Asking yourself Questions help you focus on the answers to create a purposeful and joyful life.

Wednesday wish-Soup for the Soul



Jamie's question to us this week-

what do you wish to savour?

Getting back my net connection calls for celebrations and I would love to savour the mouthwatering array of my favorite indian sweets like laddoos,basundi,rasamalai,jangri and gulab jamuns and not worry about adding the calories to my weight.
How wonderful it would be to have creamy icecream with hot chocolate sauce and fried nuts over them and not feel guilty of overeating!
On the philosophical note, I would love to have my soup for the soul.A daily dose of love,affection,attention,motivation and inspiration.It would be great to savour these pleasures and also offer these to those I meet online and offline.

Affirm-mantra-"I'll figure out the solution"


My mantra for this week is -

"I'll figure out the solution "

I came across this wonderful thought to ponder in the blog 'whitehottruth' and made the mantra card to remind myself that there is a solution for all problems.

We have to reframe how we see the problem as a difficulty or an opportunity for growth.
We have to find the key to our problems which have locked us in tough situations.
We have to change our perspective to see the problem from different angles.
We have to persevere and not give up hope.
We have to think out of the box.

Replace 'I don't know' with 'I'll figure it out '.
Everything is in our mind!

Wishing all a great week,
blessings for abundance,
sema
