Journey of Curiosity
In today’s Indian corporate culture, Gen Z is navigating the fine line between financial success and personal authenticity. Social media and corporate expectations often steer them into a “conformity trap,” where life becomes about displaying success rather than feeling it. True freedom lies beyond paychecks and trends…here’s how to get a deeper pursuit of purpose, self-awareness, and the courage to live on one’s own terms.
In my journey with neurodivergence, I’ve found solace in the intricate details others often overlook. Despite the challenges, my ‘different’ brain has gifted me with a profound ability to see beyond the surface, finding beauty in the unexpected and joy in the everyday moments that light up my unique perspective on life.
Think of your body as a vessel for energy, absorbing from the world. A friend, facing family strife, depression, and societal expectations, blamed himself for circumstances beyond control. Many battle self-blame in societies like India, fueled by family struggles, societal pressures, and perfectionism. Recognizing these roots is crucial for empathy. Mindfulness, stepping back to analyze thoughts, can combat self-blame. Understanding shared human experiences, including the damaging cycle of self-blame, fosters a kinder world that celebrates uniqueness, breaking the cycle of self-hate. The negativity in your bucket isn’t your doing; it’s someone else’s contribution.
