Why now? Why now?

Do I really have to do this?

Is that what I need?

Can I choose not to?

Will it be safe?

These are some of the questions that may pop for some of you while talking to someone. Opening yourself all out there not only makes you feel vulnerable but scared about safety at times.

The details may contain feelings of hurt and sometimes remind you of memories of the past. However, sometimes it’s a good idea to let it out and empty your bucket. It could be to anyone – your friend, therapist, partner, or family. It’s not necessary to share everything but somethings.

World is a lonely place when there is no one to share your hearts out. Communication is very important and integral to all communities. It is not limited humans but for everyone that exists in nature.

Happy weekend!

Keeping Cool in Angry Times

It seems nearly impossible. I am absolutely with you when you say this… because it is really tough or even impossible. At the same time, you do not want to say something and regret later.

Anger is an emotion that is characterized by antagonism or a strong feeling of being upset or being annoyed because of something wrong or bad.

Anger can be used as a way to express negative feelings or help in focusing and finding solutions. However, excessive anger can be problematic not only physically but psychologically too.

While some of you can manage anger, others who are “hotheaded” experience anger at a higher intensity than average. It could be due to numerous factors such as β€” low tolerance toward frustration, genetic or sociocultural.

So here are 3 ways to help you cool your head when angry:

β€’ Relaxation : simple breathing from your diaphragm. Take a deep breath in – hold – release lungs 🫁, you can pair it with visualization of a calming picture. πŸ–ΌοΈ Here is one for you.

β€’ Restructure your Thoughts : when we are feeling something too intense, logic goes out of the window. But if we think logically it sometimes defeats anger. Try reminding yourself that it could be a rough spot here and shift your perspective. πŸ’­

β€’ Use Humour : as a child you would sometimes burst in laughter when angry. Rage diffuses in a number of ways and one among is silly humor. You can of course find a way to diffuse your own anger. 😸🀭🐢

Now that you know how to do it here is a Pro Tip: Give yourself a break! β˜• A study suggest that taking a break for 5-60 minutes refreshes your brain.

Inside out is an amazing movie to understand about your emotions.

Quotes on Happiness by Ruskin Bond

Ruskin Bond is a renowned contemporary Indian writer of British descent. Famously known for his children’s books. The little green book of happiness is nothing short of a treasure. It’s a keeper and one book which makes you feel better just when you need it. Happiness is as exclusive as your coffee. If you stay and keep at it, it may get easier. Savour those moments, for there is no reverse in the reality.

Here are 5 quotes from the book that I absolutely love-

πŸ’š Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy. – Thich Nhat Hanh

πŸ’š Sometimes there is greater joy in gazing at a mountain than in climbing it.

πŸ’š Don’t let one cloud obliterate the whole sky. – Anais Nin

πŸ’šMoney often costs too much.β€”Ralph Waldo Emerson

πŸ’š Happiness is as exclusive as a butterfly, and you must never pursue it. If you stay very still, it may come and settle on your hand. But only briefly. Savour those moments, for they will not come in your way very often.

First thing in the morning except weekends begins with a shower. Right after we wake up, we hit the washroom and shower.

Here are 5 reasons to let you know that it’s totally worth the effort-

1. Taking a lukewarm shower reduces muscle tension and improves elasticity.

2. Improves and increases blood circulation.

3. Removes the toxins and washes off the sweat, decreases the risk of a number of infections.

4. Improves breathing as an automatic reflex action of taking a cold water shower.

5. May help in reducing stress by reducing cortisol.

And, a brownie point for smelling good and feeling refreshed! If you still doubt all of this here is a study for you!

May this motivates you to shower often! πŸ§–β€β™€οΈπŸ§–β€β™‚οΈ
