Let us Love Ourselves

Whenever anyone says to others that they are single or living alone or like going on solo dates, they are often remarked by people, saying "alone leads to loneliness." While it's understandable that people give us advice for our benefit, if we are alone, we may end up going into depression because of having no social connections. But this blog post is not about setting aside everything and isolating yourself. Nor is it about keeping yourself busy and chasing people so you don't end up alone, even if you have to stay in a toxic marriage. I am here to tell you that being alone can help you on your self-love journey, make you a better human, and heal your uncovered wounds so that you can make better connections with the people around you. Once you know the difference between living alone and loneliness, you'll automatically make better decisions for yourself in all aspects of life. So, are you ready to dive deep into these terms to gain a better understanding? Let...

Everyone gets excited for New Year's Eve and plans it with their friends and loved ones—many even set resolutions and goals they want to achieve in the coming year. Planning for the New Year also includes setting common goals like hitting the gym and working on your physical health. While it is an excellent way to kickstart off the year and the new month, how many times have you sustained and worked towards your goals consistently? Many of us fantasize about new goals for a few days until our self-sabotage kicks in, and we return to our old habits. Isn't it true? We then post our goals on our stories and let everyone know about them, seeking validation and appreciation for the goals set. But instead of achieving those goals and making a strategy for getting close to our goals, we talk about them more often. What's the point of only speaking and not taking inspired action? Social Media: The New Enemy of Our Happiness Remember how, decades back, the internet was a game change...

We frequently find ourselves in situations and relationships that make us feel unworthy or unimportant. These experiences can be like a tangled web, making us doubt ourselves and our worth.  We often encounter difficulties and make decisions that may gradually erode our self-esteem. But we must find the courage to break free from these negative influences and rediscover our true value and importance. It's about untangling ourselves from the things that hold us back and recognizing the worth that's always been inside us. It is easy to lose sight of our true essence as we prioritize others' happiness over our own. However, as the adage goes, "No one is worth losing yourself over."   In this empowering blog post, we will delve into the importance of self-discovery and self-love, understanding how to let go of toxic relationships, and embracing a renewed sense of worthiness. At some point in our lives, we may have experienced the challenge of preserving our self-worth...

Do you feel like bad things keep happening to you one after the other? If some days things are not happening as you desired, do you feel like something is not good? Most of us live our lives feeling okay. We pray to God to get us out of bad situations, and when those situations disappear from our lives, we feel happy for a few minutes or days, and then we again get back to the cycle of feeling okay. Everyone says to keep thinking positively all the time, but how do we do so? How can someone generate good thoughts 24x7?  Is it possible? Let's find out! Being positive all the time sucks!!! Those who say "be positive no matter what" is simply spreading toxic positivity. According to  Wikipedia - "It is a pressure to stay upbeat no matter how dire the situation is." One cannot be happy or even okay if someone in his family is sick or he recently got fired. Hence, the point of remaining positive in difficult situations is invalid.  However, developing and maintaining...

Do you hate spending time alone? Do you get frustrated when suddenly your plans to go out get canceled? I am sure most of you probably answered yes to the above questions. Because why not? A man is a social animal, and he always wants to be surrounded by a group of people to chill with and have fun. However, if there is a time when you have no other option but to sit by yourself without your friends and family, what makes you so desperate to go out?  Why do you hate spending time alone? Of course, we need to maintain a balance between spending alone time with ourselves and spending time socializing.  I myself get desperate some days because I so want to go out, but having no social circle makes me sad and angry.  There are days when I want to be alone and spend time with myself, and there are other days when I feel lonely in my own company.  If you didn't want to be alone but ended up feeling lonely and now this thing is scaring you off, then relax and read this enti...

  source: Pinterest          If you have a friend who speaks to you the same way, you sometimes speak to yourself, how long he would be your friend? You will say, I would immediately cut off contact with him because he speaks rubbish to me and for me. But have you ever realized, that you are your biggest enemy when you speak those toxic and bad words for yourself! O ur mind is always thinking something depending on what circumstances are on the outside. When we have a dream, that is also caused by the thought patterns of our mind. Hence, about 95% of the time our mind keeps on thinking except when we are in deep sleep. Someone who is disempowering us, or not supporting us, or taunting us all of the time, we may not like to be with them, because all we are getting is negative vibes from them. But how can we run away from ourselves? When we do negative self-talk, we don't have the option to run away, all we can do is stop that thought, change that thought, ...

What Is Happiness? The word happiness refers to-  "an appraisal of life and all the good things that are happening to you or surrounding you." "the reality or emotions you are facing right now in the present." "the opposite of sadness and synonym of joy, pleasure, cheerfulness." This amazing word is amazing in itself. It's a feeling that we experience when anything good happens to us such as job satisfaction, scoring good marks, marrying our dream life partner, seeing our family happy, and so on. Happiness is an inner feeling that we express when we get what we desire.  Being happy gives us positivity, motivation, and confidence to do more. Also, it is a temporary feeling that we sense.  We get temporarily happy after getting anything. For instance, you make a girlfriend you are happy, you got an iPhone you are happy.   But after some time everything becomes normal because we adapt those habits into our lives . Again we tend to feel happy when everyth...
