I have always observed that the conversations that happen over an office lunch are always very interesting and meaningful. At my workplace whenever we have lunch together with other staff we are always talking and discussing about so many things then be it politics, lifestyle, general things happening around the globe, economics and what not. And the best part is there is always so many different types of perspectives that come into picture. Everyone holds some view of their own over one topic and shares it and this not only increases the general awareness but also many a times makes you think in a direction which has never crossed your mind. Specially when you have some really influential people at your lunch table it makes a lot of difference.
At my office lunch table we are most of the times discussing on diet and health, which is one of my favorite topic to talk on and I see that again here everyone perceives their practices the way they have experienced. Today our topic was on Minimalist lifestyle. While we were sharing our thoughts we were observing how each one of us are so much into hoarding excess and so much we are doing just to create an impression in the society.
On the same topic last evening I was talking to a friend who has a luxury business and again this was one of the point that we argued on, where he mentioned that for his business how important it is to have an expensive phone and branded clothing while meeting up with clients. Well it is not deniable that one needs to create an impression while meeting a client but creating an impression with just some expensive and branded stuff, I can only come to a conclusion that what shallow understanding of life the person would have to judge someone from these materialistic things.
Coming back to my Office lunch conversation, one of the person at the table mentioned how he got into the minimalist living and I really liked the way he made the transition from hoarding to being at bare minimal. So he has now kept only 5 pair of clothing each formal and informal to himself which he uses it for a period of 6 to 8 months. I am not sure if I can reach to this stage, it is not difficult but yes there is a lot of shift that needs to happen internally to accept this type of living. Not only the clothing but this person has kind of cleared off a lot of things from his home which has not used it for more then 2 years and given it out to various institutions in need and now ha shifted to a 1 room apartment.
He is a person of a very high stature and it really amazed me how he managed to get into this shift and bring in a whole new world for himself.
Like wise we also discussed on the food, that we keep on eating and eating with the cravings and for so many these cravings are never ending, they never reach to a level of satisfaction where one would feel it is enough and I am wanting to withdraw from these heavy diet patterns and then end up with end number of health problems.
In my field of work I have observed that most of the people are messed up with the diet which effects their health and gradually starts taking over in other areas of their life.
The good thing about my office lunch is that the people I deal with are all like minded people and it is so easy to connect with them, we have made it a rule that our office lunch will be a healthy environment, with the most important being the quality of the food we eat, no mobile phones, no work related discussions and no gossiping...hehehe.
If we want to do something it is very much possible, the limitations are only in the mind and it is all about taming the mind. You grow from small to big and then when you have experienced the big you again want to go down to your basics.
