Rainbow in the Sky

Rainbow Moments in My Life


My rainbow momentS
Sometimes on a rainy day, as you look through the showers you see a beautiful rainbow. You wonder at this play of nature. 
Does it not signify hope and a new beginning?  It dawns on us that just as the sun is essential to life, so is the rain. Both come together to play and form the colors of the rainbow. 

Life is also a play of sadness and happiness. Days when you feel terribly down and blue and yet as these clouds of emotion pass away to a brighter and happier day, do we not value the lesson it taught us? Isn’t that not our rainbow moment?

Do I hold on to the rainbow? Do i hold on to the happy days? Neither can i hold on to sadness nor happiness.  The more I hold on to it, the more misery will I suffer. Let them keep playing and i keep having my rainbow moments. 

Life symbolises the colours of the rainbow with all its hues and shades.  Can you name any particular color which isn’t beautiful in a rainbow? Do they not all shine forth together to create magic in the skies?

Man can definitely take cues from the rainbow. Holding on to pain, sorrow, happiness or sadness can get us nowhere. If we combine all of life’s elements together we can definitely have our rainbow moments. 
In the words of Hannah Montana, “Life’s what you make of it!”

Managing Uncertainty during these times

Uncertainty During The Time of Covid-19 &  How To Overcome It   The times are unprecedented; no one could have ever foreseen a catastrophe such as this pandemic. It is just impossible to fathom that something so tiny, turned out to be so powerful that it was able to bring the entire world to a grinding halt. The best part is that this virus has shown no bias; it did not discriminate by colour, race, gender or even nationality. The Covid-19 virus has just proven to be one of its kind!    The effects of this pandemic have been numerous, to say the least – anxiety, uncertainty, depression, job losses, financial instability, travel restrictions, etc., are just some of the many ‘side-effects’. Under such circumstances, where things are not under your control, it is easy to become overwhelmed by fear and negative emotions.

Use of flooding (classic conditioning) technique in real life – a case study This is a real case study of how we implemented and used flooding technique described in psychology.  Our granddaughter visited us with our daughter and son-in-law.

First we bought a plastic kids doctor kit for her to play with – she was quite OK to get familiar with it, so slowly we started showing her various instruments in it and how they are used, so there was a small plastic scissor in the set and we purposely told her that it is used for hai
