This Teacher’s Day, Give Yourself the Gift of New Learnings

As India went into lockdown earlier this year, living in a digital world become the new normal. Especially in a country where socializing and social learnings are integral parts of everyday experiences, attuning to these changes have been hard for many.

With everything going in a shutdown mode, most of us have more time at our disposal to explore newer avenues and learn new skills. During a time when uncertainty about the future is on everyone’s minds, traversing through new modes of learnings can be the best way to keep calm and stay focused. And what better way than to go back to our cultural roots to help us learn and provide wisdom on how to navigate the future and maintain a balance.

Historically, Indian culture has hidden treasures that can effectively enable any human being to become a better version of themselves. With Teachers Day here, one of the best ways to commemorate this day is by gifting yourself valuable lessons from our rich heritage during this lockdown.

 

1.       Bhagavad Gita

2.       Meditation

The Indian art of Yoga and meditation is more than a spiritual exercise; it is a way of life. These practices have been advocated by many leaders, scholars and various professionals as a successful way to learn how to calm your mind. While there are several techniques and types of exercises, you can learn a few on your own and make it a part of your daily routine. A simple mantra chanting or yoga meditation through various pranayama exercises can help you clear your mind and enable you to stay focused in every activity that you do. It can also help you stay positive and increase productivity which will help you overcome any distress that you may be facing at present.

3.       Reading

Books are no doubt the fundamental source of any kind of knowledge and information. While fiction is always a good choice to opt for a mental getaway during these trying times, self-help books and biographies especially are the optimal choice to ensure self-evolvement as these contain a plethora of

 

knowledge that is vital for one’s betterment physically, spiritually and mentally. India has a rich literary history across languages that have so many texts which both impart wisdom as well as make for great reads during leisure time.

4.       Online socializing

Our social experiences and the people around us play a significant role in guiding us through difficult times and helping us de-stress. While social distancing has become a mandated safety precaution, that doesn’t need to hamper our social experiences. A quick video chat with friends or planned online group activities can be great ways to connect with your near and dear ones. Even when you are feeling like you need advice on some matter that is causing a lot of concern, a 10 minute call with a family member or friend can help you ease your worry and even get guidance on possible ways to deal with the problem.

While a lot of activities may have gone on pause mode at present, learning is something that should never be paused. So this Teacher’s Day, let’s commit to continue to expand our knowledge and be prepared to deal with whatever the future may hold.
