Meditation

Everyday starts with meditation time in Discover Me. Having the constraint of doing meditation everyday,pushes us to think of different ways to meditate. We take turns to get meditation to the session. We have explored meditation with water, with music, with movements, with silence, with nature and this time it was with fire. This meditation also gave us a chance to talk about the 5 elements of our body. We explored how the human body, just like the entire universe, is made up of the five elements earth, water, fire, air and space.

Please don’t love me.....

You must be wondering? We all want people to love us and what is this?? She is saying “Please don’t love me!” Read it until the end to know why.. Over the last month, I had some health issues.  Last week, I even had to be hospitalized. I am doing well now. I am truly grateful for such difficult situations because they always bring a lesson… a gift in disguise.  I got a lot of time to observe human behavior and also reflect on myself. Initially I was trying to heal myself with Naturopathy as I don’t like taking tablets😬.  So I was advised to be on a water diet. I was on a water diet for a week.

By then I had...

  Toxic Positivity Vs. Healthy Positivity Toxic positivity is a term used to describe an over-emphasis on optimism, where someone is consistently trying to put a positive spin on negative events or circumstances. Phrases such as “Don’t worry, everything will be okay” “Cheer up!” "Come on see the positive side" "Don't be weak, Stay strong" "Be Positive" "Its ok" "I am fine" "Everything happens for a reason" "Be a man" "What's wrong with you, you are upset for such a small thing" "Don't cry" are used to make the situation or the person feel better without truly recognizing the other person's emotions.

Treasure hunt

Treasure hunt We divided the group into two. They created Treasure Hunt challenge for each other. As a team the plant the clues, placed them in a way that they can guide the other team to the Treasure. Treasure that if found was shared with both the groups. Creating and solving the clues as a team was quite challenging. When one of the team member was not well, she was included by giving her to read the clues, that way she could still be part of the game. After playing for 2 hrs they said "I was focused", I could think quickly", "I learnt to help my friends", "| realised that I can be quite and still be part of the group", "This was the first time I played with this big group"," there is so much to learn". As a facilitator it was quite fulfilling to see immense learning in just 2hrs.
