Are You Feeling Blue?

Are You Feeling Blue

It is a fact that we are conditioned with being optimistic. Being happy, being positive all the time.
We have been enforcing this belief in our minds; I mean “Wrong Belief” on our subconscious mind so much that when we are upset or dull we, even more, start feeling demotivated and devastated because we cannot meet our brain’s false expectations.

It is a fact that at some point in life we are bound to feel negative, down, demotivated…
And it is absolutely OK and Absolutely Accepted 🙂

So when we are on an emotional roller coaster ride and trying to balance out ourselves,
These 10 habits would help the most.
These are tried and tested by me.
And It works Perfectly.

Habit no 1:- Writing a Journal

Make two parts in the journal.
In one part write down things that you did in a day that made you happy.

In another part write down things that made you feel sad and depressed. Now once you write this part. Read it and just cut it off with a pen.

You will feel relaxed.
By doing so we are not going to erase these ugly things or memories but we are just accepting it to move on from it at the earliest.

Habit no 2:- Maintaining a manifestation or affirmations book

Now, this is something fancy yet effective.
Maintain a book in which you write down things you want to manifest.
Write down your dreams.
Write down your wish list here.
And in affirmations book write down qualities that you want for your self-development.

Make sure you use present tense while writing not present continuous tense or future tense.
For e.g. I’m confident…I’m courageous…
And feel like you already have it.

This has transformed many people’s lives around me including mine 🙂

Habit no 3:- Complimenting on small things

Compliments never go waste…
Give compliments to people around…
Be thankful to mom for sacrificing her dreams for us…
Be thankful to our dad who always tries to treat us like a prince or princess…
Be thankful to your spouse for unconditional love and fabulous companionship…
Be thankful to the friend who had been there for you always…
Be thankful to your siblings for little fights that give immense joy and make the bond stronger…
Be thankful to the universe for helping you out by fulfilling your wishes…
Be thankful to nature for giving us a lot of resources…
Be thankful to your neighbor who cooks the delicious dish at the weekend dinner parties…
Be thankful to each one around you…
everyone teaches you something so make them happy with simple compliments…

Habit no 4:- Enjoying little things

This is something that I had been doing since my childhood.
I love enjoying small things.
Let it be first snowfall or rain. Let it be grandma’s kiss. Let it be playing with kids. Let it be drenching in rain with your pets. Let it be gardening and talking to plants while watering them.

Small things often give you more happiness 🙂

Habit no 5:- Self-love

This is very important.
Self-pampering… self-care… self-respect… self-love should be our habit.
It is said, “Feel guilty for not prioritizing yourself first”.
It is True.
Doing things that you like. Pampering your body becomes part of a habit if you opt to do these practices daily.

Habit no 6:- Meditation

This connects you to your higher self…Not to higher self but to Inner self 😉

It just stops mind chatter…Makes you peaceful and also gives you a bonus in the form of mental strength.

Take out at least 15 minutes a day to get connected to your inner voice. Your inner soul.

Habit no 7:- Taking out time for a hobby

Don’t you think many times we do not pay attention to our buddies due to our tedious busy schedule?

I think they really need attention from us because they really want to help us.

Being a busy student…being a busy businessman…being a busy housewife…being busy working folks. We often forget to justify talents within us. We just suppress them.
But let them pop out.
Give some time to your talents and hobbies.
Spending time on our hobbies is as good as spending time with our soul.
So Are you ready to play your guitar after a long gap?

Let’s get started then 🙂

Habit no 8:- Giving gifts to self

I tell my secret of being motivated. I was consistently failing in my exams for more than 7 attempts. But I remember I used to give myself a tiny gift each time just to keep myself motivated.
The failure phase is not permanent. So lift up the mood with self-appreciation.
Give yourself a gift on your victories and on your special days. Do not wait until someone will come to appreciate you by gifting you something.

Habit no 9:- Trying to fight all alone

This sounds weird…Right?

We always need someone around us to fight our problems. We rely on folks by thinking that they will fight with our problems on behalf of us.
But most of the time we end up fighting all alone. And it is really good to be self-reliant in this case.
Of course, we need to take guidance and advice to cope up in a better way, but expecting others to solve our issues and problems is like a fairy tale.
So make your mind trained for this instead of training it to rely on others in our bad phases.
The way we feel responsible and accountable for our success, let us make ourselves responsible and accountable to failures as well.

Habit no 10:- Stamping in mind “It is ok to be messy and imperfect”

Half of our life we spend in proving ourselves…making us perfect…and being tidy…But it sounds boring…Right???

Just tell your mind it is ok not to achieve all these hyped things.

Trying to make ourselves perfect and ideal drains a lot of our energy and it also frustrates us by seeing that we could not meet our expectations.

Tell yourself I am perfect with my imperfections.
Accept your flaws and cherish them.
Tell your mind It is ok to fail again and again…Failure is a part of life.
We never like to read a story of successful people who never struggled and became successful…Right???
So self-acceptance matters a lot for self-love.

