Befriend yourself

Dear Reader,

The lead story for March is on trusting yourself. Come to think of it, it’s a great asset to have. Most people, when asked if they can deliver something within a certain time, find it difficult to commit. They fear that unforeseen challenges might prevent them from keeping their word. In order not to cut a sorry figure later on, they say that they’ll try. They are not wrong in their assumption. Life doesn’t take orders from you that easily. It yields to your plans only after great effort and persistence. You have to create new patterns to be able to come to the space where whatever you say or believe in, manifests. However, the onus to make it happen is on you. When you trust yourself, your intentions and your abilities, and work hard to deliver on your promises, the heavens comply.

Conversely, whatever you practise, you come to master and can trust yourself to be able to wing it even at short notice. 

Self-trust signifies the forging of a good relationship with yourself. That you know what you can do and what you cannot. This ability can make your life path as smooth as a well-laid road. Written by Bijal Maroo, the article In Me I Trust prods you to gradually build and fortify this muscle to have a better relationship with life.

The second lead , Don’t Fight Back the Tears is on the sensitive topic of crying. Author Navni Chawla has a flair for coming up with brilliant and ingenious ideas and putting her heart into crystallising them through a well-researched article. Read on to understand the many layers of shedding tears and how to get rid of the guilt that comes with letting them roll. 

The issue also carries a thought-provoking article on the deleterious effect of nursing biases and how it prevents you from growing socially, economically, and spiritually. If you have any biases, be ready to be shaken up into awareness about them.

The food article for this month breaks a certain myth about the way we eat food. It was an eye-opener for me and will shake your beliefs too around your food habits. 

Read on to find more and enjoy the March issue to your heart’s content.
