Covid day 36 - long long day!

Back to back to back to back meetings today! Half hour, one hour, half hour, one hour - soooo much of context switching! Was just really exhausting. Tomorrow looks more of the same. And I do have things to get done but barely any time to do them! 
Had a good workout today too. K and I decided to split up and work out separately. He took A for a walk and I fed him dinner while K worked out. Hopefully we are being more conscious about giving him attention and spending more 1:1 time with him this way. But I do miss the adrenaline rush of working out with K. He really motivates me to push harder and harder. I got through it because it wasn’t too brutal. If it was like yday I would’ve just given up 😐
Another day and Another night bite the dust. When is this going to end?!!!!

Dwitiya Vighnam

The real reason why I blogged today is to avoid "Dwitiya Vighnam"...I dont even wanna try translating this into english but I'll definitely try to explain what it means. "Dwitiya Vighnam" is a popular Hindu belief....if you 'start' doing something one day then you continue to do the same thing the next day. Say for e.g. I started blogging yesterday, so if I don't blog today then it's not considered a good start. Dwitiya  => second Vighnam => obstacle I believe the real reason behind this belief is to encourage continuity. But I'm the kinda person who does something for 2 days to avoid Dwitiya Vighnam and then stops doing it the third day ;)

Half Saree (Langa voni)

Image
Half saree, aka Langa Voni (in Telugu), is a traditional south Indian outfit typically worn by teenage girls. It's called a 'half' saree cuz it's, well, just half a saree :) It's synonymous with a Lehenga Choli or Chaniya Choli from north India. Young girls would wear half-sarees and gradually as they grow, transition to wearing sarees. I remember wearing my first half-saree when I was 12 years old. It was such a big deal for me, getting a 'semi-grown-up' feeling for the first time. The trend sorta faded away, taken over by really grand n expensive salwars, but they are back with a bang! They're not just for young girls anymore. This fashion trend has boomed so overwhelmingly that they're almost as popular as sarees. And it's not just exclusive to south India anymore, girls n women all over the country are wearing them. And wearing them with style! I'm gonna use this post to showcase a few trends that I like and also show off my collec...

Letting go of your inner critic and breaking the chains of negativity

Everyone has a little nagging voice in their head, their inner critic, that is a source of negative thoughts. This inner critic judges, criticizes, shames us for our perceived flaws and imperfections. This voice is usually loud during vulnerable times and is a major blocker for personal growth and development. Learning to understand, challenge and manage the inner critic is important to cultivate self-compassion, get rid of negative thoughts and live a more fulfilling life.   Awareness   is the first step in identifying and letting go of the inner critic. You have to become aware of its presence and its negative impact on you.   Identify situations   when your inner critic is triggered and explore your feelings about it. Often the inner critic is trying protect you from feeling vulnerable emotions like shame or guilt or fear in these situations. By   exploring how you really feel   (without the criticism) in these situations, you can sideline the inner crit...
