Fatty Liver

Fatty liver disease is becoming increasingly common in many parts of the world, affecting many people globally. Fatty liver occurs when too much fat builds up in liver cells. Although it is normal to have a tiny amount of fat in these cells, the liver is considered fatty if more than 5% of it is fat.

Fat accumulation and inflammation damages the liver cells. This can lead to fibrosis, or scar tissue, as liver cells are repeatedly injured and die off. Fatty liver is linked to an increased risk of other diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, and kidney disease.

Several factors may cause or contribute to developing fatty liver:

Obesity;

Excess belly fat;

Elevated levels of liver enzymes;
Elevated insulin levels;
Elevated triglyceride levels.

Positive Attitude

In my training sessions, I help my clients to understand an attitude and how important it is.

Attitude is a way of feeling or acting toward a person, thing, or situation. Many people may not always be aware of their attitude or the effect it is having on behavior.

There are two types of attitudes : Negative or Positive.

Let’s try to understand what is a positive attitude and its importance.

Studies have also shown that having a positive attitude makes your view of life seem broad, full of possibilities. Positive thinking helps with stress management and can even improve your health.

A positive attitude is a state of mind that envisions and expects favorable results;
A positive attitude means positive thinking. It is optimism and maintaining a positive mindset. It is a mental attitude that focuses on the bright side of life. In other words, positive thinking is the process of creating thoughts that create and transform energy into reality;
A positive mind waits for happiness, health, and a happy ending in any situation;
A positive attitude doesn’t mean ignoring life’s troubles. It just means being an optimist and looking for the good in things rather than being a pessimist.
A positive attitude is a guide to leading a positive life.

Maintaining a positive attitude through the ups and downs is necessary for every aspect of life: your social status, your work, your health, and your relationships.

A positive attitude brings positive opportunities;
A positive attitude can land you in successful or win-win situations;
A positive attitude will help you to get well from illness due to its placebo effects;
A positive attitude makes your presence enjoyable;
A positive attitude will lead you to a successful life.

Here are some steps to be in a positive frame of mind:

Know yourself;
Keep a gratitude journal;
Maintain a circle of positive people;
Develop your personality;
Enhance your abilities and skills;
Reframe your challenges.
Accept failures;
Use positive words to describe your life;
Stop complaining;
Try to find the good in everything;
Just Breathe;
Have solutions when pointing out problems;
Smile;
Make others smile.

A Positive Attitude is a must for Happy and Prosperous Life.

Exams !!!

As exam dates are approaching, the atmosphere in many houses changes drastically.

Students appearing for SSC, HSC, and final year examinations are the ones experiencing these changes.

Parents put all their efforts so that their children score good marks in exams. It is the same scenario we see each year during exams.

Even after all the efforts, some students, though intelligent, somehow fail to perform as per their potentials in exams.

The situation further worsens when parents and relatives, without knowing the exact reason, comment – Thoda aur padhai ki hoti toh aur acche marks aate. It further demoralizes the students.

I do conduct individual sessions as well as sessions for institutes on – Exam and stress management. It received a positive and overwhelming response from students and their parents as well as institutes.

The one common observation I had during my sessions is that students know about the implications if they don’t do good in exams, but they are unaware of the bright future they will have if they do well in exams.

Students should be made aware of the importance of exams in their life and career. It will help them to see exams as an opportunity and platform to prove their worth. Students should be made aware of other benefits of appearing in exams and doing well in them.

It is the responsibility of parents to believe in the abilities of their children. They should encourage students to succeed positively.

All the best in advance !!!

Exams – Marathi version

परीक्षेची तारीख जसजशी जवळ येत आहे, तसतसे अनेक घरांमधील वातावरणात मोठ्या प्रमाणात बदल होत आहेत.

एसएससी, एचएससी आणि अंतिम वर्षाच्या परीक्षेस बसणारे विद्यार्थी आणि पालक, हे बदल जास्त प्रमाणात अनुभवत आहेत.

