Let us Love Ourselves

Amidst the daily chores of life, finding time to write a blog can be challenging but not impossible. I know we all lead busy lives: juggling work, relationships, finances, and taking time for workouts! Ahh, it can sound too much.  But remember to be grateful for all these resources and experiences that shape our lives and experiences. Nevertheless, it's crucial to remember to take care of yourself amid all this chaos.  Giving yourself a big, warm hug is an act of self-care. The benefits of prioritizing health and wellness are endless, ranging from increased physical vitality to improved brain sharpness, emotional resiliency, and overall life pleasure.  In this short blog post, we'll talk about the advantages of self-care and provide some clear guidance on how to include it in your daily routine. Self-Care: Why It's Awesome Self-care can be considered food for your body, mind, and spirit. You need to care for yourself to thrive, just like a plant requires water to grow. Th...

We all experience moments when we find ourselves with ample free time but are unsure how to make the most of it. Rather than letting it slip away, we can utilize this precious resource to engage in meaningful activities that enhance our well-being and personal growth. I am sure just like me, you also experience some alone time when you want to go outside but due to some reasons, you cannot. Or, there could be another circumstance when you want to avoid hanging out and enjoying your own accompany. But what activities can you do to make the most of your free time?  Well, we'll find that in this blog post! Tips to make the most of your free time Even though you might not enjoy social isolation, you might feel uneasy when bored. You may think, I have no friends or nobody has nothing to do with me. Today I have nothing on my plate. Why do I feel this way? Then there are the Millennials, who must constantly be online or engaged in activity. It can be a little unsettling for children to h...

2023 is just around the corner, and sadly, many of us haven't been able to reach our 2022 goals.  But instead of criticizing ourselves for not being self-disciplined and sticking to our healthy routine, let us congratulate ourselves for sustaining through difficult times. I remember writing down my yearly goals on January 1, 2022, and I was so excited to meet them. One of them was writing a  self-help book    which I accomplished within five months, and I am so proud of myself. Other than this, I was able to complete a few more, though some are still pending. But instead of wasting time on criticism, let's concentrate on what lies in store for us in the future. For each of us, the beginning of the year feels like setting new intentions, accomplishing some materialistic things, and earning more money. But sadly, there are very few who focus on their well-being and set targets to improve their mental and emotional health. As a preacher of self-love and mental health, I...

Do you also regret your words after a conversation? We spend most of our time reacting to events and things happening in our environment. The problem is that these reactions aren't always the best course of action; as a result, they can upset others, make things worse for us, and even worsen the situation. Sometimes we don't even intend to hurt others, but because we unknowingly react to the words of others, we may end up hurting our loved ones.  This is why it is widely said by doctors and motivational and spiritual leaders to respond instead of reacting. Before we move on to the practical advantages of responding, we must first know the difference between the two. Once we are aware of the pros and cons of reacting, we will automatically implement responding in our behavior. Reacting refers to an instant response to an event or circumstances. For example, you hit me, so I'll hit you. You cheated, so I'll cheat as well. You irritated me. I will irritate you more. A reac...

First of all, congratulations to you! You took out time for yourself and decided to read this blog post, which will help you attain emotional maturity. If you think that because you are of a certain age, it means you are an emotionally mature person, then let me tell you that you are wrong. Emotional maturity has nothing to do with age contrary to physical growth. An emotionally mature person uses his mind and heart perfectly while also taking control over his emotions. It also does not mean that you are a fool because you are immature. Sometimes, we are not able to grasp the learnings from education or our life's mistakes. But once we are aware that we need to improve ourselves, we can gain emotional maturity at any age.

When someone is emotionally mature, not only does he become a better person for himself but his relationships also improve. Since h...

Today, everyone talks about self-care, mental health, and emotional needs. Many applications have been developed, both free and paid, that act as therapy for you. While it's not a new concept, my motive for writing a self-care blog post is that we could get more clarity and understanding behind it. Only by prioritizing self-care can we meet our mental and emotional needs. Do you know self-care can improve your mental health?  Let's talk about what self-care is and how we may include it in our everyday routines. What is self-care? Everyone has a different approach to self-care. For an extrovert person- it might be going out and chilling with his friends. On the other hand, an introverted person is happier spending time alone in his home. Self-care is nothing but taking care of one's emotional, mental, and physical needs. Some believe that doing daily chores such as getting up in the morning, brushing their teeth, taking a shower, etc, is self-care. While for others, these th...

Attachment, either physical or emotional, helps to keep us going. Some may confuse it with love, while others are aware of their limits. So what is this need of becoming detached from others? Why do we frequently hear from others that they require space or that they wish to withdraw from a particular relationship?  Usually when the attachment is more from one side or when one person is giving more into a relationship they become emotionally dependent on someone.  Attachment and caring are a part of love. However, when you see yourself willing to do more for others, it means you are dependent on them.  This is why many therapists or motivators ask people to withdraw themselves from others so they do not get hurt. Here we will learn why, when & how to detach from someone. Detaching or detachment does not mean you should isolate yourself so that nobody can hurt you. It means to focus on yourself and your needs so that you do not worry about someone else's behavior. It is...

In 2020 when the pandemic hit the world, we all got stressed, anxious and upset. We had to stay away from our loved ones and isolate ourselves to protect them. But gradually, we made it through it, and in December 2020, we all wished for a happy new year. We all thought this coming year would bring back our happiness and everything would get better. But little did we know that this situation was going to be worse.  Wait, I am not going to make you feel depressed! A lot is going on right now, be it the shortage of beds, oxygen, or the poor development of our healthcare system. Our social media feeds are flooded with messages from people who need assistance or news outlets broadcasting disturbing images of dead bodies. When I see such posts on my Instagram account, I feel gloomy about the situation. That feeling of fear and numbness that I experience, I am sure you guys experience it too. But as it is said that- "Hope is the only thing that can help us get through the darkest of ti...

  The moment you wake up, you start surfing your social media to see what your friends or people whom you don't like in real life (but you are still following them over social media) have posted. If someone is putting a story of them running or working out, your first thought in the morning would be- "They are getting fit and I am still fat or ugly"!  And from that moment,  you curse or doubt yourself the whole day because you think that you are unable to do things that others are doing. This was 1 side.  The other side could be: You hurry to get ready for work an hour before it begins. Before heading out the door, you shower quickly and grab an energy bar and a cup of coffee. The day has not even started yet and you feel exhausted and by the end of the week, you are all so drained up and burnt. This week again you couldn't reach your weekly goals and the cycle goes on and on... So what is the exact way to set your life back on track? How can you set a morning routin...
