posiTIVE life transformation

Describe one positive change you have made in your life.

“From whatever state of being one remembers when he quits his body, that state he will attain without fail.” — Bhagavad Gita

I made one positive change in my life — I turned inward with discipline and faith.I began chanting the Chalisa and practicing the methods taught by Isha Foundation.

At first, I was timid, unsure, and constantly caught in cycles I did not understand — debt, blame, confusion, and repeating patterns that felt like a closed loop.But I stayed with the practice.

Chanting became my anchor. Each repetition slowly loosened my ego. I began to write, to express what I had never said before. My thoughts, once tangled, started to unfold. I saw clearly how I had lived through others’ opinions, shaping myself into something that was never truly mine.

There were moments that felt like living in hell — a place I realized I had created through my own lack of awareness. But that realization itself became a form of rebirth. A resuscitation into a life where I could choose differently, without regret.

Through chanting and stillness, I felt layers within me break open. The tightness in my body and mind began to release. Even when I sensed resistance, fear, or unseen pressures trying to pull me back into old patterns, I continued focusing on healing myself first.

Letting go of attachment was not peaceful at first — it was painful, filled with sorrow. But beyond that pain, something shifted. A quiet strength emerged. My discipline deepened. My choices became clearer — in food, in health, in thought.

The visits to the hospital stopped. My awareness of my body increased. I no longer ignored the signals within me.This path is still a leap of faith — every single day. But it is a path I now walk with intensity, with trust, absolute and with stillness.

This is my one positive change — and I will continue in this discipline.

“Let a man lift himself by his own self alone, and not degrade himself; for this self alone is the friend of oneself, and this self alone is the enemy of oneself.” — Bhagavad Gita