परीक्षेत चांगले गुण मिळावेत म्हणून विद्यार्थ्याबरोबर पालकही प्रयत्न करतात. पण, सर्व प्रयत्नांनंतरही काही विद्यार्थी हुशार असूनही परीक्षेत त्यांच्या योग्यतेनुसार गुण मिळवण्यात काही प्रमाणात अपयशी ठरतात.

परिस्थिती तेव्हा थोडी बिकट होते जेव्हा पालक आणि नातेवाईक कारण न कळता टिप्पणी करतात ” थोडा अजून अभ्यास केला असता तर अजून गुण मिळाले असते.” यामुळे विद्यार्थ्यांची आणखी निराशा होते.

मी परीक्षा व ताण व्यवस्थापन या विषयांवर सत्र आयोजित करतो. याला विद्यार्थी आणि त्यांचे पालक तसेच संस्थांकडून सकारात्मक आणि चांगला प्रतिसाद मिळाला आहे.

माझ्या सत्रांदरम्यान मी एक सामान्य निरीक्षण केले, ते म्हणजे विद्यार्थ्यांना परीक्षेत चांगले गुण न मिळाल्यास होणाऱ्या वाईट परिणामांविषयी माहिती असते, परंतु परीक्षेत चांगले गुण मिळाले तर उज्ज्वल भविष्याबद्दल त्यांना माहिती थोडी कमी असते.

विद्यार्थ्यांनी त्यांच्या जीवनात आणि करिअरमध्ये परीक्षांचे महत्त्व जाणून घ्यायला हवे. परीक्षा म्हणजे त्यांची योग्यता सिद्ध करण्यासाठी संधी आणि व्यासपीठ म्हणून पाहण्यास मदत होईल. विद्यार्थ्यांना परीक्षेला बसण्याचे आणि त्यामध्ये चांगले कामगिरी करण्याच्या इतर फायद्यांविषयी जागरूक केले पाहिजे.

मुलांच्या क्षमतांवर विश्वास ठेवण्याची जबाबदारी ही पालकांची आहे. त्यांनी विद्यार्थ्यांना सकारात्मकतेने यशस्वी होण्यासाठी प्रोत्साहित केले पाहिजे.

सर्वांना शुभेच्छा !!!

A letter for students (Marathi version)

प्रिय मित्रांनो,

आपल्या सगळ्यांना माहीतच असेल की जसे आपली मराठी आपली राज्य भाषा आहे , तसेच हिंदी आणि English राष्ट्रीय आणि आंतरराष्ट्रीय भाषा आहेत, म्हणजेच राष्ट्रीय आणि आंतरराष्ट्रीय पातळीवर ह्या भाषेंचा उपयोग जास्त होतो. आपल्या रोजच्या जीवनात ह्या तिन्ही भाषेंचा वापर थोडे अधिक प्रमाणात होतो.

पुणे , मुंबई सारख्या शहरांमध्ये interview आणि व्यावहारिक संवाद बहुतेक हिंदी किंवा English मध्येच होतात, ह्याचे कारण म्हणजे राष्ट्रीय आणि आंतरराष्ट्रीय व्यवहारासाठी ह्याच दोन्ही भाषेंचा उपयोग जास्त होतो. काही मुले अभ्यासात खूप हुशार असतात पण जेव्हा पुढचे शिक्षण किंवा नोकरीसाठी शहरांमध्ये जाण्याची वेळ येते तेव्हा हिंदी आणि English भाषेबरोबर communication skills, soft skills, आणि presentation skills मोठा अडसर ठरतात. मुलांनी त्यांच्या शालेय जीवनात हिंदी आणि English बोलण्याचा सराव कमी किंवा केलाच नाही तर ह्या दोन्ही विषयात चांगले गुण असूनही ही त्या भाषेत स्वतःला express करणे त्यांना अवघड जाते.

