Let us Love Ourselves

Have you ever felt like you needed a best friend to give you a pep talk to get into a meeting? Or that date you've been fantasizing about has suddenly made your confidence crumble like a sandcastle in the flood. If so, you're not alone. It's in our wiring to want approval, especially from the people we care about.  However, what happens if that need turns into a leash that drags us down from our own joy and inner strength? Imagine a world without a flashing neon sign controlling your happiness that someone else holds, like a remote control. One where your self-acceptance fuels your confidence like a constant beacon. That's what inner child reawakening is all about. You must know how to validate your emotions and feelings and not the rest of the world. We have learned to seek approval from others all our lives, but never did anyone realize its impact on our adulthood and relationships. If someone becomes very dependent on their partner in a relationship, this is because ...

It's easy to forget about the child living inside us who is vulnerable and too small in the hustle and bustle of adulthood. When we were young, we wanted to get older soon to enjoy night outs, do parties, earn money, and settle into life. Now, if we could revisit our childhood, most would say yes! Isn't it? As we age, responsibilities, obstacles, and societal expectations can lead us to assume that we've outgrown our inner child. But recognizing it and healing its wounds is essential to healing ourselves and improving our journey through life. Let's dive in and explore the significance of reestablishing a connection with your inner child and providing a route to self-love, healing, and stronger self-assurance. image: freepik The Forgotten Inner Child The innocent and naive aspect of ourselves that lives life with unaltered feelings and lacks the protective mechanisms we acquire as adults is our inner child. It's the part that prevailed over hardship and found happin...

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...

Many often ask me why I read so many self-development books or write this blog when I do not earn a single penny. I started writing this blog in 2020, when we were stuck in lockdown, because of my interest in self-discovery. Sometimes, I, too, wonder why I cannot see a drastic change in my behavior and attitude, as it has been almost four years on my self-discovery journey. But, as they say, change never happens overnight. You slowly shift from negative beliefs to a positive belief system. There is often a gradual change. You outgrow toxic friends, ideas, thoughts, and habits and start automatically developing positive habits, spending alone time, and recognizing the value of true friends and relationships. Most importantly, you create a new and solid connection with yourself and the higher power. But how's that possible? Everybody has those bothersome inner critics who mumble doubts and negativity. We inherit all of these due to environmental patterns and conditioning. Do you know...

Does your mood often depend on how other people behave? You usually adjust your emotional frequency in response to someone's behavior, regardless of who they are. If this is you and you do not know how to regain the remote control of your happiness that you have given others, then this blog post is for you. Considering I am also like this and working on letting others stop affecting me, I thought of why not write a blog post. You never know who is struggling with what! So let's get started! The Constant Need For Begging Others To Make You Happy Happiness is a universal desire. We always want to experience happiness. But when you ask someone when was the last time they were happy? You will often see them wondering here and there, or they will tell a moment when something important happened in their lives, like a day when their daughter got married or when they stood first in their class. But these are just a few examples of essential days when you were happy. Being happy is an i...

Many of us have servants and maids at our homes who follow our instructions and do what we ask them to do in return for wages and salaries. Now, think of your body as a servant working hard to keep you healthy. If you give it healthy and nutritious foods, enough sleep, moderate exercise, and happy thoughts, then its work will become easy. On the other hand, if you fill it up with negative and toxic foods and thoughts, then guess what? Your energy will start depleting; you will get sick and do much more than you want. Understanding that there are some things we should not do is crucial in the quest for improved health. Avoiding becoming upset with our bodies is a crucial component. Despite its strange sound, this idea is based on the strength of affirmations and positive thinking. When we are angry with our bodies, we express unhappiness with them or even with certain body parts. Treating your body with love Keep your focus off of your ailments if you want to improve your health. Rather...

Confidence is built over time and depends on various factors such as parenting, environment, and a person's belief in themselves.
