Last week on #MondayMommyMoments we talked about the introvert child.Whether they need help or should they be left to themselves?When we announced our prompts, moms gave wonderful insights into the introvert /extrovert puzzle.
Moms gave wonderful insights into the introvert /extrovert puzzle.Interestingly it’s not a great divide but rather about choice and what one likes.The best pieces came from moms who were introvert themselves.
They had a view of both sides of the coin.Exactly what we wanted.
Introverts need to be shown more respect(first). As a society we somehow think they are underdogs

Takeaways this week from the #MondayMommyMoments collective mom’s wisdom
Do not label.
Take care to respect the child.
Keep a watch that solitude doesn’t become lonely.
Remember all children are unique.
Most children and adults are a pleasant mixture of both these qualities.
Check whether the child is confident and well balanced.If not then parents may need help.

The window seat in my bedroom is my favorite place to hang out when it rains.
My cup of tea, a mystery book, and a cushion.What else do you need?
I won the wow badge by Blogadda
When I look out of the window I can see the top of the medical college where I work.It’s light blue in color and eight stories high.One of the tallest building in this small town.The sky above it and all around look like a giant tent tethered on top of it.The houses next to it are just small pegs holding the tent down.
With the circus that’s happening with healthcare, the lies and half-truths the Government in India and the state are feeding the unsuspecting public, this feeling of being part of a circus is becoming stronger day-to-day.On days when I am in an introspective mood I wonder at my analogy.But on days like today when it’s drizzling throughout, the only thing that comes to my mind is the song from Sound of music.
[bctt tweet=”Raindrops on roses ,whiskers on kittens my favorite things.. when I look out of the window #MyFriendAlexa #WOW #=drAmrita” username=”misra_amrita”]
Watching the rain from my window seat reminds me of why I need to remember my favorite things.Why this is the best time of my life.Why I need to thank God for all my powers to cope.
Why God gives me my joys and troubles.I am given the cards which I can play.God is kind that way.He wants me to win.Learn and win.That’s why he gives these challenges Those that I don’t win are even more interesting.They teach in surprising ways.
The friends who walked a different path but fondly remembered.The ones who are there even miles away. The people who helped me and those who I couldn’t help.
Sitting by the window I think of all these things.But I also do one more thing.I try to let go.I put my negative thoughts and my worries free into the sky.Like Dumbledore used to empty his mind in the Pensieve, I try that.Not always successful.But it gets better with practice.
“I use the Pensieve. One simply siphons the excess thoughts from one’s mind, pours them into the basin, and examines them at one’s leisure. It becomes easier to spot patterns and links, you understand, when they are in this form.”
Albus Dumbledore explaining what a Pensieve is

My profession shows the depressing side of life too often.To help myself cope my window seat is a blessing.It’s my turn to let go ….from the window.
Beauty is more than skin deep. That’s why Indian Ayurvedic beauty treatments have world-wide a claim. But with mushrooming options for Ayurvedic beauty treatments, whom can you trust?
I believe in going back to nature to maintain health and beauty, even when I trust our modern medicine for serious health issues. Ayurveda is ancient. But its roots are deep and holds true even today.
What does Ayurveda use?
Herbs, oils, massages, yoga and spiritual, emotional well-being all come together to give your mind body spirit a center.The word Ayurveda means The Knowledge of life.
What is it based on?
The effect of the five great elements.These elements are
air, fire, water, earth, and ether.These elements make up the universe and the human body is influenced by them.
These five elements influence the three Doshas of your body.They are Vata Pitta and Kapha.In Ayurveda, it is believed that complete health is possible when there is a balance between all three doshas.If any of these
One of the three doshas dominates your body type.Imbalance of one type of dosha may cause health issues.Ayurvedic health and yoga all are personalized according to the dosha type of the person.Treatments at VLCC are perfect because your dosha type dictates what you need for complete well-being.
