Live Life Your Way

“You carry so much love in your heart. Give some, to yourself” “Self love" – I have been hearing this a lot from many sources. I was actually fed up with this topic as I felt I was loving myself before, then why should I know more about it or what is there in it to actually learn about it. People say love yourself first and put yourselves on the pedestal instead of others. But I didn’t knew how to do that. I think I wasn’t loving myself as I deserve to be loved. May be I loved the idea of loving myself without truly loving myself. This continued until I truly started loving myself without seeking someone’s validation or approval.  What is Self Love  Self love is a life journey. It is our natural state of being. Many of us think that they love themselves like I thought. But if you love yourself you don’t be lead by people’s opinions, thoughts and feelings.  Is Self Discipline a Form of Self Love Many people get scared ...

We know “How to set healthy boundaries with people” was never taught in our education system although it is the most important part of life for our self worth and wellbeing. It is very crucial to make people understand what you tolerate and what you will not tolerate. Boundaries are important in any kind of relationship: romantic, familial and friendship. So let’s talk all about boundaries in this post.  We were not taught how to take care of ourselves and stand up for ourselves. I was kind of a people pleaser, codependent and a person who didn’t like to say no. I have never knew all these years what a boundary is and how important it is to maintain and enforce boundaries until I had some painful experiences which torn me off. "You are not too nice. You are just too afraid, to say no and honor your boundaries" If you are a people pleaser, you are going to struggle with boundaries because you  don’t want to say no to people. You fear people might think ...

My Secret Lifestyle to Staying Fit People who are close to me know that I am a foodie. I always love exploring new varieties of food, cook something new and mouth watering (although I rarely get time to cook) and not the regular dal chaawal. Although I do not eat much all at once and in large quantities but I eat frequently, a light snack once in 2-3 hours. I was not this kind of foodie before and also not a fitness freak though.  I am slim and fit since my childhood. According to my parents I was very chubby and fat when I was an infant. Obviously, which I do not wish to go back to. Staying fit to me has always been a necessity . I love this way and I am going to do whatever it takes to stay this way. It doesn’t mean I am going to starve myself by avoiding my favorite food cravings. I never believed in creating time tables or charts for my food intake.  It is all about the balance we need to maintain between eating our favorite fo...
