What I learned today - a practice

It’s pretty amazing to see people share their knowledge and wisdom to help people create better lives.

I noticed in my experience, when I look inward, I see how beautiful this world we live in and the people around us. I am grateful to live in a time where we are empowered to become more aware of our thoughts and actions.

Points of awareness: What do I want to optimize in my life? Living and working joyfully. It starts with the self.

Use and practice what serves people and us better, the world around us.

Unlearn the unconscious habits of mind that ultimately keeps us stagnant, fearful, angry, agitated, which eventually hurts the people we serve and us as human beings.

Tonight, I looked up to the sky and witnessed the colors of the sky perform its orchestra of colors; adorned with orange, magenta, purple, and dark blue.

These past few days, I witnessed the human power of caring and compassion. I learned so much about resilience, vision, vulnerability, and the strength of the spirit. Joy is accessible. Happiness is right in front of us when we really want to be happy and fulfilled.

So here is a little mental exercise that was inspired by a TEDxTalk by Amit Sood, MD of Mayo Clinic. I am glad I found this video because it helps to put things into perspective for the times when I feel sad about something that I continuously hear, or see in the world around us. I hope you find wisdom and hope in it as well, to empower you to practice self-care and be joyful, compassionate, and kind.

Gratitude, hello

Every day I will sit in silence with you

Practice a meditation called to thank you

I want to be conscious and awake

closing my eyes as I take note

how each of my dear five people

brought me joy today

Surrender. The best is yet to come and there is so much opportunity in this world. You are the creator. Much love.

Twenty years ago, Dr. Amit Sood, a Professor of Medicine at Mayo Clinic, came to the U.S. thinking he was coming to the Disneyland of the world. He expected everyone here to be very happy. What he saw surprised and shocked him.
