Chintan : Nurturing self is the first step towards building great interpersonal relationships and building great teams..

While reflecting upon to write today's Chintan, there was a strange set of thoughts that had inundated my mind..yesterday's discussion with another friend from the fraternity was still fresh in my mind. He had asked : What is the first step to build in great interpersonal relationships specially at work place.. and the discussion continued around many such perspectives from trust to empowerment..but somehow what struck me was the poignant question : all these would be mere transactions in the  external world of the individual if the same is not replicated /experienced /felt internally as well.. how would it impact the thoughts /the feelings unless that inner connect is made..

And it comes when one nurtures one self..Self nurturence  is the first step to building sustainable relationships with self as well with others!!!
Nurturing Self
  • Play positive : your
  • Choose Words that Inspire
  • Choose language that Heal
  • Open the Lock : talk it out with your blocks
  • Unclog your thoughts 
  • Accept the past events script 
  • Honour your spirit
  • Love yourself to accept the YOU in you
  • Rescript your new dialogues
  • Look around : You are Lucky 
  • Connect with others and do with all love 

“Be the one who nurtures and builds. Be the one who has an understanding and a forgiving heart one who looks for the best in people. Leave people better than you found them.” ― Marvin J. Ashton

I draw a lot of strength from the above lines  which still now reverberate as these words have semblance to what my grandmother often said...Make people around you feel better  in your company , you do not know what his story is ..Be compassionate.

This inbuilt  logic/philosophy has many a times made me feel good..as in these kind of situations where my mind would urge my tongue to spit venom , my inner I has restrained it ..and that has paved way to such beautiful relationships that we have nurtured.
