Let us Love Ourselves

Before starting this blog, I want to ask you a question:  "Have you ever cried in your life?" I don’t want a simple "yes" or "no" answer—I’m asking this especially to men because, in our society, men are taught not to cry but to win. Today, I want to talk about how wrong this mentality is. I’ve seen the men around me—whether my brothers, male friends, or even someone’s father—suffer in silence, with no one truly caring about their mental health. Why is crying considered a weakness for men? Why are they expected to bottle up their emotions? It’s time we challenge these outdated norms and acknowledge that everyone, regardless of gender, deserves to express their feelings freely. Let’s start the conversation. Problem: Why Men Suffer Silently? From childhood, boys are told,  " Don’t cry—be strong!" as if tears are a sign of failure. Society teaches men to swallow their pain, to "man up," and to never show vulnerability. But what happens w...

We often get so engrossed in our day-to-day lives that we forget who we are. When we are alone, we hate being alone; when we are with someone, we crave at least 30 minutes for ourselves.  And even if we get some time, we waste it by scrolling our feed endlessly and then wonder why we behave a certain way.  In today's time, we all want a perfect and easy-to-do diet plan to get in shape, but have you ever thought about making and following a mental diet plan? What exactly is a mental diet plan?  A mental diet is the deliberate control over what thoughts and information you bring into your mind, just as you would manage your food intake. It is a process of excluding negative or hurtful thoughts and actively choosing positive, encouraging, and inspiring ones. It's a matter of feeding your mind thoughts that create wellness and constructive change. I know this can be when you are dealing with outside circumstances that may not be in your favor. But think for a moment how much ...

How often do you pass remarks casually to someone jokingly or just passing by? It happens all the time, right?  Have you ever considered how those words would make the other person feel? Probably not. The worst part? We don't make these casual, often harsh statements to strangers. Instead, we say them to those we claim to love and care about: our parents, siblings, spouse, friends, in-laws, or children. However, we rarely pause to consider whether our comments have harmed someone. We think we are just joking, but we never realize that the other person might take it seriously and feel deeply hurt. Sometimes, a simple remark can be enough to make someone feel “worthless,” “useless,” or “unlovable.” Its their problem, they took it personally! You might dismiss their feelings by saying, "if they are crying over silly things, its their problem." Yes, it is their problem! But as someone who cares for them, dont you think you should not have said what you felt?  Most  people...

Dear Readers, You have all been a part of my life since 2020, and I am so grateful to each and every one of you for being a constant reader.  I initially started this blog in 2020 when there was a pandemic, and I had nothing to do. But since I was so engrossed in personal development and self-love, I finally thought to put my thoughts into writing, and that's how, today, I became a Content Writer. I am thrilled to share some wonderful news with you all. In our journey towards self-love and personal growth, communication and understanding are key. To further enrich our community and make our discussions more accessible, I have launched a YouTube channel where we delve into the same empowering topics we explore here. I honestly never thought of opening a YouTube channel because I have always been a shy and introverted girl who never had many friends nor participated in any co-curricular activity. But as they say, God always has beautiful plans for you, so here I am.  What To Exp...

Whenever anyone says to others that they are single or living alone or like going on solo dates, they are often remarked by people, saying "alone leads to loneliness." While it's understandable that people give us advice for our benefit, if we are alone, we may end up going into depression because of having no social connections. But this blog post is not about setting aside everything and isolating yourself. Nor is it about keeping yourself busy and chasing people so you don't end up alone, even if you have to stay in a toxic marriage. I am here to tell you that being alone can help you on your self-love journey, make you a better human, and heal your uncovered wounds so that you can make better connections with the people around you. Once you know the difference between living alone and loneliness, you'll automatically make better decisions for yourself in all aspects of life. So, are you ready to dive deep into these terms to gain a better understanding? Let...
