Dear readers,
Please accept my heartfelt apology for not writing enough for this space this year, when this is where I have always truly belonged. I promise you will find me here more often now with at least a straight-from-the-heart read, if not necessarily a lesson always.
2025 has been a very different year for me, and I have ventured into territories quite different from my usual self. Nevertheless, everything that happens in life teaches us immensely, and come what may, we must learn to move ahead.
Life is not always a bed of roses; each one of us has his or her up and downs, and there are moments when, despite what we are and what all we do in life, we feel worthless and unhappy. Sometimes our own negative thoughts spiral us down, while sometimes it is the world, even our near and dear ones, who bury us deep, knowingly or unknowingly.
If you ask me,
We ourselves are responsible for our happiness and we must ensure we feel worthy at all points in time.
Never be dependent on others to be happy and to prove your worth because this world is a harsh place; they will break your heart into a million pieces without any regrets more often than not.
To me, our happiness, self-worth, and inner peace are a function of how strongly we have trained our minds. I have lived by it and have often shared this mind therapy with a lot of my friends and students, some of them being housewives, and today I am sharing this simple Mind Therapy with you.
If you are the one who is often hurt by people who cause you mental pain, please teach your brain these 3 simple things and practice them with all your might consciously at the start, soon, the brain will pick up the signals and act on its own, thereby blessing you with a state of perennial peace and happiness.
First of all, learn to ignore
The more you learn to ignore the toxic and disrespectful talks, the happier you will be. Don’t overthink how they said something as harsh as this to you, as it will only enrage you further, stealing away your peace. Just ignore and do not let them steal your peace.
Second be tolerant
Sometimes, the person who insults you or questions your self-worth repetitively might himself be struggling mentally and taking it out on you. Be tolerant with him or her, but don’t let it affect your sanity. Sometimes, to be in such agony in such moments by forgiving that person rather than fighting back is a better solution. Quietly ignore and get busy in what yoy love doing, saving both of your precious time. Withdraw if a similar situation arises in the future. Save your self-worth, choose to be happy; we make this choice every moment. While sulking comes naturally, meditate on being positive and happy always, till this becomes the default state of your mind. Your tolerance may even hurt the narcissist’s ego, and he may silently choose his next target.
The third principle is, be patient.
Over the years, I have learnt to be patient with life. You may have a lot of dreams and may be a genius capable of achieving bigger heights, but sometimes the wait seems endless. Don’t give up, keep doing your hard work with a smile, everything comes to him who waits. Choose the little joys of life, be compassionate, help selflessly, and be patient. Be happy and content. The wait may seem longer, but your time to shine will come. Just lead a life with a purpose and soak in the joy of the little changes you can bring to the world without expecting anything in return. Patience is the key to saving a lot of relations, and it takes time to develop, but a patient person always self-heals and is much stronger at heart.
You must be worthy in your own eyes, and it makes you happy; nothing else matters.
Don’t let the world define your worth or make you sad. Adopt the triple mantra of Patience, Tolerance, and Ignorance and lead a blissful life.
