DISQUS

Avani-Mehta · 1 year ago

You got me questioning myself ... how can we align our thoughts, feelings and actions? One answer that popped is by staying true to our values. Looking forward to what you have to say.

"If you are too busy working on the happiness and balance in your life and do not have the time to read the complete post, just skip over to the slideshare at the end of the post".

Maya, you are so considerate! That was just awesome of you to acknowledge that not everyone has the time to read full blog posts.

I'm with Jonathan on this one: it's a great article. Stumbled. :)

Hi Avani,
Yes, values are such an integral part of our happiness ... I hope that comes across well in my framework in my next post.
Thank you for taking the time to comment!

Hi Jonathan,
I am so glad you stopped by AND stumbled my article. Thank you so much. It means a lot when bloggers such as you can relate to my blog! I would love your feedback once I have published my framework!

Hi Vered,
Yes, it took me a while to realize that there are so many well meaning folk in the blog world, except they have only a limited amount of time. If I want to reach out, be heard and spoken to then it is my responsibility to deliver appropriately ...
I also enjoyed making the slideshow - it really challenges us to get our point across succinctly.
Thanks so much for the stumble!

Maya,

Excellent post! It is so important to find proper balance in your life, and live true to yourself. I can't wait to see what comes next!

I also love the slideshow idea! Incredible! Web readers do skim, and a quick visual can make all the difference. Subscribed and stumbled.

Keep up the excellent work!

How many times have you said, "All I want is to be happy"? So many of us get caught up in looking outside ourselves for happiness when, in fact, happiness is something that you can choose at any time.
You post clearly iterates it.

Good advice.

Hi Maya. Well, I read the post and watched the slideshare... what can I say, I was curious. What stood out for me here was the phrase, "...we have total control over how we internalize it all." Looking forward to Part 2.

Hi Maya - Your slide show is an ingenious concept. What a great addition to a blog post.

I love the part where you said "you should also agree that we should never be a victim of our experiences and situations". That is so true.

Maya!

Wow! This is a fantastic presentation! Your post got me so enthused -- because it's so well done. The slide show is awesome, and your writing is so simple, so free of clatter -- that it gets straight to the point.

Good job, Maya. I am very impressed. For what it's worth, I don't say that to people that often.

Hi Kimberlee,
Thank you for the subscribe and the stumble. I am so glad you liked the slideshow idea - I really want to reach people. And thank you for offering help out on your blog. The next on my todo for my blog is to actually add a blogroll and give back some link love to all the wonderful blogs that I have been reading and the people who have been visiting, you included. Thanks so much!

Hi Shameele,
I am so glad you visited and saw value in my post! I hope you come back to read part 2 of the post and let me know if it indeed makes sense.

Hi Davina,
I am working on writing up part 2 now. From what I know about you from your blog (highly introspective and free spirited), I look forward to hearing what you think of my framework. I am filled with nervous excitement :)

Oh Barbara,
When you stop by my blog and say a concept works I really feel my eyes tearing up :) with joy. Thank you. Thank you. Thank YOU!

Ari,
Thank you so much. I am so touched when people even stop by to comment, but your kind words mean so much more in terms of encouragement! This blog has been in my head for a long time and now that I am working on it I really really hope to make a difference in people's lives.

I love how you incorporated your framework presentation into your post! I think of this core connection as synchronizing your authentic voice.

Stacey,

Thank you for the feedback on the presentation.
You are so right about syncing the authentic voice. In my experience, even finding our authentic voice amidst all these life challenges is a big deal!

"How can we align our thoughts, feelings and actions?" One of the Traits of Stress-Hardy, Resilient People is

"They realize that the quality of our lives depends on how we focus our energy and our attention. They try to align their thoughts and actions with their values. They know how to motivate themselves to take action."

I agree, you have to take the time to discover your basic values.

Hi Maya,

How wonderful to discover your blog, made my day :-)
Your writing is clear and comes from an alignment of heart and mind.....expressing your authentic self beautifully....

And the slideshow - really impressive, Bravo!

Looking forward to the second part, and everything that follows on flowing from your Self.....

Hi Maya: It's so true that we have these three different voices all speaking from a different perspective that we need to coordinate. I also think that each one of us has a tendency to listen more to one over the other two. I loved the slide show presentation. I subscribed so that I don't miss the "thinkmaya framework for happiness and balance" (great name by the way).

Nikhil Bagri · 1 year ago

Dear Mayu,

Fully subscribe to the fact that my happiness and my emotions are in .. well my control

You cant imagine how elated I am to see someone 'document my mind' and more so that its you

Thanks
