May 28 Cluster fuck

Cuba reminded me that when you get passed the expectations, you begin to appreciate the beauty of it again. I can think of many facets of my life this lesson needs to be applied to right now. Navigating through my hormones, the sleep deprivation, and sudden stress - I've lost perspective. I've forgotten how it feels to just sit down and enjoy a cup of fucking coffee. I know how to pound them down quick to get me through my day. But is caffeine even really working for me? While I've been working to keep my mind sharp, I've forgotten to sharpen the damn tool.

My mind is a major cluster fuck right now. Well actually, its been this way since I had Rihaan I miss living the moment as it happens. I miss being present and aware of my existence. Mom-life is a zombie-life. If you look at me closely, I look like one of those people in a rat race running from point A to B with 5 almost empty buckets on my arms. When the whole objective is about delivering the water from one end to the other with poise and grace. I can't get passed how many buckets, the weight, the struggle. The buckets are just the vessel Sarika. Focus on the contents (I tell myself),

Maybe I've taken on more than I should after having Rihaan. Or Maybe I'm waiting for my brain to grow so that I can accommodate all of THIS. What i know for certain, is that I need to work smarter and not harder.

Have you ever contemplated brain lobotomy after an embarrassing moment, a bad break-up, or finding out something you wish you never did? I never really thought about it until a friend brought it up. For those who don't know, a brain lobotomy is a neurosurgical procedure that consists of cutting the connections to and from the prefrontal cortex (courtesy of wikipedia).It's a procedure used to control or reduce the effects of a whole bunch of mental disorders. In a nutshell, it disassociates emotional attachment to painful memories. I'm sure if it were an effective and successful procedure it would be as common as Botox. Sure it looks painful (seriously gory and painful) but let's pretend it's not. My question is, if the practice was safe, affordable and widely available would you consider it? Would you want to disconnect your feelings and emotions from a particular distressing memory? I like to believe that there is a whole lot of unnecessary bullshit I have put up...

The Negative on Negativity

I can’t help but live a miserable life if all I am doing is thinking negatively . Negativity robbed me of my ability to transform, grow, succeed, have faith, love, live and to feel each moment. Getting it all back was difficult. But it started with wanting it. Then, to desire for it. Practice it. Adapt to it. And then live by it. Start with feeling again. Meditate on how to feel. Meditate on how it would feel to feel again. To feel alive. To feel thirsty and hungry for success, balance and completeness. To feel happy when you wake up. To feel content with your life. To love your job, to love others and to love the life you live. Wake up… not just for your job. But to wake up to your life and to live your life. To love your life. To feel this incredible energy around you. An energy that thrives off you and others around you. Feel it. Start with wanting it. Then practice it. Live it. Every day.

I never truly understood the saying “forgive and forget”. It is hard enough to differentiate our feelings from someone or something that hurt us, let alone forget it all together? I must admit, I haven’t quite mastered the skill of forgiveness, which according to my work mom (yes, I had a work mom when I worked at Rogers!) meant the same thing as forgetting. Work mom also pointed out that I have a tendency to hold grudges. But I know that if I’m holding a grudge it’s because I’ve made it quite clear that forgiveness has not been granted to you. This whole paragraph pretty much sums up my issues related to grudges and forgiveness- clearly! It’s something that I know I need to work on. Part of the People Detox is letting go and you can’t let go of someone or something if you’re planning on holding a grudge. It’s a catch 22 for me, I want to let it go, but I don’t know how, maybe I can figure out how, but will it be convincing enough?! Carrie Bradshaw from Sex in the City wrote, “Can you...
