The writer says that if we start each day by focussing on ourselves, then we would be more connected to our feelings and in turn be happier.
How often have you given yourself a moment of silence to ask “Okay, how am I feeling?”, before that big meeting or before that product launch? – A lot!
Why? It is because that meeting, that product really matters to us. It’s going to help us succeed and achieve our big goals.
But, the bigger question to ask is , “Why do we forget to do this each and every day? “Isn’t each day important? Isn’t each day a step towards achieving that big goal? So why don’t we do it? — We are busy. Period. We just don’t have the time to pay attention to each and every small tiny event that happens in our life.
It’s true, however it is not a very good strategy if you want to succeed in your life.
Success is not a big gold apple to be consumed towards the end, it’s a process. It’s a lot of hard-work, failure, emotions, adventure, patience, love – success is all this combined.
To reach there we’ve got to start with ourselves. Keep ourselves mindful, peaceful, give our brain that capacity to deal with almost anything and achieve success almost every day.
So, how do we do that?
All you’ve got to do is ask yourself – 3 important questions, every day, as soon as you wake up, and then get on with your day.
Don’t belittle this ritual calling it simple meditation fluff and dismissing it. Researchers say, that when we literally name the feeling, we are a step closer towards understanding ourselves, our goals, our problems.
As Dr. Daniel Siegal rightly said, “Name it, to tame it”. When we feel a strong emotion or are overwhelmed, our brain starts pumping stress hormones to our body which brings us to a high-pressured situation, our muscles tense up and we start displaying the fight response. When we name what we feel our brain immediately calms down, sending soothing signals. This gives your brain time to catch up on immediate response and organize your reaction.
Whether you are a morning person or a night person, it doesn’t matter, as soon as you start your day ask yourself these 3 questions and be in-line with your emotions and your dreams.
This little ritual is most helpful if you’re someone who gets too emotional too easily, gets scared, suffer from a lot of anxiety or going through a phase of crisis.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
