SLAKE AND SATIATE

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 abo...

We can’t just wake up and suspend people in our lives, but we surely can recognize the toxic ones and keep our distance. It’s crucial to be cognizant of the people around us.  1. Dishonest Honesty may not be the best policy always, but it is ideal in most times. There’s no-one worse than a dishonest person who lies frequently. I would place back biters in this category. Back biters are the sophisticated version of dishonest people and are a step ahead. They would lie to your face and talk behind your back.  2.

They are aggressive and lack acceptance. These are people with a fixed mindset of right and wrong, anything which doesn’t fit their idea is already offensive. Rigid people fancy trolling because anytime they see something that they don’t approve of, they become nasty and mean. 3. Dramatic All of us want ...

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.

Drinking a cup of warm beverage, soaking in a warm bath, taking care of our skin, journalizing are just a handful of ways to s...

I fell in love a few days back!  Well, it was for lines that I read. It goes like-       "you are a mirror     if you continue to starve yourself of love               you will only meet people    who"ll starve you too      if you soak yourself in love     the universe will hand you those     who"ll love you too."                   - RUPI KAUR . It is so true and the writer has put it so beautifully in words that I have read this a hell lot of times after the first encounter. I thought the idea was worthy enough and could be talked about in a post. Well, it is not easy to fall in love, indeed we even fear to love ourselves.
