Yellow Ticoma:Where Can you Grow it?
Yellow Ticoma:Where Can you Grow it? Should you grow it on your Balcony or Garden?
Ticoma Yellow is a tree .But when I planted in on my balcony pot eight years back,I didn’t know it and thank God for that.
It can be overwhelming knowing what exactly you are up against.The Ticoma flowered and still flowering.And in the last two years I have planted the Ticoma in two other plots of family land.Its easy to grow with no special needs.
So many trees to choose from why the yellow Ticoma ?
First it grows quickly into a tree .It’s a proper tree on the balcony and then plant in on any plot of land it will shoot way up.
Second it flowers almost the entire year around but the winters are it’s best time when the entire flower family from the Ticoma clan say hi.
The bell shaped yellow flowers are a cross between lemon yellow and buttercup yellow ,not really gold but a warm sunny happy yellow which will definitely make you smile .
Three tips to grow Ticoma on your balcony.
1.Choose a sunny spot.
2.Start with a sapling and go for a progressively bigger pot .Keep a soil filled tray below the pot.That way the excess water which spills will not
3.Keep trimming the branches and dead leaves.Use water from the aquarium to make them bloom even more.
On days when I feel that I am not doing enough,I remember all the trees we planted all the people I helped get better .Both make me feel happy.
Trees give us a chance to go back to being a child in mother nature’s lap.Its our safe place.The farther we move away from the green trees ,leaves,flowers, birds the faster we loose the sparkle in our eyes.
Mental health is creating a lot of worries now.My mental health improves when I am outdoors walking among trees. We all need to try and get green back into our community spaces because together ,life is better.
The Yellow Ticoma never fails to please .This tree is 3 years old and has been pruned atleast 3/4 times.Its bright yellow flowers are a joy to behold.

How to Make the Right Choices in Life
Estimated reading time: 4 minutes
How to make the right choices in life for mental health and happiness? Did you know happiness and heart health has a close association? Where we are born and how we look are not in our hands. Everything else after the age of self-realization is a choice. It may be good, sometimes doubtful in its wisdom but a choice. For happiness, good mental health is a must, and vice versa. After reading this post, I hope you will make choices that will make you happier.
When we remember the good old days and smile, that’s a choice. When we think of it as the golden age, and now everything is rotten, that’s a choice. When we write a letter to the Universe, wishing on the stars, that may be a waste of time in the eyes of some and important in others. But for me, it’s a choice.
What you study is a choice. What you do as a hobby is a choice. Who you marry is a choice. To have kids or not is a choice; what you teach your kids is a choice.

Study Tips from a Bookworm Mommy
When we skip the child’s birthday for an office meeting, that’s a difficult choice. But sometimes, it feels like a one-way street. A life of work or a life of leisure is also a choice. You can choose to have both depending on how you plan your life.
I like to spend time at my clinic when my daughter is at school. This was a choice. Initially not very sensible career-wise for multiple reasons. But it’s done, and now it’s a struggle.
If you know someone in a situation whose problems and your problems can be solved by a single solution. But that would require you to adjust to certain things. But what if you are incompatible? What do you do?
The best solution falls apart when there’s no peace. So it’s not primed for success. But even then, it could work if both parties truly wanted the solution.
So it’s again a choice. I am learning to accept my choices and avoid choices that don’t work from history.
Don’t expect different results if you do the same thing with the same person.
Bishabrikha: The Poison Tree
So there’s a tree right outside the window of my clinic. That’s the tree the monkey and birds visit. I have seen the monkeys chomp on the pretty yellow flower.
One day I got a flower, a fruit, and two leaves from the tree, wanting to ask my husband to buy a sapling for our village home.I found out it’s a poisonous tree where the fruits contain poison. But how pretty was the tree! All that’s beautiful is not safe.
Lesson learned. All that’s fun is not good for us. All that looks sensible may not be good for us either. It’s okay to have fun while studying.
How will you make the best choice for your mental peace and happiness?
Be honest with yourself. Have an inner dialogue to clear up your doubts. Ask yourself what you really need from a particular situation. Be clear in identifying your needs and wants.
Do the research. Before taking any life-altering decision, do due diligence. Ask your friends, family, and mentors in online communities, and read books and articles. In the age of the internet, research is possible anywhere.
Take responsibility for your decision, choices, action, and inaction. The day you blame only yourself for what happens, you get the credit too. Being responsible starts with your mind.
Conclusion
Books are judged by their covers. But sometimes the plainest books have the best stories. Life is a maze of questions whose answers give us more questions. It’s an open loop where you can change how the story moves forward. Stay curious but with your wise hat on. If you can stand by your choice but can’t imagine telling your favorite person to do the same thing, your choice may need a re-look test. Otherwise, I am sure you are going to be Unstoppable!Writing this as a part of Blogchatter’s CauseAchatter .Read all my CauseAChatter posts
