When was the last time you checked on yourself? Or when was it that you paid heed to your needs! Well we are sure that you wont even remember when. We have this constant urge to fix the world around us but when it comes to us, we take a step back! We by nature are compassionate beings, being there for our loved ones is something that comes naturally to us. But then why not be there for yourself?
We are so much engrossed in being there for our near and dear ones that we often forget that we need that love and care from ourselves too. Before we know how to be there for yourself, let us understand what it means to be there for yourself.
To be there for yourself means to validate how you feel, giving yourself time to heal and allowing yourself to grow. It means to love yourself no matter the situation and be your own constant companion. To be understanding, kind and compassionate to yourself. How would you treat a friend who you love dearly? Imagine loving yourself in the same manner.
Now that we understand what it means to be there for yourself, let us introduce you to few ways of how you can practice it:
Only when you know yourself, you will be capable of being there for yourself. Become aware of what your strengths and weaknesses are. When you know yourself, you become self confident. You automatically start taking charge of your thoughts and personality.
No matter the situation, remind yourself time and again that you gotta be on your own side. And when we say so, we mean to recognize your values despite of your flaws. To be grateful for what you’ve accomplished and trust yourself for whatever the future holds for you.
Expect nothing less than what you deserve. May it be your job or your relationship make sure you do not settle for anything else. Because only then you shall do justice to what you are worth it. Compromising your value, integrity and pride will only result in you losing yourself. So make sure that you do not compromise
“I am not getting better at this”, “I am bad at this”, and “I am good for nothing”, do you often find yourself in the spiral of such self-doubting thoughts? Well, it might be because you are less patient with yourself. When you are impatient with yourself, you reject yourself, judge yourself and become unkind towards yourself. On the other hand, when you become patient with yourself you start handling yourself well.
It could be adopting a healthy meal, exercising, or anything that contributes to your well-being. A self-care plan enables you to look after yourself efficiently. It not only helps generate positive feelings but also increases your self-esteem. It’s with self-care that you feel better and when you feel better you are automatically there for yourself with increased energy.
Many of us seek approval from the outside world to feel better about themselves. This is indeed a toxic trait as how we feel about ourselves now depends upon other people. Not only is it an exhausting way to lead life but also opposite to being there for yourself. Overcome the need to constantly please others and you are half way there on being on your own side.
Or we would say, take it easy! Aiming to become the best version of yourself isn’t bad but constantly setting high standards for yourself can be unhealthy for your mental health. Especially when the times are tough, we are too hard on ourselves for not being able to cope. Sometimes we put too much pressure on ourselves to be perfect. So we ask you to not be too hard on yourself.
We have grown up listening to this verse. It says that we do not have the right to the fruits of the action we do. We shall only perform; the fructification of actions should never be the motive of your action.Yes, it’s easier said than done. Mostly, our actions (Karmas) are possessed by their res
A theory says that a selfless deed never exists. Strange, right? Well, that is said because even doing selfless deeds give you something—that is JOY! Take a moment to go down your memory lane and think of the last thing you did for someone just out of love and selflessness. Did you acknowledge ho
Overthinking, busy schedules and waiting for weekends pretty much sums up our daily life.We have no time to work on ourselves and our well-being.

Are you wondering why you are single when everyone around you is either getting engaged, married, or having a baby? Do not worry — it’s not just you. If anything can console you, there’s a theory that says the most intelligent ones stay single longer than usual. Now it all makes sense, ain’t
They are highly opinionated. They are fierce. They are confident. They are the upcoming future. “Oh, common bro”, they are Gen Z! Well, yes “BRO” because that’s how they address everyone including friends, strangers, cousins, parents and (hilariously true, but) their partners, too. They ha

When in love, we often get lost in a soul and get carried away. For many of us, happiness and dedication toward our partner become our top priorities. However, while giving all that we have in a relationship, it is essential to remember that other areas of our lives are filled with meaning, happines
“Today was a great day! I completed all my tasks with great productivity.” All of us wish to say this more often. However, instead of feeling motivated, we are overwhelmed with the mountain of work. Staying productive is an ongoing process. It doesn’t happen by accident.
If you have arrived at this blog, there is one thing for sure! You are willing to make efforts for your relationship. And want to build a healthy relationship with your partner. However, before taking those steps, one must understand the meaning of a healthy relationship.
Remember how fun and easy it was to make friends when we were kids? The only thing one had to do was to go to the playing ground or that fun hobby class. All you gotta do is exchange a smile, and the next thing is like you’ve been two non separable beings.
Why am I doing this? What am I doing with life? Am I headed in the right direction? These are questions we often ask ourselves or the experienced people around us. “What is my purpose in life?” is what we want to know? And why do we set ourselves on the path of finding this answer?

Before we even get into the effective ways to make life simpler, we need to accept that at times we do make things complicated for us. Because only when we accept, we’ll be able to work on ourselves. Let’s take an example of a person A, to understand how we complicate our daily lives when the mo
