Social Media

Social Media.... Podcast

The latter half of 2017 I was able to get away from all the social media posts I was creating.

I restricted myself to post things only on one of the social media site and abandoned all the others. I also made sure I am checking my Facebook only twice a day; once sometime in the mornings and then at the end of the day.

All this because I was wasting too much time on it and realised how much more I could do if I didn’t.

Also, because I wanted to see if I could keep myself away from it and not collapse.

Two things happened amidst this:

1. I realised it was an addiction and I was capable of surpassing it with just a weeks conscious effort.

2. I took up a lot of new things I wanted to do and was able to manage pretty well.

This was 2017. 

On the eve of 2018 I resumed my social media posts but with a twist.

Now I am not wasting time on it as I did before.

I am posting things related to Spanish learnings on my page @ALilSpanishForAll, my blogs, my cookings and other hobbies.

And I still check my Facebook only twice a day.

So my learnings here were: instead of blaming the social media sites for wasting our time, take the responsibility on yourself and make things work for you.

PS: I am not scared of AI (Artificial Intelligence) taking over and analysing my every move in the future.

If you know what I am talking about.

Chao for now!

A daughter to her father

All she saw was the sun’s emerging light and its warmth, wide across her face.

The day had begun....

The first day the daughter stepped into a new country. The place that she had in her dreams and wanted to touch the land.

A majestic land.

How beautiful it would be she thought to live in the land she adored so much and how extraordinary it would be to speak the language she felt she always knew and had learned with so much vigour.

 

Her father let her go and explore her wishes.

Her father made it happen for her.

He was proud of her and she didn’t disappoint him.

Love,

Daughter

The next 10 years of my life

 

Taking control of my own life is something that I think of at least once a day. But there’s always this one thought coming from no where that takes me away from my ‘taking control of my life’ thought. Well, that’s called a distraction! Rather I would call it a ‘destructive thought’.

Doesn’t that happen to all of us??

If yes, then do comment in the comment section below and if No, then do so because I would love to know / learn what are you doing to hold on to your ‘take control of your life’ thought.

So here’s the solution to our appearing to be very small problem but indeed a life changing thing if taken care of:

1. Let’s have this ‘take control of my life’ thought atleast 4 times a day during or before we do our most important task of the day - 

a. During or before Breakfast

b. During or before Lunch

c. During or before evening tea/coffee/snack

d. During or before Dinner

All the blogs that I have read so far on improving our life’s and changing things in our life, living our life’s to the fullest - have always asked me to either get up early or sleep on time or think something when you wake up or write before I sleep, etc.

No offence to any of these ideas and they are brilliant but what if I just can’t do it. What if I can’t get up early everyday, what if the only thought I have when I do wake up is to get ready as soon as possible with the best outfit for the day, the weather check and what to make for breakfast and NOT BE LATE (yes, I HATE being LATE) oh, for the first time I realised that rhymes - ok, that’s not important.

Perhaps, we can use the worlds most easiest thing to do - i.e. TO THINK into thinking about ‘taking control of our life’s’ which means:

a. How can we bring the best of ourselves in our day-to-day tasks?

b. Is there anything new that I want to do in life or should I?

Now, LIST everything that comes in your mind when you ask yourself the above two questions. And remember that list during those 4 times in a day I mentioned above.

That’s it!

You will have your answers and trust me your subconscious mind will make the magic happen you have been waiting for a very VERY long time.

So let me know if this works because it has been for me for a while now. And I have met some beautiful souls for whom this has been working too.

It almost seems MAGICAL !

And as rightly said - MAGIC IS EVERYWHERE !

Have a magical day you all!

Cheers!

And thank you very much for reading.

Don’t forget to share and give a thumbs up and spread the magic across the masses.

¡Chao!

P.S: The next 10 years of my life is going to be enhanced and changed by the above tricks I have already started showing to the WORLD! TADAA !!
