    How to stamp out negative thoughts

    Ever wondered how some people always seem to be positive, no matter what? Even when you expect them to sulk and react and rant? Happy people have a strategy for staying that way. It is called positive thinking and it is powerful. Also, much easier said than done. The thing with life is, some days are good and it is easy to stay motivated, stay positive. Other days, not so much, when nothing seems to go right. So how do…

  • To let go doesn't mean to stop caring; it means I can´t do it for someone else. To let go is not to cut myself off; it's the realization that I can´t control another. To let go is not to enable, but to allow learning from natural consequences. To let go is to admit powerlessness, which means the outcome is not in my hands. To let go is not to try to change or blame another; I can change only myself. To let go is not to care for, but to care about. To let go is not to fix, but to be supportive. To let go is not to judge, but to allow another to be a human being. To let go is not to be in the middle arranging all the outcomes, but to allow others to affect their own outcomes. To let go is not to be protective; it is to permit another to face reality. To let go is not to deny, but to accept. To let go is not to adjust everything to my desires, but to take each day as it comes and to cherish the moment. To let go is not to nag, scold, or argue, but to search out my own shortcomings and to correct them. To let go is not to criticize and regulate anyone, but to try to become what I dream I can be. To let go is not to regret the past, but to grow and live for the future. To let go is to fear less and love more.

  • Quiet the mind and the soul will speak . . This is one of my favorite photos among all the Buddha photos I've clicked. The brass statue is HUGE and at the time I clicked it, sat right on the middle of the courts at the Karnataka Chitrakala Parishat during a major crafts fair. . . . . #incredibleindia #100happydays #100daysofhappiness #indiaphotos #buddha #indianphotographersgplus #indianshutterbugs #instagood #lifethroughmylens #quotesofinstagram #quotestoliveby #wordsofwisdom #wordsoftheday #thursdaythoughts

  • I downsized my coffee cup. It's a100 ml cup. Been trying to cut down. I was asked why don't I simply give it up? Seriously? Give up coffee? 🙄 But yes, I don't drink as much coffee as I used to. After my first tumbler of filter coffee, this will be my second cup. . Okay. .

  • Tomato Rice is one of my favorite one dish meals. . Mostly I make the tomato mix and store, to quickly make tomato rice when I feel like, and to also use the mix as a side dish for rotis, dosas or even as a base for another dish in a pinch. . Today I just made the pressure cooker version for a change. So yum! There was papad, cut mango impromptu pickle, raita and salad to go with it. . Sometimes I make it with millets and it's great. . . . #100happydays #100daysofhappiness #tomatorice #onedishmeal #lunchbox #homecooking #homemade #diabetes #foodstagram #foodblogger #foodie #foodpics

  • Phirni, a delicious sweet dish that's not cloyingly sweet. I keep the added sweetness minimal by relying on dried fruits to compensate. Healthier option. . My cup has almonds and dates to make it more diabetes friendly. Yep, an occasional indulgance is quite ok. . Did I mention I made this with poha? Iron rich option. Also tastes great with millets. . . . . #100happydays #100daysofhappiness #diabetes #happychildrensday #foodstagram #instafood #yum #desserts #indianphotographersgplus #indianshutterbugs #foodblogger #foodphotography #foodie #foodpics #foodgasm #foodiesofinstagram #dryfruits
