Brand Sri Lanka -

New life

Given that celebrities like AmitabBatchan falling love with ‘MANIKE Mage Hithe’ brand Sri Lanka has got a boost in India which is the biggest market for Sri Lanka Tourism.

We must now build in this awareness and drive regional tourism. We have to catch on to every single opportunity that spreads positivism globally as all we see is ‘bad news.

Specially in Sri Lanka where the local news is always on corruption of sugar, mafia at NRMA on the erasing of data, power agreements signed at midnight, the plight of poor farmers due to the arbitrary decision on fertilizer just to name a few. Let’s accept it that the government has not lived up to the expectations of the 6.9 million people who voted them into power. In short the policy makers do not have the skill set to lead the country at the current challenging times. The question is how do we motivate our self in this environment.

1) Mind walk

This is a technique where one engage the neighbourhood and there by get self motivated. Just take a walk down a road and connect to the people around you and the environment. The technique is to focus on your senses and keeping them alert so that different stimulants are made to be picked up by your senses.

It can be a door opening of your neighbour, the smell of food in the food cart parked near the walking track. Oberserve the Colours of the sky and hear the rustle of the leaves.

Pick up the birds chirping to the wind against your skin. This kind of mind conscious require conscious training. This is defined mind walking and it helps motivate your self. Try it and see if it works for you.
