Ever felt exhausted absorbing new information the world feeds you everyday? or felt that it’s time to do one thing at a time? or perhaps felt like moving ahead a little slower? If yes, then join the club!

This is pretty common given that we are living in an era of continuous change. With the ‘ever-changing’ dynamic comes a plethora of issues like stress, fatigue, breakdowns, burnouts, fear of missing out and anxiety. Everyone talks about wanting CHANGE but no one talks about ways to embrace change and things that accompany it.

For instance —

We are witnessing disruptive changes across sectors everyday which are powered by smart applications, blockchain technology, AI, Augmented or Virtual reality solutions. Rapid changes in the medicine industry, new startups being founded or funded. On the other hand, the not so disruptive changes like constant social media updates about how “great” things are in people’s lives, new job posts, prodigies writing apps at the age of 9 and so on which do impact us a little.

How did you feel after reading the previous lines? Maybe you felt ‘Yes! We live in exciting times’ but a part of you probably also felt ‘Wait! Where do I fit in? or what am I doing?’. It’s alright to feel both or one more than the other because at the end we are all humans.
