GRATITUDING...

Without going into the details, dos, don'ts, whys and hows of practising gratitude-journaling, I would want to focus my ideas on exploring the living-in-the-moment feelings of penning down the details of gratutude-journaling which I have named on a whim this very moment to 'Gratituding'. Definitely, I can not call myself an expert on the topic and neither do I think I can provide an encyclopaedic reference to it. 

Introduced to me by a friend, this habit of writing down positive and happy moments has started to speak to me at a level I am beginning to understand.

So, basically let me borrow a few fleeting moments of your time to elaborate the aspects of positivity it ushers in. And, I am going to be referring this to as 'Gratutuding' throughout this monologue.


Focus:

                                                                PC: The Daily Star

Tried and tested, I find Gratituding has let me befriend the idea of focusing on minutest of  details that give birth to those growing corners on lips called smile, in common language. You can see how I am describing the activity of smiling. Well, it is just an example to show how focusing can be beneficial in appreciating blessings even if little, which we otherwise take for granted. This is possible thanks to making ourselves accustomed to the idea of Gratituding.
Sweet and short, Gratituding has inculcated the aspect of keeping my focus alive .


Memory Boost:

                                                                          PC: Self

As labyrinthine as life can get, we also tend to forget a lot of events, moments and memories that have played one or the other definitive part in our lives. 
Writing my baby moments on a blank sheet ( ofcourse, not gonna overwrite on an already scribbled paper!) has taken some load off my 'back of the mind' memory. I have forgotten so many beautiful memories of my life that my 'back of the mind' started screaming for some damn space, imagine that!


Flex, muscles please:

                                                                        PC: Self

I realized an eternity could have gone by had I not taken to Gratituding. Those few minutes I spent on Gratituding so far, tiny muscles/cartilages of my fingers have begun coming back to some life as opposed to the stiffness I experienced when they were making unstoppable errands scrolling a screen.  I also have to admit to realizing that it will take some time for me to differentiate between alphabets until my writing skills are reincarnated.

Welcome aboard Gratituding!

PC:  riedelmeier-Pixabay Tickle The Sleeping Brain: Ever wondered why there is this nagging and a never-ending fight between the two genders - male and female trying to perhaps, prove which one is stronger than the other ? The real tug of war is basically based on rights and duties. Who would know what and how things took place in history that has its ripples alive till date such that women seem to have to fight for basic rights for their cause and some misunderstood assumptions are born which tell men that somehow, their rights are being snatched away in the process of making way for women. The basic idea of right to live in peace professed in almost all global social movements is lost in the milieu of ignorance and flawed disposition of pride and arrogance.

A SIMPLE CRANBERRY CAKE...

Without knowledge, I once grabbed cranberries for a leisure munching, imagining them to taste sweet by their look.  Later I was scampering to look for a recipe to make something out of it and not let it go waste.  Cranberries in reality taste too sour. However, they taste amazing when  dried or cooked.  Cake seemed to be a great idea as I had eaten it before somewhere.  This is going to be a very simple recipe of a homemade cake with just an addition of cranberries. Let us go step by step:  Even though originally the secret ingredient to cooking or baking is a smile that pirouettes on your face, specific ingredients are listed below. 1. Dry Ingredients: Gather two small to medium sized cups of all-purpose flour. One cup of fine sugar. You can replace sugar with honey/ maple syrup/ agave. If you replace sugar, add it later with wet ingredients (Step 2) One spoon salt One spoon baking powder Give it a mix by simple whipping or with a hand ble...

SAVE THOSE LOCKS...

    PC:   Image by Gabriela Kania from Pixabay  What is more worrisome to you, those mistakenly dropped strands in your food or those tangled in your comb? Well, both are equally frightening, including those which you see going down the drain in front of your eyes as you watch helplessly like a mute spectator. Each one of us is fully aware of the horror of hair loss. The affect such a loss has on our psyche to that terror we feel at the dead of night thinking of solutions to stop the recession, err...the hair loss, has an immense impact on us. And, we got nothing but to pat our 'light-head' to sleep. Gruesome sketch, right? But it is what it is! When we start losing hair and we no longer wake up to dreams of face and hands full of extra voluminous hair out of nowhere as we once used to, the terror depicted above stands valid.  What A Malady:  Hair is a natural resource. We are born with it. Those sitting on scalp are believed to be the most sought after and...
