“It's okay to change plans. It's okay to put 'breathe' on your to-do list. It's okay to save some time for yourself on your busy days. Be brave enough to choose what you want from life. Be kind enough to yourself to take care of yourself first.”

― Poetry of Dhiman, You Matter

I. Cultivating Mindful Relationships

  1. Relationship with Self.

  2. Relationship with Others.

  3. Relationship with Our Devices.

What we consume becomes a great influence on our behavior, attitudes, and results. Who we are around, what they have us thinking, saying, doing, and becoming set the course of our days, weeks, months, years, and life.

II. Pause. Breathe. Choose.

We can take the following steps to reach a state of greater awareness and deprive negative thoughts of their power:

  • Identify the negative, or toxic, influences around you – List your negative thoughts and reflect on what triggers them.

  • Pause before engaging in negativity – Freedom doesn’t mean indulging in any desire, such as the wish to complain, just because you can. Freedom means releasing yourself from the control of desires.

  • Mindfully label your feelings – Instead of making unproductive, vague statements about how you feel – such as, “I’m angry” – mindfully reflect on your feelings and describe them with specificity.

  • Forgive those who’ve hurt you – When relationship partners forgive each other, emotional stress on the relationship lessens, and both partners experience greater well-being.

III. Focusing On What Matters

  • Life: Make life a living dialogue of goodness by discovering your calling and serving others with skill, enthusiasm, and passion.

  • Attitude: Comfort affirms. Discomfort transforms. It is never too late to become the person you have always dreamed of being.

  • Behavior: Keep in mind you will run out of tomorrows. Don't try to find yourself ― invest in creating + evolving yourself.

  • Performance: You are the architect and designer of your own life and career. Strive to get 1% better in some facet of your life each day.

VI. This Week I Will

  1. Hug myself.

  2. Keep a daily promise.

  3. Recognize my triggers.

  4. Embrace introspection.

  5. Practice intentionality in my relationships.

The Last Words…

“There is a big difference between giving up and letting go. Giving up means selling yourself short. It means allowing fear and struggle to limit your opportunities and keep you stuck. Letting go means freeing yourself from something that is no longer serving you. Giving up reduces your life. Letting go expands it. Giving up is imprisoning. Letting go is liberation. Giving up is self-defeat. Letting go is self-care.”
