Let us Love Ourselves

Sunday is often hailed as the day of rest and relaxation, a time to recharge before the start of a new week. However, for some individuals, it can be a day fraught with anxiety and sadness, commonly known as "Sunday depression" or "Sunday blues."  This phenomenon is characterized by a sense of gloom, anxiety, and a looming feeling of dread about the upcoming workweek.  This blog will explore the root causes of Sunday depression and provide practical tips to overcome it, ensuring a more positive and productive start to the week. So let's get started.. Understanding Sunday Depression Sunday depression is not a clinical term but rather a widely experienced emotional state that impacts a significant number of people. Several factors contribute to this feeling: 1. Transition Anxiety: Sundays signify transitioning from a leisurely weekend to a work-driven week, triggering anxiety about the responsibilities and challenges ahead. 2. Unfinished Tasks: If the weekend was...

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...

Do you also feel people keep getting under your skin? Do you often get irritated by someone else's simple yet weird habits?  If so, you are not alone here! We all sometimes get disturbed by the behavior of others.  Now let me tell you the hard TRUTH!  If you keep getting offended or even hurt by someone's words, actions, or behavior, that is your problem. Because people behave according to their knowledge, wisdom, and karma. This does not have to do anything with you or your mood.  You might think that it is impossible to keep calm when someone is constantly making you angry, frustrated, or irritated.  But ask yourself if they are giving you the negative emotions or are you creating them on your own?  When we are aware that our soul is made of seven qualities, which are purity, peace, love, joy, bliss, power, and knowledge, then why would we create negative emotions and hurt ourselves? We believe that the other person is to blame for how we feel because we ...

  If you have read my ebook  "It All Starts With You" , you already know what topic I am going to write about here. In that e-book, I have already shared the importance of self-care and why putting yourself over others is not selfish. I don't know what inspired me, but in this blog post, I again want to talk about the same. Perhaps because self-care is still undervalued today. Part of the cultural society, especially when it comes to women are believed to be a superwoman. They are considered to work and do stuff for others and never get tired. In fact, men too are thought to be emotionless and robust because they are never seen expressing their concerns like women and being vulnerable. Therefore, self-care and putting yourself before others are essential for everyone irrespective of gender.  The real issue arises when we consider elevating ourselves above others. When we love our family, spouse, friends, and children, we tend to consider their needs above ours and how we ...

Do your eyes hurt after staring at your phone for long periods? This feeling of depletion and tiredness is probably because you are suffering from digital exhaustion. Just like our bodies feel burnout after doing so much work physically, in the same way, our minds too feel exhausted. The constant connectivity online makes us disconnected from ourselves and our reality. We may feel good watching what others are up to on social media but that also leads to negative self-talk and comparison. Repetitively watching news online can deteriorate your mental health and impact it most terribly. The research reveals that screentime has dramatically increased in the last two years during COVID-19. With online studying and working from home, there has been a prolonged use of digital technology. While this may appear to be the obvious decision at the time, too much screen time can become an addiction for you, much like alcohol and drugs, and may cause you to develop ailments you haven't even con...

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...

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...