तुम्ही योग्य मार्गदर्शन घेऊन तुमच्या Personality, Spoken English, Grammar and Vocabulary मध्ये सुधारणा केली की तुमची बोलतांना होणाऱ्या चुकांची तुम्हाला सुधारणा करता येईल. पण fluent भाषा बोलण्यासाठी एक अट असते, ती म्हणजे तुम्ही हिंदी/English योग्यरित्या बोलायला शिकल्यावर तिचा सराव केला नाही तर कालांतराने तुम्ही जिथे होता तिथेच परत जाणार. म्हणून तुमच्या बरोबर तुमच्या आप्तेष्ट किंवा मित्रांनाही हिंदी आणि English बोलण्यास प्रोत्साहित करा, म्हणजे सराव करायला सवंगडी मिळतील.

जर आपला मित्र परिवार आपल्याशी थोडे हिंदी आणि English मध्ये बोलू लागला तर आपणही मराठी भाषेबरोबर हिंदी आणि English भाषेंवरही प्रभुत्व मिळवू शकतो. तुमच्या बरोबर त्यांनाही उपयोग होईल कारण प्रगती ही एकट्याची कधीच होत नसते, ती होते तर सगळ्यांबरोबर…

आपला मित्र,

अमोल दीक्षित

ध्यान

ध्यान म्हणजे काही न करता सर्व काही करणे. मला माहित आहे की हे परस्पर विरोधी आहे, परंतु हे सत्य आहे. आपल्या सर्वांना माहित आहे की काहीतरी यशस्वीरित्या करण्यासाठी आपल्याला ते मानसिकरित्या स्वीकारण्याची आणि लक्ष केंद्रित करण्याची आवश्यकता आहे.

आपली समृद्ध भारतीय संस्कृती आणि त्यातील परंपरा, ध्यान आणि त्याचे फायदे यावर आधारित आहे. ध्याना कसे करावे, सखोल विचार कसा करावा आणि स्वतःला आध्यात्मिकरित्या कसे विकसित करावे, हे आपल्या संस्कृतीने जगाला शिकवले.

ध्यान आपल्याला यात मदत करतेः

सखोल विचार करणे;
एखाद्या विशिष्ट वस्तू, विचार किंवा क्रियेवर लक्ष केंद्रित करणे;
मानसिक व्यायामांमध्ये गुंतणे;
मानसिकरित्या स्पष्ट आणि भावनिकदृष्ट्या शांत आणि स्थिर राहणे ;
ताण आणि वेदना कमी करणे; आणि
शांतता, स्वत: ची संकल्पना आणि कल्याण साधणे.

ध्यान कुठेही आणि कधीही केले जाऊ शकते, परंतु एकाच वेळी आणि एकाच ठिकाणी केल्याने आपले मन आणि शरीर सहजतेने जुळवून घेते. ध्यान करण्याचे काही मार्ग :

आरामात बसून राहा (आसन);
शांत रहा आणि आपले डोळे बंद करा;
सहजपणे श्वास घ्या;
आपले लक्ष श्वासावर केंद्रित करा;
दीर्घ श्वास घेत आपले ध्यान सुरू करा.

तथापि, हे खूप सोपे वाटते; परंतु अगदी स्पष्टपणे सांगायचे तर, अंमलबजावणी करणे खूप कठीण आहे.

कारण असे आहे की डोक्यात गोंधळ घालून काहीच न करता एकटे बसणे कठीण आहे. सर्व अंतर्गत विरोधाभास आणि भीती टाळणे कठीण आहे. एखादी व्यक्ती केवळ समर्पण आणि चिकाटीने त्यात प्रभुत्व मिळवू शकते. सकारात्मक दृष्टीकोन आपल्याला एकाग्र करण्यास आणि स्वत:ला शांत करण्यास मदत करते.

