Zentangle your way to happiness

Mona: Did you hear about meditation?

Sona: Who doesn't know it? It is something I have tried and failed

Mona: Did you hear about doodling? That is the only thing I do in classes.

Sona: How can I not know about it?

Mona: How about combining those both?

Sona: What?!

Mona: Yeah, you heard it right. It becomes meditative drawing.

Sona: But how does that increase my happiness?

Revisiting Photos can make you happy

Do you go back and look at your old photographs?

Do you show your old photographs when someone close to you visits your house?

If you ever did either of them, you already know the happiness photographs give. If you didn’t, you will know it now.

Bucket list - Why and How to have one?

A genie asks you to wish for what you want in life. It is not just three like the traditional genies but unlimited. What will you ask for?

I want to be an astronaut.

I want to travel around the world.

I want to eat that Italian dish.

I want to publish a best seller

...

The list must be really long. That’s okay. Just make the list. 

Are you done with making your list? Save it in a secure place. Don’t worry if you are not done. You can add wishes to the list any time in the future also. Now name it as ‘bucket list’ or ‘list of things to do before I die’ or ‘My wonderful wishes’. Give it a name which is closer to you.

“Now that the genie is gone, what do I do with the list?” you must be wondering.

Shhh! No Gossiping

“Can you hear the sounds in the neighbor’s house? I wonder what they are fighting over. Carrie told me that she doubts her husband. It is probably about that. How mean he is!”

“Rita has been lately staying at home. Did she lose her job?”

At a party, “Rony had been spending quite a huge sum these days. There is no legal way he could have earned so much.”

Well! Well! All of us would have gossiped some time or the other. And some of us live only on gossip. And a very few of us hate it. We know it is wrong. But why is it wrong?

Organizing things paves way to Organised life

“Mommy! Where is my school bag?”

“Darling! Have you seen my belt?”

“I can’t find the file I need to take to work today.”

A common scene in every house in the mornings. Despite being a daily headache, hardly any of us bother to come back in the evening and set things right. A few articles say clumsiness is a sign of intelligence and a few others say being organised is the habit of highly successful people. Leaving intelligence and success aside, there are a few other advantages of being organised.
