New Beginnings ☀️

You wake up every day, cross your hall, walking past empty cups of latte instead of seeing through the souls drinking them; you are driving to your workplace and back, with a taco bell in one hand, ignoring signals and the reds. You find your 9-5 exhausting, soaked into feigned disinterest. It's the winter of 2022, and you are still lost in your excel sheets; crashing deep into the heap of confusion as you daze in and out of the romantic sphere working out why they haven't texted you today while you include yourself in playing one of those pesky mind-games like you are hard to get. You are a part of the naturally shallow generation with a general presumption that 20-somethings aren't looking for love, swiping left through the screens and your feelings. You are constantly toeing the line, acting aloof, and never genuinely expressing your feelings; you continuously need validation while you give up on relationships that aren't achieved by half-heartedness and ambiguity. You are plagued by inconsistency, fear, and hypersensitivity; striving for more than what the culture offers, hating the life you got but,

The true meaning of loving and living through it is the need to live in alignment with the purpose. This purpose could be anything-an artist waiting to be flown in a melancholic something, a sales expert wanting to discover a new path in business, or a workaholic seeking the level of happiness of that of a five-year-old sugar-high kid on a giant fairy wheel. Your purpose might demand you to create a story, fearless and imperfect, woven out of uneven fragments; or to interpret the ways of the universe falling into a loop. We are so glued to the concept of materialism that, in the process, we don't realize that the end purpose of everything we do doesn't always have to be about numbers.

Thanks to the reality of modern 24/7 communication- we are subjected to a world full of ruthless competition. With all the Instagram reach and Twitter reactions, we are constantly reminded that we aren't doing enough. We fail to look through the years of unrewarded hardships and harsh work realities underlying the success of many media profiles. We jump over to the conclusion, directly connecting us to the ground of failure. While devices and laptops make it psychologically exhausting for us to plan our lives strategically, sometimes they do work essentially as a reality check. Spending time on oneself to contemplate these questions about life is crucially an investment in one's well-being. Instead of having a grip on your life, instead of trying to plan the very last aspect of it, give your life that chance to surprise you from time to time. Life isn't always sunny, but it can be a lot more positive when we tend to appreciate it. You are open to doubt, question your life, acknowledge the shortcomings, and still love it beyond everything. 

Cathartic Calling

To the future me, 

As much as I know you, and I'd like to think I know you quite a bit, you'll probably be seeing this letter well into the year -- Once you've come back to being the old, frustrated, annoyed, and stressed out you; once you've lived out the phase where you enjoyed social interactions and meeting friends. After all, it's you. One year of being deprived of the anxious, socially awkward uneventful days of your life won't make you fall in love with them instantly. But I want you to know a few things before you hate yourself for the rest of the year. Instead of trying to be a part of the seemingly fun and happening groups around you, remind yourself of the people who constantly checked on you during the lockdown and spend time with them. Before you overwork yourself or chew your nails out of nervousness, remember to BREATHE. After all, it's the only thing you have been doing the past year.😁 AND, YOU'RE NOT BEING VAIN BY CARING FOR YOURSELF AND THINKING OF YOURSELF FIRST, AT TIMES.

P.S Have more cake 🍰

For you, With you - Resources to Help You

NEW WAYS FOR THE NEW YOU!

1. HOW TO RESOLVE CONFLICT OF INTEREST BETWEEN TWO INDIVIDUALS- It's often tiring when you end up in a heated argument due to a conflict of interest. Let's try resolving the conflict by practising new techniques for maintaining better relationships with people. Whenever we engage in a conversation with clashing views, we try to convince the other person to accept our point of view and try to dominate the argument. The other person is most likely to think the same, leading to a heated argument. In this situation, we should use "Conversation Receptiveness" in our language. This concept involves language and gestures that signal that we are genuinely interested in the other person's perspective. Avoid checking your phone or repeatedly watching, nod your head to show acceptance, and try not to lean back as it indicates a feeling of dislike and negativity. Try mirroring the hand expressions of the other person as it shows that you agree with them.
2. FOLLOW 20/20/20 FORMULA FOR A BETTER START OF YOUR DAY- divide the first hour of your day into three sets of 20 minutes each. 

• MOVE- during the first 20 minutes, exercise and sweat as much as possible. This will boost your brain by circulating more blood and help you think faster. 
• REFLECT- sit in complete solitude and reflect for the next 20 minutes. Try thinking about what matters to you the most and give time for connecting with your inner self.
• GROW- invest the last 20 minutes of your hour in learning something new or exploring your hobbies. Learning and exploring are great ways to grow and experiment with everyday life.

3. NEED HAND WITH BUDGETING?- Set your goal to save some money at the end of the month. Assign at least 20% of your money to emergency funds and pay debts. Keep 30% of your money for shopping or entertainment purposes. Try setting up a limit for your daily expenditure, as it will keep your spending in control. Categorise your needs and wants as it will help to set your priorities straight. 

4. "CAPTURING 30 DAYS" CAN HELP YOU COPE UP WITH YOURSELF- a constant state of feeling sad, demotivated, and low on self-esteem is not a new concept for us anymore. It's essential to cope with these feelings because they only pave the way for self deterioration. Try capturing 30 days of your life with your friends! It doesn't matter if the pictures are dull or have no clarity; they should define your day and, most importantly you. There will be days when you won't feel satisfied with the picture, but you will feel different about it in the end. After 30 days, please go through all these pictures with your friends and enjoy the whole process. This will open a new perspective for seeing yourself and make you a better observer. It will also reveal a different side of your friends and strengthen the bond you share.

You Love Us. We Love You. 

Here is a surprise, ALL FOR YOU! ❤️
