Digital Declutter-Self Growth

Hey All, Namasthe & Greetings!

In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to get caught up in the endless stream of emails, social media notifications, and other digital distractions that compete for our attention. As a mother, it can be challenging to balance the demands of technology with the responsibilities of raising children and nurturing self-growth.

That's why it's important to take a step back and embark on a digital declutter. A digital declutter involves taking a break from technology and assessing how it's impacting your life. Here are some tips on how to get started:

"Technology is a useful servant but a dangerous master." - Christian Lous Lange

Set boundaries: Establish specific times during the day when you will engage with technology, and use the rest of the time to focus on your personal growth and motherhood.

"Put down your phone and be present in the moment. The memories you make will last a lifetime." - Unknown

Prioritize self-care: Use the time that you're not engaged with technology to prioritize your self-care. Whether it's reading a book, taking a bath, or going for a walk, use this time to focus on your personal growth and well-being.

"You can't pour from an empty cup. Take care of yourself first." - Unknown

Create technology-free zones: Designate certain areas of your home as technology-free zones, such as the dinner table or the bedroom. This will help you be more present with your family and create a space for meaningful interactions.

"Disconnect to connect." - Unknown

Practice mindfulness: Incorporate mindfulness practices, such as meditation or deep breathing, into your daily routine. This can help you stay focused on the present moment and reduce stress and anxiety.

"Mindfulness is a way of befriending ourselves and our experience." - Jon Kabat-Zinn

By embarking on a digital declutter, you can prioritize self-growth and motherhood, and be more present with your family. Remember, the time that you spend with your children is precious and fleeting, so it's important to make the most of it and create meaningful memories that will last a lifetime.

Be Happy & Stay Positive.

Yours

That Random day in my life.....

That day began like any other, filled with gratitude to Narasimha and hope for the day ahead. I went to work, but by mid-day, something shifted. I fell sick—suddenly, unexpectedly—and as the hours passed, my condition worsened. It wasn’t just an ordinary illness; this time, it felt heavy, like a storm I couldn’t escape. For a moment, I wondered if I would survive. And in that quiet space, where everything else faded, two thoughts consumed me: What about my son? Will my husband manage without me? And then a strange question arose—Is my purpose done? Am I leaving because I’ve already fulfilled what I came to do? ( may be if we feel that moments are our last seconds and if we feel that we don't see tomorrow,then the most precious things alone we might be remember and we would recollect ..it would have scroll down like a reel those precious moments, and so i felt about my son and husband) After several tests, the diagnosis finally came through: viral and bacterial pneumoni...

The Bird Who Chose to Fly Higher

Hey all, Namasthe and Welcome to The Voice of Chittan ! I’m back with another soulful reflection, one that speaks to every heart that’s ever felt unheard, every spirit that’s been tested, and every dream that’s dared to rise above the noise. Today’s blog is a story of resilience, mindful living, and the quiet strength that often goes unnoticed, until it chooses to fly high. Let’s dive in. In a quiet forest, there lived a bird unlike the rest. It wasn’t the loudest, nor the fastest. It didn’t compete for attention or join the noisy flocks that filled the skies with chaos. This bird had a different way of being,it moved slowly, intentionally, and mindfully. Its path wasn’t always clear, but its heart was steady. Every day, it focused on what mattered,its purpose, its values, and its inner peace. But the world around it didn’t understand silence. A flock of noisy birds began to notice this quiet one. They squawked and laughed, mocking its calm demeanor. “Why are you so slow?” the...

The Beauty of Slowing Down

Hey all,Namaste. thank you for tuning in voice of chittan blog. Today, I want to talk about something we often overlook but desperately need: "the art of doing nothing.” Life has a funny way of surprising us, doesn’t it? There are days when no matter how hard we plan, things just don’t go our way. Deadlines get missed, expectations aren’t met, and sometimes, it feels like the world is rushing by while we’re stuck in slow motion. It’s frustrating, right? But what if I told you that these unexpected pauses are not failures—they’re opportunities? Opportunities to breathe. To reflect. To just be. Think about it. From the moment we wake up, we’re chasing something—goals, recognition, validation, or even the next item on our to-do list. But do we ever pause and ask ourselves, “Why?” Why are we running? And more importantly, where are we running to? Here’s the thing: not every day has to be about hitting targets or checking boxes. Sometimes, the most meaningful moments come ...

