Let's Rename. Let's Reignite, Let's Restart
Because we just realised a loooot of things ?? But better late than uglyyyy
It’s Day 99.
Consistency is a discipline I had mentioned in one of my previous posts. However I now strongly feel that consistency is about adaptability.
It’s about how you adapt to the ever-changing day around you but still never miss on showing up. Being adaptable makes you “perform the needed” to show up. Thus keeping it constant and free-flowing.
It’s Monday the 16th of September. And I am ready to waste this entire week, on myself. Okay, ideally you don’t call that a waste of time either. Let me rephrase, I am trying to invest time in myself this week. I do things that I genuinely think are important to me (Other than XRD). This decision is almost because of my existential crisis of the Saturday and Sunday episodes. A small test to really test on what does matter to me other than XRD.
And also a few right moves for if I have to keep the spirits (ie, Varsha Anand) of XRD alive. After all, it is my company as someone rightly said. As much as I did not want this pause, I think it becomes more essential to understand the very core of my passion and also my purpose. I sat back and took time off to continue a long-lost habit- Reading.
Spent greaaattt amount of time with people who felt like home, who felt like a cozy evening at a cozy cafe, and also like being engulfed by a sky filled with stars. Worth the time and was a great process to replenish what I had been losing- my mind space, and confidence to make the right decisions involving only the brain and not the heart. And sometimes it’s really hard to take a stand considering all the factors. All the factors that matter a lot to you. you might also be pointed as heartless, stone-hearted and lots more. But to be honest, it’s as hard to take a few harsh steps keeping important factors in mind. I am just telling myself that at the end everything will be alright and well.
Important lessons learned, visions sharpened, mission crystal clear. Criticisms acknowledged and considered from all directions. Glad that all this happened a little early and as I always like to remind myself, everything is a lesson, and learning is never a failure.
Day 100
Say 100 and this journey gets its peak learnings. Now adapting to the new cycle and pouncing back. this time it’s going to be reflections of all these lessons. Every step would be calculated and super focussed in
Choosing the right type of people to work with (because I can be super hard to work with and not everybody can put up with me)
Choosing the right words to use with everybody around, being mindful in uttering anything, ANYTHINGGG AT ALLLL.
I guess these two are for sure.
100 days of work zero-ing down to “amazing experiences, great people, laughter, amazing talents, and most importantly LESSONS”. There would be no idiot than me if I am going to be repeating this over and over again.
What’s next Varsha Anand ??
Oh, that ???? Well. Byeeeee The XR Digest and hello XRDaily <3.
Might be a little shocking (is still to me, but I have sooolliddd rock reasons), catch up on my next post for more explanations. Do not want this post to be a super long rant. Let’s goooo. There is no turning back from here.
Only learn-adapt-grow-repeat.
From Varsha Anand,

Risen and ready to start over,
Just like alwayssss.
