Importance of Life Skills

Do you often hear about cases of depression among people & its disastrous outcomes? Why is this prevailing and more or so among youngsters? A major reason is the lack of solid foundation. Our society believes in beauty, wealth & materialistic pleasures; forgetting about the ethics of living- happiness, peace and health. 

The life skills I am emphasising upon might not be able to pleasure the society but would definitely help you lead a contented time & fight the odds of life better. Benefits of nurturing skills are infinite; let me list some for you:

1. Better focus & determination to ace your goals
2. The passion in you will create its aura & speak its own language 
3. You would never feel helpless in your life because your skills would be there to support, grow & feed you.
4. Your thinking capabilities would increase. 
5. It will be easier to put life together & be aware of yourself. 

The psychology says it is important to gain this "5 skill set" for every individual. 

1. One that makes you creative
2. One that you can monetise 
3. One to increase your knowledge 
4. One to evolve yourself 
5. One to keep you in shape 

These skills are all equally important paying no heed to its numbering. As an evolving person, I love to learn new but always felt a gap when it came to preparing myself for life. When I got my hands on this life rule; I made sure to embrace it. Luckily, I had a lot of them in me; thanks to maa but I was ready to invest in myself.

Here sharing my skills & how they improve me each second:

~ Art makes me creative, calm & serene. A creative lifeskill will always give you a better prospective in daily activities that you won’t even recognise. For eg. I understand the worth of the word “process” which many people lack to understand & panic or over analyse for no reason. Everything is a process & its going to be beautiful so just learn & enjoy it. Art is therapeutic to me. I know that whenever I am in a dark spot, the process of a painting itself can give pull me out & fill me with a gush of positivity. 

~ The one I can monetise? Now here I want to engross as much as possible. This skill set is about living on your own feet. For me I know the process. But for beginners, start by jotting down your interests. Shortlist 4 & start working on them rigorously...gain certificates, add experience & ace your CV. Imagine, you have knowledge of 4 fields where you can try your hand and choose whatever makes you more money! 

~ To increase my knowledge & push the walls of my brain, I read books. Every genre is great in some or the other way. If nothing else, your communication will be polished, writing will improve & your dictionary will have new words. Its one of the most productive distractions to keep you aligned with your goals. Another habit I have inculcated is to listen to podcasts or to research about my curiosities. 

~ This is my current favourite lifeskill- manifesting & meditating. I am 100% enjoying the procedure of exploring & evolving myself. As far as meditation sounds too high or boring, it is very simple & fun. Literally 5 minutes of my night time & I do feel a change. 

Will talk about this in my coming live on 17th April @9:30pm & probably write another blog about it too. But if you are keen on starting, you can hit me up on social media or email.

~ One to keep me in shape- yoga (my go to routine). In these times if I have learnt something majorly is the importance of being healthy. Our society says slim or fair is beautiful which is utter bullshit. We should be taught to give our body (our temple) at least 30 mins of our day to be healthy. To all the people who consider exercising a need for the curvy people; get up and prioritise your body. 

Zumba, cardio & walking are some other measures I take to keep my body in shape. 

When you start investing on yourself, you realise your worth & worry less about what the world says. Everyone wants to be unique & on top of their game but are not ready to pay the price to become successful. You will be rejected, failed or demotivated plenty of times in life, but these skills will help rise above the sky.

So what are thinking? Do tell me in comments... & share whoever needs to know this. 

In short,

Prioritise

Invest

Practice 

Evolve

Stay tuned for the next gyaan & keep reading good ;))

Wellbeing

Wellbeing is about being in a state of peace and satisfaction. With so much going around us like societal pressures, family expectations, relationship problems, financial issues or emotional trauma; wellbeing does not come easily to us. We have to practise it. 

As much as I believe that self-worth and love should be primary teachings of our lives; it is still not to late to embrace yourself & commence your wellness journey. 

Let us talk about the initial steps or easy solutions (most of them have been personally experienced)

1. Pay gratitude & feel blessed every morning.

2. Cherish little things...like the cup of coffee you just had or the friend you spent an hour talking to. Just be glad. 

3. Make a point to follow the 3 life skills rule (try at least):

• Spend minimum 30 mins for your health everyday. 
• Spend minimum 15 mins to learn a new skill or polish the existing everyday. 
• Spend minimum 1 hour on your hobby per week. 

4. Spend quality time with your own self. 5 mins at night are good enough. Know what to say with this post. (Follow me too)

5. If you feel overwhelmed, low, anxious or unsettled, distract yourself. May be read a book or do any of these activities to feel motivated again. 

6. It is OKAY. If something was not good today...its okay. Take 1 moment at a time and unnerve yourself. 

7. Remember to motivate and hydrate yourself everyday with positivity and self-care.

8. As much as I promote being passionate and hard working, maintain a balance. Take a break to pamper yourself. Have a day off or go for a vacation. This allows you to collect yourself better. 

9. Buy any wellness oil and use it before sleeping. These methods relax you instantly and let you have a peaceful sleep. Include this in your night regime. I have personally curated one too. 

10. Health comes in 2 forms- physical and mental. If even one of these is unhealthy; you will face issues. Normalise talking about mental health and SHARE! 

You can always go for therapies but if you need an ear to listen unbiased, I am always here :) Remember wellbeing comes to those who know how to reach out.

Hope these pointers will be helpful. Please prioritise your wellbeing.
