Life + Love Zeta
In life class sessions, I learnt about the importance of love, forms it can be expressed in and different principles that need to be followed for a successful marriage, which includes but are not limited to commitment to love, Equality in marriage, Forgiveness in love, etc.
Marriage have different mental stages and one needs to fulfill all of them to demonstrate Unconditioned love, which only happens when enough time has been spent with your love partner.
Critical Thinking Day 7 and 8
We had a lot of discussion on religion, beliefs and their importance. I myself is a religious person and do have strong beliefs. During these 2 days I came across many different perspectives regarding religion and existence of God. Vardan sir’s session helped me understand that for being a good human (what all religions teach) we don’t need religion. We must have our own values which lead us to the right path. My new understanding after these classes is do think critically before following any belief and follow the practice which gives you peace. Your motive should be humanism and not religion. These sessions helped me clear my knowledge potholes and biases.
Life + Love Zeta
Things that we learned in the life + love class was really eye opening for me from 7 habits to talking about death. From bonding with other colleagues to playing games with them. I learned different forms of love and things that I am not doing correctly. With all the learnings I got I think there could’ve been more activities showing those real life situations where we can applied this and some mindful meditation sessions could have been done before starting the day.
Life + Love Zeta
I really thoroughly enjoyed and had an amazing time as these life classes gave a boost of energy to implement the crucial points not only in professional life but in personal life as well. All the videos and learnings in the life classes are actually very practical rather than just going through the bookish materials. I would sincerely like to thank my both facilitators Ms. Chaahat and Ms. Yasmin for such a wonderful first life class experience at fountainhead school. Looking forward for next year’s life class too.

Let’s be more intelligent emotinally
Anxious in the beginning as I am in the beginning of every class. Worried whether will I get to know something new or nullify my earlier thoughts. Well, both happened. My new learnings were amygdala hijack, autopilot mode, Siberian train, passion and purpose and many more. There was a lot of assurance I got that I am on a right track towards being intelligent when it came to being optimistic, balanced and contended. And I had a paradigm shift when we learnt about empathy. That is an action plan I am working on and now I try to not give advice but lend a hearing ear to a person in need of my empathy. Handling difficult conversation is something which was overlooked by me but now I have better tools to handle it. All in all, these session, mindfull nature walks and the therepautic mediation session taken have added value to my life. Again my heart is filled with gratitude as God has led my way to this fantabulous institution.
Intelligent or not? That is the question
The question has been answered with this amazing workshop,”Emotional Intelligence”. These 8 days were an insightful and thought provoking one. The latter days focused on Empathy and Social Skills. I was able to understand the word ‘Empathy’ in a broader sense. There is a vast difference between the generic definition to the actual understanding of Empathy. I understood how empathy plays a major role in maintaining a healthy relationship at workplace and work towards the greater good for all. The best part was to visit the old age home to practice empathy and social skills where I understood how important it is to be empathetic and lead a hearing ear to the one in need doesn’t only benefit them but also us as it gives us a satisfaction which can’t be expressed in world. I felt really blessed to have such a life where I have people who wants me to be a part of their life. All and all, Emotional Intelligence Workshop did help me understand and manage my emotions in a better way.
Emotional Intelligence
While it’s easy to think of Emotional Intelligence as all about mushy feelings, it’s an idea born from a lot of psychological research and now strengthened and backed up by neuroscience.
It is an awareness of your feelings, emotions and your ability to use that awareness in myriad, unprecedented life situations. An ability to navigate through life confidently.
But, how do we understand ourselves? And how do we use that knowledge to achieve success and contentment in the world around us?
These questions have been aptly answered in this Life class.
An emotionally intelligent person is aware of the influence emotions have on different people, acts accordingly, and as a result has more successful and holistic relationship dynamics.
Hence, EQ is the need of the hour!
Confused.. still moving on..!!
My journey of Critical Thinking so far has taught me to think two ways: Keeping your emotions aside as well as considering them.
There are many situations in every individual’s life where they have to think critically and hop to one conclusion. But is it easy?
I have learned to analyze a situation without overthinking. Critical thinking reflects that emotions and reasoning go hand in hand. It gives us ownership of beliefs. The decision between a fact and an opinion will be taken on grey areas and not black & white.
The question which still resolves is Who is God? I mean I have seen my family discussing about Lord Krishna because of which I have various images and types of GOD in mind. But, Now after the sessions and discussion, I am confused that no one has seen god, all these stories are assumptions that something of this sort must have happened and people are believing it since ages.
I never doubted on the existence of God! There is some creator and destroyer, there is some supreme being.
Religion what I believe is all man – made, people of same beliefs and location came together to form a group and then they made their own rituals and traditions and then domination started.
Also, learned that one should not be biased in taking decisions but think critically about what is actually important for us.
