Embracing yin and yang

Are you more of a night or morning person?

Oh, mornings are so my time! Waking up late? No way—that’s missing the grand show! Sunrises painting the sky, birds belting out their greatest hits—it’s pure magic! There’s nothing like soaking in the morning sunshine, meditating, and gearing up for an epic day ahead.

But oh, when night rolls around, I just can’t let it go! Handing over the day to sleep? Tragic. Heartbreaking. There’s always one more page to read, one more thought to ponder, one last spark of creativity to chase.

So, what’s the verdict? Am I a morning or a night person? Honestly, it’s impossible to pick. I’m pulling a full-on Libra here—both have their irresistible charm! Mornings inspire, nights mesmerize, and I’m here for it all.

Life’s too precious to play favorites. Every second, every moment is a tiny miracle waiting to be savored. Sleep? Sure, it’s important—can’t function without it. But let’s not let it hog the spotlight! Day and night are my dynamic duo, yin and yang, partners in this grand adventure.


So here’s the plan: live wide awake, dream when it’s time, and embrace it all. Why choose when you can have everything?

~ Tech madness ~

What technology would you be better off without, why?

Ah, modern technology, the gift that keeps on giving… and occasionally driving us mad. Among the many so-called advancements, there’s one invention I fervently wish had never seen the light of day: automatic calling technology. You know, the one that allows soulless robots to infiltrate our phones and disrupt our peace? If ever there were an argument for rolling back progress, this would be it.


Let me paint you a picture of my pet peeve. Imagine a tireless army of pesky robots, working through database after database, hunting for phone numbers to invade your privacy. You block one number, and—like some twisted game of whack-a-mole—they call you from another. But it’s not even a human agent you can scold or pity; no, it’s a monotone voice recording, chirping lifelessly at you to press buttons. Buttons! As if solving a problem they created is now your responsibility.


Before long, my phone ends up permanently on silent mode, not to protect my ears, but to safeguard my nervous system from yet another unsolicited call. And let’s talk about the masterminds behind these wretched technologies. Relentless doesn’t even begin to describe them. I often wonder, how on earth do they sell anything with such infuriating tactics? Honestly, have you ever met someone who joyfully proclaimed, “Oh yes, I made my last big purchase because a robot told me to”? No? Me neither.


So here we are, victims of progress, silenced by our own phones. If there’s any solace, it’s knowing we’re all in this together, united in our hatred of spam calls. Perhaps one day, humanity will rise up against the tyranny of automated telemarketing. Until then, I’ll keep my phone on silent and my fingers ready to block.

Why I Won’t Compromise on My Perfectly Ridiculous Routine

What part of your routine do you always try to skip if you can?

“Noooo! Don’t you dare suggest I skip a step in my perfectly curated daily ritual! Every little detail, from the precise angle of my toothpaste tube to the sacred order of my morning coffee brewing, is a masterpiece of efficiency. I’m not doing this for mom or dad anymore. I’m doing it for me.

Can you imagine crafting a beautiful, intricate ritual only to sabotage it with a half-hearted effort? It’s like baking a gourmet cake and then frosting it with a glop of store-bought icing. A travesty, I say!

So, my advice? If something in your ritual isn’t bringing you joy, toss it out faster than a bad roommate. Be the captain of your own ship, and steer it towards a future of perfectly timed toasts and perfectly brewed coffee.


And remember, if you ever find yourself questioning the sanity of your daily routine, just remember: we’re all a little bit crazy, and that’s what makes life interesting. Or at least that’s what I tell myself when I spend 10 minutes trying to get the perfect amount of soap on my loofah.”

Love: Keep It Simple

Love: Keep It Simple


Love is often made complex by societal expectations, cultural norms, and personal baggage. However, at its core, love is a simple and universal emotion. It doesn’t discriminate based on physical appearance, spiritual beliefs, or any other superficial factors.


The Essence of Love

  • Balance: Love is about finding equilibrium. It’s neither too much nor too little.
  • Yielding: Sometimes, love means letting go of your own desires to prioritize the happiness of another.
  • Compassion: Empathy and understanding are essential components of love.
  • Devotion: Love is a commitment to another person, regardless of circumstances.
  • Attraction: Love is a natural pull towards someone, both physically and emotionally.
  • Intimacy: Love is about sharing your deepest self with another.

The Mystery of Love

Love is a beautiful mystery. It’s a force that can transform lives, bring joy, and create lasting connections. By keeping love simple and focusing on its essential qualities, we can experience its true power and beauty

A magnetic awakening

What a privilege to wake up in this house! The sun is streaming in through the windows to feed the soul. I breathe in deeply being revitalized by the early morning air. The day is awakening in me with every deep breath I take. I am grateful for the opportunity to live life today. I am inspired to slip into the IS rune position and meditate on my inner magnetism growing and strengthening more and more.

My imagination paints a picture of a soul nourished by the sweet nectar of life itself. As the sun rises, each ray of light seems to touch my spirit and breathe new life into every pore of my being. The world comes alive around me, not just outside my window, but within my heart, soul, and mind. I raise my thoughts to it’s noblest heights .

How lucky I am to begin my day with such clarity, gratitude, and pure joy. May each breath I take today be a reminder of the beauty and wonder that surrounds me in this glorious world. I will step into this day full of power and health.

I step into the day not just with my feet, but with my whole being. My mind is a canvas of possibilities, my heart an untamed force of love, and my soul a beacon of light. Each step forward is a declaration of my power and intent, each breath a testament to my courage and strength. The world is my stage and I will with the best of my knowledge and abilities to help, assist and protect my fellow human beings. I embrace the wonder of life and let it carry me forward into the dawn of a new day, where adventure awaits and dreams are realized.

The stillness of the morning captures the magic of the moment when the sun’s rays kisses the earth’s first smile. I love how I am able to see the world this morning through glasses of gratitude and the aroma of coffee brewing. Let the energy of the sun flow into my consciousness of being!

ARAHARI!
