If Your Life Was a Book, Would You Read It?

If Your Life Was a Book, What Would Its Title Be? Imagine holding a book in your hands — a book that is all about you . Every page captures a moment you have lived, a chapter you have closed, and a turning point that changed everything. The laughter, the mistakes, the victories, the quiet moments nobody saw — all bound together in one story. Now pause for a moment. If you had to give this book a title, what would it be? This question is not just fun — it is a mirror. A simple way to see how you see yourself right now. For some, the title might be bold and adventurous. For others, it could be soft and reflective. And for many, it may reveal dreams and struggles they have never put into words. Why This Question Matters Life often feels like it is rushing forward, page after page. We rarely stop to think about the story we are writing. By asking yourself this question, you might uncover how you truly feel about your journey so far — and where you want it to go next.

Not your servant. Not your shadow. Just Sonali. “Not Your Servant”: Sonali’s Story of Quiet Rebellion What happens when a girl who’s always been “nice” decides she’s done being useful? Sonali was the girl who said sorry to automatic doors, who planned trips she did not even want to go on, and who somehow became everyone’s unpaid assistant — friends, family, classmates, professors. Always helpful. Always agreeable. But never seen. In our latest podcast episode, I share the real journey of Sonali — my childhood friend — who slowly disappeared under the weight of being everyone's “good girl”... until one quiet afternoon, she realized: “I don’t know who I am when I’m not being useful.” Why You Should Listen: If you’ve ever said “yes” when you meant “no” If you feel guilty setting boundaries If people call you “so nice”… but you feel exhausted all the time Sonali’s rebellion is not loud. It’s not dramatic. But it’s powerful — and healing. For her. For us. For anyo...

"I Am Not Crazy, I Just Overthink Everything" — Saumya’s Story Will Hit You Where It Hurts

Sometimes the loudest battles are the silent ones inside our mind. The Mind’s Traffic Jam: When Overthinking Hijacks Your Peace Have you ever felt like your mind has 47 tabs open… all at once? Like you are constantly thinking, rethinking, and still... getting nowhere? Let me introduce you to my childhood friend, Saumya . From the outside, she looked like the girl who had it all figured out — the smile, the career, the calmness. But inside? She was battling a constant mental traffic jam. 🚦 It All Began With One Text College. One evening. She texted a guy she liked — “Hi, how are you?” Simple, right? But within 30 minutes, she had already imagined 47 ways she had “messed it up.” “Why did I text first?” “Was ‘Hi’ too boring?” “What if he thinks I am clingy?” By the time he replied — two hours later — “Hey! I am good, how are you?” Saumya’s mind had already hosted a mental drama series with 3 seasons, 4 villains, and a tragic end. 🔁 When Overthink...

Would Your 10-Year-Old Self Smile, Cry, or Run Away When Meeting You Today? – An Unspoken Story Would Your 10-Year-Old Self Smile, Cry, or Run Away When Meeting You Today? – An Unspoken Story Some meetings don't need words — just the courage to face who we once were. Remember that question? The one we recently asked on our poll: "If your 10-year-old self met you today, how would they react?" The responses were fascinating, a mix of smiles, confusion, running away, and even some harsh self-critique like being called a "loser" or being told you're "wasting time." These weren't just simple poll results; they were a mirror, reflecting our deepest self-perceptions and self-critique. They make us wonder: Why do we sometimes feel so disconnected from that innocent, hopeful childhood 'me'? Or are we, in fact, still that same person, just with more layers? --- Childhood: The Foundation That Builds Us Our childhood isn't just...

What is peace of mind? There was a time when my mind felt like a crowded room —thoughts bumping into each other, emotions speaking over one another and silence nowhere to be found.  I thought peace of mind was something distant, something people talked about in books or meditation retreats. But then I realized, maybe peace isn’t a destination . Maybe it’s hidden in the little pauses we often overlook.

Why is Peace of Mind Important? In a world filled with constant noise, deadlines, and endless to-do lists, the idea of peace of mind can feel almost out of reach. I get it — life often feels like it’s rushing by at a pace too fast to catch. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: peace of mind is not just a fleeting wish; it’s a gift, a treasure that has the power to transform not just your day but your entire life. Mental Clarity: Finding Your Inner Compass Imagine waking up every morning feeling clear-headed and ready to face whatever the day throws at you. That’s what peace of mind brings—mental clarity.
