Book review:

"From Drift to Shift" affirms what we as a whole naturally know about the shortcomings we possess, however again and again neglects but when we understand our spot on the planet and reach for our most elevated ideal, astonishing things can occur.

In part one of the book, she strolls us through the justifications for why moves some of the time become inescapable. In Part Two, the author guides about improvements or arrangements with which we precisely ought to make that shift, while Parts Three and Part Four spotlight on the most proficient method to move and how to guide your life in the correct course after the shift, separately.

The book is written in a conversational, engaging style - maybe you're plunking down with the individual over a feast and they are sharing their story, including the bare essential and extreme stuff, and you are generously getting it. Every one of the people began by carrying on with a day-to-day existence that was not their ideal, whether willingly or by the existence conditions that they were naturally introduced to, yet she doesn't debase their prior selves for the decisions that might have added to their despondency. All things being equal, she verifiably outlines the decisions and their effect, while additionally recognizing that those effects were vital to accomplish the shift that accordingly occurred.

This book utilizes a bit-by-bit way to deal with catching the idea of moving. In four parts, the author discusses understanding the need to make a change in "Why Shift?". Then, she makes sense of different cycles of moving, "When to Move", and "How to Move" Lastly, encourages the reader on the best way to feel in the wake of going through a change in "After the Shift". After dissecting and thinking about the sections of the book, one might become familiar with a portion of the right perspectives to embrace in the journey for bliss or essentially keeping up with it.

The author's portrayal is exceptionally elegant and she figures out how to persuade us that we as a whole need to make a change in our lives sooner or later en route to track down equilibrium, significance, and joy. Every individual highlighted in the book has effectively found their energy, done the best that they can with it, and emerged as victors in their lives. Furthermore, genuinely, why stay caught in enduring while clearing our path through it could lead us to a delightful way out on the opposite side?

All the stories were inspiring and encouraged the reader to fight for themselves as life is a blessing once attained and will never be back once gone. I liked the takeaways shared after each chapter or story. It indirectly highlighted the need to sustain and fight back all hurdles on the way. But I didn't like the use of the word S*** and F*** many times in the book. 

In general, "From Drift to Shift" was a pleasant read, and it has made me look at my life through an alternate focal point. It was elegantly composed and a fast read.

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...
