Dear Zindagi ( Life ) I Love You



Have you ever woken up in a day of your life and asked yourself, do you want to be the HERO of your own life? Honestly I would be happy if your answer is a YES. Mine was a huge YES this morning. 

I told myself, I had enough of living a fake life, putting on a fake smile and I was even told that I am so good in giving excuses and have ready-made answers for everything.


At times, you have to ask yourself the most toughest question? If you are lucky you will get a truthful answer from the bottom of your heart. When you get that answer, trust me you will want to do things for yourself and yourself only. It wasn't the world, people around me or the spouse that had me pinned to the ground. It was me the whole time. 


I am where I am today because of me and my actions entirely. I blame no one but myself for this. My very good friend's mother told me....you have made you fair share of mistakes too my sweet girl. No one is perfect, now build yourself and and don't make the same mistakes of the past. I only then knew I wasn't perfect. I am still not perfect. I am just my mummy's little girl and a human.


I want to share with you guys the few episodes of my life, but I am moving on and I really don't want to be ranting negative things and end up sounding so whinny. Let's skip that and let me tell you some changes one should cultivate to enjoy "zindagi" which means life.


This is going to be a long long post, grab something to sip/munch on folks. I just want to talk, in words so you can hear in writing. 


When you think life is not treating you kind, tell yourself be kind to yourself. No one else have the time to do it for you. If you don't no one will. You have to place yourself in a position that will enable you to be treated the way you want to be treated. Forget all the past wrong doings, cause if you don't you can't move on. Take my words....I had to do a lot of thinking and repairing on my own. 


The first thing I did was to pick up a book to read, I wanted to escape from the stressful events of life and just hide behind pages and not let anything escape in the form tears. I was wrong, I needed to cry and let off the hurt and fix the broken me. I tried looking for friends to talk and share my sorrows, most of them did hear me out, some shut completely and some even said I really don't care. 


This broke me further, thinking I had no one to turn to. Then I realized how stupid I could be. I had a friend in me the whole time. I had me. I have a life to live and everyday I was wasting another day of my life complaining and complaining and complaining. At times you have to stand of for yourself by yourself from yourself. I was fighting my own battle and being the pain in the butt to myself. 





I picked up this book from a book store at Senai Airport, Johor during my very short holiday. Wish I stayed longer and enjoyed Johor a little more on my own. I love reading and reading motivational books always lifts my spirit. Owh yeah, the bookmark was also something that I got from Johor. 


I am very sure that many of you have read this book and may have benefited from the teachings. It is of similar concept to Michael Losier book Law of Attraction. I like that this book is a little more structured and has a 28 days plan for you to deliberately follow and to receive positive changes in your life. The one thing that I think everyone should be doing on a daily basis is to express gratitude.

                                                    https://www.instagram.com/lakshmi86/

Gratitude about everything good in life that you have received. The day one exercise is called count your blessings. I have not been really doing the 28 days plan, but I have read the book and am just picking and choosing the practices that I really want to work on. This could be your type of learning as well, but it is recommended to follow the plan and reap more benefits. 

Here are some serious journaling accessories that I got from Mr.DIY


                                                        https://www.instagram.com/lakshmi86/

So with that said, I am now doing day one, I will give you the summary so that you can try doing it too.

MAGIC PRACTICE #1

1. First thing in the morning , make a list of ten blessings in your life that you are grateful for.


2. Write why you're grateful for each blessings.


3. Go back and read your list. At the the end of every blessing say the magic work - thank you, thank you, thank you and feel it in your hebe-jibees


4. You have to do this for 27 day then on .... no excuses


Get the book people....it has templates :) 



With the positive vibe you will look at life and yourself in a different way and you will tell life I love  you and life will love you back and that is MAGIC people. So here is to Zindagi and Zindagi I LOVE YOU.

Have an amazing week ahead and I am so grateful to be back. Let's love us unconditionally from this second on. Till we meet again in my next post.

Nesting

 Dear Readers and Friends, Is time to dust the pages of this blog again. Much needed activity now that things are so much in order in my personal life. Well I have found home in places, I once thought will never be possible again. On top of everything, I have found home in me. Cliché much, well I don't think so....haha. When you take the right amount of rebirths..many many....then you will rediscover you over and over again. Fear has subsided, wholeness has started to take form. I may have started this blog 10 years ago. A younger self who had dreams as wide as the ocean....she never equipped herself to fight the rough tides. She got hit one too many times. Ended up in an island of hope, not knowing that both land waters houses challenges. Determined, she did make the island her fort, her safe space, her sweet spot... Forgetting the ocean for dreams, never thinking of going back to the waters to continue her quest. Her blessed heart, brought her wise words from her fairy-god-mother

What is Healing? - Self Acceptance

Happy Day Wishes, Incase you decided to stop by and take glance at my blog....I thank you and welcome you to my post that was crafted during my lunch break. I have been doing a lot of research on healing and living behind past traumas and trying understand how life is going to be after you heal ( that too if you do! ). I have tried multiple ways and carried out several exercises to change my thinking, mindset, speech and how i treat people and situations that I am caught it. One minute I was a saint, the exact next minute I was Hulk - SMASH was the only word running and ruling my mind. All I could do after that is, hurl to my bed, hug my pillow over my face and scream and cry all at the same time. Have you done that ? Well, my mind as become a spacious playground and my thoughts creates chains of thoughts....No not overthinking, healthy thinking! I don't visit problems and device multiple solutions, I take a deep dive into why and how it started in the first place. That made me rea

Physical Disability is No Disability of the Mind & Will

Real People, Real Stories; Featuring Khairul  Nizam  the founder of Jamumall Sdn. Bhd. I am delighted, honored and also inspired to write about a soul that doesn't know the meaning of the word "GIVING UP" .  We tend to complain mostly about the things or environment that we are not blessed with. We tend to sideline everything good our creator, parents and many of life's teachings that we are generously given. Often, we overuse our power to procrastinate but never really fully utilize the ability to  express our gratitude for the blessings we have and received in life. I personally do procrastinate, complain and constantly debate that life is not treating me kind. I never actually realized, that I am exactly where I am today of my own doings.  If the doings are of any good, I would be able to live my life to the fullest and struggle would me nothing but a stepping stone to greater success to me. Here is an inspiring story of Mr. Khairul Nizam the fou
