Although it wasn’t my first time speaking publicly on spiritual topics, every time I do it, I feel the same nervousness rising within me. That’s why this moment felt important — not because it was […]
I finally did it—one full month without social media! And honestly? It felt amazing. This challenge wasn’t just about logging off. It was about stepping away from the constant noise, distractions, and mindless scrolling to focus on things that actually matter. Why I Took on This Challenge Social media can be a great tool, but […]
This was the biggest goal I’ve crossed out so far! And honestly? It was hard. Sticking to a daily habit for an entire year was way more challenging than I expected. I failed many times, had to restart from day one over and over again, but finally—after 365 days—I did it! Why I Took on […]
This one was a big one. It wasn’t easy at all, and there were many times I thought I couldn’t do it. But somehow, I did! One funny challenge along the way? One of the Ekadashis fell on the second day of Christmas! What is Ekadashi? Ekadashi is a sacred fasting day in the Vedic […]
Sometimes, the simplest goals bring the most unexpected joy. Recently, I had the chance to cross out Goal #19 from my list—being in the audience during the filming of a TV show. It may not sound like a big deal, but for me, it was something I’d never done before, and my curiosity about how […]
