Let us Love Ourselves

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.

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.

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...

Have you ever felt like a victim? Do you self-pity all the time?  Do you think the whole world is against you and no one seems to care about you? Well if you do so or if you know someone who always thinks he is helpless and powerless then it may be because of victim mentality. Who is a victim? A victim is someone who has been robbed, attacked, humiliated, tortured physically. But when someone intentionally tries to divert the situation around himself, we might say, "He is playing a victim card!" Why? Because we can easily understand that nothing has happened to him or nobody tortured him, still he is self-pitying himself for no reason. In general, we all are victims. At one point or other, we all have felt helpless. While some of us ditched our helplessness and stood firm but others couldn't leave their victim mindset.  Signs of a victim mentality Not everyone purposely plays a sympathy card, sometimes they don't know how to overcome a situation that leads to them bei...

When we were children we always wanted to grow up fast and become adults because we wanted to  hang out with our friends, to do a job or establish a successful career, to make money, to be in relationships, and w anted the freedom to do anything,  And now when we have become adults and behaving like adults on the outside, there is still a child present inside us who rejoices seeing an ice cream or having a candy.  That child may have seen or witnessed something shocking which did not get healed at that particular time. And now those wounded pieces of evidence can be seen in our present behavior which is very important for us to heal so that our present should not get suffered.  In our previous post-  why-you-must-reparent-yourself.html we have learned about what reparenting is and about our inner child. In this post, we will learn what we can do to reparent or you can say heal ourselves.
