Reset and Ascend


Every now and again, it is important to take a worthwhile break from the busy hustle and bustle of work schedule. Work/Life Balance if not well handled and managed, could consequently result into a burn-out. And once this happens, productivity could be negatively affected, let alone the other potential extreme mental health side-effects such as depression.

To reset therefore, becomes a viable opportunity to regenerate one’s own mental, physical and spiritual strength to get a fresh start.

For one to reset, it simply means taking time out for oneself to do something refreshing and enjoy-able. It is an activity that enhances and renews one’s positive energy. There’s a part of us that always needs to be reconstituted. And this can be achieved by doing things that restore a sense of balance in the way one feels and looks at life.

There is no one-size-fits-all prescription on what must be done to reset. What matters is that it is done on a regular basis. For instance, one can choose to do this at least once in a day, a week, or a month depending on the need.

Resetting provides us with an opportunity to raise the level of our mindset and vision. One is able to ascend above average thinking, and create fresh perspectives and insights to situations.

The regular routine has become like second nature. It is like we operate in auto-pilot mode with daily mundane tasks for the jobs we go to, or the tasks we attend to being completed mindlessly. “Just another day”, we tell ourselves; and the cycle continues.

Making time and space for yourself to reset allows you to break all this boring cycle.

One ancient and famous writer, once penned the following statement: “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

In some way the writer advised us to reset regularly and ascend above average by renewing our minds, not forgetting the body and soul.

Question is: What are you doing frequently, for your mind, body and soul, to reset and ascend? It is in resetting that we ascend.

Doing it!

  What are you not doing that you should be doing? What are you doing that you should not be doing? What were you supposed to have done that you did not do? What do you enjoy doing that you have ignored for so long? Do you know what you are supposed to be doing now, at this point in your life? Are you happy with what you are doing in your life right now? When will you start doing it… that which you know serves you well, and brings out the best in you? Doing that one thing; that one must do to make a difference in one’s own life and the lives of the loved ones, is a challenge that many find themselves in. How come we find it a challenge to do that one thing, which could lead to our breakthrough? What stops us from being bold to take that very first step, especially when we are aware of that which must be done? Is it fear of success or fear of failure, or laziness? "You’ll never plough a field by turning it over in your mind," so says an Irish Proverb. In other w...

Let's do this!

  Today, 01 July marks the beginning of the second half of the year 2021. What a tumultuous first half of the year that many of us have experienced. In some cases, the traces of pain are still existing. We have witnessed, or heard of, families that have lost their loved ones in a matter of hours or within days and weeks. In some cases, a whole family is lost, especially due to COVID. As a COVID survivor, and having lost my mother to COVID, each story that I have encountered has made me re-live my own experience of fear, pain, horror, and loss. I sympathize and empathize. But for some reason, I have also come to realize that one can still find courage and hope amidst all the bad things that may be happening around one’s life. Living in South Africa makes me appreciate more and more about Mandela’s stance on courage and fear. One day he said, “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but h...

BOPA MOSADI – Build a Woman!

BOPA MOSADI – Build a Woman! During this past week, I had the privilege of interacting with twenty female budding entrepreneurs, through a Training and Coaching Session. The session was organized as part of an on-going business development project named as Bopa Mosadi a Setswana phrase that means to build or mold a woman. The purpose of this project is to empower the carefully selected young businesswomen, to bridge the economic gap by equipping them with relevant and practical knowledge and business skills. Consequently this aims at enabling them to penetrate and compete in the economy through their small businesses.
