Chicken Soup for the Soul Friday – Bollywood Dance Party!

by 2 Comments

Here is another Chicken Soup for the Soul Friday!

Bollywood Dance Party

Bollywood Dance Party

“This weekend, I broke up the routine and instead of doing something laid back like I usually do, I went to a Bollywood dance party at the Hilton hotel. I haven’t clubbed or went dancing for a few years now. I used to do it a lot, but now I’m older and busy working, so I try to not go too crazy on the weekends.

But this time since I had no plans, I agreed to go. Ten minutes before I was supposed to leave my place to drive to the party, I started to think of excuses of not wanting to go.

But I pushed myself to go and had a BLAST! I danced until 3 in the morning! Sometimes, breaking up your routine and doing something different once in a while really helps to let go.” – Priyanka

How to Respond When People Judge You

by Leave a Comment

It doesn’t matter where you are in life and what you do. Anywhere you go and wherever you work, you will face a situation where people judge you. They don’t even know you and become judgmental of you. It can bug and stress you out. It can take you away from your comfort zone.

Dealing with Judgment

Dealing with Judgment

Don’t Be Judgmental Yourself

First things first, don’t act like the person judging you. Don’t jump to conclusions or make assumptions about them. Otherwise, you are exactly like that person. Don’t be rude or inconsiderate either…

Keep An Open Mind

Keep your head clear and have an open mind. Maybe that person did not have great experiences in the past… Or maybe they are not in a good mood… You can give them the benefit of the doubt.

Choose to Respond Or Not…

This is an important step. In some situations, it’s important to respond accordingly to the judgment. In other scenarios, it’s probably best to let go and take yourself out of the situation to conserve your energy.

Detach Yourself from the Situation

Ultimately, that person’s judgment reflects more about he or she than you. So removing yourself from the situation and detaching yourself might be in your best interest.

Annie The Teacup Poodle Rescued

by Leave a Comment

I Used to Be Petrified of Dogs Growing Up.

In my neighborhood, I’ve had countless dogs chase me. But now after having my own puppy Raja, I have a strong love for all animals.  I was never the type who would dote on animals, but it’s amazing how you change over time once you have a connect. And now I understand their endless loyalty and love that humans can’t match. When our puppy Raja first came to our home, he was literally a month or 2 old.

He Was the Size of My Hand

The first time I saw him I freaked out and would never hold him for the next couple months even though he would look at me with his enormous innocent eyes. My brother still makes fun of me till this day how afraid I was of a tiny bundle of joy. So when I came across this heartwarming story, I had to share.

A poodle named Annie used to live with a man who hoarded animals. In an unfortunate turn of events, the man and all the animals died in a house fire, except Annie. A local animal organization rescued Annie. A wonderful family decided to foster Annie through this organization until another family adopted her.

Annie Was So Scared…

Annie was so scared that she didn’t eat or drink and would walk with her tail tucked between her legs. But for some reason, she was attached to their 12 year old son whose side she wouldn’t leave even though she barely knew him.

Eventually, a family got matched with her, but later changed their mind. She and the 12 year old son formed an unshakable bond and so the family decided themselves to adopt Annie. Here’s an adorable picture of her 🙂

Here’s the rest of the story you can check out on:

The Benefit of Guided Meditations

by Leave a Comment

I bought some guided meditations and play them during the night before going to sleep. I play them especially when I’m feeling stressed and need to bring myself back to the present moment.

Benefits of Guided Meditations

Benefits of Guided Meditations

I highly recommend listening to guided meditations. What is a guided meditation? It is a form of meditation where you are verbally guided  into a state of consciousness by the recording of a voice or person’s live voice.

Here are some excellent benefits of guided meditations:

More Peace and Focus

As you find yourself being gently guided into a state of consciousness by the guided meditation, you will find yourself more focused on the present moment. A peaceful energy will fill you up.

Able to Deal with Stress Better

It allows you to let go and release any tensions. It’s one of my favorite ways to deal with stressful situations. Scientific studies show how your brain is positively influenced with meditation.

Dive Deeper into Your Body

The tense energies lie in different parts of your body. It can be in your stomach, chest, shoulders, neck, etc. Meditation allows you to dive deeper into your body and become still. You can pinpoint exactly where the pressure lies in your body and relieve it.

Tap Into Your Creativity

Another favorite of mine is to get my creative juices churning by meditating. When you are trying too hard, your creativity is suppressed. It’s a great way to free up your energy and generate creativity.

Childline Released a Short Child Abuse Communication Video called “Komal” about a 7 Year Old Girl

by Leave a Comment

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services…

A report of child abuse is made every 10 seconds. More than 90 % of juvenile sexual abuse victims know their perpetrator in some way. And more shocking and saddening is that approximately 70 % of children that die from this abuse are under the age of 4.

Komal: A Documentary About Child Sexual Abuse

Komal: A Documentary About Child Sexual Abuse

This is Intense, Alarming Stuff

It’s surrounds us everywhere and can take place anywhere and the abusers do not fill any one prototype. Which is why the need to educate our children is incredibly important. I came across this video called “Komal” that educates children on child abuse communication and how to deal with such a situation.

It was created by Childline which is a Mumbai-based organization that supports Indian street children in distress. The video was released in English and many other languages across India.

Perfect Way to Bring Up a Sensitive Subject

The video is simple and engaging for a young child to watch. And for any parents or adults who may want to inform little children or their nephews or nieces, but feel uncomfortable bringing up the topic, this is the perfect way to bring up the subject. I would highly recommend every parent to show this video to their child. The video on the link below is in English and would be perfect to show for American children, or for that matter, children in any part of the world.
