Bouncing back
Resilience has been a strong theme in almost all of our lives over the past year. Former
environmental consultant, mother of two and début author, Prathisha Singh, has
made it her goal to help people live their best lives after hitting her own personal ‘rock
bottom’ during the pandemic.
Like many people, the onset of
the global Covid-19 pandemic
was a massive blow to the usually
positive and ambitious Prathisha.
“I experienced rock bottom. I was
overwhelmed with negative emotion
and felt stuck, powerless and hopeless
in my situation ... until I made the
decision to turn my life around, learn
the lessons and move forward for
myself and my family.”
Now she has written a book, The
Ultimate Guide to: Bounce Back
Higher, has started a blog and is on a
mission to share her ‘tried and tested’
methods to empower others to live
their best lives too.
Born in Tongaat, Prathisha spent three
years living in New Zealand with her
parents while she was in primary
school. When they returned to SA, she
attended high school in Gauteng and,
after school did a BSc honours degree
in Geology before marrying her highschool
crush, Sumeeth.
Prathisha worked as an environmental
consultant and owned a Kumon
franchise before discovering her
current passion: helping people
rediscover their essence and live their
greatest lives. She and her husband
live in Ballito with their two young
children.
“After hitting my ‘rock bottom’, I
immersed myself in the teachings of
the world’s leading experts in the selftransformation
industry. I followed the
tools and techniques that I learned
through discipline and diligent
practice and discovered that it is
possible to be happy and peaceful
no matter what your situation or
circumstances are.”
Rock bottom, Prathisha says, is a place
of feeling stuck, unable to move
forward, hopeless, fearful, anxious
and powerless. It is a demonstration
of not being able to live your best life
and it is different for everyone. To one
person, it may be getting a divorce,
to another it may be being diagnosed with a terminal illness, or losing a child
etc. I think every person experiences this at some point in their life, and this is
where self-transformation happens .. if the individual decides so. My rock bottom
involved relationships, finance and health in a time of extreme uncertainty. In a
relatively short period (which felt like a century!) though, I bounced back higher –
and I believe others can too.”
Prathisha says her book is aimed at anyone who wants to go through life feeling
peace, love and happiness despite what is happening in their life or in the world
at large.
“The book inspires you to tap into your inner wisdom, love, peace and happiness
that is ever present within each of us by providing simple and practical exercises
to do so. If you feel like you are at rock bottom, or feeling stuck in your life, the
book is a great start to you bouncing back higher and living your greatest life.”
Prathisha also has an online course called ‘Live your greatest life’ available on her
website.
Prathisha’s top three tips for ‘bouncing back higher’:
1. Make the decision to live your greatest life. Write a powerful declaration
asserting that you will overcome any situation and live your best life – no matter
what it takes. Be that determined.
2. Let go of the past. It does not exist. The only place that it does exist is in your
mind. Whatever has happened is over now. Let it go, adjust your path and keep
on moving.
3. Be mindful of your thoughts. Throughout the day, ask yourself, ‘what am I
thinking?’ If your thoughts do not support you feeling good, gently release them
and move on to a happier thought. You can and you will change your life one
thought at a time.