तथापि, ध्यान केल्याने एखाद्याला बरेच फायदे मिळू शकतात, जे खालीलप्रमाणे आहेतः

ताण कमी होतो;
चिंता नियंत्रित करते;
भावनिक आरोग्यास प्रोत्साहन देते;
आत्म-जागरूकता वाढवते;
एकाग्रता वाढवते.

ध्यानाचे सर्व फायदे पाहता प्रत्येकाने ध्यानाचा सराव केला पाहिजे. एखादी व्यक्ती पारंपारिक पद्धतीने सराव करू शकते जसे की त्राटक, मंत्राच्या मदतीने, मणींच्या मदतीने, आपल्या श्वासोच्छवासावर लक्ष केंद्रित करून किंवा आपल्या दोन्ही भुवयांच्या मध्ये लक्ष केंद्रित करून. याव्यतिरिक्त, ध्यानासाठी व्यक्ती स्वत:च्या पद्धती तयार करू शकते. पद्धती भिन्न असल्या तरी ध्यानाचे परिणाम नेहमी सकारात्मक असतात.

ह्या महाशिवरात्रीला ध्यान करून स्वत: ला समजून घेण्यासाठी थोडा वेळ द्या. हे आपल्याला शारीरिक, मानसिक, भावनिक आणि आध्यात्मिकदृष्ट्या विकसित होण्यास मदत करेल.

ॐ शान्ति: शान्ति: शान्ति:

Happiness leads to Prosperity – 2020 !!!

Yes, it is true!

Happiness –> Prosperity –> Success.

Let’s see what does prosperity means?

Prosperity is flourishing, thriving, good fortune, and successful social status. It is often associated with wealth, happiness, and health. It is dependent upon your happiness and balance in your life. To prove this fact, I have done some analysis.

In 2020, the same countries topped the list in a survey on the happiness index of 156 countries. I have noted down the names of the top 20 happiest countries.

1. Finland	6. The Netherlands	11. Canada	16. Ireland
2. Denmark	7. Sweden	12. Australia	17. Germany
3. Switzerland	8. New Zealand	13. United Kingdom	18. United States
4. Iceland	9. Austria	14. Israel	19. The Czech Republic
5. Norway	10. Luxembourg	15. Costa Rica	20. Belgium

If we look at the list of countries that topped in Prosperity ranking, there are almost the same.

1. Denmark	6. The Netherlands	11. Iceland	16. Australia
2. Norway	7. New Zealand	12. Ireland	17. Hong Kong
3. Switzerland	8. Germany	13. United Kingdom	18. United States
4. Sweden	9. Luxembourg	14. Canada	19. Japan
5. Finland	10. Austria	15. Singapore	20. Taiwan

Our India is 101st in the overall Prosperity Index rankings and 144th in the Happiness Index rankings. If we want our country to top both the lists – the Happiness index and the Prosperity index, we need to work on those factors that our culture taught us. We need to go back to our roots and relearn again what we have forgotten.

Our ancestors have taught the world about values and ethics for leading happy and prosperous life. It is now time to enlighten ourselves with that forgotten knowledge by reading books, scriptures written long back in our Indian culture.

Our country was once the happiest and prosperous country in the world because of its rich culture, morals, and values. We must follow the same path to bring back that golden era of our country…✍️

Kya Hai Mrituy ???

क्या हैं मृत्यु ???

जिंदगी भर अपने मन को मारकर जीना;

हैं मृत्यु !!!

जीवन में सब कुछ है, फिर भी जो नहीं है उसके लिए रोना;

हैं मृत्यु !!!

जीने के लिए खाने से ज्यादा दवाई खाना;

हैं मृत्यु !!!

मन में दूसरों के प्रति नफरत, द्वेष, मत्सर के बीज बोना;

हैं मृत्यु !!!

हर समय नकारात्मक विचार कर अपने ही जीवन में कटुता लाना;

हैं मृत्यु !!!

