My learning my responsibility


She came saying "I want to conduct a session because I want to be the boss. I want everyone to listen to me." We discussed what session, what would be the topic, how long will be the session, what preparation is required, what will the the flow of the session and much more.. 

She did not know what to prepare. She can asking me"Pineapple I don't know what to do". I told her to make 15 questions about dance and set the timer for 10 mins ... we decided that next 10 mins she will only think about dance and wait for the brain to giver her ideas. After 10 mins ⏳ she was still making questions. Happily she said "I like when I get ideas".

She researched for the questions. She waited patiently for her time. She convinced and invited everyone to attend her session. She conducted what she had prepared.

As a facilitator and an observer it was a joy to see this complete process.

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. On the 4th day my mom came to visit me. She could not see me so weak and in pain. Next morning she called me and yelled at me. She spoke to me as if I was an 8yr old child forgetting that I was 40 years now.  She said, ”I haven’t slept the entire night.  Look at you how weak you have become.  I will break your legs if you don’t go to the doctor.….” 😂.. By then I had...

Toxic Positivity Vs. Healthy Positivity

Image
  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. While it may seem like this is a helpful response, it can be damaging in the long run, as it doesn’t allow people to truly process their emotions and instead encourages them to ignore them and shut down all their feelings and experiences. Positivity becomes toxic when we jump steps. W...

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.
