Today I am going to try to talk about a very sensitive topic. We have all been there. We made some mistakes, forgot to send that extremely important mail at work, missed the birthday of your kid because you were travelling for work, shared too much in a party, or made a completely wrong career choice or you might have hurt someone intentionally or unintentionally. I can go on and on but I guess you got my point, right?. We have all been there. We all had our fair share of mistakes. But rather than moving on, we tend to linger in the past and blame ourselves for these mistakes. Today, I want to talk about the ways you can forgive yourself.

This is episode no 81- Hurry up - the words that I am giving up. I have so much to say about this topic. This is such an inherent habit that I have acquired ever since I became a mom. I heard a quote somewhere a long time ago, Nature does not hurry, still seasons change, plants grow, birds chirp, everything falls into its place beautifully. Then, why rush? I understand as adults we have tons of responsibilities. I understand the rush , the panic that you  feel just getting your kids out of the door, into the car for school. Every mom who has done the school drop off duty can relate to this.

 Last week, I talked about Fear of Missing Out. While talking about that topic, I realized that we all are in a crunch of time. Most of the time, when someone asks you about your day, you reply saying how busy you are these days. I am no different. I have said so many times on this podcast that it was a busy week or a busy month, so on and so forth. I consider myself a very organized person but still most of the time I feel I am running out of energy and time to accomplish my daily tasks. Today, I want to talk about organizing our time in a better way so that we feel more accomplished and yet peaceful. This is no easy feat my friend.  Tackling all your to-do lists, being productive and still feeling calm is like an elusive combination. But, it won't hurt to try, right?

I see this mad race around me so many times. People don't even know what race they are running but everyone is running towards something. Everyone is in a rush to get somewhere. Everyone is busy, everyone is doing something, feeling their day with meaningless activities. Sometimes we get under peer pressure and start doing something that is not really our cup of tea. Sometimes we feel the need to be part of the group and hence we take on activities that we don't really enjoy. Sometimes we are just too afraid to say no and the most tricky of all, sometimes we are just afraid of missing out and hence take on new responsibilities on top of our already full schedule. This fear of missing out is so severe that we do so many of our activities just to avoid this fear. Today, I want to talk about this fear of missing out more in depth. Please visit my website - www.morningcupofsunshine.com for more details. 'Like my Facebook page  - https://www.facebook.com/Morning-Cup-Of-Sunshine-109242180807079

Sometimes when you set a goal , work hard for it but somehow, you are getting setbacks along the way and that could be a disappointment. It hurts, I understand. Disappointment can be painful, sometimes a little, sometimes a lot but it hurts for sure. But if you start learning to deal with the disappointment, then there is a greater chance that you move on towards your goal with a positive attitude rather than sulking in negative thoughts for days. Everyone faces disappointment sometime or the other. Feeling disappointed because you worked hard for the exam but did not get the score you expected? Feeling disappointed because you burnt your night oil for the success of the project but someone else got the credit? Feeling disappointed because you gave your best but still you lost the game? Feeling disappointed because you tried your best to take care of everyone at your home but no one seemed  to care or notice? I know, we face countless situations where we feel disappointed. Sometimes the severity is so much that it hurts to even think about it. But don't worry, I have got you covered today.

This episode is totally different from any other episode I have ever created. It is an open letter to the first working woman I saw up close and personal. It is an open letter to my inspiration. It is an open letter to my mom. Today, it's been exactly 24 years since my mom passed away. They say time heals all wounds. Do I agree? No, not at all, with all my core, I disagree. Maybe wounds don't show up, they get covered with scar tissues, maybe the pain lessens a bit but it is always there deep down, hidden somewhere. It's been 24 years but there has not been a single day that passes without me remembering my mom. This episode is dedicated to my dear AaiPlease subscribe to this podcast - Morning Cup of Sunshine.Please visit my website - www.morningcupofsunshine.com for more details. Like my Facebook page  - https://www.facebook.com/Morning-Cup-Of-Sunshine-109242180807079

The formal definition of time blocking says that it is the time management method that asks you to divide your day into blocks of time and then accomplish a specific task in that dedicated time block. I have learnt a very important lesson in the last 16 years of my professional journey. If you  don’t control your schedule then in no time, it will control you. This is the story of a modern workplace. Time blocking becomes extremely crucial if you are juggling multiple roles in your day to day life. Of course it is a must have skill for any working professional but it is equally important to stay at home parents, working from home professionals and almost everyone who has continuous ongoing to do list in their head. Whether you work a nine-to-five job, telecommute, or stay-at-home with the kids, everyone needs to learn this effective method for managing their day. It is a skill, it is the practice, a learned technique that can help you feel more in control of your own schedule. You must have heard this quote, you either run the day or the day runs you. So, before you get overwhelmed with the amount and variety of work you have in your day, let’s find ways to block your time dedicated to each role and tackle your to-do list with more ease and comfort. Please subscribe to this podcast - Morning Cup of Sunshine.Please visit my website - www.morningcupofsunshine.com for more details. Like my Facebook page  - https://www.facebook.com/Morning-Cup-Of-Sunshine-109242180807079