चेहरे से मुस्कान का गायब होना, और हमेशा सूरत रोती रखना;

हैं मृत्यु !!!

हमारे होने से दुसरोको तकलीफ होना, और हमारे न होने से किसीको खुशी मिलना;

हैं मृत्यु !!!

हमारा होना या न होना, एक समान होना;

हैं मृत्यु !!!

अपनी ही जिंदगी को बोज समझना;

हैं मृत्यु !!!

इस मृत्यु से लड़ने जा रहा हूं मैं !!!
जिंदगी जीने जा रहा हूं मैं !!!

मेरे साथ आयेगा कौन ???

मेरा साथ देगा कौन ???

The Missing Part

In our childhood, we used to play puzzles. Initially, solving those puzzles seemed to be very difficult. However, with proper help and practice, we could solve every puzzle.

Our life is also a puzzle. Every day brings a new one for us to solve. Puzzles that we have to deal with in life are different from our childhood games. They are very complicated with lots of options. It becomes tedious to identify that particular missing part from all available options. Everyone deal with those puzzles as per his/her abilities and capabilities.

Many take efforts to solve those puzzles;
Many find it difficult to solve it, so they take help from experts;
Many decide to leave them unsolved and continue to live life as it is.

Until my teenage, I used to leave many difficulties unsolved, which caused me many losses in the future. Later, I learned how important it was to take help and effort to solve every puzzle life serves on our plate.

It helped me to find that missing part of my life.

In the future, I decided to take those professions, which gave me opportunities to help others in identifying that missing part of their life, which was holding them back.

As a Coach, Counselor, Consultant, Interior Designer, Dietitian, Fitness professional, Therapist, Trainer, Mentor, and Motivational speaker, I got many opportunities to help others to find that missing part of their life, health, wellness, emotions, feelings, thought process, career, and education to take proper decision for a happy and prosperous life…✍️

A fruitful November after lockdowns

Due to the pandemic, we had to stay at home for our safety. The lockdown was necessary for our health and safety.

The most beneficiary from the lockdown was Mother Nature. We have seen and heard the good news about the healing of the earth due to the lockdown.

During the lockdown, I followed my methods for my physical and mental health. I am happy to achieve the desired results.

I have noted down a few things that I did in lockdown :

I watched Ramayana, Mahabharata, and Chanakya on the DD network – It helped to learn the importance of human life and its values. It also reminded me of our rich Indian culture;
I read Bhagwat Gita twice. It helped me to learn many things about human life and the way of living it effectively;
Did meditation, omkar mantra, pranayama, yoga, bodyweight exercises, weight training, pilates, and kickboxing for a healthy mind and body;
Online mentoring sessions for students, aspiring people who are looking for a job, wanted to set up a new business, homemakers, and working women;
I have published two fictions on Amazon Kindle – Digging Gold Out Of Mine – A Life -Changing Book ( https://ables.in/2020/05/08/digging-gold-out-of-mine-a-life-changing-book/) and “Why Am I So Unhappy?” (https://ables.in/2020/09/23/why-am-i-so-unhappy/). The characters in these books will help us to understand the day to day challenges we face in our lives and how to overcome them for a happy life.
I improved my indoor games – Chess and Carrom.

I hope many of you must have utilized your lockdowns very productively. I will love to hear about it as it will inspire and motivate many.

After a lockdown, I got the opportunity for face to face training sessions, counseling, and consulting sessions from October:

Conducted Lectures for students on Employability skills (Academic) in Wai;
Consulted for an interior design project for two studio flats in Pune;
Consulted for an interior design project for a coffee shop and snack center in Pune.
Conducted a session on ‘ Stress Management’ for a kitty group in Pune;
Three face to face counseling sessions in Pune.
I have started with the draft of my third book and will publish it very soon.

Though lockdown affected all of us financially, mentally, emotionally, and physically; we are coming back on track 👏👏👏

Better days are coming…✍️
