And it can also be our biggest enemy, if not controlled - Mindful Monday thoughts.
On the occasion of Women's day, she wanted me to take her out on a casual drive and enjoy an ice cream at Baskin Robins and then do some little shopping , pick up a dress from a boutique , our daughter wanted to eat at KFC, the boy was at home preparing for his next exam. Even though she is quite fit to buy ready made dresses, for some reason she likes to get it stitched and that is where I have problem. The fabric, the stitching cost, the time, the petrol all clubbed together is much higher - more than 4-5k. It's just that she does not realize it, as she pays in chunks at different times. Sometimes, she will feel the dress is not stitched properly, and she will go again and again to get that fixed, so the cost of that gets higher and higher. Many a times, I tried to convince her to go and buy ready made dress - you can easily get pretty good brands at big malls in 4-5k, try it and all set. But she still has that old school mentality - I don't blame her for that, as many of our generation will have a little of that. The problem starts when she repeatedly goes to fix the stitching - after coming back she would agree not to go again, but then she forgets that after a while. She was going to a place since her childhood and last time they had so severe arguments that, she decided to quit that place. Instead, she managed to find out a new boutique where we went but it was the same story - the outcome did not match her expectation, and it needed some adjustment, and we were asked to come back after a hour.
Many times we have had arguments over this, and of late, I am trying not to be angry, or irritated, knowingly. The funny reason of it is that I express my anger and quite easily forget soon - few hours after if you ask me, I won't even remember. But the impact on her stays longer - she is very emotional and then you know, how it comes back 😀
Instead I am trying to focus on things, that will make me happy, be they very small little things like Baskin Robins - reminded me that scene from 3 idiots movie.
In search of finding happiness in bigger accomplishments, we get lost, without realizing how much damage it does to us. I have gone through it in my life, planning big, working for a long time to fulfill that, and then failing because people for whom I worked changed their path. So of late I realize, Mindfulness practice to discover happiness in small little things that's part of our daily life, can only help to control our anxiety and lead a better life, especially at this age. More to come on such practices as a minimalist - I could never do meditation or yoga but I consider these practices as some kind of meditation to control my brain.
This post is in response to the MINDFUL MONDAY prompt of this week, I would love to hear about people's experience on mindfulness practices - some real people with real photos representing the chain - let's come forward and make this platform more real - will you love to die anonymous ?

ha ha ha ha. When it comes back it will be disproportionate and punitive...ha ha ha ha.
That's a typical husband's trait. But feminine trait does not let it go that easily.
Someone told me....I could still remember that to manage family affairs...MAKE YOUR REAL LIFE A REEL ONE......if not always...then at least during the times of volatility.
You will explore a different being in you, Sir, if you persist on meditation and a state of thoughtlessness. Breathing has much more to offer to our life. : Let's master the techniques of breathing.
Thank you.

I am like this too. Also, my wife tells me I can forgive easily. I don't dwell on anger. I just express what I feel, and move on afterwards.
May be boys are mostly like that.
We have happiness all around us
We just have the task of locating those things that will make us happy and we’ll be good
Absolutely, this is a very good thing, and today was International Women's Day. You have done a great job in this regard. Sometimes, you should go out like this to refresh yourself mentally.
I agree with you, sometimes we just have to agree with what our kids want for their own happiness as long as it's not something that would cause them harm.
Wishing your son all the best in his exams

Totally I agree with you.
You are right, sometimes we have to be flexible in our parenting style.
How are you dear friend @sanjeevm good afternoon
It's great that you took your wife for a walk on Women's Day, that's very good for strengthening the relationship
You're very right about how expensive a custom-made item is, not to mention the loss of time, something very important at this time
Have a happy start to the week
At the same time, it can be our greatest ally or our greatest enemy. Everything will depend on how we treat it, because to do so we always need to be calm and avoid the stress that everyday life imposes on us.
First of all, Happy International Women's Day to both your wife and your daughter, and at the same time, I congratulate you for pampering them and treating them like a Queen and Princess. In addition, we must always take care of ourselves and stay calm because meditation helps not only to relax our body but also the brain, which is the most important organ in our body.
Being a husband myself, I understand this pain very well. Halanki main aap jitna anubhavi to nahi hoon par jo maine seekha hai uske according kai baar hum ye jaante huye bhi ki jo hum kar rahe hain wo shayad koi bhi samajhdaar insaan nahi karega par hum wo karte hain aur karte hi rahte hain kyunki humein individual level par wo karne mein kuch to maza aa raha hota hai. Finding happiness in small things is the best way to overcome anger in such times. Nice to read your blog! 😊🙏🏼
you are doing a great job on youself, keep it up. not many people can say the same
yup. a bit of old school.. it's all good tho. even if we get angry and upset.. its just human nature. KFC fixes all! 😉☺️👊
You should do what you say, you are both experienced and a good guide. The cost of ready-made dresses is quite high. Dress prices in Türkiye are reasonable. I think it is because of the popularity of the textile sector.
Happiness is needed in our daily lives and the good thing is that you are working hard towards making yourself happy and I wish you the best
Great friend who teaches us his minimalist practices to achieve inner peace and thus be able to obtain true happiness to lead a much more pleasant life.
