Provoke Your Inner Being

“You are what you do, not what you say you’ll do.” – Carl Jung

No matter how perfect your life appears to be outside the brink of your icy sculpture, how happy you seem to others, or even to your own self, your journey to the realization of life never ends. Learn Learn, and Learn the concept of life, and the concept of your existence.

Life is not a bed of roses for anyone. Not you, not them, not even your favourite celebrity you follow every day on Instagram. The first step, we take towards making it easier or at least comfortable is by connecting with ourselves. Provoke your inner being by choosing what you want to become. Carl Jung and his quotes in the video below awestruckly opens a new perspective of life for you. If you always felt disconnected from yourself, it will definitely take you to new places. Take the first step. Let’s do it together.

Let’s unlearn the things that don’t serve us anymore. Let’s live beyond the cliche. Nothing’s more beautiful than connecting to the core essence of your soul. Let me know what you think about it.

Love yourself

Peace.

Life; A Hard Nut to Crack

What’s life for you?

Whenever I come to a point where I realize, now I got it, everything makes sense now, hey buckle up, I tell myself, the time of fruition is here.. guess what??

Things go down a rabbit hole!

Are you surprised? I ask myself Nup!

Life will be too boring if I’d already figure that all out.

Every day is a new step, learning stuff I haven’t ever thought about. The things I like, the passions I have, the people I know all are emerging, and yet in a fascinating way. My soul is uncovering little facets of life, it literally speaks to me. I have a direction now. What can be beautifuler than that? ( Oh please, now don’t say it’s not even a word)

Life’s a hard nut to crack. Formerly, I have been hoping to seek answers from others, no wonder I never got anywhere. This time I sought them from deep down inside, and what amazed me is that, I’m actually getting a response. Mesmerizing right?

I find joy in things, the little things that I overlooked before. I learned to see the real side of myself and others. I was trapped inside myself for years.. that could be suffocating for anyone, right? Always wondering what’s actually happening… why things are not working out… why people are so mean… and how can I let them get the best of me…

In the chaos of these mysteries, things went awry for sure. But after all those hardships, what I got is the power of self-awareness. I’m amazed by the process. How only changing the perspective is taking me to so many wonderful places. Pretty comfort that I’ve been looking for from outside, all my life, was just within my hand’s reach. It’s peaceful and beautiful.

Do I make sense right now? It’s okay even if I don’t.

Peace

xoxo

Evolution is Beautiful!

 

People who has figured it out all… are they even real??

We don’t know what our lives are gonna get after few years, in my case after few days. I am always at the verge of change. Life is too short. There are too many things i want to try and explore. Too many challenges I need to overcome. My life is not simple neither am I. But whose is?

Few months back, I felt as if I had lost the track and couldn’t make any sense of anything. But I tried to look for directions anyways, because giving up was never an option. God never let me do it, so how could I have done that to myself.. If i have been able to survive so far, then I sure can overcome more, than i can ever imagine. We never get what we want handed on a plate, but baby steps eventually helps us through. I may have been late, but I’m so glad i didn’t let myself keep standing where I started my journey from.

 

 

It’s amazing how time can contribute so much in our evolution. I am walking on a road where every now and then people throw stones at me and try to cut away my wings. But how could I stop…

When I exactly know that this is the only way out. The only path that could take me to the very place where I might meet myself one day!

I am the girl…

I am the girl who is smart, beautiful, intelligent. I am also the girl who is lazy, ugly and dumb as hell.

I am the girl who thinks she’s not good enough. I am also the girl who thinks she’s perfect the way she is.

I am the world’s most sensitive girl. I am also the girl who cease to feel anything at times.

I am the girl who thinks she is not capable enough. I am also the girl who believes she is born to do great things.

I am the girl, who couldn’t value her worth. I am also the girl who respects herself enough to walk away from anything that makes her feel any less of her.

I am the girl who has been strong for a long long time. I am also the girl who has lost it every other second.

I am the girl whom people has hurt and discouraged drizzilion times. I am also the girl who didn’t gave up and stoop up every time.

I am the girl who is in love with the idea of love. I am also the girl who hates the idea of getting attached to anything possible.

I am the girl who believes strongly in her happily ever after. I am also the girl who’s scared to death she might end up having nothing at all.

