Eye contact when speaking online mostly comes down to three things: the duration of your gaze, whether you look away and what your eyes say about how you’re really feeling. Eyes looking directly into the camera is a sign of strength, so looking away every now and again suggests a conciliatory stance.

In today's digital age, we are constantly bombarded with information from various sources—social media, news outlets, podcasts, and more. While this abundance of information can be enriching, it's crucial to be selective about the content we consume. Controlling your content consumption is not a sign of closed-mindedness; rather, it's a testament to your confidence and maturity. The Subconscious Mind: A Non-Discriminatory Processor One of the most compelling reasons to be cautious about what you consume is the nature of your subconscious mind. Unlike your conscious mind, which can differentiate between facts and fiction, your subconscious mind lacks this ability. It absorbs everything it encounters as truth and works tirelessly to prove it right. If you constantly consume negative or misleading content, or things you don’t consciously choose or resonate with,, your subconscious mind will accept it as fact and influence your thoughts, actions, and ultimately, your life. The Fear of Criticism: Why Saying "No" is Okay Many people fear being labeled as "closed-minded" for not engaging with content that doesn't resonate with their beliefs. This fear often stems from societal pressure to be open to all perspectives. However, it's essential to remember that there's a fine line between being open-minded and compromising your mental well-being. Saying "I am not interested" to content that doesn't align with your values is not a sign of weakness; it's a sign of self-respect. The Art of Selective Consumption: A Sign of Maturity Choosing not to engage with certain types of content is actually a sign of confidence and maturity. It shows that you are secure enough in your beliefs to not be swayed by every piece of information that comes your way. This selective approach allows you to focus on content that truly enriches your life, contributing to your personal and professional growth. The Persuasion Paradox: You're Not Wrong for Saying "No"It's common to encounter people who want to persuade you to adopt their point of view. While there's nothing wrong with healthy debate, you should never feel obligated to give someone the chance to convince you. Standing your ground is not a sign of stubbornness; it's a sign of self-assurance. Conclusion Controlling the content you consume is an empowering choice that reflects your confidence and maturity. Don't let the fear of criticism deter you from making decisions that benefit your mental and emotional well-being. Your subconscious mind will thank you, and you'll be better positioned for success and happiness. So the next time someone tries to make you feel wrong for not allowing them to persuade you, remember: there's nothing wrong with saying, "I am not interested." It's your life, your mind, and ultimately, your choice.

Gayatri relates the detriment associated with un-forgiveness and how meditation can remedy this. Un-forgiveness is insidious. Having to consciously put on its cloak is a wast of time. It is better to realize you are in un-forgiveness and meditation allows you to do this on purpose. You may also be deluding yourself that you have forgiven but meditation helps you root out this fallacy. She points out that true forgiveness ends can sometimes manifest as indifference. While not painful, it is certainly not the best choice but it is superior to un-forgiveness. The opposite of love is not hate but actually indifference

Your desires can conflict with the desires of society for you. For instance, some young women fall prey to placing efforts in the direction of marriage by a certain age. She may find herself thwarted in her attempts. But on closer inspection, she may find that marriage is not what she wants at all. The mind works by what is actually on it and not on what a person says is on it. Gayatri Deshmukh believes that the kind of clarity necessary for this can be achieved by meditation.

Looking good and being right plagues us all. This results from an unknown source. But it really is only a distraction. External efforts result from an internal sadness that everyone suffers from. We may not even be present to it or even acknowledge its existence. Gayatri assures us that one sure way to manage the malady is through meditation. Active social media profiles can be a Mecca for people trying to distract from sadness.
