an easy way to remove distractions is to time block your phone breaks.
Complete the smallest – easiest task:
What is important here is create the impression of progress on our minds. One small task could be finishing a bottle of water or sending an email you are dreading. Once you complete that task, and mark it off your list – it will create an automatic momentum and willingness to keep going!
Use the momentum and a focused playlist to keep going:
Once you’ve completed one task, use the that feeling to keep you going on to something else. Sometimes it helps to play your favourite music or a brown noise playlist. Keep on single tasking till you get three of your top priorities completed.

AM Routines based on energy levels

Posted on January 20, 2022 by Bhanu Misra Marya

Have you ever noticed how you feel at certain times of the day compared to other times of the day.

Or maybe you have times of the day where you are more productive or have more clarity.

You may not have realized but how you feel, how productive you are, or when you are thinking most clearly – is directly related to your energy levels.

Considering this, you might know exactly when your high energy time of the day is. I’m definitely a morning person – and love to get things done in the morning.

But not all days are the same. On occasion, I may wake up feeling like my energy is off. But even on those days I still want to be productive or have ideas that I want to execute on – I just can’t get to it (like there is a disconnect between my willpower and my ambition!)

When this happens, it’s important to acknowledge that energy, instead of attempting to force yourself to work through it. So creating routines to help you work efficiently during different energy levels can make a world of a difference.

What I love about this idea, is that you can still feel accomplished at the times when you don’t want to accomplish anything. This is a great system to put in place for yourself so you can get out of your head and execute.

I’ve created an AM routine list based on energy levels (and will definitely develop another for PM routines).

Hopefully this will inspire you to take a look at how you can optimize how you work through your energy levels.
