The Best Romance!
In these gloomy times, where everyone is ready to pull the others apart, being kind is one of the bravest traits. Sympathy, empathy, kindness, and helpfulness are lost causes in today's scenarios..so, the best way to sustain in life is self-help. Self-help is basically what we do to carry ourselves gracefully through life without expecting any support from others as eventually, the romance we have with ourselves is the one that will last. But, how do we care for ourselves?
1) Let go of the judgments: People will judge you for any and every decision you make..be it related to your lifestyle, related to your clothes, related to your choice of career, related to the achievements..just make sure that these judgments do not hurt you in any way. Just assume that people have nothing better to do, so they have a problem with whatever you do..just let it go. Also, make sure to not judge people yourself as it would be a waste of time and nothing else.
2) Love your body: thin, fat, tall, short, fair, dark are all just words..they do not describe what you are and what is your worth..so be kind to yourself and love your body as it is. Also, if you feel that you need to make it better, do it in a way that makes you feel positive about it. Anyway, it is the person who you are inside that matters..the body you have is in a state of constant change.
3) Relax: Romanticizing overworking is the biggest toxic trait a person can have..because overworking does nothing for your mind and body except tiring them off. Make sure to relax in between work and finish work on time in order to spend more time with yourself and your family. You can take up activities like yoga or meditation to relax on a daily basis.
4) Asking for help: If you feel that you need help to maintain your mental health, ask for it. If you feel that you need to maintain your mental balance then refer to a therapist (https://www.unicef.org/protection/mental-health-psychosocial-support-in-emergencies) or if you need some professional to solve your marital issues, you can surely refer to a marriage counselor. (I know it's difficult, but you can always refer to online couple counseling India (https://mindvoyage.in/couple-counselling))
5) Remove the toxic people from your life: Sometimes, people bring unsolicited toxicity in your life by their general behavior or judgemental thoughts..even if you love these people dearly, getting rid of them is of utmost importance as they do nothing but spread negativity in your life. Remember, positive people would always be a cheerleader for you.
6) Putting yourself first: Do not rely for happiness on anyone..be it your parents, your spouse, your children, or your siblings..at the end of the day, only you know what really makes you happy..so, go ahead and enjoy your own company as much as you can.
These traits are really important to inculcate in life as they are the ones that help you to suffer through the struggles of your life..as the love you have for yourself is the best kind of love...SELF LOVE!
