Kumar's podcasts on Self-Belief & Confidence

Wishing you and your family an Abundant and Happy NEW YEAR 2021. In the current pandemic, there have been job losses, pay cuts and in such an upheaval it’s easy to ignore what you are worth. And in the economic crisis that resulted, it’s easy to lose sight of what you and your expertise would actually be worth thus ending up in undervaluing yourself in terms of expertise and value. True worth is a combination of knowing your value as well as self worth. Both these qualities of Values and Self Worth are inextricably linked. Your True Worth is measured by who you are at your core. True Worth is Believing in yourself, believing that you are worthy, irrespective of relationship, position, status, professional success, your financial wealth, or your looks.

Wish you and your family a very Happy Christmas. Procrastination is the act of unnecessarily postponing decisions or actions. It is said that Everyone procrastinates, but not everyone is a procrastinator. My 35th podcast is on PROCRASTINATION, and ways to overcome it. What causes procrastination are few reasons – Phobia Fear, Poor Lifestyle and Low Energy levels, Insecurity, No Focus and Obsession with perfection. In this podcast I have detailed how procrastination was the cause and how I was able to overcome it before getting into podcasting. Just like the Nike ad that says “YESTERDAY YOU SAID TOMORROW – JUST DO IT”, getting over procrastination is by understanding the why, taking baby steps and backing your ability.

Stress, we must understand, is the Body’s natural survival response to handle a situation that is unforeseen. And the COVID-19 pandemic has been a gigantic crisis of unprecedented proportions and stress is a natural corollary. Stress is good when it supports and gives you extra strength to stay focused, energetic and alert. It is this “stress” that keeps you fully alert during that crucial work related presentation or in a critical moment in a football match or while studying for an exam. But it is this same stress that stops being useful when it starts to damage your health, your relationships, your productivity and your life. Some coping strategies that will make stress work positively for us are (1) Deep Breathing (2) Having an Exercise routine (3) Music (4) spending time with a pet (5) following and visualizing your passion (6) Adequate Sleep and (7) Having a healthy diet. With experimentation you can identify the stress reliever solution that works for you. And with discipline and consistent practice, you will make stress work positively for you.

WISHING ALL MY LISTENERS A HAPPY HEALTHY & PROSPEROUS DIWALI. Welcome to my 29th podcast. This podcast is about making Happiness your companion irrespective of the ups or downs in your lives. Does Happiness happen only when we succeed in buying a house, or when we get a promotion or when we complete our MBA course? When we say that we will be happy once we reach our goal, it really means that we are okay being unhappy till our goal is achieved. An ingrained myth is that happiness automatically follows when you achieve your goals. I say, Turn this myth around, put happiness first. Happiness is not waiting outside to find us. And that’s because its waiting to be found inside us. In this podcast I share ten simple techniques of how to be happy with yourself despite the setbacks in your life. These are (a) Acceptance / Making Peace with being Unhappy (b) Be alive with the pain (c) Practice Smiling (d) Go out, Exercise and feel alive (e) Meditate (f) Be compassionate with yourself (g) Sleep More (h) Practice Gratitude (i) Make others happy (j) Relook at your perspective. Listen to me speak on the fundamental truths that you can include in your daily routine. Join me in this journey of self-belief and confidence, making Happiness our Friend and partner in building a better version of ourselves and bringing a difference within our universe.
