RAK ON: Never Stop & The Power of Symbols in our Lives
Dr. Rak here. Iβm on a mission to help you take control of your health and live your best life. Whether you're new or a regular in our incredible RAK ON community, I'm truly grateful to be on this journey with you. This week, let's RAK ON by exploring the power of perseverance and the meaning of symbols in our lives.
The other day, while on a hike, I stumbled upon a graffiti piece with the resonating phrase βNever Stop.β Behind it was an image of the Hindu deity Ganesha, which struck a particularly deep chord with me because I wear a pendant with Ganesha, gifted to me years ago by my aunt in India. In Indian culture, Ganesha is regarded as a symbol of overcoming challenges and embracing new beginnings π.
As I embark on the journey of starting a new business, and more personally, as my family navigates the intricacies of my wife's breast cancer diagnosis, the pendant serves as a silent reminder. The pendant's significance goes beyond its origin; it's a reminder to persevere, remain resilient, and embrace every new chapter with hope.
Drawing from these thoughts and the power of symbols in our lives, let's dive into how you can RAK your week ππ½.
Roots Reflection π³: Question to Ponder: What symbols or mementos hold significant meaning in your life? How have they provided strength during challenging times, and how can they inspire you to "never stop"?
Awareness Activity π§πΎ: Guided Visualization: Take a moment each day to close your eyes and envision overcoming a current obstacle. See yourself celebrating the success, however small, and acknowledge the growth it brings.
Kindness Opportunity π: Acts of Compassion: Inspired by the theme of new beginnings, write a letter or send a message to someone who has been your anchor. Share your gratitude and remind them of their importance in your journey.
Our lives are filled with symbols, some more profound than others. As we face our challenges, let's recognize these anchors and draw strength from them, ensuring we "never stop" in our pursuits.
