Brave Inked Emotions Presented by Roma Gupta Sinha | Book review

Book review:


"Brave Inked Emotions" is a soulful life experience of eminent Indian writers on how life taught them precious lessons in their emotional battles. This book is a collection of 31 short real-life stories of these authors who experienced a lot of trauma in their lives. Most women face trauma or depression at one or the other time but it is hard to reveal the in-depth wounds or pains. In this book, I found out relatable stories that each woman feels the battles or hurdles they have faced in their lives.


Each story begins with an inspirational quote and ends up giving a brief introduction of the author. Though each story is inspirational and reflects the stringent path they followed I liked:

💦 Life, Wheels and More

💦 A Teen's Healing Journey

💦 An Incident that shook my Soul 

💦 Taming my Anger

💦 Motherhood Taught Me This


This book highlights the spirit, the strength and the change that women are capable of. Their emotions, emotional intelligence and wellness make them the mirage of Goddess Durga who fought all the evil demons and evoked victory. 


The authors shared their hurdles during the post-natal depression, holocaust, toxic parents, and many more. A few of the questions or steps they shared:


💛Never give up your respect at any cost.


Respect is the ornament of any person but for women, it is the most preferential thing to be kept in mind while doing any work. Women need to take care of their respect in workplaces and prevent themselves from being victims of any sort of harassment.


💛 It is important to use social media carefully.


Social media has become a necessity of the generation of these days. But to be vigilant is also essential. As a lot of frauds and crimes are taking place you need to share that much content that is fine with you. 


💛Take time to bond with your partner


Your spouse may become your support system or your biggest weakness. So do have an empathetic relation especially when one is angry or going through tough times. It is important to be emotionally strong to deal with all your strifes and issues.


The authors have written in lucid language and narrated their tales guiding the readers to not make the same mistake. Most of the stories were deeply connected to me too. They guided how to deal with emotional rollercoasters, financial twists, spouse mood swings, learning to speak up, navigating loneliness and many more.


Overall, this book is a testament to their victory over hurdles or miseries they suffered. They indirectly guide that if they can win over their strifes then any woman can. They guide women to learn from their experiences and stand high evoking as a winner. 


Blurb:


Emotions are beautiful but are also very powerful. They can uplift us at one moment but can sink us really deep the very next. Every coming generation seems to be getting weaker and weaker in handling their emotions and it is heart-breaking to see so many succumbing to suicide or mental health failure. To us not only our emotions are extremely vital but also of our loved ones and each one of us devices his or her own techniques to fare better when thrown out of our comfort zone and I guess experience teaches us the most about how to secure our emotional wellness.


So here is a delve into 31 soulful life experiences of eminent Indian writers of how life taught them precious lessons on emotional strength which someone in a similar boat can use as a guiding light to deal better. You can read an unimaginable range of true stories here right from a young bride's exemplary resilience to a wheelchair-ridden young girl's biography. There's a counselor giving her heart and soul to her student and there's a destiny's chosen child stumbling and weaving back life at every step in life and many many more. They all will touch your soul like never before, giving you precious lessons on emotional wellness.

Taming the Turbulent Mind: Yogic Meditation and Mindfulness by Deekay

 Taming the Turbulent Mind: Yogic Meditation and Mindfulness for Combating Overthinking, Achieving Stress Relief, and Attaining Absolute Peace  Deekay | Book Review What is turbulence? Any thoughts, or have you ever tried to tame any animal? I remember watching circus shows organised once a year in the city's open area for all the locals to enjoy. There I used to cherish the person who tamed the elephants or the lion (if any). But today I thought of taming my mind. Every second our thoughts are randomly moving and giving us goosebumps. Nowadays people have so many threads of work looming in their minds that they feel like completing but fail to prioritise. To dive into a river is not easy. But only a few people have the calibre to do that. The same is true with diving in your mind. This practice needs calmness of mind and anxiety levels to be very low. I had heard about meditation and its techniques to apply in your daily routine, but when I stumbled upon this book, my myths w...

My journey of motherhood| Tips for mothers with ASD children

  My Journey of Motherhood: To date, I remember how I was rushed to the hospital as I was feeling uneasy and could not feel any movement inside the womb. I got hospitalized in an emergency and tests were conducted. I was on a regular checkup by the doctors every hour and after some time I was advised not to eat or drink after this hour. I was too dumb to understand the situation. In the morning, when I woke up the doctor who was handling my case came to check me and bombarded me when I mentioned that I drank a glass of water. His anger had no limits and he scolded the staff for not supervising me properly. In a fraction of a second, a decision was made. I was prepared for my c-section. But I was not mentally prepared for it, I started making lame excuses but to no avail. At last, I was taken in the OT and the process started. I was only able to hear the idle banter of doctors and nurses inside. After some time I heard the first cry of my child and I forgot all my pains. The doctor ...
