Factory Reset Mode

HERE are some weeks where one's brain just refuses all pressures. It becomes reflective, stops stressing about things, ignores the undone work, and the unnecessary tribulations just vanish!

- Rubi Chakravarti

The Universe decided that since I was rapidly becoming unhinged, the only option was to reset my brain to pause, reflect and relax! I was in factory reset mode, and voila! A beatific smile never left my face. I realised that listening to my mind and body more was the key. I stopped trying to 'people-please' and learned that the most important word in my vocabulary was 'NO'!

Whether it means going out, a 'must-do' meet and greet, or a party with people one barely knows. One should be unafraid to say, 'Sorry, my mind and body are in factory-reset mode!' Giving oneself permission to do nothing is also an art.
