About Me

My Journey…

I’m Rani Bora, owner and main author of this blog.

I feel quite fortunate to have had the experience of studying and practising medicine and psychiatry. It was way back, about a decade ago that I chose psychiatry as my specialist subject. At about the same time, I started looking at ways to develop as an individual and to broaden my views of our world and my relationships (including ‘the self’).

I’m driven to share what I experience as I travel in the world of psychiatry, wellness and recovery. This blog is an attempt to be creative about what I do and to present myself to more learning from my circle of readers, friends and fellow bloggers.

“There are no short cuts, no quick fixes and the journey never ends”

I believe in…

We have to keep nourishing our mind and commit to improvement on a consistent basis, to reap the true ‘rewards’ of life. The journey may seem endless and arduous at times; but as keep moving towards our ultimate vision, we would undoubtedly produce results.

As a psychiatrist, I come across people from all walks of life. I always get to learn something new from my patients, colleagues, like-minded friends and fellow bloggers. I cannot emphasise enough the role of a well-nourished mind in combating life’s many challenges and in bringing about wellness in our lives.

Why this blog?

My intention is to help you overcome limitations and self-doubt, helping you look beyond your perceptions of what is possible. I look forward to contribute and be a part of your wellness journey (however small or significant it may be). I hope you have a rich reading experience and find some “gems” to take along with you!
