People Pleaser

Yes, you are kind and respectful to others. Yes, you care about their feeling. Yes, you try to make them happy with your efforts. There is nothing bad in it. . But what if your this habit becomes obsession. And that destroys your own self-esteem and mental health. Starting from frustration, to feeling helpless in expressing on thoughts and opinion. It all happens when you ignore your own happiness for people. Be kind always to people but not at cost of your own self-esteem. Set boundaries and stick to them, that's a fair deal. Moreover, you don't need to prove your worthiness to every person. We can't satisfy all of them. So it's good to set the boundaries and never drop the head.

Crab Mentality

People facing traumas and other mental problems are often judged. Usually on:- - Work capacity - Energy - Social stance - Habits - Behavior And on many such things. We always find something unusual about them(unacceptable too). But wait...why don't we realize they aren't in their natural condition.. Exactly!! No normal person, enjoying his/her natural conditions would behave like that. Just look at the wider picture and the conditions he might be in. May be he's living in "Crab mentality" where his own thoughts pulling him down. May be he's been with certain people who never let him escape and be back to normal. We being a privileged one and in our natural conditions shouldn't judge him. Who knows how we would've been reacted while in same bowl of crabs. So it should be understood that it's just been in unfortunate, unprivileged and unnatural conditions. They would be okay sooner or later, when times will improve.

Say No to "GUILTY"

Image
 People with kind hearts share one common attire, and that's "feeling Guilty" easily. It's an unknown regret that keeps bothering your mental peace for mistakes and decisions you made. Possibly while:- • Leaving a toxic job • Declining a phone call • Doing what's best for you • Saying 'No' to others • Working for dreams and aspirations The thought of becoming selfish hits first and along with that comes 'Guilt'. Yes, that sucks and eats you up. But hey, just wait and look at the bigger picture. Our life is full of decisions and we make them everyday. Each one of us have unique thought making process and hence unique decisions. It isn't selfish but aligned to life journey we had till now. The bad/good experiences of life formed our mind in a way where it could find mental peace in its own unique way. Believe me, you don't need to feel guilty while taking all above mentioned decision. You have the right to find your mental stability and take

Let Go Of

Somebody said it right that "nothing but iron's own rust destroy it" That's what may be we are doing. Thoughts of being ungrateful and unfortunate are always on a "Play" mode. Playing with our life in such a way that we loose it all. Why do we behave like that? Aren't there enough people to condemn us that we're demoralizing our own self. Avoid these mistakes friend. These negative self talks will do no good except demotivating you. They will eat life like rust and you'll never know. Instead, fill your life with self compassion. Tell yourself that you're blessed. You have all those things that most of the people wish for. This life is beautiful, you just need to change the angle of your thinking. You are good at many things. Still, you are keen to work on things you aren't good at. Life is all about improvement. Don't take unnecessary burden of negative self talk.

Please Everyone ????

Most of us have this bad habit of appeasement. We always want to look good in eyes of others. We always want to be in good books. To achieve that we literally ignore our true nature and do things which doesn't sound like us. We're afraid of being ignored and rejected. But the reality is you simply can't. You can't make everyone respect you. No matter what good you do and to how many people, there would be people who'll judge you and won't like you. It's not they are bad about you but it's just they have their own opinion. Pleasing others for approval and acceptance might feel good for a short term,  but eventually you will lose yourself and feel resentful. Please yourself first, then give it to others based on conscious choice, not for the desire for approval. Its okay if others always keep on judging you for whatever you do, let them be, if you are true to your inner self, oh my dear friend, that's enough ! In place of changing your behavior for app

That person in our life !

 You’ve a simple mantra – have no expectations from people, because you were convinced that there was nobody for you and then, you met them and your world flipped. They made you feel warm, sitting under the sun after taking a bath in a winter morning kind of warm. They were your rays of sunshine, in a way. You were certain that they will leave, too, but they never did. They were around, whenever you needed them, with their goofy smile, they’d set your demons straight and calm you down. What years of therapy couldn’t achieve, a few moments did – you felt at peace. You want to watch chick flicks and walk under the stars with them. Dancing in the rain and singing your favourite songs with them feels no less than being at the top of the world. They make you believe in the goodness of the world. They go out of their way to make you smile on days you don’t even feel like waking up. They accept you for who you are, with all your flaws and insecurities. They believe in you and not pity you. Th

People in life

  Occasionally in life, you come across somebody who is meant to stay in your life but somehow you don't see that. They make you recognize your self-worth, they realize your true significance. They cherish you in every way possible. They say things you only dreamt of hearing.  You ask yourself when and how did they become so important to you.  You can't help but burn your rule book and fall for them. Funny because not a day passes by when you don't think of them.  You do things for them you never believed you'd do again for anyone. You share your fears, inner thoughts, and heartbreak stories without fearing that they'll judge you. You tell them your favorite quotes, dreams, stupid embarrassing stories from your childhood. You laugh, you smile and you love every single moment you get to spend with them because you just can't seem to get enough of them.  And you wish for this one to stick around for a long time. But in fact, at some point of life, they will start

I Love Me

 So, maybe nobody loves me. Maybe nobody will ever love me. But maybe it’s not about being loved by somebody else. The one you loved didn’t love you back. or perhaps, they left saying you were too much or not enough for them. You loved them more than you ever loved yourself, and they broke your heart. It hurt. It hurt bloody too much. it was like bees stinging every part of your body for a long time. Whenever you felt lonely, you loved people just to feel less alone. Often, you loved the wrong ones. Sometimes, you loved the ones who had said they would not stay. you loved all – because something was better than nothing. But as it is with all wounds, you got used to the pain. You got used to the absence of love. You became this person who stopped seeking love. you started growing up. You started doing things on your own. from going to the movies to going out for a walk, you started doing it all alone. And after a point, you started liking it, too.  You don’t need someone to love you to

Sooooo nice !!! Danger X

It’s 11 pm and you’re about to fall asleep because you’ve to wake up early. a friend calls and you spend the next two hours listening to them rant. You do it because you consider them friends. You’re someone who puts everyone else before yourself. There’s little kindness in the world, you know, but you need to be gentle towards yourself, too. You’ve friends who call you only when they need you, and then, they disappear for days and weeks. You’ve friends who take your kindness for granted. You never really learnt to say no to others. You are a part of their every moment, and even they know, you’re always going to be around. You have days when your best friend leaves your text on read. Your parents don’t ask you if you are okay. You have days when it felt like the people who were supposed to understand you the most, didn’t. On days like these, I hope you remember to be kinder to yourself. Being good to others doesn’t mean that others will be good to you, too. You know that and you’

Mother - one & only real warrior

A mother's heart is the only place where you’ll live forever , for she was the beginning of your story, your first home and perhaps the only home you can call yours. From the moment she held us in her arms to the day our body ceases to work, only a mother herself would know of the strength it takes to prepare us for all the curves that life throws at us.  The sacrifices they happily make every single day makes me wonder how I even have the audacity to quibble about my trivial life issues. And then I remember, before she knows of the heart that beats within her, she too was a little girl with faults of her own kind. She was scared, gentle, and breakable, none of which you will ever know, because from your first breath to her very last and perhaps beyond, she was the only one who held you fearlessly, your constant shoulder to lean on, your strongest shield and the author of all your favourite stories.  She'll always put your life before hers but somewhere along the lines, her hap
