Humanitarian Relief Measures by the Srilankan Government!

One more of the many shocking evidences exposing the brutality of the Soliders towards Tamilians in Srilanka. Does the term "Justice" prevails in reality or it is just another word in the dictionary.

Workshop on RESILIENCE by Anne Barab

Posted by shanshu75 at 10:10 pm

Last week i got an email from the broadcast account that Yokogawa Toastmaster club has arranged for a workshop on Resilience and the speaker would be Mrs. Anne Barab. Like everyone else (those new to toastmaster's club), i thought that i shall beat the office hours by registering to this workshop as it was planned to be conducted in the afternoon session. And today was that day. Less did i realized that this would become an important day in my life! The speaker with her contents and delivery style had a tremedous impact on me. Little did i also realize that this is the kind of session i was looking forward without my knowledge, that which will guide you towards balancing the life at home and work.
The workshop was primarily focused on helping working adults to strike or help them to find out ways to strike a balance in life between work and home. Resilience is all about adapting yourself and progressing in your life. RESILIENCE is Reflect, Explain, Skills, Inspire, Learn, Imitate, Exercise, Network, Courage and Enjoy. It is more on to dragging you from being pessimistic to more optimistic.
During the course of the workshop, anne shared some wit and wisdom. Few of the Anne's Hootin Annies are

  1. Examine Yourslef (and look for patterns in life)
  2. Argue with the IDIOT in your head (control the negative thoughts and improve your self-talk)
  3. Use "Yes, AND..." (and avoid "Yes, BUT...")
  4. Write "5 GRATITIDES" everyday (helps you to appreciate the good in others and avoids seeing only the bad in others)
  5. Don't fret about the nags and find God's PURPOSE for your life!
  6. DON'T STRESS about the crumbs (Understand Life is full of Crumbs!)
  7. SEE THE BEAUTY in people.
  8. QUIT LYING to yourself.
  9. Get your heart-rate to 60% daily (Remember Aging is decay and decay is optional!)
    STOP eating crap.
  10. GIVE the gift of LISTENING.
  11. PUSH THROUGH your FEAR. (Have the courage to learn "What you fear?" and re-learn to covercome them)
  12. JUST SAY YES (and KISS THE PIG OF LIFE! - Be positive)

That was wonderful listening to her talk on the above elaborately. I shall update here in blog on each of these items when i find time. Meanwhile i shall recommend all my dear readers to attend such workshops by Anne, if you get a chance.

LIFE CAN BE LIVED BY GOING FORWARD BUT CAN BE UNDERSTOD BY ONLY LOOKING BACKWARD....
