Let us Love Ourselves

Some days, when we are full of energy, happy, and vibrant, we say, "Life is amazing." But other days, when we are sad, lonely, and fearful, we curse our lives and our whole journey. Some experiences can be good, while others can be bad, but they are all based on how we view any situation. Thus, our life experiences are based on thoughts and feelings.  How we think about ourselves and the world can change how we go through life. The good news is that we can make good things happen by thinking happy thoughts and controlling our feelings. So today, let's explore some ways through which we can cultivate some inner peace and happiness independent of external circumstances. Taking charge of your emotions Feelings like sadness, anger, loneliness, and fear are all normal but they can be too hard to handle. What we do is try to avoid these emotions by busying ourselves into movies, eating junk, drinking alcohol, etc.  So it is crucial not to avoid your emotions, but to learn how ...

Do you feel that outside circumstances or events control how you think and feel? It may be true! But not every time! If you are feeling sad, depressed, or bored, you cannot always put it to someone else. You cannot always blame the situations in your life unless you are willing to take responsibility. Ever heard someone always complaining about their health, relationships, finances, job, boss, or career? Do you want to be with that person? No right! Every time they come to you or call you to talk about their sad events, you wish they cut the phone soon so you don't have to listen to their bullshit or the same repetitive story. But do you realize you have become the same person unconsciously in the eyes of the universe? Why would the universe give you peace, love, abundance, joy, and happiness if you are always playing the victim card? The knowledge the universe holds, you have the same. All you need to do is search for it by going within! It's time you stop letting outside circ...

Since childhood, I have been inclined to follow my religion and my religious beliefs. The belief is that reciting God's name and telling him your problems solves all your problems. While seeing other children of my age depending on their fathers to help them with all sorts of tasks, I couldn't, and this used to hurt me a lot. But I always used to pray to God, and he did help me by giving me courage, hope, and strength. Although you may have your own beliefs about religion, whatever they are, I am sure we have all experienced the magic of God in our lives. So, let's relive that magic and learn how surrendering to God can cure all our problems by giving us the strength to fight with them. Faith and Medicine: Two Sides of the Healing Coin Like the strands of the complicated tapestry, faith and medicine have a complex relationship. Although modern medicine has made significant advancements in its field, you cannot underestimate the power of faith. When doctors find it hard to h...

Have you ever been in a situation where you asked someone to do something for you, and they refused, giving you some lame excuse? And after some time, do you see them doing the same thing for someone else? Did that hurt you? Did you question your self-worth after that? Well, what if I told you it was never your fault if they never realized the value of a diamond? Okay, let me explain this with an example! Imagine spending hours making a delicious homemade pizza for your best friend, only to have them reject it in exchange for a classy takeaway meal with their new friends. Yes, that hurts. But consider this: what matters are their choices and taste buds, not the pizza (or the effort). It's acceptable that various things appeal to different people. Relationships are the same. No matter how much you give, sometimes others won't value it equally. They may not feel the same connection because they are busy, have different priorities, or have other reasons. What was the most challeng...

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?
