My Two Cents

Allhumdolillah! I am at a much better place since my last post with series of lab tests, utlrasounds, a mammogram and some other really scary tests, and a gut wrenching anxiety of results. I am doing well thankfully everything was clear except low iron levels with vitamin d3 deficiency. These deficiencies are now on their way to recovery. It is worth noting that I have been struggling with intense brain and physical fatigue since 2019 but not a single doctor was able to identify my problem. Once somebody is diagnosed with depression or anxiety then every health issue they complain about is looked from the psychological lenses. Nobody asked me to check iron, vitamin b12 or vitamin d3 deficiencies even my mum who is a dermatologist always assured me that I am fine and this weakness is just a phase.   It was a phase alright, it engulfed almost 8 years of my life pushed back my career and research ambitions.  This is not the case alone with me but there are many people who silentl...

Day 483…past the Day 482 dilemma..

This is a new chapter, a new beginning. It feels right, it feels anew. How many times have we realized that every morning we wake up, there is a gift of new day?

Yes life is not perfect, yes sometimes the more you try to fix things they mess up, yes the sun is not always shining in the sky, yes there are going to be screw ups. 

However, if you are alive today then it is sure sign that God has blessed us with a new opportunity. A new chance, a fresh start, bursting with the possibilities of miracles and magic.

    Going through many emotional roller coaster rides in my life, I have realized that I need to be anchored from within, in my core. Irrespective of the challenges life throws at us, we need to be focused on few things:
      
      §    Take a deep breath…. three, four or five breaths would also be great.. 

§     Whatever it is, it will pass. Everything is energy, so our lives and everyone and everything in it are also energy forms. And energy is always changing.. 

§   All situations negative or positive come to us by the will and Grace of God. 

§   Every negative situation we face is there to tell us something. It is informing us to wake up, to atone for our mistakes, to forgive, to heal, to let it go, to face whatever we are hiding ourselves from, to learn, to teach, and above all to be extremely Grateful for all that we have been given. 

§     Shift your energy focus from the bad, the sad, the miserable- to the good, to the joy and to blessings. 

And heartfelt Gratitude is the shortest, quickest way to shift your energy frequency from negative to positive. 

§    In tough times, looking up to humans for help is a pure wastage of time. Since all good and not-so-good comes only through the sanction of God, the main Source of all.  So it is better to connect with the Source, with the Root instead of begging the mortal and weak branches. 

§    Once we get online with the Source, then that Magnificent Source immediately connects us to all the right people and circumstances.    

I believe this is the essence of my life. It is not always easy to follow the above guidelines, but if we practice in good times, then these will become user-friendly in not-so-good times. I guarantee.

Much love…

Sonya Syed. (Grateful to reach Day 483).

After fighting with an alien cat in my dream, I am awake at 1.30 am. It all is followed by a futile effort of building a sleep pattern of 9.30 pm to 6 am. Alas, not all wishes come true at once. No problem I will keep on working. Being a really smart gal I have messed up with my sleep-wake cycle long ago, and today when I accidentally opened Rujuta Diwekar’s video on cortisol on my facebook page- I realized what has been going on with me.  For all of you who are not aware that I am a distant relative of Kareena Kapoor Khan and Rujuta is the link who tied  Kareena and me  together. You all must be wondering why have I never discussed this earlier, why I took so long to disclose my bond with Kareena. Let me explain.   Rujuta Diwekar is a God’s blessing for all the fools like me who for some stranger reason believe(ed) that going on USA or UK-based diet programs would make us patla (thin/ lean). It was Rujuta’s eating desi ghee and daal sabzi ch...

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS): What It Actually Feels Like

Wow! It feels nice to be back to my favourite place in the world, my blog, my love. But today it seems that the world has rotated 360 degrees. As I was trying to figure out how to tap into this new world order I thought the best way is to ask my Higher Power to guide me through. And what a better way to do that, other than recite a prayer ‘Dua Istikhara’ a supplication used by Muslims to seek guidance from Allah before making a decision. If we just read the translation of this supplication: “O Allah, I seek guidance from Your knowledge and power and ask You from Your great bounty. Surely, you can do it, and I am not. You know, and I do not, and You are the Knower of the unseen. O Allah, if You know that this matter is good for me in my religion, life, and end, then decree it for me, make it easy, and bless it for me. But if You know that this matter is bad for me, in my religion, my existence, and my end, then turn it away from me and turn me away from it, and decree for me what is g...
