Maternity Break

Getting back to the professional sphere can be challenging after a maternity break.

It could be the separation anxiety. The kid is 24*7 in front of your eyes, your priority- rather- the only work you entrust upon yourself when you take this break. And even the thought of not being able to see the kid as much as one has been doing sends shivers down the spine.

It could also be the anxiety towards the kids needs not being met or care not as much as a mother would do. Giving him time to evolve, to learn, to stimulate his gray cells, to teach him new things actively- all might not match the existing scale.

It could also be the anxiety towards the workplace, work and the outcome. The confidence in your skillset, the added stress, the exhaustion that might set in, the quality and the outcome of the work that one does- everything adds up to mount the challenge.

It could also be the doubt about losing the personal-professional balance. The stress and tiredness reaching the kid, and the upbringing and devoting time to kid leading to sub-par quality of work -both are dangerous and dreaded.

All in all, it is a challenge. Overcoming mental blocks, preparing physically for the time to come and "taking this step" will only solve the riddle and devise new ingenious solutions.

Self Care

When it comes to taking care of others, we are all very careful, cautious and fearful. Sadly, the same isn't true when it comes to self-care. More so for 'mothers' who put themselves at the fag end of the to-do lists, the place where they might not reach for months together.

Self care in terms of nutrition, health, leisure activity, physical exercise and talking to one's self should be a conscious choice. Unfortunately, this is regarding as a vice and not a virtue as per the Indian upbringing, where everything else should be given priority over and above this. Maybe, the moral science lectures need a tweaking and our parents need to re-wire themselves, as what the kids see at home is what they learn.

Self analysis

Our actions, our thoughts, and our words...none of them is totally pure. Every single day if we analyse each one of these, we will have something or the other on which we can and should work upon.

The reason for the impurity can be anything- the need of -acceptance, love, respect, equality, impartiality. And in search of these needs, we may be the one turning more impure. If we behave the way we are being treated like, then it only makes it worse.

Also, the need for all of this is the root cause. And overcoming this is evolving in the truest sense and the ultimate goal of spirituality.

One should not be influenced by the vibes and the behaviour of those around them. This is the ultimate meaning to awakening.

For everything, think about what is necessary, what is kind and what is true.

H(w)ealth

Restarting an old hobby can be challenging as the interests and priorities change with time. Blogger has been sidelined for a good long period. And now, I intend to re-kindle my love with writing. And a lot of things which used to define me.

Health is a blessing, a boon, a wish and a desire (for some).

Being infirm is a curse. And there are people who still find happiness amidst the disease. They are higher beings. And that is when one is awakening spirituality.

Healthcare industry can be best explained by patients and attendants of chronic illnesses. And to become the one who addresses their challenges is my dream (in the capacity of being a doctor).

It feels helpless and furious and depressing when one cannot do much despite the will.

Health is Wealth.
