11. Imposter syndrome it cannot be over with completely but can be addressed faster through mindfulness. 
12. Mindfulness, Intentional living is resetting self every few minutes a day. Reset to sit straight. Reset to answer questions effectively. etc
13. Do things that are important. Things that feed your spirit. 
14. The universe checks in with us, to make sure we are growing.

Reset

It is okay to Reset

There are days when there is so much happening around us
 and within us, it may feel like we don't know where we are heading

It is okay to Reset on those days

Reset on the basic necessities 

Reset on the things that are not working

Reset on the things that you like doing

With a Reset mindset, life will move forward more refreshed

Resetting....

My mind is the key to my paradise

⭐️Here are some enlightening points from the wonderful speaker BK Shivani:✨

“Taking charge of my mind is the simplest thing to do.

Trying to control other minds is impossible.

We can advice, we can instruct but we cannot control other's mind.

Even if someone changes they choose to change because of themselves and it is not becuase of me.

When my mind is stable and clear then I can think of solutions to respond to the situation outside me.

Situation and People are all outside of me and they will not be the way I want it to be.

Only my mind, my feelings is in me and in my control.

When two energies meet, we influence each other.

Self-Check: Do not allow bad feelings to enter my energy space. Thus we can retain the paradise inside us.
Just absorb the positive energy of others and leave the negative energy outside.
Just like at the airport security check where certain things are not allowed inside the country.

Meditation is a form of quarantine for the mind.

My mind is listening to me. It listens to the self-talk that I do.

Changing my habit is the easiest thing to do. Completely in my control. Not dependent on any one or anything.

Without getting irritated but with ease, calm, inner power, stability -> same scene, same behavior can I respond better.

Don’t give my power of my mind and my feelings to others, by expecting others to be my way.

Don’t come home depleted, it will deplete the vibrations of other members of the family.

It is our responsibility to conserve the positive energy we have and bring it home for good use for the rest of the day. “