I am the girl who can starve for days in a row. I am also the girl who couldn’t stop eating all day.

Its all about the doors you opened and the ones you didn’t

Every thought we have, every decision we make shapes up how our lives are gonna get. It’s up to us to either linger somewhere stagnant and deadly or move to someplace vigorous and flourishing.

“The doors we open and close each day decides the lives we live.” – Flora Whittemore

Anything that affects you has a control over you, it could either be a thing, a person, an opportunity or a situation you’re dealing with etc. As they say, the things you allow are the things that will continue.. It’s basically you, who give them/it the permission to either flourish you or destroy you. So if anything bad happens to you, its nobody’s but your fault, because it was you who practically handed them with the axe to hit you. Thus don’t be naive, learn from the mistakes; not only from the ones you make but also from the others’.

Picking up from the experience I have realized that there’s no situation in the world that we can’t solve by ourselves. If one door closes to us, then may be its for the best and there is always, always an another door that’s has been awaiting for us to walk through. We’re never completely trapped, it can’t be, it’s just a temporary state of mind.

Live with Purpose

Everyday, we’re given a chance by God to live a better today than yesterday and create an better and beautiful tomorrow than today. Yes, past gave us a lot to ponder upon, but if its named as past, then its called it for a reason right?

You only live once, i used to say… but no that’s wrong, you live everyday, you die only once!!

Live with a purpose then; create short term goals, say weekly or monthly, and work hard each day of it to achieve those goals, you might not get it on your first shot, might not on your second shot too, but eventually on some day, in some part of the week of some month, you’ll finally make it happen. But just don’t give up, it’s not an option anymore, because if you gave up today, it’ll haunt you forever, and you’ll end up doubting yourself for the rest of your life.

Common mistakes in Ramadan

 

Some of the common mistakes we need to watch out in the holy month of Ramadan:

1. Drinking “rooh afza” on a daily basis🍹

– Why: It contains high amounts of sugar, additives and colarants
– Solution: If you have to, drink ittwice a week maximum

2. Drinking large amounts of water at iftaar time

– Why: Filling the stomach with water is more strenuous to it than with food.
– Solution: have a few sips at iftaar then a glass after every two hours.

3. Exercising directly after iftaar.

– Why: the body’s blood flow is concentrated around the stomach at that time.
– Solution: Exercise after two hours of eating to ease digestion.

4. Chewing and swallowing food fast.

– Why: chewing food slowly can speed up digestion and help maintain your weight

5. Having dessert directly after iftaar

– Why: they make you drowsy and sleepy 😴
– Solution: leave at least a two hour gap between iftaar and dessert to stay fresh and awake for ishaa and taraweeh prayers

6. Consuming foods with high amounts of sodium

“And falling’s just another way to fly.” ― Emilie Autumn

“Sometimes the hardest part of the journey is believing you’re worthy of the trip.”
― Glenn Beck, The Christmas Sweater

When life hits you hard, leaving you in no position to take stand or even think straight..

When life tells you that you have been doing it all wrong the whole time..

When life manifests you that its not free of cost, you took it for granted and now its time that you make efforts to earn it..!

When you have been tormented in every possible human way, losing the right path over and over and over again..

When things become all cloudy and gloomy and you can’t seem to breathe, see or feel anything..

When you loose confidence in your own self, devalue your own existence, question every inch of your dignity, put yourself at the least of your priorities..

When the darkest of dark hits your soul, when the deepest of pains are felt in the core of your heart..

It’s then, in that very moment, that you start to realize what you have been missing out all along. The eye opening phase occurs, because you lost or were about to loose everything including yourself. Its often said that we don’t understand the value of something unless its about to be taken away from us or when we already have lost it. The damage makes us realize the wrongs and mistakes we did and which took us to the end side of the hill.

Nobody’s princess anymore…

When you left, my life turned upside down, as if you took away all the good things from my life. Life is always beautiful from the outside, like a twinkling star; giving out beauty to the outer world but burning from deep inside.

 

 

It is often said that happy moments help you endure the hardships of life, but sometimes it does the opposite. Sometimes it makes the bitterness of life even more stinging, bringing with it all the feelings you went through earlier at that time and turning into a reminder that you can’t live that part ever ever again.

