Do you often find yourself saying, "My arms are so fat" or "My legs are unattractive" whenever you look in the mirror?
We often say this and criticize ourselves a lot, often without even realizing it.
What if I told you that the things you think about can actually change how you feel? It might sound strange, but let me explain. Science has proven that how we think can affect how we feel. If you always say mean things to yourself, it can make you feel sad.
But if you think happy thoughts, it can make you feel better.
So if you are telling yourself negative things and wanting to change yourself so that people should start complimenting you, must stop first and start taking positive actions towards your physical health.
Just sitting back, eating junk, making excuses, and resenting the jokes of how people body shame you are not going to take you anywhere. If you really want a change, make the first step now!
Instead of thinking about not being in good shape, what if you went for a walk or danced around? You would be moving your body, making yourself feel good, and having fun in no time!
Isn't that amazing?
Let's dive into more details now!
I vividly remember when I first started going to a large gym. I was shy, lacked confidence, had poor body posture, and constantly compared myself to other women.
One day, my trainer uttered a single line I'll never forget: "If you look good in the mirror, you'll automatically feel good on the inside!" This simple phrase has become an influential motivator on my fitness journey.
Even when I lack the motivation to work out, I recall his words, and they jumpstart my desire to lift weights.
Think about the days when you just came out of a salon after a fresh haircut. Didn't you feel a surge of confidence on the inside?
Now, this doesn't mean you push yourself to an extreme extent, even if your body doesn't allow it, just because you want to look good on the inside.
I want to tell you, "Start loving and accepting your body for what it is now." Only then can you start listening to it and making efforts for it.
Many plus-size influencers have a heightened confidence because they love themselves and their bodies. They know they have a larger body than others because of many health complications, yet they don't criticize themselves. Instead, they either work on getting fit (if possible) or show the world their bare skin without any shyness.
Some days, when we are full of energy, happy, and vibrant, we say, "Life is amazing."
But other days, when we are sad, lonely, and fearful, we curse our lives and our whole journey.
Some experiences can be good, while others can be bad, but they are all based on how we view any situation. Thus, our life experiences are based on thoughts and feelings.
How we think about ourselves and the world can change how we go through life. The good news is that we can make good things happen by thinking happy thoughts and controlling our feelings.
So today, let's explore some ways through which we can cultivate some inner peace and happiness independent of external circumstances.
Do you feel that outside circumstances or events control how you think and feel? It may be true! But not every time!
If you are feeling sad, depressed, or bored, you cannot always put it to someone else. You cannot always blame the situations in your life unless you are willing to take responsibility.
Ever heard someone always complaining about their health, relationships, finances, job, boss, or career? Do you want to be with that person? No right! Every time they come to you or call you to talk about their sad events, you wish they cut the phone soon so you don't have to listen to their bullshit or the same repetitive story.
But do you realize you have become the same person unconsciously in the eyes of the universe?
Why would the universe give you peace, love, abundance, joy, and happiness if you are always playing the victim card?
The knowledge the universe holds, you have the same. All you need to do is search for it by going within!
It's time you stop letting outside circumstances paralyze you by always absorbing you into fight or flight mode. It's time you own your power and make your present moment a happy and joyous one.
Let's dive in to learn how.
Let's talk facts! Life throws us curveballs. Friends change, relationships get broken, jobs come and go, and the weather may or may not cooperate with you. But how long can you make your happiness dependent on these factors? The Supreme God has given you this life, and therefore, it is your responsibility to live it fully and enjoyably.
How? Here's what you need to know:
1. Count your blessings: It's so easy to get caught up in what we lack. Begin each day by expressing gratitude for three things, no matter how minor. A beautiful morning, a steaming cup of coffee, or a good laugh with a friend—every little thing matters. By focusing on the positive aspects of life, this practice helps you recognize all the good things that already exist in it.
2. Be in the present moment: It's so easy to overthink and so difficult to stay in the present and embrace what we have. But it is time to make it simple, too. By practicing mindfulness, we can better ground ourselves in the here and now and enjoy the small pleasures in life, such as the flavor of food, the sound of birds chirping, and the warmth of the sun on our skin. Try quick meditation sessions or go for attentive walks while focusing on your senses and clearing your mind of any distracting ideas.
