‘52 ways to enrich your life in 52 weeks’

52 Simple and Effective ways to tune into your life one week at a time.

Introduction
Often people attempt to live their lives backwards: they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want so that they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then, do what you need to do, in order to have what you want.

I have a dream, a fantasy

How many of you dream about leading a quality life?
A life that would reconcile your deepest authentic, spiritual and creative longings with often overwhelming and conflicting commitments as women    to parents, children, husband, work at home, siblings, friends, community and work in the world.

Do you feel you are doing too many things at a time? Is there a nagging feeling of disquiet, a feeling of emptiness, a growing awareness that life is meant to be more?

A slave to your schedule?

Gita’s day starts at five in the morning. Her life is a balancing act between family demands and work commitments. She is torn apart by conflicting emotions. Guilt at not being there for her children and the desire to contribute to the family finances. Life, she believes, has become a drill.

Take the example of Vani, a high powered executive in a technology company. Her days are a whirlwind of activities, stressful and demanding. Her purse is full but she feels an emptiness deep inside. She yearns for a fun-filled life.

Shyamala too experiences a feeling of disconnection. Her days are packed with too many commitments, to her home, her children, her ailing parents and in-laws. She is running herself ragged trying to keep everybody happy.

Do all these stories sound similar?

How many times, in the midst of your hectic, fast paced life, have you felt like screaming ‘I need a break’ or toyed with the enticing notion of packing a bag and escaping ‘Far from the madding crowd’?
Relax, you are not alone. You are not the only woman hurtling through real life as if it were an out-of-body experience, or a woman frazzled, depressed, worn to a raveling.

Although everyone’s life follows different patterns, the feelings of exhaustion, frustration and loneliness are all too familiar.

There is a yearning to connect to your inner self, which seems to have been lost in the chaos of life.

What is your inner voice telling you?

Be kind to yourself
There are limits to how much you can do. For example, don’t fret if you haven’t made a proper meal today.

Strengthen your character
Learn to say no. Don’t allow people to walk all over you.

Be a source of inspiration and wisdom
Teach your children to be kind to elders.

Make small changes to lead a quality life
Take some time off every week to catch up with old friends.


Do you feel that this is a mammoth task? Do doubts and fears beset you?

Never fear. It only takes one small step, one small consistent action, to turn your life around    big time.

This process of self-discovery follows a pattern of action-change-action over a period of 52 weeks    one week at a time.

It will focus on areas of personal and professional growth.

On improving life on a weekly basis, in a fun-filled, effective way.

The philosophy: Love thyself

The course will teach you

  • To take good care of yourself so that you can help care for others and the world around you.
  • To lead you to a process of getting your priorities straight.
  • To recognise and remove those things that are depleting your energy.
  • To be more in control of your life.

Little drops of water make a mighty ocean

As this series moves along and you start taking action, you will see how one week builds up upon another. Before you know it, you will be on the road to living a positive, exciting, authentic life.

The helping hand circle

To lead an authentic life is a goal sought by many.
So collect some like-minded friends, co-workers and family members and form your own team.
Guide and support one another.
Feel your life unfolding in unique and wonderful ways.
When your team is in place, follow these four guidelines:
  • How many times will you meet, when and where?
  • Review the topic of the week and discuss the impact of it in your life.
  • Keep each other informed on the specific action that you are going to take during the week.
  • Fix a time to meet again so that you can share your progress and celebrate your triumphs together.

So let your journey begin    a better life beckons you. Live it to the full.
