There’s a lot of people out there who will tell you stories about how to make other people change but how do you prepare yourself mentally to handle the changes life throws at you when you wake each morning? Do you end up feeling anxious and worried when you think about what each day holds for you? Change is inevitable in life. Though emotionally disturbing, arming ourselves with lots of adaptabilities will go a long way in handling change. In addition to focusing on your mental health, your academic capability, your physical fitness; the big fourth one is figuring out how to be more adaptable.   Welcome to - Live Bold And Bloom With Ishika. Adaptability comes from the Latin word “Aptus” and Aptus means to fit; to mold yourself and the people who adapt the most are the fittest, the optimist.  Adaptability is a soft skill that means being able to rapidly learn new skills and behaviours in response to changing circumstances. Employers usually look for adaptability when hiring new staff a

Etiquette isn’t something that just evaporated from society over time. Even though we do much of our communicating online, it’s still necessary to practice good manners when attending parties or having in-person chats. It may sound old-fashioned, but you still need to know your manners out of respect for the people around you. If you’re a little rusty on proper etiquette (like most of us are), here’s a little refresher. You probably didn’t know that you were breaking these essential etiquette rules!   Welcome to - Live Bold And Bloom With Ishika. 1. You Avoid Eye Contact While Talking - When you chat with others, do you find your eyes wandering? You look at what’s going on in the background, rather than looking at your conversation partner’s face. Even if you’re actually listening to what they have to say, not making eye contact gives off the impression that you’re not. You don’t need to stare into the person’s eyes creepily—intermittent glances make for a more comfortable conversation

Today let’s talk about Reputation versus Character. Between Reputation or Character what would you choose? Let’s talk about this and understand the concepts and therefore help you make a choice at the end of reading.   Welcome to - Live Bold And Bloom With Ishika. Reputation is important to many people and they do everything they can to build or to protect it. People get involved in various public relations social contact activities to ensure that they are being spoken about and seen in places of importance, they say or do things to look good in public not necessarily because they really feel for it. For example; we come across people who always speak very politely while at work but are very rude while talking to people at home or people whole fight for social cause but cannot do justice to people at home again. Haven’t we come across those who act very pious in society and yet secretly involved themselves in unhealthy activities. Most human beings are very conscious about their reputa

We hold ourselves to these unrealistic standards of perfection and then we judge ourselves when we don’t live up to them. The thing is, we’re not supposed to be perfect; perfection isn’t possible. But transformation is. All of us has the capacity to change, to learn and to grow no matter what our circumstances. I study how people change, how people transform and one of the most effective vehicles I’ve found is mindfulness. My own journey into mindfulness was unexpected. All of our mind wanders, on average, 47% of the time. That’s almost half of our lives that we’re missing. So part of mindfulness is simply learning to train the mind in how to be here. What you practice grows stronger.  Welcome to - Live Bold And Bloom With Ishika.  Mindfulness isn’t just about paying attention, it’s about how we pay attention; with kindness. Mindfulness also involves acceptance, meaning that we pay attention to our thoughts and feelings without judging them—without believing, for instance, that there’s

Be honest! Are you a people-pleaser? Do you have trouble saying no, setting boundaries or are you tortured by the idea that someone might now like you. So, today we’re talking all about people pleasing. Some people can’t help but want everyone around them to like them, sometimes at the sacrifice of their own needs and desires. No more! The only person I want you to please is you. According to researches, people pleasers want everyone around them to be happy and they will do whatever is asked of them to keep it that way. They put everyone else before themselves. It is said, for some saying “yes” is a habit and for others it’s almost an addiction that makes them feel like they need to be needed. This makes them feel important and like they’re contributing to someone else’s life so here’s what you can do to start saying “no” to others and say “yes” to yourself. Welcome to - LIVE BOLD AND BLOOM WITH ISHIKA. 1.) Internal Validation - Most people pleasers are desperate for validation and app

What do you say or what do you do when someone talks down to you, we have all experience people who talk down to us, sometimes verbally and sometimes by merely using their body language. Today I’m going to share some amazing ways in which you can use your words or your body language to stand up to these people. Many people tell me about certain incidents and how they did not speak up at that time just so that could let that situation pass but that feeling keeps eating them from inside where you feel like why did I not speak up! Why did I not stand up for myself! Well There are ways to be prepared to respond in such situations without responding with anger. Welcome to - LIVE BOLD AND BLOOM WITH ISHIKA.  1.) Don’t be afraid of the confrontation - If someone raises one eyebrow, rolls their eye, clears their throat in middle of your conversation, smile sarcastically when you’re speaking, takes deep puffy breathes or don’t look at you when you’re talking to them and you let that pass then y
