Healthy, Happy, and Empathetic are mine.

Why do you do what you do ? I have often asked this question to myself, when I loose track of my life, making me more anxious or impatient and it really helps to align back to what we all need - leading a happy life. At times life become chaotic because of demanding more than what we can actually deliver, be it in personal front or professional career. We even try our best by giving extra effort, going beyond the boundaries, but of late one thing I have learnt is that, if it's creating more anxiety and affecting our health, then it's better to stop there and take a pause. The boy was going through this during his exams, affecting his sleep quality terribly and I advised him to stop doing that, and instead set a limit, without taking the toll on his health. Health is the most precious possession we all have and we realize only after it goes wrong. So don't force yourself to keep pushing, once you see a red flag, instead, pause, rest and reset yourself to rise again.

To relax him from his regular schedule, I took him to Decathlon after his exam, and we picked some regular stuffs for exercise - fitness is going to be his priority now and I am his competitor.

He was amazed with their billing process renovated - you throw your stuff on that box and it recognizes the product, adding to the bill - technology improving our lifestyle.

We picked couple of these for the lady, but then all did not go well, more to come on that later.

Who does not want to be Happy ? Everyone wants to be happy, but unfortunately happiness cannot be frozen and kept forever, because aspirations keep rising and we forget small little things in that process. Do you enjoy every food or meal and feel the satisfaction while eating ? Thinking and choosing about your favorite food and then enjoying it everyday is one other small but powerful way to be happy - if you have the food that you want to eat, clothes for your body and a place of your choice to sleep, then you are better than seventy five percent people of the world - be grateful and have a nice sleep to heal yourself. Finding happiness in these small little things makes our living more fulfilling and now they have become my top priorities of every day happiness. Earlier I used to worry about big things, and not giving attention to these small things, but upon introspection I discovered that its creating more anxieties and not doing any good.

On our way back, we have this nice place famous for sweets and we made sure to pick up some - as long as you are fit and doing exercise, eating them in limited quantity to fulfill our desire is not going to be a problem - don't listen to doctor's advice who says eating sweet can make you diabetic - rather be fit and fearless to allow your body to produce enough insulin and eat happily.

And finally be Empathetic to others, acting with kindness. Self-compassion is the starting point of that, be a good listener without interrupting, even though your point of view may be different. Majority of our dissatisfaction will go away by being empathetic, when we practice to control our emotional intelligence. Remember one thing - neither you have brought anything to this world nor you are going to take anything while leaving.
