10 Toxic Habits to Give Up Today to Become Your Best Self
There are so many of us who go like “I am great at doing so and so. If only I could stop doing this one thing, I know I am going to change my life for sure”. Does this ring a bell?

50 Journal Prompts to Help You Connect with Yourself
I just got back from a vacation to the mountains. And mountains always put me in a very pensive mood. There is just something about the enormity of the Himalayas that makes you reflect and wonder about yourself and your life. They make you think about how insignificant some of the problems that we think we have are. And they make you ponder on the futility of certain worries that you have. And what better tool do we have for self-reflection and self-assessment than journaling! I have talked extensively about how the habit of journaling can transform your life and help you build on your Life Résumé. For those of…
Building a Successful Life Résumé: July 2019
As I sat here on my table writing the title of this article, I had to pause and stare at it. I had just typed ‘July 2019’. It just suddenly dawned on me that we are in the second week of July 2019. More than half of this year has passed. And it has been half a year since I launched this beautiful blog, Life Résumé. When I first started thinking of Life Résumé as something that should be a part of everyone’s journey, I was unsure of the shape and form that it was going to take.

8 Ways Meditation will Transform You
These past few weeks, I have had an injury on my wrist. I had to take some time off from blogging as well as work. Which left me with a lot of time to do the thing I enjoy the most: Reading! (You are probably rolling your eyes, but yes, I can connect any damn topic to reading!) One of the books that I am currently reading is Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, a book by Yuval Noah Harari. While I was checking out Harari on Wikipedia (Yes, only reading books is not enough for me, I have to check out and read about the authors as well!), I…

Last week, for the long weekend, we decided to step out of town and go to the beach. Three days: disconnected from everything and everyone. We packed up a nice, small bag, beach clothing and tons of sunscreen. That’s all we needed to have a wonderful couple of days. Well, almost! Because I also had a nice bag full of my journals. Yes, journals! We have, so far, talked about various ingredients for building a wonderful Life Résumé. In the last week, we talked about habits. Habits, which are truly crucial for building your mind-blowing Life Résumé. And one of the habits that we talked about was Journaling. Today, we…
Kickass Habits for a Kickass Life
How many of us think, “I am surrounded by people who have their shit figured out”? I have always had those friends who wake up early or who work out everyday or friends who have dedicated time set aside each week to work on their hobbies or crafts and I have wondered and wondered for years how these people actually manage the time? As I started my journey into personal development and growth, there were a few things that kept popping up. But at the base of it all, there was one underlying constant that every development guru kept talking about, that one thing that seemed to be a theme…
