My everyday date with Cuppa Koffee – How it helps me in my everyday life

Yes, you heard it right ! I love my Kapi (in Tamil), Koffee.  The wonderful coffee mugs with beautiful sayings written on it makes me smile. In fact, I like to spell out Coffee as Koffee (just because it makes me feel 10 years younger).  I know it sounds out a little weird, but that’s how I can become if I don’t get my filter kapi first thing in the morning.

There are many of us here who will agree with me, be it chai or koffee till we hold it in our hands, we do not get geared up for the day ahead.  This is more so for the homemaker, the working woman of course, both of whom have either their cuppa chai or koffee and begin their day with gusto.

Yes, you can call it addiction, but “itna addiction toh fine hai boss”.  When I have my coffee, there are so many thoughts taking place in my mind, few thoughts that keep pouring in because I have chosen to live with them, thoughts that have made me feel not so good at some point in time. These are thoughts that I have fed my mind with and the result being that it made life look truly boring and uninteresting, which is not the real me.

I chanced on this coffee mug the other day at a mall that had this beautiful saying “Letting go of the not so good things will make you feel lighter and happier”.  It instantly hit my brain and it rung a bell in my mind saying “  Rekha, this is something that you should not miss out on”. This mug reminds me that I need not hold on to feelings and emotions that are not doing me any good. It’s actually pulling me and holding me back which is the total opposite of me. This is how I started letting go of all the old and unproductive thoughts.

Bad thoughts and emotions are like stale food in our refrigerator.  Will we eat food that has been stored for a month or a year, forget a month a year, we will not even be able to eat food that was prepared and stored a week back.  It will surely make us sick and unhealthy and we will surely land up in the hospital. Just imagine how much care we take of our physical body. So then why is that we subject our beautiful mind to this torture? Why do we choose to hold on to stale thoughts that are doing no good not only to ourselves but also to people around us.

I have discovered that when we are able to let go of anything that is stale and redundant, it shows on the face and in our life.  It is all about taking the first step and that is by letting go.  Never choose to stay with thoughts of hurt,jealousy, depression as these will eat up your mental health.  It may appear to be a little difficult to incorporate all these things all at once and to bring about changes as the mind will definitely show some resistance.  But try doing one at a time and you will see the results showing up.

So folks ! Let go, keep smiling – it definitely makes things much simpler and beautiful and just look at the mirror, you will look years younger and of course BEAUTIFUL.

Signing off for now- Happy Navami and Dashami for tomorrow in advance.
