DARE TO REALLY CHALLENGE?👇🏽⁣⁣⠀
⠀
🤔#challengeaccepted By now, everyone has seen an overwhelming amount of people embrace this challenge & show their support towards other women, & that is hella great! BUT, the disheartening part about it is that the real intention & message behind it was completely lost in translation cuz we are so conditioned to simply accept what many are doing & sign up for it, no further questions asked #herdmentality ⠀
⠀
🤦🏾‍♀️Oh, there's something trending let me get in on it without taking 2 mins to actually pause, Q, 'google' before I do. How many took the time to look up the real meaning before posting a pic (not after the fact)? & how many posted a follow-up pic to clarify the real message? Sadly, even that has gone viral with extremely contradicting versions of its real origin & meaning #whenyouknowbetterdobetter⠀
⠀
❌ I got a lot of flak for sharing my opinion on stories, honestly, that doesn't bother me, but what does bother me is how limiting those beliefs are! While I know/get the intention behind the trending hashtag(s) not everything is an IG trend, none of it is any real use only if embraced for a day or two & then forgotten! ⠀
⠀
💪🏽 Women/humans supporting & empowering each other needs to happen every damn day, hell, I would know, building a business, both on the receiving & giving end. ⠀
⠀
❓But hey, here's a Q, how often do we simply scroll past someone's post without engaging even though we truly like their content (but only in our head cuz it's too much ego to actually like/comment/share? or is being a lurker far more satisfying?). Or is that not considered as supporting & empowering others? Actions speak louder than any hashtag/trend/image/words. When will we ever get that? Oh 2020, YOU are such an eye-opener! ⠀
⠀
🛑 "If you really want to wade in, assess why you feel the need to & if doing so will actually help anyone. But you can also just swipe out of IG & go sign a petition/make a donation/learn something new about an issue that’s important to you...Then take the little pile of energy you’ve saved & turn your attention to taking the actual #2020challenge: Doing the work to fight for real change” - @mashable

ROADTRIP & PODCASTS👇🏽⁣⁣⠀ ⠀ 🚘 Thi

ROADTRIP & PODCASTS👇🏽⁣⁣⠀
⠀
🚘 This past weekend, we planned an impromptu 3-day getaway & headed out for some much-needed rest, relaxation & human interaction #maskup #socialdistance, etc. And nope, it wasn't to Iceland 😉 but to another fave place(s), more on stories.⠀
⠀
💑 I've said this before, listening to our favorite podcasts (& discussing an episode in detail) while roadtripping is one of hubby's & my fave things to do! Always helps us connect on a much deeper level & I am thankful that we share a common fondness/appreciation for quite a few podcasters (& of course, I'll take all the credit for introducing them to him. Have you checked out the 50+ best of the best podcasts list on the blog yet? 💁) During these 3 days, I realized just how much I had missed this aspect of our relationship (in the last 4.5 months). Sure, we do listen to them at home, but it isn't quite the same (if you know you know). ⠀
⠀
🎧 And yesterday while driving, we might have even come up with a new goal (& another 'crazy' idea) as @naveenjainceo shared several golden nuggets on @jayshetty 's On Purpose Podcast (some life coaching from my end may or may not have been involved, once a life coach always a life coach 😇 ⠀
⠀
🔥 As an individual, as a woman of passion ('obsession'), as an advocate for a healthy lifestyle (who also happens to love Ayurveda & practice Sun Salutation), as a parent, as an entrepreneur, as someone with crazy vision/dreams, as someone who comes from a similar background as him (oh! not to forget, as someone who also wakes up at 4 am), so much of what Naveen shared on Jay's podcast hit home! ⠀
⠀
👏🏽 "Dream so big that people think you are absolutely crazy!" "The ONLY thing that is NOT possible is the one that YOU believe is NOT possible. If you can imagine it, you can create it! So go out and dream so big, and dream of crazy ideas and DON'T look for anyone's approval. Know that if you are getting everyone's approval you are NOT thinking crazy enough." — Naveen Jain ⠀
⠀
📚 Now off to get my hands on the book, Moonshots, & looking up more info on @myviome , all while figuring out the next steps to achieve those 25819 crazy ideas #babysteps⠀

