My mind - A funny place



My mind is like a grocery store . So many things cross by . Like whats to be worn for the evening , to why I should stop shopping , do some social service and what the hell is wrong with the economy ? 

I look at it as how productive it can be. However , I lack the skill to prioritise thoughts and actions.

When I find the thought is really negative , my * ANNOYED * feature gets activated . After a while , I be like . Stop it you ! You're just a thought . You have crossed my mind and now ... Kindly park your vehicle here and move away. I have no fodder here . 

Sometimes , when I see 22 year old millennials turn millennials . I totally loose it . My * COMPARE * feature gets auto activated. I be like - Wajeeha ! What a failure are you ? People around you , as old as you have turned millionaires , are inspiring people , bringing in a change and you there ain't able to help people with your degree ! You have not even graduated . Look at the  fellow medicos from other medical colleges. Look at the way they multi-task. 
You should be here by now. You should be there by now... This influences me to an extent that I post really depressing posts on social media of how tangled my life is , like a damsel in distress. 

After a while , I look at the thought . I identified it ,aware of it . I said to my thought :
I know you are there .
I am not going to associate with you. 
I am not putting you in my basket.
I am not going to use you for anything.
Thanks for showing up! See ya later 💃
There is the door.
Lol ! Before You Think I have a bipolar disorder . Let me end this 😂😜

What I have realised is that we can take control of our minds and direct our minds to a place thats much more beneficial for us in a day and in longterm.

So , I have planned a mantra to calm my mind down , get in right frame of mind to get as many things done today as you possibly can.

I can do this . Let me get to do this!
I'm capable of achieving everything in my plate ... With ease!

So , tell me how do you trick your brain to get things done?

Tired now. Bye.

Experience Based Co Design : BCT Series XXIX

  "Experience-Based Co-Design" we have all witnessed its essence unknowingly . My family home is the example I can reflect on .Growing up I didn't like how my house was designed. We (the whole extended family) wanted my dad to sell the house . Dad let his architect friend design our house and would not sell his house (for obvious reasons!). Mum had to balance out the situation so she decided to make small changes. So, it was one change idea each year .She would talk to us individually and listen to our perspective and review her sphere of influence and the impact /utility the idea had.For my siblings the colors were not welcoming while I pointed the flooring. Mum wanted the stairs to be personalised. My grandparents wanted certain conveniences around the toilets. It took her about 4-5 years to make the house a home that was acceptable . From color preferences to spatial arrangements, each family member contributed insights. The lovely thing about it was , the keystakehold...

Parallel Universe : BCT Series XXX

  Two moments in the ED this week made me realize that I come from a parallel universe. One involved a teenage patient who had applied bronzer that I found while cleaning her skin for a IV cannula which left me surprised as I come from a part of the world where teenagers paint their skin with whitening agents to look more attractive. The second moment was during my teaching session on Organophosphorous poisoning, where I wondered if my accent was causing disengagement . However, I learned that it was simply a rare presentation of organophosphorous poisoning in this part of the world. It felt like I was narrating my adventures from a tropical trek! Have you ever had a moment where your cultural background clashed with your environment ?

First Night Shift Leading: Canvas Chaos to Calm Chap: BCT Series XXV

Hello All Ever had one of those nights where everything that could go wrong seems to do just that? Let me take you on a rollercoaster of candid chaos and unexpected brilliance, as I navigated my first night leading a shift in an unfamiliar center. Picture this: Stress levels through the roof, feeling like a fish out of water, and apologizing more times than I can count. My team's glances were a mix of skepticism and judgment, and I questioned every decision I made. Forgetfulness, clumsy mistakes, and endless apologies became the soundtrack of the night, and I found myself stumbling into the wee hours, going home much later than planned. The turning point came when I spilled my chaotic night to the senior who took over from me. His two cents were a revelation – insights, strategies, and a perspective that turned my canvas of confusion into a potential masterpiece. The consultant, in a one-on-one, shared even more wisdom on navigating the intricacies of a shift leader role. Feedback,...
