Plan-Organize-Recreate: If you Love eating Food to the Heart core, you must read this!

Almost all of us are foodies, we love food. We binge over it all the time. We celebrate our emotions with food. We know that we celebrate festivals with sweets, we celebrate summer with mangoes, we celebrate breakup with ice-cream, we celebrate birthdays with treats, etc. You might easily find an incident in your life (May it be good or bad) that you celebrated it with food. By celebration, I don’t mean only the good situations. Most of the times we celebrate our bad days with binge eating, or eating random snacks or a chocolate cake. Basically, food becomes a medium to express our feelings and emotions. While it might not be always wrong to express emotions with food but this clings us to food. We stick to food as a parasite, we fill ourselves full in a spiritual way to good mental health by food. For example: Suppose you have ice-cream after your lunch/dinner and this is your regular routine because your sweet tooth doesn’t let you sit still after you’ve had your meal. S...

Plan-Organize-Recreate: Live the Life of Your Dreams!

Do you imagine living a life of your dreams where you are at complete satisfaction with life? I feel satisfaction with life is more of a journey that we go through where we realize that we are what we are irrespective of the ‘PAST’, we go through life with the maximum of our consciousness and attention in ‘PRESENT’ and we know which direction to put ourselves in ‘FUTURE’. Most of us imagine ourselves feeling this satisfaction, happiness, and bliss towards life in the future self. Then what stops us exactly to get to that phase of satisfaction/bliss/happiness if we know that this is what we need? The point is we need an action plan for controlling these efficiently. Well, here it is! Do you recollect any positive experience in past every time you do something in life? Does it nudge you all the time? The answer is a big ‘No’. The reason being we tend to make peace with our past positive experiences. But the negative experiences do nudge many of us often. These negative experi...

Plan-Organize-Recreate: How to think Right for Successful Life

Do you enjoy being with yourselves, ‘Just you’? If you are made to sit in a room alone for 15-minutes and provided with a button to shock yourself, will you shock yourself up or think for 15-minutes? Stay up with your answer! When Timothy Wilson, a Social Psychologist at University of Virginia, U.S. performed a social experiment to check the ‘Thinking period’ of people. Wilson and his team left the participants alone in the lab room in which they could push a button and shock themselves up if they wished to. Even if the participants agreed to pay money to avoid being shocked with electricity before, 67% of men and 25% of women chose to shock themselves up rather than sit quietly and think. This means that 67% of men and 25% of women couldn’t stand their own thought for 15 minutes. This is so sad that people feel bored and uncomfortable with their own thoughts! On the Contrary, some people are over-thinkers to an extent that they dislike themselves for overthinking ov...