❓In the last few months, the more 1:1 interactions I've with people, the more I've been asked where I get my confidence from? What if I were to ask YOU, where does your confidence or the lack of it come from? Seriously, think about it & makes notes.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
💪🏽 I had never really given it much thought until recently. I do walk into a room as if I own the room (well at least 80% of the time, big believer in the 80-20 rule). ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
✅ That's not to say that I don't have any insecurities, heck I do, just like every single human. But I don't dwell on it, I am aware, I acknowledge, & most importantly, I'm SECURE ABOUT MY INSECURITIES! ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
❌ I do NOT suffer from the most common symptoms; people-pleasing, fear of judgment, seeking others' approval, etc, etc. 'oh, what will people say/think'? Well, guess what? None of those people who talk/comment/gossip come & work hard for you (live our lives). I still distinctly remember 'preaching' this to my parents over & over, probably since I was 6-7 years old. Yep, true story, no clue where I got that from!?⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
🎯 None of this is ARROGANCE, it is knowing myself, my values, & focusing on my family rather than interfering in others' business. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
💃🏽 I know that I do not know everything (duh!). If it's important to me then I'll make an attempt to learn, if it's not then why does it even matter? I am well aware that I probably make way more mistakes than I can count, but that doesn't hamper my spirits cuz that's how I learn/grow/evolve (not worried if I look stupid, I've at least tried). ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
🤔 Was I always this way? Yes & No. While certain aspects of it are 2nd nature to me there are other areas that I've consistently worked on & cultivated over the years (still do). ⁣⁣Does it mean that I am always absolutely confident? I wish, but when I catch myself losing confidence I remind myself of all of the above (& more) & bring my A-game! I'm forever a work in progress & none of this is one & done!⁣⁣⁣💄If all else fails, a little bold lip always helps #punintended
⁣⁣⁣
🚩 Ultimately, it all begins & ends with one's core values & mindset! How YOU fight the low self-esteem demons? #confidenceiscontagious

🌞 Summer screams traditions — camping, hiking

🌞 Summer screams traditions — camping, hiking, road tripping, flying, adventuring, etc, etc [ #Ad] While this summer is looking a lot different, who's to say that we can’t have fun & even create new traditions and make lots and lotsa memories while at it!? ⠀
⠀
🏕️ With a little bit of creativity, plenty of imagination, and a great deal of help from our friends at @Amazon and @Alexa99 , my little one & I spent an afternoon together converting his room into a jungle. Now he can go camping whenever he fancies, start a campfire, make S’mores, and read camp stories, all while listening to campfire sounds. Swipe right to catch some #behindthescenes transformation.⠀
⠀
🏞️ Amazon Prime introduced #CampPrime to help keep our kids (and us parents) entertained, active, & engaged no matter where we are. From instructions for building a bug house to everything you need for campfire storytelling, the Camp Prime Handbook is full of activities & ideas for summer family fun. ⠀
⠀
🔦 Camp Prime is free & available for all families to enjoy, but Prime members can extend their experience with additional Camp Prime-themed content including Prime Video, Prime Reading, Amazon Music, and more.⠀
⠀
🌴 Amazon Prime is also donating to Boys & Girls Clubs to help keep kids engaged this summer. You too can help support your local @bgca_clubs by selecting them as your charity of choice on AmazonSmile, donating directly through AmazonSmile Charity Lists, or simply saying “Alexa, donate to the Boys and Girls Clubs.” ⠀
⠀
🔥 Visit Amazon.com/campprime to participate in the curated activities, and put your own spin on the Camp Prime activities. After all, isn’t that what family traditions are all about, making things our own! ⠀
⠀
🐒 Head over to the blog for more fun Summer activity ideas and stay tuned on stories to see how we (I mean our little one really) are enjoying our little indoor-jungle-camp!⠀

⠀
🗣️ My Head: If I ever go back and join a company it will be to work for people like @vishen @Mindvalley! ⠀
📣 My Inner Voice: Immediately, within a spilt-second, a voice coming from the bottom of my gut, matter-of-factly said 'HECK NO babe, you DO NOT want to work FOR people like Vishen, but you want to work WITH people like him'. At that moment, I literally had goosebumps all over... This weekend, as I stood there in the middle of my kitchen, trying to decipher the meaning of what I had just heard, it literally gave me the chills... ⠀
⠀
📚 Over the weekend, I finished the book Buddha and The Badass written by @Vishen Lakhiani (hence the above inner dialogue). This book resonated with me on such a deep level that I genuinely felt as if Vishen had really written it for me. Left me wondering if I would have felt the same way if I had consumed the content of this book a couple of months back? Well, I am not sure!⠀
⠀
🔆 But I do strongly believe that we all receive the answers to our questions when we are really ready for it (and when we most need it)! And then it is totally up to us to act on it or ignore it! You can only lead a horse to water...
⠀
✅ In my case, it is almost always AFTER I try something on my own, form a thought/opinion/experience, ONLY then am I presented with the answers, and when I finally connect the dots those have been the most powerful realizations, every.single.time! And hence, the answers are even more valuable (and sacred) to me than if I had known about it/them right off the bat. ⠀
⠀
🔥 Not sure if all of this or if any of this is making any sense to you? But I want to leave you by saying, please DO NOT ignore the signs and let go of the opportunities that come knocking at your door, sometimes the knock might not be as loud, so use all your 6 senses (and more) and grab onto it so you don't REGRET later (opportunity doesn't knock twice)! #MotivationMonday⠀

