5 key to self-love

-




The last article on my website Should we fall in love focused on falling in love more often.

This is the continuation in the series and emphasizes on what and how's of loving ourselves. Self-love is important to feel worthy, loved, and happy.

So, the five keys to self-love are-


1.Understanding self-love-

Loving oneself does not mean being perfect. The basic idea is to accept ourselves and then focus on improvising. Instead of waiting for another person to love you, better love yourself.


2.Away from toxics-

Before cultivating habits to inculcate self-love, its important we dump habits that are doing bad to us. In a way, it develops the idea that we are important and nothing shall drag us down. It includes avoiding toxic people, eating less junk, not gossiping, etc.


3.Self-care-

Numerous blog posts and youtube videos have been posted in this context. Drinking a cup of warm beverage, soaking in a warm bath, taking care of our skin, journalizing are just a handful of ways to self-care.


4. Leaning to say no, more often-

Yeah, so someone just asked you for coffee or maybe your entire girl gang is going for a movie this weekend, doesn't mean you have to answer "yes". Consider your options and don't end up saying yes to all the experiences or else you might loose on experiences that mattered.


5. Though all the above points are significant, the way to self-love may vary for different people. For some, it may mean taking out more time for oneself for others it may mean ditching toxic people while for others may mean forming new meaningful bonds.

So, WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU? 


Sending lots of love,

Are you bored?

A lot of people were acutely bored during the lockdown and it persists. The pandemic has seized most of our routine activities. Personally, whenever I have felt bore for long, it always leads up to frustration, demotivation, and anger. Hence, that is the last way I want to feel.  It is urgent to understand and eliminate such emotions.   Every emotion that we feel is trying to communicate something to us. Lack of work does increase our chances of feeling bored. But that isn't the only cause. Lack of quality of work that we do is the leading cause of such an emotion. We shall analyze the kind of work we are doing in our field. Quality of work is most important to feel content. Someone who has no objective can never feel content or motivated. It is crucial to have at least one passion and strive in that particular field. If not so, we will always be bored, and lose the idea of time. There are countless opportunities in this digital world. Hence, it is foolish to complain about not hav

Your crush vs your guy.

1. Your crush is probably one of those people who can make you feel the most uncomfortable. He can make your head spin, make you feel weak in your knees, and get you to blush when you don't want to. While your love interest is someone you are the most comfortable around. 2. Even if your crush is a total loser, that won't harm you but an awful lover can stink your life. You can end up placing your crush on a pedestal even though he is an idiot. You would glorify all of his credentials and overlook all his ineptness. 3. A friendly gesture from your crush can leave you awestruck but even though your guy goes miles for you, he can still fail to win you. (the heart wants what it wants). 4. Your love interest seems to be a net flix subscription to you but your crush looks like a membership to the clubhouse. As in the Netflix subscription, you can get easily compared to the inaccessible membership to the clubhouse. 5. Your crush has a very short shelf life, on the other hand, your l

Why so obsessed with beauty?

Why are we so obsessed with our appearances. Does this dimension of our life deserve all that botheration? The race to look the best is doing more harm to women than body hair. This is not to praise the twinkle in our eyes or the glory in our smile, but to make a point that our obsession with beauty is mad-crazy. The way I look at it someone's attractive looks do no good to you. The present beauty standards are undermining, distracting, and destructive. It affects women more, on average women own 40 cosmetics. As long as you are not aspiring to be eye candy or to join show-biz, there is no need to freak so much about your looks. Can we just stop talking about who wore what at the party? Can we breathe and let people be. It is high time that we admire each other for confidence, sass, talent. Let us complement each other on what we do rather than how we look. We have had enough of airport looks, the gym looks, the event looks, behind scene looks, and many more, paparazzi never seems
