Mindset 👊

Mindset plays an important role in framing our character and outlook on life. We can be termed as a pessimist and optimist based on the way we approach at things. Now let me give an example. Yesterday I took a mock test for an exam which comes 4.5 months later but the scores dejected me. I started thinking I can't crack the actual exam. I wasn't able to solve most of the questions and became scared looking at the timer that kept going. Here's the thing. I already accepted I am going to fail and decided to give up which I feel now as a losers decision. 

There are two mindsets basically for humans based on a book. It's the fixed mindset and the growth mindset. 

Fixed Mindset
It means thinking you are born a certain way and your environment and family background won't support certain things therefore you can't do it. Eg: Blaming your families riches or education background because you can't do certain thing. Though these things influence upto certain level it is us who can take a step to find solutions to these problems. Maybe sit down and explain your family that you want to do that thing. Nothing comes easy in life.

Growth Mindset
Believing I can do what I want to do can be done if I decide on moving the coins correctly. When you believe you can do something you're halfway there.

There's a slight difference between a growth mindset and doing things that you don't enjoy. 
Example: When I was in clg I believed I can't code because I just can't do it, which is a fixed mindset. But out of clg when I tried coding and preparing for similar exams I realised I don't enjoy it much or see the fun in it than the other things I decided on doing. Well now this is different. I can compromise here and go ahead with coding by putting in hardworking and practicing but here it becomes a personal choice. So let's keep growth mindset and work hard to achieve our goals. Hope my post gives a pinch of boost on our lazy lacklustre minds.

An incident at the gym 💪💪

 Hi to whoever reading this blog sorry that I was missing for a while. You know caught up in work and blah and blah but these are just reasons as I was lazy to write this blog. I suddenly felt I have nothing to share here. But got my senses back so lets jump to the story😁 As I was hitting the gym the other day I saw this tremendous looking girl who had well built muscles better than any girl I have ever seen at the gym before. She looked something like below pic. You can tell by the look of it she has been working really hard to be that healthy and how consistent she must have been to have built that great physique. Whenever she walks into the gym you can feel everyone noticing her because of the great physique she has out of respect and admiration because gym ppl know how difficult it is to build muscles of that stature. Me and my husband while hanging out with one of this friends talked about this and he his friend asked me why dint I go and tell her she looked great. He said sh...

I switched my work organization😉

First of all thank you for coming here to read my blogs. I haven't posted for a long time now and believe I will be more consistent going forward.  I joined a new organization 2 days back and it feels like the best decision I have taken in a while. I believe we must all keep looking for growth in all aspects of life. Be it career or health or emotional growth. Sometimes you get stuck in a loop of doing things and no matter how much you work hard you are never appreciated or more problems arise. A similar situation happened to me in life where I felt no amount of work is getting me out of this loop.  I had some really crappy work surrounded by tough people to handle. When I decided to switch my job for monetary and other reasons it was very hard to get any interview calls.  The key here is to keep believing. I never believed because market is bad and stuff but my husband kept constantly applying to jobs on my behalf. I had some mental breakdowns due to the work wherein I h...

A post for my 2nd Anniversary 👫 💓

  It's been 2 years and there is a lot to share but I'll try to keep it simple. Meanwhile I hope you can take away some good things from here. WEDDING STORY: I had an arranged marriage as many of you know. The first time I met him I did not overthink it. He just looked calm and quiet (maybe shy or awkward). It was my first time that a prospective groom came to our house. I had nothing in my head. It was around April 2021. My sister said ‘he didn't look at you straight and maybe he isn't interested in the wedding’. I felt the same because when our families discussed future aspirations he said he wanted to do MBA and was waiting for results from IIM Lucknow. At that time I felt that if he converts IIM Lucknow, how will I go and live there for the next 2 years? I din't want to resign from my job. So we just waited for his results and he got rejected from IIML. It was sad but this is what led to our wedding 😂.  FIGHTS: Our fights were crazy back in the day. It was new ...
