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.

Be Gentle to Others

 First thing first, we all do pass some kind of remarks to xyz person. Many of us do have that hidden judge inside which could awake any moment when it comes to make a judgment (about others). But the thing to be notice is, do you know the whole story? Well...in most cases obviously not. Yelling and shouting at some random person without knowing the conditions he/she have been in the past or present. Without thinking a second and ignoring him/her to the extent of feeling alien, playing with his/her emotions and those creepy remarks. The his/her part of the story could be scary, could be rough and may be you're doing nothing good but just adding more to the fuel. I feel it's time that you should understand this fact and be kind(without any reason). Let's have empathy and respect to all their struggles and stories they can't reveal in public. Let's have a society where patience prevail and no place for anger/judgement.

Little Things

Is it necessary to celebrate only for materialistic things? Yes it's not bad to feel happy about your achievements. But the question is how you define an achievement? Things like promotion, getting a valuable gift, winning a lottery, getting a pay raise do feel like achievement. You do feel happy about them and you should be. But your happiness shouldn't be define with only materialistic things. In fact, why not to add some simple, and non-materialistic things in the list that are worth celebrating. The value they add into your life and peace would be equal to value provided by other materialistic things. 1. Saying "YES" to yourself by saying "NO" to other things. 2. Speaking your own truth. 3. Feeling that tiny rays of sun on your skin. 4. Changing your mind to "follow your own heart"  5. Valuing the present moment as it is a gift 6. Forgiving yourself. 7. Turning back to the path you have covered with a smile of gratitude 8. Stepping away from an

What you feel

  How weird is when we try to judge our whole life with our present mental illness. Kinda self demotivating condition, isn't it. Human mind is too confusing sometimes. It could be an automatic trigger of demotivation which force us to think that we are kinda useless. The whole atmosphere of our mind, the thoughts, consciousness, subconsciousness get submerged into it. It's kinda parasite...the more you allow it to hurt you the more it will. It's nobody but you your own making the situation worse. How to deal with it? Just think of the million more reasons who could be grateful for. Just think of all your achievements and important people. Try to distract your mind, start slow and then completely remove the parasite inside your mind. Try new hobbies, meet new people, try everything that will engage you. It won't be smooth ,not at all but conditions would be much better. Give it a try, start from today.

Ingredients for Growth

Image
 Can't agree more with this post? How beautiful it shows the law of nature. People say everything happening in nature directs our own existence. So take a look on how plants grow. Every plant grow differently and in different condition. They need different sunshine, water and care. Nature too respect their existence and growth process. So why we humans never interpret this message. Why we are so rigid about growth ? Why we tend to follow instruction of an online influencer or so called motivational speaker ? We need to understand the ingredients required for our growth. Different people require different ingredients for their growth. Accept the differences you have compared with others. Because these are the differences which makes you unique. Don't push yourself to a single rigid path of growth. Observe your own behavior, things that make you sad and things that make you happy. And yes, never judge yourself.

Re-watching

 Now this is something interesting. Studies have shown that rewatching favorite shows/movies really helps. Let's figure out why. One important reason is that we already are identical to them. We do know how they affect and manage our emotions. The certain part of the show and it's impact on certain emotional state is known to us. Instability and insecurities are worst. But rewatching shows provides certain amount of stability and a sense of safety. It's obvious that we do know the upcoming scenes so we are ready to absorb the impact or kinda get a warning signal. Hence the mental energy spent is less. They provide an easy path for revival of happy memories and make us feel good. Not only reels, but rewatching our own past life moments could sometimes provide us with great sense of satisfaction and happiness. What's your favorite show and movie?

Say NO !

How often do you say NO to the things you don't actually want? Are you a silent - yet yelling acceptor? Okay so can we make saying "No" to plans normal. People do have their own comfort level while indulging in unanimous plans, whether it's a party or a trip. There are factors attached that need to have a green signal of my intuition before I say "Yes". After all, I have all the liberty to choose my own experiences and moments. And if something felt like a blockage then I have all the rights to drop the plan/idea. People do have the right  to drop the plans and say "NO" - If they don't feel comfortable with someone's presence. - Don't judge them if they drop the plan because they don't want to deal with people and just need a peaceful time. - They have priorities. Having a different plan for themselves shouldn't be judged. - If they feel anxious with any environment or group of people then it's ok to say "No". How