3. Being kind brings back to you: It's a boomerang effect! You can feel happier and more purposeful if you give of your time, provide a helping hand to a neighbor, or send a nice message. You develop happy feelings and build your ties to the community by putting other people's welfare first.
4. Engage yourself in playful activities: How long do you want to remain sad, upset, or anxious about the things that are not in your control? Get in touch with your playful side again! Take up something you really enjoy doing, like dancing, drawing, playing an instrument, or just curling up with a nice book. Engaging in enjoyable and satisfying activities allows you to de-stress and connect with your inner source of happiness naturally.
5. Move your body: Working out improves mood in addition to physical training! Engaging in physical activity releases endorphins, which are naturally occurring chemicals that elevate mood. This might range from a stroll through nature to a lively dance session in your living room. Establish a habit of regularly engaging in an enjoyable activity. Little actions have a great potential to change a lot!
6. Eat healthy food: Your emotions are influenced by your diet and self-care practices. Make nourishing, healthy eating choices that will nourish your body and mind. Make self-care routines like relaxation exercises and time spent in nature a priority. Get adequate sleep to rejuvenate. Taking care of yourself lays the groundwork for happier living.
Since childhood, I have been inclined to follow my religion and my religious beliefs. The belief is that reciting God's name and telling him your problems solves all your problems.
While seeing other children of my age depending on their fathers to help them with all sorts of tasks, I couldn't, and this used to hurt me a lot.
But I always used to pray to God, and he did help me by giving me courage, hope, and strength.
Although you may have your own beliefs about religion, whatever they are, I am sure we have all experienced the magic of God in our lives.
So, let's relive that magic and learn how surrendering to God can cure all our problems by giving us the strength to fight with them.
Have you ever been in a situation where you asked someone to do something for you, and they refused, giving you some lame excuse?
And after some time, do you see them doing the same thing for someone else?
Did that hurt you? Did you question your self-worth after that?
Well, what if I told you it was never your fault if they never realized the value of a diamond?
Okay, let me explain this with an example!
Imagine spending hours making a delicious homemade pizza for your best friend, only to have them reject it in exchange for a classy takeaway meal with their new friends. Yes, that hurts. But consider this: what matters are their choices and taste buds, not the pizza (or the effort). It's acceptable that various things appeal to different people.
Relationships are the same.
No matter how much you give, sometimes others won't value it equally. They may not feel the same connection because they are busy, have different priorities, or have other reasons. What was the most challenging part? You are not to blame! Just as your friend may prefer sushi to pizza, their emotional choices should not make you feel inadequate.
So, what can you do? And how can you make yourself better?
Let's explore that in today's blog post!
You attract what you are! So be great if you want to attract great!
This quote does not say it is your fault if someone ditches you or hurts you; it means that only you are responsible for the life you experience. If you want love, peace, and happiness around you, you need to stop letting the doors of your heart open for just anyone and be firm in your boundaries.
Know that one has to earn your time, love, and respect, and if someone's behavior or action hurts you, here's what you can do to get out of that victim mode:
1. Acknowledge your feelings: It is okay to be sad. Accept that what and how you want things to be are different. Do whatever you want to do to acknowledge those feelings. Cry, talk to a friend, and do emotional eating. But put a time limit on your period of indulgence. This is a stopover, not a place to live permanently.
2. Surround yourself with loving people: Even if you don't have anyone who understands you or is on your bad terms, there is always someone on your contact list or social media. Recall all the fantastic people in your life who genuinely admire and respect your amazingness and effort. They are equivalent to your pineapple to your jalapeno and your mozzarella to your pepperoni. Embrace this beautiful human community that helps you feel like the unique, delectable pizza that you are.
3. Invest time in yourself: Put your energy into what makes you happy rather than where it's unnecessary. Take up a new hobby, finish a project you've been meaning to, or spend time with friends who make you feel good about yourself. You're an entire pizza place waiting to be discovered, not just a piece!
4. Redefine your self-worth: Don't allow the opinions of others to determine your value. Take a moment to acknowledge and enhance the unique flavors that set you apart. Accept your uniqueness, your flaws, and your strengths. You are the prize, and anybody would be lucky to have you!
