Pause 2 Move

Not always. Sometimes it is a test to toughen yourself up to keep what you are asking for. But sometimes it is, protection from what is not meant for you. I’m no philosopher, just a certified yapper. Ami :)

sometimes the only way to find out if it is going to work, is to- DO IT! you’re too young to have regrets about “what if”, might as well just know; what is going to happen if you do try. :) you’re more competent that you think ;)

Ever thought you made the right decision but that decision sabotages you? Later it turns into guilt. Well. Can’t change the decision, want to get over it? (It will be fine)

Here is a little throwback episode, a topic and a lesson learnt that still holds true :)

Anything can be a meditation if you take your brain away from it. Ami’s recent peaceful go to method :) (totally not created by me, just journaling what is the new thing that I am trying at the moment that has been helpful to me)

Journaling entry for gentle reminder that “feeling tired” should prompt you to take rest. Come back stronger.

Took me a while to learn, but better late than never. Knowing when and where to ask for help can aid in moving forward and accessing plateaus in growth.

This one was a response to a prompt I received. The prompt was “what are so,e “red” flags to looks out for in south Asian men in dating context”.

Less wishing, more accepting. (Ami’s feb 10 journal entry)

Like is good, I believe in inherent goodness of this world, but sometimes, there will be curveballs and I am learning how to deal with that. It is a journey.

I said what I said.

20s might feel like a juggle between wanting more while being thankful for what you have. A little reminder, you can do better :)

TLDR- we are just not 13 anymore and there is more to think about than just “feels” but there is a good news. Peace, Ami

New Season, who this?

Made your resolutions? Good. Now will you keep them? If you can’t at the moment, let your alter ego deal with those for now. (Not professional advice, it is just what works for me) Peace, Ami

Life is too short to live in a shell, and again, life is too long to spend it all in a shell. It is okay, dare to be weird, no one cares. It is good news. Peace, Ami :)

If there is one thing you must learn growing up in South Asian Community, is how to protect your boundaries. We all have experience with “aunties” asking very personal out of pocket questions, but you don’t have to be rude, here are some ways to establish your boundaries without offending anyone at the next family dinner. ☕️,Ami

I promise, no one will remember you being awkward any more than you will replay that conversation in your mind. Peace, Ami

(That were not about salsa dancing). Also, an article worth reading - https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbescoachescouncil/2018/11/05/three-leadership-lessons-you-can-learn-from-dancing-salsa/?sh=7ccc4e237d0f

This is what has worked for me. Just sharing :). Peace, Ami 🫶🏽

All about times when our life and present can get value from us making new connections, new friends. At the end, it is all about meeting people that add more colour while appreciating what we have. Peace,Ami

Growing up can be a lonely process, however it is not a nice feeling when you feel lonely with people around you. There are ways to cope. Peace-Ami :)

Is there a way to do it all? October is incredibly busy for university students. Here is one way that helps me find balance:)

Criticism is good and builds character but not every “critique” is meant to be taken to heart. Moreover, you have to be critical (hehe see what I did there) about who you pick your mentors to be. Picking the right mentors can make it or break it in your 20s. Be smart about it.(there is a lot of advice, not every advice is good advice) Peace,Ami

Not knowing pain is a curse source - trust me bro (just kidding, more in today’s episode :) Peace - Ami
