8 Things To Absolutely Do This Year!


 1. Individuality :

This year talk about yourself, rather talk to yourself. Don’t underestimate the “ME- Time”. Go out on dates with yourself, look around and just breathe.

This little habit will help you love yourself, which is so under-rated and under-practiced.

2. Learn a NEW skill:

Save little bucks for yourself with which you can do almost anything- singing classes, swimming lessons, yoga, or marketing. Anything.

 It obviously adds another star to your CV but, other than that it also makes you feel good about yourself.

3. Set small goals:

They say “To have big, huge dreams”, the thing that they forgot to add was that having big dreams can scare you and leave you unmotivated. This can be solved by breaking it down into small aims.

For eg. If your dream is to become the next pop sensation and you are not sure whether it can be converted into a full-fledged career then, start slow; upload your videos on youtube, or sing in college fests, etc. This will lead to bigger changes.

4. Nothing happens in a day:

I’ll be honest everybody no, mostly everyone wants quick results. We just love everything fast and quick- fast foods, fast ride, weight reduction pills …….. in short, the Shortcuts.

But these quick fixes don’t last long unless it is a giant jumbo with extra cheese, burger. If you want a toned body- it takes time and effort (a little every day is better than nothing at all). Doing 30 squats a day is a good start but thinking it will make you Arnold is toxic.

5. Do Something Good:

Yea, right this everybody knows, but how many actually practice it.

I visited an orphanage on my last birthday, although I couldn’t go there again; I can’t get the feeling out. The smiles, the gratitude, a new perspective it was a huge learning experience. I’ll do it again this year, donate a bit and play a bit.

6. Stay connected:

Social media connection is not what I mean here, having 2000 friends on Facebook doesn’t make you connected.

Visiting some old places that were a part of your life, meeting old friends or teachers even an old classroom can rekindle your inner fire. It can actually de-clutter things.

7. Eat brightly:

Yes, bright is the word. Try eating vegetables and fruits of every color possible- blue, green, orange, purple, everything. More the diversity better it is.

Think of it as ingesting rainbow. You’ll literary go colorful.

8. Keep a journal:

This has been said and heard many times but again a reminder is required.

Penning down your emotions, turmoil, joy, confusion won’t necessarily lead to a solution but will clarify things and get them in order. It will help in clearing the mess, making Head-space.

These little small things, matter! Practicing them matters more.
Lead this year with intentions rather than resolutions, it will go way longer than just the month of January.

What you owe to yourself!

Image
There are a bunch of things we owe to ourselves, not being intuitive about the same can cause confusion, unhappiness,  void, or a melancholic feeling. Being in love is the greatest frequency one can vibe in. It's a feeling like no other. It's a good place to feel secure, loved, respected, and welcomed. Love of all forms and to anybody.  Scratching the misconceptions now: Depending on others for your happiness, can actually make you feel powerless and in a need to gain control over that person. Not so welcoming anymore.  What you owe to yourself:  Gather yourself, your life, and try to make yourself happy. With little moments of love for yourself. If it is so demanding, think of yourself as a separate being you would not want to hurt and you kind of like.  (Hey, the days we hate ourselves. Considering that.) Nurture them, take care of them, respect them, be easy on them, guide them, surprise them, challenge them. THEM is YOU.  Making hair, coloring them, coo

To Be a Woman!

Image
Writing after so long for a truly inspired post, something which has been so close to my heart. To understand what it is to be a woman.  There are so many things I feel we know exist but we turn a blind eye towards them. Blaming it on - is how things have been going. If not doing something, we should at least stop being a part of it. Patriarchy, dominance, inequality, unequal women to men ratio, it's a long list.  Sometimes I feel some of the traditions laid out in the society are formed just to keep women in their place.  Photo by  Becca Tapert  on  Unsplash Questions: Why are women of color, sexuality & different sizes shamed for presenting themselves as they are ? Why is there a need to fight for equality? Why can't we just accept compliments without adding a flaw to them with the fear of appearing arrogant and not modest?  So many metoo cases, inside the clan too, there is so much jealousy and strife.  Women have to fight, understand, make terms wi

How to differentiate Between Attraction, Liking, and Love!?

Image
I'm no love-scientist, but this is what I've picked on the way... These three emotions can be confused with each other, they might even overlap each other at some points but are never the same thing:                                                                                   ATTRACTION: It's about that eyebrow-raise, a little longer than necessary stare, that attention grabber thing. i t can vary for different people- looks for some, confidence for others, while thoughts to others.  If it lasts it becomes -  Liking,  which can further hike up to that love standard. It has major parts to do with face value and less of, to do with habits.  If a person likes the habits too, congrats the attraction has elevated to the next level.   "It can be thought of as a starting line, a person could turn back after a while or trace the complete path."  LIKE: A person can like a lot of things, sometimes the most random things about another person.
