THE LEARNING CURVE OF LIFE

  

   

This phase of life, for me, is all about mindful learning — a gentle yet consistent commitment to self-growth. Inspired by my favorite author, I’ve embraced the practice of reading and writing a page every day. Not digitally, but the old-fashioned way — pen on paper. This small act does wonders: it sharpens brain function, strengthens hand-eye coordination, and brings back the tactile pleasure of writing.

I find deep comfort in the simple, steady wisdom of Ruskin Bond — his suggestions and quiet advice often feel like personal notes on how to live more meaningfully.  As he beautifully puts it, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the quiet of everyday things.” That line stays with me, especially during reflective moments.  Alongside that, reading quotes on wise living and maintaining a daily journal helps me reflect and reset.

But learning isn’t limited to books. It’s also about adapting. I’m learning to relax, set boundaries with grace, and handle people gently — not with detachment, but with a softer touch. I’m learning not to get overly emotional about situations I can't control, to stay calm even when everything feels chaotic, and to pay attention to my body — especially when it signals hormonal imbalances or fatigue.

This phase is not loud or dramatic. It’s quiet, intentional, and deeply personal. It’s about balance — between mind, body, and emotion — and finding rhythm in daily rituals.