Alexa, Start My Workout! 💪🏼 [ #Ad ] But wait

Alexa, Start My Workout! 💪🏼 [ #Ad ] But wait, where did these two jokers come from!? 😱 #AskAlexa // You know I love my home workouts, and given the current circumstances, I had been trying quite a few workouts at-home, thanks to @amazon Fire TV Stick, until I hurt my back a few weeks ago. Getting back into a workout regimen after a break is forever a challenge. My hack has always been to ease into it with some Bollywood Dance workouts, but doing so with a toddler in tow always turns into this (well, how do you even describe this!?), especially when we are a dance-loving family! Though we do better at free form dancing than following instructions, can you tell!? 😅💃🏻 👨‍👩‍👦

🔥 I recently tried to set up customized workouts with Alexa blueprints, swipe right to see how I did it and what happened after. Also, be sure to check out the several workouts available to you at-home through the @Amazon Fire TV 4K -> @dailyburn @onepeloton @beachbody on Demand, @bollyxfitness to name a few 🏋️‍♀️

🙋🏽‍♀️ On that note, stay tuned on my stories to see how I am upping my game at setting up our 'Smart Home' with @alexa99

🎥 P.S. Hurting my back as well as recording this video both happened in May (in case you were wondering). Also, ignore the raw quality of the video, we were having way too much fun 😇

Self-doubt is a sneaky B****! It creeps up on ya w

Self-doubt is a sneaky B****! It creeps up on ya when you think you are better than that, hello there reality check!⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
🤯 Happened to me at the onset of this 'new normal', when we'd all get on zoom calls w friends and swap stories for hrs across time zones.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
☎️ On that 1st call, I was like, wow, you all are making great changes, but honestly, not much has changed for us in our household except V isn't going to the office, A isn't going to school. While that didn't bother me that late Sat night, it was the only thing that was on my head most of Sun. I was like, 'damn, are V & I doing it all wrong? Friends are waking up late, cooking more, working out, playing more with kids, sneaking in hugs/kisses, etc, but things have only got busier for us. Are we not making the most of these unusual times?' ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
💡That Q messed with me until I jumped in the shower later that day, & finally, the light bulb went off! My inner voice — 'Kusum, you fool, your lives haven't changed much now cuz V & you’ve both worked all these years to create the life you have/like/love, one that serves your/family's best interests, at.all.times! I mean, are you by default spending more time with A? Of course! Do YOU want to wake up late? HELL NO! You always cook, you both mostly eat healthy, work out, etc. You are an entrepreneur, things completely changed for your business, you had to come up with Plan B & C & work even harder, friends have secure corporate jobs & don't have the same worries, V's work has always been demanding & with him taking on a new role things only got busier, & then there is A's explosive energy. So get over it already' ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
📣 That moment, my self-doubt quickly vanished & my confident proud self reappeared!⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
🥅 I don't typically compare, I ward off any self-doubt by addressing it, cuz I know what's imp to V & me, I'm only focused on how we can better ourselves, individually/together! My friends' lifestyles are their own! BIG 'aha' moment! ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
🧘🏽‍♀️As @jayshetty says, you consistently need to feed/nourish your mind just the way you feed your body. Know your values/worth & don't let anyone (even your own self-doubts) Q you/your life? #knowyourworth

Tears of joy, tears of hard work, tears of how far

Tears of joy, tears of hard work, tears of how far I have come, tears of gratitude 😭😭😭 I didn't plan to go on @jayshettycertificationschool LIVE and all get emotional (full LIVE here -> https://bit.ly/302QMs2 , also link in bio) 👆🏾but the platform, people, questions and encouragement was such, that before I knew it I was tapping into corners of my brain/memory and talking about things that I have never even (or hardly ever) spoken about, not because I am embarrassed by any of it or because I do not want to talk about it, but because once I 'figure it out' it somehow automatically gets filed in that 'unconscious competence' part of my brain 🔐 I honestly never imagined that my story (even the wee bit I shared) was going to be inspiring so many, I am beyond touched by all the love and support I received yesterday (yes, I read every single message and responded to each one of them, because I don't say it lightly when I say that that kind of genuine encouragement and support is hard to come by, especially for people 'like me' as others fail to recognize/acknowledge just how much hard work, how many long hours/days, and how much effort goes into making something be/look/become the way it finally does (effortless) 🙌🏽 But one thing is for sure, I promise to share more of my story, THANK YOU to everyone who was there rooting for me and cheering me on to do just that... YOU ALL INSPIRE(D) ME!!! 💓🙏🏽💗 Swipe right - she is referring to something that happened 11 years ago, we hadn't kept in touch but she reached out and sent this message yesterday (super thoughtful and genuine), it's moments like these which add more meaning to life and everything we do! Another one - she’s been supporting me all along even without knowing my hustle (be her to the Kusum in your life)! 🙏🏽💞 #heartisfull
