Anti-ageing Therapy..

So here I am, arrived where most girls never wanna go.just turned 30, and dying to write about it. It’s more then a week since trying to gather some great words about turning 30. So exited! So much to share about turning 30, I mean c’mon it's a milestone of your life. (Now I actually understand that pain of turning 30. Oh God Why! Why me! Why!)

You are 30! You know better now, you are so clear and mature. You know most about life, you have it all figured out and you know what you want, what you have achieved! (That’s what you'd think!)You have a life partner, have a house, You are financially secure (what does that mean!), you have 10 years old license (just got it 2months back) Now the only question remains is that how will you contribute to the world, what do you do to be remembered by, plan and start saving for retirement (planning to start my career!!)That is what happens when you are thirty! Right! (Or at-least in my dreams)

All I now is, I am still alive! Happy! and beautiful. Not to mention the stress to figure out my career. But oh well, who is perfectly happy! The thing that matters to me and I think about is what have I done in THIRTYYYY years that I can be proud of! (Oh gosh! it's high time to look in to it)

And again it’s not like I have not achieved any thing! My biggest achievement so far (the best achievement any one could ever have) is, My awesome hubby and my gorgeous delicate flower. Whom I am super proud to have achieved and she runs my life pretty much (isn't she most adorable, now you know why I am super happy!)

Let’s do a little analysis of 29 years of my life, shall we!

What I have learned so far is that I have learned to love my self. It took me good while to be able to love my self for what I am. (You know those complexes about your self when just turn 20, and never good enough for your expectation. trying to be like someone. but never sure what you really like)yeah took me a decade to understand and like my self.

I have learned to let go and forgive. Understood that no point carrying silly baggage of anger and hate. all it does that harm me.

I have fallen over my nose thousands of times for not listening to my heart, so now I know for sure that listen to my heart always always!

I have also learned to move on! (Which I badly needed)

Other then that, most people at-least figures out their personal style by thirty. In my case I have to first start earning, before I can even think about figuring out my fashion style. But I have to say that I am managing to dress well enough to hide my bulges!

What will I do,

Its sure is the time to start looking after my self very closely. Past thirty if you are not careful you could get in trouble later. Now I am gonna take my health, sleep and food very seriously. Because if you really wanna save your self from huge depression of turning 40, only tool you have is to feel youthful and great about your self, so I my mission starts now.

Most important of all is to figure out to be happy in the moment, which I am practicing very hard. I believe that To feel great at any stage of your life all you need is to be happy and healthy. And to find happiness in every little thing there is no better tool then being grateful. I have started to write gratitude journal for a year and it changes your perspective towards every little thing. You are much much more satisfied, appreciative and happy.

Ps: one more thing I love about being thirty is that, those first days of sex are over, when you are overwhelmed, curious and confused, what all you tried to know secretly is miles away from reality. And you make stupid mistakes. I am glad to have been there..! done that and know that is beautiful:-)

And…And…And (wait I am not finished yet!) Beeeest of allll is that scary day has come and gone I finally am 30! it in it’s self it very reliving. You know when people freak you out with all scary stories about turning thirty and how you don’t want that day to arrive when you are really scared of something! Oh that anxiety of it’s coming soon! It’s over I am thirty

Tell you what! It was all right actually. I felt very good it feels like an achievement in it’s self. Don’t worry dive in  it’s beautiful. J

PPS: If you still want to know more, why turning 30 is awesome or wanna make your self a little light from all turning 30 pressure. Check out this post, I came across this and could not stop laughing.  It’s awesome and super funny!

NEW YEARS RESOLUTION !!

TO DO WHAT HEART SAYS!!  to follow what comes from within,  Pay conscious attention to the voice that comes from inside.  Have you guys felt that!  Like some voice comes from inside and telling you to do something, It’s more like nagging or knocking you to start doing it.

I have had that a lot of time, when I look back now I realise that how I have been ignoring that voice over some meaningless things.  Like I have been feeling urge to Illustrate and design for as long as I can remember and I sit once in a year to do that as well but all other time I am like let’s watch some T.V or do something else and then will do that. And that time never comes. I seem to drag it make excuses for so long that the inner calling eventually melts down. But then it does come again and again.

Worst of all I have been complaining to god that why is my career not moving ahead, Why I am not lucky enough to just get some opportunity!! I complain when I am frustrated but when I consciously look back I realise that it’s only because of the missing effort and nothing else.

I have always been waiting for a miracle from God, But the problem is that I am asking God questions, I am getting answers too. Just not choosing to pay attention to it or act on it.  I know that I need be constant with my work and it requires more effort.

Now I decide to pay full attention to inner voice and act on it.  And I can surely do with some help; I would love inspirations and reminders.  Let’s see who can help me stick to my resolution.  Biggest helper has to be myself.

I will keep you informed on  how is my new years resolution going :-)

Love

What Inspires you MOST!

                             My most beautiful inspiration is MUSIC:-) 

I just love it.  When I have my earplugs on with my favourite romantic music and doing my work or I am by my self nothing inspires me more.

Even if I am on the move, tube or bus, having beautiful music in my ears nothing beats that. While on the move with music every stranger around me feels sweet and connected. The life feels to be in a rhythm.  Even the simplest activity like people getting on and off the trains feels to be in flow and romentic. I am able to enjoy every moment and movement. It’s not explainable but awesome.

The other thing I enjoy most is sitting and working in a coffee shop with my music.  I am working, reading or illustrating while sipping coffee. My favourite melodies flowing in my ears in a warm room filled with coffee aroma. I am surrounded by so many people but still alone. Taking in every moment.  In this time I love to notice people closely.  It’s like understanding human nature deeply. I just adore this beautiful feeling. Someone is deeply engaged in their work and others are spending quality time with their loved once, some friends are taking precious time out to unload long pending gossip, while someone is having quite time with their coffee and favourite book. Coffee shop is my most favourite workspace. I hate it when they kick me out from their on the closing time.

Walking nature with my music and spending time with animals soothes me too.

Well there is a long list, I better stop here or there will be a blast!

PS: If you happen to read this and feel like sharing something, please make a move. I am desperate to here from you. YES YOU! I am talking to you only , C’mon go ahead say something !!
