Womenlines is delighted to welcome Anjalika, an IITTI (CANADA) certified professional Image Branding & Lifestyle Consultant, as an Influencer for Image Branding at Womenlines. Yes womenfolk, gear up to learn the tips and tricks to carry yourself with excellence and make excellence your brand. In her sharing for this month, Anjalika is sharing about how to keep up with the power of femininity-

 

 

I have had some exciting conversations over the last few months at various events. One thing that stands out so vividly in my mind is when the topic of femininity comes up; to be exact, job role and femininity.

 

Seriously we are already quite a way into the 21st century and I can’t believe such things still comes up in discussions. I was a subject of it a long time ago when I was accepted in the aviation industry, where men were mostly the key players and then again when I ran the marketing department of a football club.

 

For those who know me, I am a great advocate of femininity – not to be mistaken with feminism. Femininity is the quality or attributes regarded as characteristic of women. On the other hand, feminism is the advocacy of women’s rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes. While feminism never fails to intrigue me, let us just say that is a topic for another time.

 

As a woman, I personally believe in keeping my femininity alongside all the strengths that I have. I have never been afraid to showcase my femininity and never thought of it as a hindrance at any given time. For those ladies, who decide not to portray theirs, well, I have no problems with that either; it is all about personal choice.

 

Sadly to say in my journey as an Image Branding Consultant, I often meet women preferring not to carry themselves, dress even talk in a certain way because of the positions they hold; thinking they might not be taken seriously and even might hurt their chance of advancements.

 

My advice has always been the same; why should you not keep up your feminine ways; why should femininity be looked at as weakness while masculinity has always been celebrated? What has being feminine got anything to do with doing a good job?

 

Coincidentally, I have made a pact with myself at the end of last year that 2019 is going to be the year I am reaching out to more women, telling them, you do you, wear whatever you want, however, you want as long as your professionalism and presentation is upkept.

 

That said, there are a couple of things that need to be kept in mind in order to project that feminine power to be taken seriously.

 

Firstly, make something a representation of you – in short, know your personal style.   When we think of Jackie Kennedy, her signature sunglasses come to mind. Create one for yourself so when your name is mentioned, your personal style lingers in people’s minds.

 

I have always reiterated the importance of well-tailored outfit; never underestimate it. A well-sewn outfit instantly makes one look sharper and well put together; that said, the opposite is also true.

 

If there is one wardrobe item I would choose to help lift my whole ensemble, it will have to be the blazer; a clean, crisp blazer. Choose one in a basic colour like black, navy or white and this can elevate even the simplest shift dress. My preference, that suit most body type will be the one with V-shaped neck; elongates and taps in femininity.

 

When juggling colours for your office attire, try to stick with those that do not scream for attention, like bright red, neon green – even florals might be inappropriate for office wear. Choose colours that stand you out without drowning you in. Colours that work will be like beige, off-white, some shades of greens or muted red.

 

While some might neglect what is going on southwards; the feet to be exact, I will say, keep it in mind at all time. Invest in at least four pairs of pumps that can take you on your professional journey. As for colours, I will always advise my clients to have a pair each of black and nude, on top of their favourite choice of colours. If high heels are not your cup of tea, try kitten heels or ballet pumps. Peep-toes or sandals are a complete no-no.

 

Some clients cringe over the fact that I always emphasize on make-up; never walk out of the home bare-faced. I might be challenged for saying this, however, humans are visual creatures. Our attention is more often than not channelled to a nice looking thing or person. Moreover, I am not talking about 3-inches thick make-up, I am just talking powder, eyeliner, lipstick or lipgloss, and of course, a little blusher and mascara will not hurt. My morning make-up routine takes about 5 minutes; 7 minutes tops!

 

When accessorizing, keep it dainty. Think pearl ear studs, tiny bracelets and simple cufflinks. Big chunky pieces of jewellery are for after office hours, they have no place on the board or meeting room.

 

Invest in two or three handbags; a good size one is a must. Depending on what you have to tote around for office and meetings but a medium-sized structured bag in muted colour is my pick.

 

The way you dress should reflect the organization you represent. Most time, the right attitude plays a big part in how you dress up and when in doubt, always remember, you dress how you wish to be addressed.

Womenlines Influencer for Yoga, Archana Amlapure sharing this month is about various myths related to Meditation-

  1. I can’t concentrate
  2. I can’t sit still
  3. I can’t control my thoughts
  4. Meditation is a religious practice

 

Meditation is what changed my life. Meditation is what gave answers to my many questions. Meditation is where I find peace and took time to think and analyze. But that did not make me seasoned Yogi or I can sit through meditation hours and hours. I still struggle sometimes or sometimes it is very easy. But I have not denied the meditation.

When I introduced Meditation in my teaching and offerings…though I got a good response. People loved it. But felt that few people were always hesitant for even trying Meditation. The reasons they always mentioned was what I felt the myths they have around meditation. The myths are myths because we have not let ourselves break misconceptions and try out which is not in our comfort zone.

Here are the common misconception or Myths which I came across-

 

  1. I can’t concentrate

Many times, my clients said they don’t want to join the Meditation session because they can’t concentrate or focus.

