Here’s to 20 years of conversations!!
@shru2kill
Request you to please let us know in comments, what you would like us to talk about. We want to talk about how we are all the same, struggling with the same things feeling the same emotions and finding ways to cope and hold it all together.
What should be the frequency?
What should be the time?
As someone suggested on today’s live, next week, we will talk about “how to manage pressure”.
How does one deal with the pressure of passion?
And what do you do when you have too many passions? And when you change passions?
@shru2kill a trained art based therapist and someone who has done a lot of studying and work over the last few years on mental health, breakdown her approach . This was a conversation we had LIVE. So please do excuse the madness and a giggle fits.😂 Undisclosed Location

My parenting goals
The hardest part of being a parent is never knowing if you’re doing the right thing at a particular point in time.
Other than the most obvious parenting for me is largely a ‘learning on the job’ type of situation.
I try my best to be mindful about not repeating the mistakes that perhaps my parents made while raising me. And yet a lot of my parenting does come from them.
Over the years, I have tried to have an honest look inwards and gain knowledge about how best to behave around one’s children. Despite my best efforts, I have been harsh and mean at times, lost my patience often, gotten angry, even raised my voice sometimes and have felt terrible about it afterwards and sometimes even while I’m spiralling. 🤦♀️
In such situations instead of badgering myself for my failings, I have been patient and kind because I want my daughter to see and emulate that. I hope that will teach her something about human failings, forgiveness and equip her to deal with conflict better .
I have always made it a point to acknowledge my behaviour and apologise to my daughter if I have hurt her feelings.
As for myself I have sat quietly and listened to my husband point out my weak moments as a mother without getting defensive and combative and I continue to seek guidance from him and other fellow parents, whenever I feel lost, which is more often than not.
I know that even with the best intentions, I will cause some sort of damage, as is the fate of all parenting. It can only be good enough and nothing more.
In the end I hope that my daughter knows that it is my love for her that has been my greatest impetus to improve myself as a person and if I can change even a small thing about myself, then that’ll be the greatest testament of my love for her.
And I hope she can forgive me for the times I was a shitty mom.🙈

#parenting #emotionalintelligence #eiwithshruti #selfawareness #shruphotodiary
In 2020 I gifted myself a course in Applied Buddhist Psychology and it changed my life.
Sharing a few of my lessons here.
It requires a sense of self-enquiry, critical thinking and contemplation to be able to really benefit from its teachings.
The ability to sit with uncomfortable thoughts and give yourself honest answers is imperative.
Other than the ones I have mentioned in my post, there is another lesson that has given me some level of clarity.
Almost all things in our lives come from dependant arising. We give meaning and value to things.
A pen, is a pen until it is “my”pen and then my outlook and my attachment to it changes. The same goes for clothes, for bags, for shoes, a job, a holiday, mothers, fathers, kids, friends etc. All of these become important the moment I add “my” as a prefix.
So when you feel burdened by something just take away its value since you’re the one who gives it value in the first place.
And if you would want to use it positively then think of it as “our” or “all”. Our mothers or all mothers.
Our planet, our children or all children.
That way you learn to treat all sentient beings & things with respect and dignity and not just “your” people and “your” things.
I have benefited hugely in how I perceive things, what things colour my judgement and what increases my suffering.
Will try and share more.
I hope it helps others get a clearer view of things.
Grateful to all my teachers for trusting me with their wisdom. 🪷
