Resonance of Life | Anitha KC, Author of Rhythm Reset
Writes about rest, rhythm, and the quiet work of slowing down — and is the author of Rhythm Reset.
I have always liked plants, and over the years I have slowly filled my balcony with larger plants, flowering plants, and a few smaller ones inside the house. There is something about having plants around that makes a space feel more alive. I already had smaller plants inside, but I wanted something bigger, something that... Continue Reading →
We often tell ourselves there will always be a later, a better time, or another opportunity. But sometimes, living fully is simply about noticing what matters to us today and choosing not to keep everything meaningful on our "someday" list.
In my previous blog, I shared how I initially considered naming the book "Burnout to Balance." Once that name settled in my mind, I made a quiet commitment to myself that this time, I would treat the book as a project and see it through, no matter what. Having experienced earlier setbacks with unfinished manuscripts,... Continue Reading →
“Little by little, one travels far.”— J.R.R. Tolkien Some dreams stay with us for years before we realise they were guiding us all along. As a child, I loved telling stories. I would narrate little tales to younger cousins and neighbouring kids for whoever was willing to listen. Later in life, those moments returned in... Continue Reading →
Sometimes life feels unchanged on the surface — the same routines, the same responsibilities, the same familiar rhythm of days. Yet beneath it, something subtle shifts. There is a quiet awareness that a page has been turned, even if the next one has not fully revealed itself yet. Some years ago, we brought home a... Continue Reading →
“The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear.” — Rumi There are days when the mind feels heavier than the body, even when nothing particularly urgent is happening. It is not always visible, and rarely spoken about, yet it quietly shapes how we move through the day — a constant background layer... Continue Reading →
There was a time when rest felt uncomfortable to me, even when I technically allowed it. I didn’t label it as guilt back then. I just felt an urge to do something useful with that time. Sitting still, doing nothing, or simply being felt oddly incomplete, as though time was slipping away without justification. I... Continue Reading →
Many of us have learned to accept exhaustion as a normal part of life. We say life is busy, this phase is demanding, and things will settle down later. We say this while managing work, family, responsibilities, expectations, and invisible emotional labour. We say it while replying to messages late at night, planning the next... Continue Reading →
Time has wonderful ways to show us what really matters! Its been almost a year since I logged into WordPress.com to read or write! Hard to believe, but true. Life happened—too many things at once: varied interests, family needs, the decision to pursue a new career path and the preparations for it, lots of reading... Continue Reading →
You have to feed your mind daily with the good, clean, pure, powerful and positive Zig Ziglar Do you ever feel uneasy while walking on a crowded street, traveling alone in a cab, waiting for the lift, or opening the door when the bell rings unexpectedly?Do you find yourself doubting people—new or familiar—or feeling uncomfortable...

Weeds are flowers too, once you get to know them. A A Milne A day after the lockdown ended, I sat on my balcony, watching the garden below. For months, no one had touched it. Those plants had been my quiet companions during the long quarantine days—soothing, steady, alive. That morning, I noticed people pulling... Continue Reading →
This paragraph is from Like the Flowing River, written by one of my favorite authors, Paulo Coelho. In it, he shares something a woman once told him—about how she completed her pilgrimage at her own pace. Isn’t this true for all of us, in our journey through life? With increasing peer pressure and societal expectations,... Continue Reading →
Oops… It’s been a while since I wrote anything. About twenty drafts are sitting quietly, waiting for me to show up and release them from storage. It feels as though their time hasn’t come yet. Still, I thought I could at least push one simple blog — just to say I’m coming back to writing,... Continue Reading →
Be like a tree and let the dead leaves drop – Rumi For any change in life, the first step is to let go of the past. It could be habits, experiences, or anything you are holding on to. Unless we empty our cups, we cannot fill them afresh. Nature is the best teacher. As... Continue Reading →
We can easily count the seeds in an apple, but not possible to count the apples in a seed. -Unknown I came across this quote while listening to a recorded talk by Dr. Wayne Dyer. I was astonished by its truth and the simplicity with which it conveys such profound thoughts. We learned in childhood... Continue Reading →
It's not who you are that holds you backIt's who you think you're not. Hanoch McCarty There are moments when enthusiasm sparks like a firework—you see an opportunity, feel confident, and want to grab it right away. The mind races with ideas, and you are ready to take the plunge. But then, a tiny voice... Continue Reading →
