Why putting yourself over others isn't a bad choice?

Image
  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 ...

10 daily reminders that will help you live a better life

Image
With the daily turmoil we face, whether it is at work or in our family, it becomes hard to live a fulfilling and peaceful life. Our hearts desire to have someone who constantly motivates us and boosts our self-esteem. While it's wonderful to have someone in your life who lifts your spirits, you must also recognize that you cannot rely on them every time you feel down. Because everyone is fighting their own internal issues, it's unlikely that you'll have the support of others every time you're stuck in a situation or facing a life problem. Some days, all you need is YOU to get through the day or the problem that you are currently facing.  Hence, we must constantly remind ourselves that we can get through anything if we believe in ourselves. This is why I decided to share with you all 10 positive reminders that will help you get through any day, no matter how difficult it is. So before you give your hands up, remember to read this blog post and take every message that res...

When is the right time to emotionally detach from someone?

Image
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...

Have you ever been in a position when you know the other person does not want to talk with you but you still want to? They're implying that they don't want to be with you by their acts and behaviors, but you're not ready to accept this! You want them to call you or text you. And when they do not call or respond to your texts, you check them on all the other social media platforms. Seeing them online on Facebook or Whatsapp makes your heartache Isn't it? Trust me I know how it feels to feel abandoned, and shattered. It looks like we are the most unworthy human on this planet. We beat ourselves up.

They are full of love and, they give love to everyone around ...

5 Easy Ways To Manage Your Mental Wellbeing During Covid19

Image
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...

7 Things To Remember When You Are Feeling Worthless

Image
  In our life, we all have been to a point where everything went wrong, nothing worked in our favor and then we got sad and frustrated. We try to control the situation, hold our emotions in front of our family, and cry out loud by soaking our face against the pillow. I know this feeling is terrible when we feel like- "I am Worthless!" , "I am a burden to my family!" At that moment we only want peace! Peace inside our heart, mind, and everywhere around us. When we are hit back by a sudden change or a negative situation that is not in our control, we are often surrounded by negative emotions. I would say it's okay to feel worthless at some point- because only then you would be able to recognize your true self. However, continuously repeating negative self-talk and feeling bad about yourself will lead you to more negative situations.  Let's think of what you can do when you are feeling low, sad, and worthless. Here are the top 07 things to remember whenever y...

Why Do I Always Think People Are Better Than Me?

Image
Do you see people excelling well in their careers and life?  Having more knowledge and expertise than you?  When you are about to start a project or a business or decide to be a freelancer, you may note someone more qualified and skilled than you. Watching them makes you doubt your abilities, hence dropping your confidence level. You may even ask yourself- Am I worth it? A plethora of entrepreneurs already exists in the market and that too for many years. When will I achieve success? Such questions and many more tend to come into our minds when we think like this. Everyone has felt this. Believe me, there is no single person on earth who has not thought like this at least once in his life. Your anxiety takes the toll when your friends and relatives ask about your career. Even when you are learning and gathering resources, you may think twice to speak to them about what you are doing. Some of us have even dropped our plans, or didn't chase our dreams as they were too far from u...

How To Not Care What People Think Of You?

Image
Basically, we all care about what people think of us in some or the other way. This is the reason why we try to speak English in a better accent (especially those whose mother tongue is not English), we dress so perfectly when socializing, we try to eat what other eat that too with proper etiquettes, moreover, we watch what others watch be it on Netflix, Amazon Prime or any other Hollywood movie. And if some of us are not doing what others are doing we are forced to hear that if we belong to another planet? Let's get back to our school days when Justin Beiber and Taylor swift were so new and popular during those days and some of our friends and classmates were used to gossip about them because they had the access to internet and laptops at their home and we were not. Our friends/classmates used to sing that popular song of Taylor Swift- "You belong with me". But you were clueless, b ecause you were not used to these kinds of songs or because you did not use to have acces...