Your cracks in life are golden

Hey all...Namaste🙂 let me tell you about something I recently came across that completely changed how I see life. It’s this Japanese philosophy called Kintsugi. Ever heard of it? It’s basically the art of fixing broken pottery with gold. But hang on, it’s way more than that. Imagine this—you drop your favorite ceramic mug. It shatters. The first instinct? Toss it..we will throw it away, isn't it? Because broken things are useless, isn't it? But this is Not in Kintsugi. In Kintsugi, those cracks are celebrated in its own way. You know how? They’re filled with gold. And when you look at the repaired piece, it’s not just a mug anymore. It’s a story, a piece of art. It’s more valuable than it was before. And that got me thinking—what if we looked at ourselves the same way? I am sure you agree with me if I say this..., life breaks all of us in some way. Maybe it’s a failed relationship, a career setback, losing someone you love, or just that quiet feeling that you’re not enough. We...

where true power lies??

Namasthe to "Voice of Chittan" Readers! As we sat together for a family movie night, immersed in the gripping tale unfolding on the screen, the hero stood alone, fighting against injustice. The villains, armed with massive weapons, seemed invincible, while the hero wielded nothing but a simple hammer. Watching intently, my son turned to me and asked, "How can he stop evil with just a hammer?" Without a second thought, completely absorbed in the moment, I responded, "Balam aayudham lo undadhu… daanni patte vaadilo untundhi!" (Strength is not in the weapon, but in the one who wields it.) As soon as I uttered those words, something struck me. I paused. I pondered. Wasn't this the essence of every great story, every legend, and every real-life victory? The Gandiva was powerful only because it was in Arjuna’s hands, used for a righteous cause. The Sudarshana Chakra became a force of protection and justice only when wielded by Lord Krishna. Hanuman, though ...

బలం నీ చేతిలో ఉన్న ఆయుధంలో కాదు…దృఢ సంకల్పంలో ఉంది.

మేమంతా ఒక సినిమా చూస్తూ ఆసక్తిగా మునిగిపోయాం. కథలో, ధర్మాన్ని కాపాడేందుకు పోరాడుతున్న హీరో ఒక్కడు. విలన్లు భారీ ఆయుధాలతో ఉగ్రరూపంలో కనిపిస్తున్నారు, కానీ హీరో చేతిలో కేవలం ఒక త్రిశూలం లాంటి సామాన్యమైన ఆయుధం మాత్రమే. With deep involved ..చూస్తున్న నా కొడుకు నన్ను ఆశ్చర్యంగా అడిగాడు, "అమ్మా, ఇతను ఈ చిన్న ఆయుధంతో ఎలా ఈ రాక్షసులను ఓడిస్తాడు?" సినిమాలో నేను అంతగా లీనమై, వెంటనే స్పందించాను, "బలం ఆయుధంలో ఉండదు… దాన్ని పట్టిన వాడిలో ఉంటుంది!" ఆ మాట నాకెందుకో లోపల ఏదో ఆలోచనను రేకెత్తించింది. ఒక్కసారిగా ఆగిపోయి లోతుగా తర్కించాను. నిజంగా, ఇదేనా అన్ని మహాకావ్యాల సారం? నిజమైన శక్తి మన దగ్గర ఉన్న ఆయుధాల్లో కాదు, మన విశ్వాసంలో, మన నమ్మకంలో, మన ధైర్యంలో ఉంది. గాండీవం అర్జునుని చేతిలో ఉన్నందుకే ధర్మానికి సహాయపడింది. సుదర్శన చక్రం శ్రీకృష్ణుని జ్ఞానానికి లోబడి ధర్మరక్షణ చేసింది. హనుమంతుడు తన శక్తిని గుర్తించక ముందు సాధారణ వానరుడే… కానీ నమ్మకం కలిగిన క్షణమే అతను అపరమిత శక్తి పొందాడు. సుదర్శన చక్రం ఎందుకు కేవలం ఒక చక్రం కాదు? గాండీవం ఎందుకు సామాన్య ధనుస్సు కాదు? ఎందుకు అదే ఆయుధాలు ఇతర...

Sarvam Vishnumayam

Sarvam Vishnumayam Jagat..... The entire cosmos is pervaded by Vishnu. God is not confined to temples, names, forms, or rituals. He is the essence of everything, every being, every breath, every moment. He is the Atmic principle that resides quietly within and around us. Recently, during our spiritual trek to Ahobilam , a place soaked in the divine energy of Lord Narasimha, we encountered a profound moment of insight. As we descended the sacred hills, a group of fellow pilgrims were discussing the story of Prahlada and Hiranyakashipu . Their view was that Prahlada was the cause of his father’s death. Listening to this, I felt moved to gently intervene not to correct, but to share a deeper perspective. I said, “Prahlada was not the cause of Hiranyakashipu’s death. He was the reason for his moksha. ” Hiranyakashipu’s end was inevitable—not because of hatred or vengeance, but because he had to be liberated from the cycle of ego, delusion, and material obsession. The Lord descen...
