On evolving friendships, and genuine connections

Genuine connections thrive on the messy, unfiltered aspects of human interaction—the stuff you can’t capture in a Whatsapp text or an Instagram post.

In our crazy fast-paced world today, I can’t help but notice a shift in the way we connect with each other. It’s like genuine connections are slowly slipping away, and technology seems to be playing a big part in it. Sure, we’re more connected than ever, but it often feels like we’re losing so many real things in the process.

Designing a Mindful Life: Using Principles from ‘Designing Your Life’ to Cultivate Intentionality and Well-Being

There’s something magical about the quiet of the morning in the mountains. The air is crisp and fresh, and the only sounds are the rustling of leaves and the occasional bird call. It’s in these moments of stillness that I’ve found a sense of peace that eludes me in the hustle and bustle of daily life. It’s in these moments I’m reminded of the importance of being mindful and intentional in my daily life.

Take a picture, Be in the Moment

Photography is a form of art that allows us to capture the beauty and essence of the world around us. But beyond its aesthetic value, photography can also teach us an important lesson about mindfulness.

Sometimes I am so busy in routine that I forget the minutes and hours that make each moment. I often find myself multitasking, jumping from one task to another, and rarely taking a minute to pause and simply be. However, research has shown that when we cultivate mindfulness, we can reduce stress, improve our mental and physical health, and enhance our overall quality of life. I guess that’s what motivates me to see the world through a lens more often.