As I clarify this, Meditation is not about concentration or focusing. Once my teacher said, in modern society where efficiency is important, we have become too good at focusing. But meditation is not about focusing but about defocusing.

Defocusing is not a distraction but defocusing is about being aware of surrounding while we focus on something.

Yes, it is asked to concentrate on breathing, feeling, sensation, thoughts etc during meditation but it is to clear mind with thoughts of past and future and bring you to the present moment.

 

Meditation is not concentration: Concentration is a result of Meditation. ~Yog Bhooshan Maharaj

 

  1. I can’t sit still

In many meditations, it has been asked to sit at one place and one of the reasons being when you sit straight and keep back upright, then energy flow from the spine is better and help you to keep alert. Initially, it would be difficult, but practice will make it easy.

And still, if you find it difficult, then there are different types of meditation where you don’t have to sit like Dynamic meditation, dance meditation etc.

 

Meditation is being tuned with our inner energy source.

 

  1. I can’t control my thoughts

Again, Meditation is not about controlling thoughts or stopping them, but in fact, meditation is all about letting go of your thoughts. That means let it flow, analyze them and bring awareness. Bringing awareness will help to understand which thoughts are troubling, what are worries, are you just over thinking, are you stuck in any bad memories? These are the awareness you create during meditation but not by controlling them but letting them flow in and releasing them

 

True Meditation is letting go of manipulating our experience… ~Adyashanti

 

  1. Meditation is a religious practice

Yoga and meditation are often associated with religion. But it is nothing to do with religion. But in fact, every religion has an emphasis on meditation but given different names like prayers, chanting, worshipping. Meditation is all about bringing the mind to the present moment, taking pause and relaxing and rejuvenating mind and body. If you still have any myths around meditation then maybe you are keeping yourself away from awesome practice which is scientifically proved to reduce stress, anxiety, improve immunity, reduces chronic illness etc.

Meditation helps to reduce beta level that means it helps to reduce the number of thoughts in mind. When you have clarity, you will automatically get solutions for your problem. Meditation reduces fight and flight response by reducing stress hormones ie cortisol and hence you can make better decisions at times of crisis. Hence it makes you better leaders. Successful personalities like Steve Jobs, Opara Winfrey, Madona, Jeff Winer claim that they do daily meditation.

And many of my clients who are a big fan of Meditation say that it gives them direction for the day.

So many benefits and simple practice, nobody should be away from this practice.

In fact, it must be inculcated in society from a young age to make them better leaders, person and responsible citizen.

The goal of meditation isn’t to control your thoughts, its to stop letting you control them

Subah Jain

 

Ayurveda explains that the root cause of any disease is the accumulation of toxins in the body, whether it’s excess weight, high blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol, asthma, PCOD, stones, cysts, or any other chronic disease. No disease can survive in a body that is clean internally. This video explains three powerful methods to remove these toxins, cleanse your body and consequently, lose weight, cure disease, have clearer skin and greater energy. The three methods outlined are intermittent fasting (also called 16-hour fasting), enema (to cleanse the colon) and cold wet packs. Once the waste is out, all diseases will be cured. No disease can survive in a body that is clean internally.

Womenlines welcomes Anji Hallewell as an Influencer of Positive Mindset on the Womenlines panel. Anji is a Natural Strengths Coach, Trainer, and founder of Natural Genius Academy (formerly Hidden Lava). In her sharing for this month, Anji is sharing ultimate tips to achieve success in life-

I’ve always been very curious about what makes someone successful.  What do they know that others don’t?  Is it knowledge?  Is it predetermined?  And this curiosity led me to a career in talent development, of which I did for many years in some of the most successful media companies in the world today.

I started to realise that it wasn’t intelligence or education, but more about personality and behaviour.  I remember watching a video clip of the late Steve Jobs, who said that once he realised this one simple fact it changed things for him.  It also changed things for me too and it’s this “Everything around you that you call life was made by people that are no smarter than you.”.

This really opened up my mind and after coaching and training 1000s of professionals I’ve learnt that these 3 core things need to be in place if you are to succeed in all you do. Watch this video to find out what they are.

Power of Clapping

Vijaya Mohan is quite renowned for her achievements in the field of arts in Singapore. Vijaya Mohan an Indian Singaporean is a renowned and acclaimed Rangoli artiste (Indian courtyard painting and floor art). She holds the Guinness World Record for the largest Rangoli in the World and additionally holds 25 Singapore records in various categories ( the largest, longest, most number of people etc). Vijaya has drawn over 8000 Rangolis in Singapore as well as in Australia, Brunei, India, Mauritius, Vietnam, the United Arab Emirates and USA. Her achievements in the field of arts are just incredible.

Vijaya has got quite a recognition for her achievements in the field of arts but Womenlines wants to highlight how she has used arts as therapy for healing purposes. Vijaya Mohan is a Singapore trained art therapist and special educator with 15 years of experience in the field of health, therapy and the arts. She has worked with children with autism in the school setting and is doing voluntary work in art therapy in various organizations like the Institute of Mental Health, Rehab for Elderly and in Singapore girl’s home.

