Hey You!
Yes You.. Stop being harsh on yourself.I know you get overwhelmed watching so many people live the life of their dreams, going on dream vacations, productivity geeks managing their routines so well while you still struggle waking up early and sticking to a routine. I know after endless procastination and false promises to sleep on time and start exercising and eating healthy, you still fall a prey to the choclate loaded brownies or the mouth tickling yummy panipuri plate. I know that you promise, not scrolling insta reels back to back or watching Netflix but then your fav blogger shares a reel on your favourite song looking absolutely gorgeous or your favourite series comes up with another season, something that you have waited this long to watch. I know with the internet flooding with videos of how 'minimalism is the new black' you keep promising of not buying more clothes and decluttering your wardrobe but then your fav influencer picks up an outfit and you simply cant resist and end up buying that outfit landing yourself in that vicious circle again. I know you promise yourself to love yourself first, prioritise your mental well being but then society expects a lot out of you amd you end up frustrated and miserable. I know you. I am You.
Dont be harsh on yourself. The very fact that you are trying is a huge thing in itself. Dont compare your baby steps with someone else's giant leap. They had started somewhere You and I am right now. Life is simple and do you think you should complicate it by overburdening yourself with all at once. You deserve love patience kindness that you so easily pour on others. Take it slow. Start with waking 15 mins early or may be not snoozing your alarm when it beeps the very first time. Allow yourself to cheat on your favourite food when following your strict diet. Sometimes instead of hitting gym go out on a stroll with your parents, pet or call up your bestie..Trust me it would add to mental health as well. Just dont rush after trends, what is today might now be tomorrow. Be you, be your own trendsetter.
With the advent of a new year. I know you just like me would simply add up goals just like we have done all these years. A vicious circle of never ending promises and false hopes, isn't it? but this year lets promise ourself not to be harsh on ourself, not to compare our life with someone else lala land, pour ourself with endless love and patience and to take it slow. Just remember a slow pace is far better than quitting.
I have promised myself the same. How about you..