These seem very simple and negligible things but if you make each one your habit, it changes your life gradually.
You will experience more contentment than before.

And even If nobody likes you or loves you, there will be always a person who will love you from bottom of their heart.
You know who would be that person 😉

I hope this article would help you to understand your soul 🙂

An Open Letter To The Hustlers

An Open Letter To The Hustlers

To be or not to be, to go all in or to unwind and relax, we question our dreams, running in constant chase of our quests to come true, we are the ones who never sleep. Dreamers we are called, the ones who passionately strive in the endeavours of the best they could ever be, here is a letter to me, a letter to you. In the stride of embracing the best you have ever been, nurture your soul before the onset of the abundance in you that lies unseen.

Too bold, too much for your age, you are doing too much, how often have you heard these notions been used to describe you? As we tirelessly strive to achieve the next goal we have in our mind, we are often told that we are being hard on ourselves, to enjoy life a little. Life in its entirety passes by us in its dynamic flair, and the existence we envisage holds unique individuality to each one of us. The choices one makes for themselves belies them and them only, and t

How To Remain Centered And Calm In Face Of Difficulty

My life is a mess and I have nothing to be grateful about! I witness myself say this phrase from time to time, where life plonks us into the desperation of ebb and flow of wilderness and things not going in our favour.

It is easy to say we are grateful and in complete balance when things are going well and life feels like the warm embrace of the sun shining on a Sunday morning. But the real test lies in remaining grateful and centred when life feels like spinning out of control.

While it is easier said than done, here are some reminders that might help you get through the days that feel like a burden –

1) This too shall pass, no moment in time that feels permanent loses its impermanence. We often lose hope when things don’t go our way and during these sad days, we should remember, that t

15 Most Liberating Thoughts For Someone Who Needs It

Our life unfolds in a succession of revelations of who we are. It is when we sit down and repeat the same sentence in our head over and over again, in every action we perform, every activity we indulge ourselves in, does it indulges into our existence as a habit.

The key to having a sense of liberation is allowing life to flow through, not forcing anything and more essentially not resisting change. I believe that our life improves in the direct proportionality of how often we are exposed to situations where are forced to challenge our age-old beliefs and counterfeited perceptions and seek the greater version of ourselves. When we get too comfortable in the comfort zones we build for ourselves, we do not grow into the people we are meant to be. Sadly most people embrace change only when metamorphosis is the less painful and only possible option.

I know that

My Rendezvous With Life

My Rendezvous With Life

The treacherous waters of existence hail in their stride,As the beauty of sailing against the winds uproars in its ride.Benevolence in its yonder stirs the mirth of the true,Navigating the turbulent waves, death and I had a rendezvous.

I sought the beauty of the light that was unseen,In the depths of my muse, I found my world within.Life in its flair, trudged me into the emblems of the dark,The dreams that perspired in the seed embraced their death,As it was time for a new quest to embark.

Quaint whispers that echoed in their gallant stance,The jeers that surmounted the uncertainty galloped in their dance.Silencing the wind, bestriding the fall,I plunged into the entirety of my endeavours that call

The Power of Understanding Your Love Language

The Power of Understanding Your Love Language

Love is the purest emotion one feels towards themselves and another individual. While the expression of love can vary in its entirety from one person to another, the care we hold for the ones we love shares an undeniable impact on how we forge our perceptions of interpersonal relationships. The way we communicate our feelings to someone also says a lot about how we are wired, the method of conveying our affection to our beloved ones is called a love language. You may express affection to the one you love regularly, but do you take the time to ensure that you are communicating it in the way that the other person prefers? Even love can become lost in translation when two individuals speak different love languages.

What are the five love languages?

The Beauty Of Gratitude In A World Full Of Cynicism

Ever acquainted with the phrase that the world that you exist in, the life that you embody dwells in the perception of the stance you hold for yourself. The beauty and the tragedy of life is that it is as beautiful as the optimistic lens of perception and as ugly as the pessimistic view of your being.

The strive of our endeavours and the constant effort to achieve the next massive milestone often drive us to the edges of insanity, to be in the consistent light of greatness we lose sight of the great strings of joy that bind our existence together. To be the best we have ever been we must be mindful of the best we are. Coinciding in the traps of negativity and yet claiming to be the best version of yourself is a blinding truth that lies to only

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I breathe in the sauntering air that collapses my being,I breathe through the crevices of my existence unseen.Uncertainty in its yonder strikes in bolt on the scars that nobody sees,Redemption that loves, redemption that is free, find me in the depths of my poetry.

Tales of lust ridden in smeared touches that belie,Entreated with envy, the visions of victory lie.To be or not to be in a question that yet lies,For I yearn for a world where fond passion never dies.

Enclasped in the cage of the deemed duty,Bounded in her vows, she forgot she was a thing of beauty.In a realm we live, where amour in its truth fails to stand tall,She, tired of her existence, submerges herself into the beauty that her dreams enthrall.

Chaos in its uproar hails in its darkness