At present, Vijaya is popularizing ‘Clapping Therapy’ in which she has a strong faith and she is passionately conducting workshops at various centres in Singapore for which she is not even charging. She has a strong belief in the power of clapping. We clap our hands to cheer, encourage someone for their good work or achievement while singing songs, bhajans, and prayer at holy places.  When we are happy we clap our hands to express joy and happiness, and encourage others but very few people know that ‘The World Health Organization (WHO)’ has also confirmed that clapping hands is one of the best exercises in daily activities. Clapping is one of the ancient Yogasna (yoga poses) in our Hindu scriptures. There are 39 different acupressure points for almost all organs on our palm which are activated by clapping and this action improves your health slowly but effectively. So while clapping we are sending energies to all these points. If any organs have energy block it helps to release it so that inner organs may function in a better way.

Vijaya wants to popularise Clapping Therapy as it can heal people from various diseases. She is willing to organise Therapy Workshops at various centres and also at the Corporate level too. She has a special request “I would like to do this clapping as fun as LUNCH time fun activity in the Corporate world for those who are sitting in front of the computers the whole day”.

Reach out to Vijaya at rangolivijaya@gmail.com if you want to organise Clapping Therapy Workshop!

Welcome to ‘Success with Payal’ series at Womenlines!

Womenlines takes pleasure to introduce Payal Nanjiani, a US-based globally acclaimed inspirational speaker, leadership and success coach, as an Influencer for ‘Corporate Success Tips’ on Womenlines panel. Payal will be sharing exclusive content with Womenlines which can help women working in the corporate sector to develop leadership skills and success mindset. Payal will look forward to replying to queries from Womenlines readers too! Feel free to drop your questions in the comment section. This month read and listen from her about various strategies which can help women to come out of the lot of self-guilt especially when it comes to leaving their home and child to go to work

 

Women face a lot of self-guilt especially when it comes to leaving their home and child to go to work. Most of the times it causes us to either slow down our business/growth or take a break from the career world. In either case, it impacts our work negatively. So how can women move ahead without guilt and be a high-flyer despite the slow down or career break?

 

One September day in 2014, I received a text message from a friend of mine-named Julia. She was so nervous about an upcoming interview. This interview was coming after her twenty-fifth rejection in a row of interviews. Now let me tell you- the truth is that Julia at one time was heading the media department in a mid-size advertising agency. Her work took her places and she had a great career. But things changed after her first child was born. Torn apart between staying home to care of the newborn and continuing her demanding career, she chose the former. Today after a seven-year break from the adv field, she is desperate to return back to work. But at every interview, she faced rejection and questions on her 7-year gap in the resume. She lost confidence in the market and in herself. And the one thing she kept saying to me and herself was- ‘why do women have to go through this career break..’

 

There is a common ingredient that guides women’s decision on whether to take that break from their career or not- it’s the ingredient of guilt. A pang of guilt that surprisingly only we women go through. Guilt is the major reason for this dilemma in every woman’s life- And whatever the decision be- guilt meets you in either of the paths that you would choose to walk on.

 

Let me tell you, friends, it is possible to be a high-flyer after years of being out of the workforce. It is possible to climb that ladder and expand that business even after slowing down for some years. What matters most is what you do during these times. Now the biggest problem that comes along to women when they take that break is lack of confidence. Don’t allow that to beat you. These are the best years of your life. Take it as a privilege that you got to take a break from the fast-paced growth and career world.

 

I’m sharing with you some ‘on-ramping’ strategies that will help you, just like my clients to be high achievers once again. It will build a strong foundation.

Be a possibility finder: Physically you may be out of the workforce or decided not to go ahead with that next big move in the company. I get it. But the problem is that most women take a break mentally too. They are so involved in the house and kids that they get totally disconnected from the market. Please, don’t take an extended mental break. Do some part-time work or some consulting, so there is not a huge chasm in your resume and experience. Whatever field of work you are in or plan to get into- find opportunities around it. Don’t do it for money- do it to be in the market- that is the key driver here. Consider a more meaningful way of spending your break time -Volunteer to write a piece of article, volunteer at a business association, or to teach and mentor people from your industry. Look around you and you will find opportunities. Be a possibility finder.

 

Network: Whether you like it not, you have to network. I know it’s easy to slip into a routine and not want to get into those shoes and walk out of the comfort zone. But you must -otherwise, mediocracy will become your second nature. To build a network- You don’t have to join a list of associations. Just a couple of them which you can attend on regular basis. Most associations invite industry speakers from whom you can learn, and connect with.  You will meet people from different industries and you can build a great work relationship with them. When it’s time for you to get back to work- leverage your network connections to get a head start.

 

Be in touch: Keep your connections on with your boss, your peers and team members. Build on that bridge, write some blogs for your internal company page. Meet them over for coffee or lunch. Just drop by at your office to say a hello. In these times where people are quickly forgotten and replaced, you want to be on the top of their mind.

Friends, you’ve got to push yourself hard today and every day. Life will knock you between the eye, but you’ve got to bounce back. You’ve got to take charge of your success. Don’t let time overpower you. Do what time does best- keep moving ahead.
