What to Say When Conversations Turn Negative?

We all have at least one person in our lives who are a human-version of migraine. We know them. Perhaps they live with us, work with us or even hang out with us. All they do is complain, criticise, vent and blame. These kinds of people look at the world in a very different way than ordinary people: cynically. Are you tired of dealing with them? You surely must have. Unfortunately, it has become a core part of your life, and all you can do about them is to learn to cope with them. You are behoved to be polite, but firm when you are dealing with the negativity just to keep the fine line between you and the person alive. But long gone are those days when you just have to deal with them. Here are some ways on how you can keep at an arm’s distance from them and stay on track. C...

Intentionally Isolating Yourself

  We have all seen those posts on social media, whereby it says, “No internet, no electronics, no wi-fi and no social media for three months and you get 3 million." Perhaps, many of us even wanted to take on this challenge; not because of the HUGE sum of money that comes with it (which is, of course, an advantage), but because we want to isolate ourselves. Isolate ourselves from the big, bad reality. It's not common for you to think like that. Dreaming of yourself to be somewhere in another part of the world, far away from the reality is something I keep thinking of. But have you ever wondered, what makes us believe in such a manner? Is it stress? Depression? Loneliness? Whatever your reason might be, know that there is a significant difference between social isolation ...

The Burnout Generation: Why ‘Adulting’ has become bitterly hard

If you’re a millennial, your brain probably never stops. So does mine. Every time I think that I have got some free time to myself, my to-do list flashes in front of my eyes. That's when I start feeling guilty; I could be at the gym, or doing laundry, or cleaning my apartment. Sigh. For most millennials, it all starts from their high school period. Excellent results to never-ending extracurriculars to internships; it's like we are all tucked in between. Not all of us are the same, and many of you already suffer from mild depression and anxiety, and on top of that, this stress leads to having insomnia. Moreover, this is where it brings us to suffering from millennial burnout. This idea was first hyped up by BuzzFeed writer Anne Helen Peterson in her most shared article. The article...

Learn to Love Your Own Mistakes

We have always wished how we had a time machine so that we could turn back time and beat ourselves up for the mistakes that we have already made. Well, even if we didn’t make the mistakes on our own, we have surely heard our friends saying “If only...” Hang on! Life is all about making mistakes and learning from those mistakes. It's easy to look back with a heart full of regrets, but what’s courageous is shrugging your shoulders and move on. We are all creative thinkers. In that case, what if we told you that instead of sitting back and not willing to make more mistakes, you could celebrate your mistakes? This may sound very weird, but this is also an art. How did your parents handle your mistakes when you were a kid? Or maybe, how do you manage your own mistakes? Perhaps you don't,...

Your Current Situation is Not Your Final Destination

Do you believe that everything is temporary? While we wholeheartedly enjoy the good times, when bad times rise, time seems to stop. However, whether you think it's bad or good news, either way, nothing lasts forever. Hence, instead of beating yourself up for feeling a certain way, know that it’s just a mere feeling. Feelings always come and go. You might be sad, depressed or even angry right now, what if we told you that tomorrow’s going to be a happy and joyful day? Take a deep breath and learn to be in the moment. With this goal in mind, consider the tips that we have listed below and start living your life in the present:   Remove Unneeded Things Minimalism is the key, but what exactly is minimalism? In short, it's the art of living with fewer possessions while ...

Mental Habits That Will Never Let You Down

Fear, anger, sadness and joy are all very powerful human emotions. Removing all such feelings from our mundane daily routine is difficult. And mixing all these emotions could lead to nothing but bad decisions. For some of you, it's a complete nightmare to inhibit the ability to make rational decisions. When you finally come out of your emotion, the situation may have gotten worse than before. Feelings are natural, and at times you really need to express them. However, you need to know how to manage your emotions. This is where emotional intelligence comes in. Mental health is no joke, and not taking it seriously can have a significant effect on your performance (at work and in personal life). Even if things are turbulent at present and your anxiety is smacking on you, know that you w...

Reasons Why You Should Always Put Yourself First

We have all been there: forgetting to put ourselves first. But why is that so? Maybe because we have always been taught to be more considerate and affectionate towards others; otherwise it's selfishness. That we should ever think of others and make them happy rather than thinking about our own happiness. One thing that we forget is that we should never exclude the love we have for ourselves while loving others. We can only give others what we have in us. Hence, if we keep exhausting ourselves by giving this positive energy to others, nothing is going to be left for us. Investing in one's own self is equally important as investing in others. So, it’s high time that we learn how we can put ourselves first with also being considerate towards others. There's an art to that. And there ...
