Here are some paragraphs that are liked by the readers and highlighted:

“What does happiness mean to you?
It is my favorite topic, but I am not sure if I can express it well in words.

I Never Realized That Sharing This Simple Morning Ritual Can Make a Difference
In the previous episode titled “This Episode Is An Outcome Of What I was missing And Spoilt Milk” Lalitha explained
how by showing up to her Affirmation station and saying an appropriate affirmation on “Immunity” helped her transform not-so-great sensation and disappointment to creative and inspired action.
Today’s episode is dedicated to her listener Vidya whose comments on that episode are as under:
“I listened to your podcast today. Hope your giddiness/dizziness is better now. Thank you once again for sharing the passage on the “immunity system” from the book. It was extremely useful. As easy as it sounds, getting a book and reading it almost seems an impossible task in the current period of social media. Hearing such small snippets would go a long way for others. Thank you.”
In this Episode, Lalitha explains how she was touched by this comment and while she was saying her morning affirmations on the word “Feelings” she made a Podcast Episode so that like her, her audience can also benefit by listening for a few minutes instead of reading the book.
How do you process your feelings when you get angry?
Thank you for listening 🙏

I Am Inspired to Write This After Reading About Gossip
In this Episode Lalitha shares what she learned and how she uses the outcome of the habit by saying affirmations titled “Giving and Receiving “
“Gossip’
From one of her favorite books”Meditations to Heal your life” by Louise L Hay.
Giving and Receiving
“Whenever I give something to someone or do a service, I am conscious of being compassionate, reasonable, and courteous and this enriches not only physical well-being but mental and emotional well-being also’
Gossip
By saying the above affirmation consistently, I am conscious of what I do or say when I hear rumors and fake news in my real life. I do my best to inspire people by communicating uplifting information and keeping quiet when I hear anything negative. I would rather feel empowered by being silent and considerate of others than by saying anything negative. ( even though it is supposed to give a sense of power).
How about you? How do you process the words giving, receiving and gossiping in your mind? What do they mean to you?

Learning Is Good but Self Awareness With Learning Is Better
In this Episode, Lalitha shares how she applied what she learned from her Coaches. Specifically in this episode she describes how she handled the following two parts that showed up. To quote:
"A part of me was not quite ready to drive in the dark, but at the same time felt the desire to visit the temple early in the morning."
"Another part of me was shy and felt shameful to ask for a favor from a friend for a ride, as I can drive ( I guess it is also ego or I am overthinking)."
I know it might seem odd, funny, awkward to even recognize these parts. Does it not happen to us and we just ignore it?
After listening please feel free to share your insights.

This Is What Happened When I Trusted but Didn’t Expect
In this Episode, Lalitha, explains how in her Podcasting and singing journey she was able to experience the meaning of the following quote:
Success is completion. Success is being able to complete what we set out to do — each action, each specific step, each desired experience whether a big project or a very small errand.
Susan Collins
She encourages her audience to set clear intentions to just do that one simple task, take one action step and internalize the energy of completion of that one step. This will help build momentum to complete the task step by step.

Hello and Good morning! After a long break I committed to learning a Tamil song on Garbharakshambikai Devi. In the beginning I explained how my different parts showed up and I handled them before recording. Only when you listen to it you will know exactly what happened before, during and after
The practice
Recording.

However the only thing that I can say that is constant is "Devotion" or "Bhakthi". Thank you all for being a part of my Podcasting and learning journey. Have a fantastic day!

From Winter Blues to Joyful Vibes
In this Episode, Lalitha is explaining how she responded to the following Writing Prompt from the "Dancing Elephant Press Publications"
Prompt: The Joyful December Vibes For Us.
As she started writing she realized that :
It is all how she processed Winter gloom in her mind.
Many of her memorable and remarkable events happened in December.
Taking time to say "NO" to her immediate reaction about Winter
"Oh! It is cold and gloomy. I will be forced to be indoors, the thought of winter snow shoveling is scary, and yada yada…"
But
Saying "YES" to her following inner child's thoughts and feelings such as:
"Yes, Lalitha, let's have fun recalling how December Winter month has created wonderful memories and participate in the writing prompt"
Helped her get one article and one Podcast Episode published. Yay! That is a dopamine dose for her to run her day in an inspired manner. She encourages her audience to watch their thoughts and make conscious changes to get inspired.

This Is What Happened When I Accepted Myself as I Am
In this Episode, Lalitha
Shares her experience of consistently saying an affirmation describing the word "Acceptance" from Louise L Hay's Book "Meditations To Heal your Life"
How she started becoming conscious and aware of self-acceptance. She felt more grounded and reassured in living day-to-day life. She started appreciating people for just their being, and not for what they have or what they do. She could feel that I no longer resisted or judged someone because of their looks or status. She got better at handling my emotions during family get-togethers. This felt truly liberating and authentic. She would call it a sign of me becoming a better individual.

How Do You Prepare To Process Rejection?
I showed up to my Podcast station. A part of me was ready with a clear action step to just record one of my published articles. Easy right?
Another part of me which I honored immediately, opened a random page from "Meditations To Heal Your Life" by Louis L Hay
Guess what was the title?
REJECTION
As I read this page loudly in front of the mirror, I was clearly indicated by my Higher Power or Infinite Being or God whatever you may name, to just share this valuable affirmation with my audience.
That is exactly what I did!
When you listen, you will understand how you and me can internalize and benefit from this affirmation and make our day a meaningful one!