Have you ever felt like you needed a best friend to give you a pep talk to get into a meeting? Or that date you've been fantasizing about has suddenly made your confidence crumble like a sandcastle in the flood. If so, you're not alone. It's in our wiring to want approval, especially from the people we care about.
However, what happens if that need turns into a leash that drags us down from our own joy and inner strength?
Imagine a world without a flashing neon sign controlling your happiness that someone else holds, like a remote control. One where your self-acceptance fuels your confidence like a constant beacon. That's what inner child reawakening is all about.
You must know how to validate your emotions and feelings and not the rest of the world.
We have learned to seek approval from others all our lives, but never did anyone realize its impact on our adulthood and relationships.
If someone becomes very dependent on their partner in a relationship, this is because when they were children, their parents never soothed them. Hence, that young child suppressed their feelings.
Therefore, if you are single or in a relationship, you need to reconnect to your inner child and heal your childhood wounds.
Yes, it can be difficult, but not impossible.
After learning about why is it necessary to go on an inner child journey in the previous post, let's learn about some ways through which we can reconnect to the child inside us.
Let's get started!
It's easy to forget about the child living inside us who is vulnerable and too small in the hustle and bustle of adulthood.
When we were young, we wanted to get older soon to enjoy night outs, do parties, earn money, and settle into life. Now, if we could revisit our childhood, most would say yes! Isn't it?
As we age, responsibilities, obstacles, and societal expectations can lead us to assume that we've outgrown our inner child.
But recognizing it and healing its wounds is essential to healing ourselves and improving our journey through life.
Let's dive in and explore the significance of reestablishing a connection with your inner child and providing a route to self-love, healing, and stronger self-assurance.

2. Surround yourself with loving people: Even if you don't have anyone who understands you or is on your bad terms, there is always someone on your contact list or social media. Recall all the fantastic people in your life who genuinely admire and respect your amazingness and effort. They are equivalent to your pineapple to your jalapeno and your mozzarella to your pepperoni. Embrace this beautiful human community that helps you feel like the unique, delectable pizza that you are.
3. Invest time in yourself: Put your energy into what makes you happy rather than where it's unnecessary. Take up a new hobby, finish a project you've been meaning to, or spend time with friends who make you feel good about yourself. You're an entire pizza place waiting to be discovered, not just a piece!
4. Redefine your self-worth: Don't allow the opinions of others to determine your value. Take a moment to acknowledge and enhance the unique flavors that set you apart. Accept your uniqueness, your flaws, and your strengths. You are the prize, and anybody would be lucky to have you!
Have you ever felt like you needed a best friend to give you a pep talk to get into a meeting? Or that date you've been fantasizing about has suddenly made your confidence crumble like a sandcastle in the flood. If so, you're not alone. It's in our wiring to want approval, especially from the people we care about.
However, what happens if that need turns into a leash that drags us down from our own joy and inner strength?
Imagine a world without a flashing neon sign controlling your happiness that someone else holds, like a remote control. One where your self-acceptance fuels your confidence like a constant beacon. That's what inner child reawakening is all about.
You must know how to validate your emotions and feelings and not the rest of the world.
We have learned to seek approval from others all our lives, but never did anyone realize its impact on our adulthood and relationships.
If someone becomes very dependent on their partner in a relationship, this is because when they were children, their parents never soothed them. Hence, that young child suppressed their feelings.
Therefore, if you are single or in a relationship, you need to reconnect to your inner child and heal your childhood wounds.
Yes, it can be difficult, but not impossible.
After learning about why is it necessary to go on an inner child journey in the previous post, let's learn about some ways through which we can reconnect to the child inside us.
Let's get started!
It's easy to forget about the child living inside us who is vulnerable and too small in the hustle and bustle of adulthood.
When we were young, we wanted to get older soon to enjoy night outs, do parties, earn money, and settle into life. Now, if we could revisit our childhood, most would say yes! Isn't it?
As we age, responsibilities, obstacles, and societal expectations can lead us to assume that we've outgrown our inner child.
But recognizing it and healing its wounds is essential to healing ourselves and improving our journey through life.
Let's dive in and explore the significance of reestablishing a connection with your inner child and providing a route to self-love, healing, and stronger self-assurance.
