Clutter free Life... The Need of the Hour....

-

Clutter is not just the waste found in our homes, attic or in the workplace, but most of us have it in our minds, which will constantly distract us from achieving great things. This must be true in most of the cases and so we look forward to leading a clutter free life, both in the house and in our minds.
A beautiful quote by Eleanor Brown can be recollected in this instance, as it explains it all.

"Clutter is not just the physical stuff. But it is the old ideas, toxic relationships or the bad habits, that doesn't support your better self."

According to me, here are seven simple yet effective means to achieve a clutter free life. They include:
  • Declutter your surroundings: Cluttered surroundings seem pretty messy and doesn't help us relax. So, try and practice discarding the unused stuff as early as possible. 
  • Learn to say a Firm NO: Practice being polite, but at the same time learn to say a firm NO, if you are not happy with anything happening around. This will help you have a pleasant mind and at the same time help you have a control on your self respect. 
  • Stop being a people pleaser: The most important truth one should know is that we cannot make everyone happy. So, stop being a people pleaser and act according to your heart..
  • Know your priorities: It is pretty imperative for an individual to understand and act by knowing their priorities. This will not only help in having things organised, but will also ensure a cool head.
  • Stay flexible: After understanding the priorities, being flexible accordingly can help an individual enjoy smooth and a healthy relationship.
  • Stay away from Negativity: Negativity is always in accord with positivity. It could be the same with materialistic things as well as the human relations. One should be capable of ignoring the negative people, with toxic thoughts and mean minds. Keeping a decent distance from the discouraging lot is always healthy for a clutter free mind.
  • Speak up for yourself: Speaking up for self is the most important skill an individual should learn and practice for the health of the mind and clutter free coexistence. Never throw an advantage by accepting all the blabber of people around you. Stand and speak for yourself if you are not wrong. 
Clutter could be anything that is standing between you and the kind of life you want to live. So simply, let us all get rid of the physical clutter for a healthy surrounding, and mental clutter for a peaceful existence.

Significance of Bommala Koluvu

                   F estivals are auspicious occasions to celebrate our well being. They spread in tranquility and are the right times to rejoice from our daily tumults.  The sacred Navrathri (Nine Nights), which are celebrated to symbolize the victory of good over the evil came to an end and so do the fun filled doll arrangements, the "BOMMALA KOLUVU",  which is carried over to us from our ancestors. What exactly is this Golu/ Bommala koluvu???                  To all those who are unfamiliar, it is a tradition where a collection of clay and wood idols of gods and goddess are displayed, which is carried over from one generation to other along with a new add-on every year.  Since my childhood, this festival conjures to me a special feast of celebration as it truly kindles the artistic flair buried deep inside us. The whole year we find our tradition coupled with our exc...

Chastity & Charity Begins at a [Colorful] HOME....

It's Life when it is Living at Home...   " A day starts at dawn and ends at dusk. And to someone like me both dawn and dusk are at HOME".  This is because, a HOME to me is the place where I can find enough solace, and so both my body and mind find their equilibrium. It is because of the unconditional love and the freedom that is filled in its air. At the end of a long, tiring day all I look up for is to rush home, sit back on my couch with legs stretched and have a steaming cup of coffee with my family. It is not just a block with rectangular walls and a roof but it is the only place on this earth which is a part of my mirth and melancholy. Filled with memories my 'HOME' is a place where all my imperfections seem perfect... It is the only habitat that bears all my interests and and of course my lazy habits and still smiles back at me...        My lovely warm little bed, which holds me till the sunrise...  A balcony proj...

"Mother You are Fantabulous" --- Mothering in my Mother's View....

-
I always wanted to start a blog of my own but was pretty unclear with what to write in it. But my passion towards writing made me frame this first blog post. I always wanted to make it special and so I am penning down about the most amazing person in my and of course in any individual's life, and that is none other than  MOTHER. Right from the moment we look into her eyes we start loving her and living her life. And so she does the same, practically even more, by showering her unconditional love and succeeds in transforming us into lovable and respectable citizens our society needs. She finds out all the means to comfort us, holds an open and a loving relationship with us and enjoys Motherhood , which she believes is her life's greatest gift. She regrows with us, remains our best buddy, cheers us when we are low, corrects us when we are wrong, and shares our pain and showers on us, pleasure through her unconditional love.      There are s...