The emptiness in my life is a constant reminder that you left!

The girl who grew up as a princess, misses her king. She misses being pampered, spoiled, loved, and prioritized always. She misses enjoying the privilege of favoritism. She misses her father!

Small gestures, big impact

We can never know what other people are going through. The terror, sadness, anger, grief, pain and many other emotions are masked perfectly behind the smiles they carry everyday around the ones they know and those that they don’t. How can we begin to imagine the kinds of lives everyone is living in, everybody has got its own hell to suffer. Its not perfect for anyone.

Since everybody is miserable in one or another way, wouldn’t it be nice to share some love? spread happiness, share smiles? lower the burden of sadness from the shoulders of others for at least a couple of minutes? Well it will never cease to amaze you how wonderful it feels when a smile on a stranger’s face shows up just because of a small gesture of kindness made from your side.

Aftershocks of calamities : Eating disorders?

During times of crisis, we often react differently. Things we really don’t care about affecting us at that time, creates a huge difference in our lives. Continuous episodes of worry and lonesome often occurs and leads to anxiety, stress, depression and in some cases eating disorders.

Eating disorders have become one of the serious concerns in most of the countries. Most of the people suffering from it doesn’t even comprehend that this issue needs to be addressed on a very serious note. Eating disorders like Anorexia nervosa, Bulimia nervosa, Binge eating disorder, and OSFED etc. happens then and without even realizing it, there we are, captured by something really stupid and lethal.

Some features of eating disorders

Anorexia nervosa

• Distorted body image and obsessive fear of gaining weight.
• Extremely limited food intake and/ or increased levels of exercise.
• Can lead to a dangerously low body weight, malnutrition and starvation.

Bulimia nervosa

• Often starts with dieting to lose weight.
• Binge eating followed by vomiting, fasting, overexercising, or using laxatives/diuretics as a means of purging.
• The binge/purge/exercise cycle can become increasingly compulsive and uncontrollable over time.

I opened two gifts this morning. They were my eyes.

We never realize what we have until the very thing is taken away from us. If we look around, everything we see, feel, smell, sense, touch are parts of the blessings in our lives. I have had never thought that these little things could be of so much worth, in fact i never even gave them a single thought until last year.

Last year changed many things in my life, i became more grateful but learning this lesson cost me way too much, I almost lost track on my way to sanity.

When Allah grant us without counting, we often forget to value those things which people in other parts of the world are struggling for survival. I have had a medical condition last year, it was scary and required a lot of patience on my part, but of course i have never been good at it. Everything was locked on the outside and it appeared as if i have had to live in some other part of the world for a seemingly quite a long period of time.

Life became difficult, while wanting to become more independent, things flipped over and instead i have had to depend even more on others. For some people this treatment was not that big of a deal, I envied those who recovered much earlier, even faster than expected, but it took me a while to come back to my senses again and resume my daily routine. Although it looked like everything is burned in my former world when i came back to life, i still had life that i thought. i think that’s enough. We can always start over right?

Everything happens for the best.

My eyes and I have been best friends ever since. Having an eye operate, waking up with the fear everyday if it worked or not, will it work or not?, if i’ll get through it, if i am even strong enough to survive, and even after following all the precautionary acts and still feeling sick, just took all of my attention.

Things will find its way…eventually!

Life has been showing me various kinds of colours, some of which are pretty cool, refreshing and attractive; making me see the world differently; captivating me in its charm, luring & bewitching me to every kind of possibility out there, but ironically on the other hand its doing exactly the opposite. With beauty and glamour also came the darkest
of all, the elements of horror and misery. It made me shiver, scared, confused, tired and anxious. I happened to see the facets of life where there is no array of light, no pats of comfort on my back, no sign of peace anywhere close, no traces of hope but instead only a dark tunnel which seems to trap me so ruggedly that no matter how much i try, i just cant’t get rid of it.

Bliss comes only after so many challenges.

Have i lost myself? or have i found myself even better? Is it for the betterment or is it some kind of life lessons that i need to be taught? happened to be the questions that i ask myself everyday, every single day. There has been a tremendous amount of confusion of what should be and what should not. I wonder why.. When did life become so confusing? Now this is called complicated!
