Blown away. I was blown away by this book. It was everything a therapist’s memoir should be. I love books that demystify therapy, so I was hooked from the first few chapters, but I didn’t expect it to be a book that gave so much! Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: A Therapist, Her Therapist…

Looking for something to deliver tough love style inspiration, I picked up this book last week. Was I inspired? Yes. Did it last? Only time will tell, though it has already started waning. I blame it on the book. There are three sections in this book: Perception, Action and Will. While the first section is…

It’s Day 26 of the 30 Days of Gratitude challenge, and today’s prompt is Earth. I’m grateful for the bounty of earth. There are so many things we take for granted, so many things that keep us alive and healthy, so many things that make life livable that are given to us freely by earth….

I’m not sure if I am truly grateful for them, since they are the chief culprit behind my weight gain that I incessantly complain about, but I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t grateful for them at all. Snacks. So many mixed emotions 😒 Snacks are late night company while I try…

It’s Day 24 of the 30 Days of Gratitude challenge, and today’s prompt is Humour! Humour is an integral part of my life.

I like reading fiction in one or two sittings. I like total immersion in the life of the characters and drinking it all in at one go. Now this was not possible since the last couple of years because of thesis writing and hence I had largely avoided fiction. Last week I picked up one…

What a lovely prompt for today! It’s Day 22, and Home is the prompt from Positively Present for the ongoing 30 Days of Gratitude challenge. To me, home signifies safety, warmth, and serenity. It’s the absence of ugly conflicts, and a place where one has the luxury to be unabashedly authentic. It’s the absence of…

Today’s prompt from Positively Present for the ongoing 30 Days of Gratitude challenge is Inspiration ✨ This post is the 182nd post of this blog, written as part of a challenge I started in December last year called #365daysofwriting. This blog came into existence because of that challenge. I know, I know it’s probably very…

It’s Day 20 already! Today’s prompt from Positively Present is Health. After three years of putting on weight, losing hair and fitful sleep, I’m grateful that I’m healthy enough to make it to the finish line. I’m grateful that I haven’t had any major illness that could have obstructed my PhD work. My supervisor being…
