Embrace your duality
We humans are fascinatingly complex. We often ignore the fact that our brains have both emotional and logical sides, each trying to help us in its own way. Recognizing and accepting this duality can be a game-changer for achieving peace and calm in our lives.
Imagine this: Your ego wants to prove a point to those who have hurt you. It drives your actions, pushing you to show your worth. Instead of fighting this ego, what if you accepted it? Understand that your ego is trying to protect your potential. By embracing it, you can use its energy positively without labeling yourself as egotistical.
On the flip side, your logical brain might criticize you for being too ego-driven. Instead of feeling bad, appreciate this logical side for keeping you grounded and balanced.
By acknowledging and accepting both your emotional and logical sides, you can find a harmonious balance. This practice can lead to a more peaceful and fulfilling life, no matter how challenging things get. So, give it a try—explore, practice, and meditate on this idea. You might be surprised at the peace it brings.

One of the foundational concepts in the book is that our personality traits are not fixed. Dispenza explains that once we understand the science behind why we are the way we are, it becomes clear that we can recreate ourselves. This realization is both empowering and liberating.
Beliefs, Validation and Kindness
I was at work. I was browsing a news website. A colleague walked in unannounced. He saw my screen and said “yaane aap congress wale ho” (So, this means you are a congress supporter!). His tone was almost accusatory. This was not the first time someone had classified me in this po...

The Minimalist Mindset
I used to be one of those who tried to do everything at once. You know the kind, of juggling a million things, trying to be the best at everything - school, work, home stuff, being the best daughter, mother, wife, friend, you name it. I was always told I was the \"Pillar\" of the...
