Letting Go..

At times the most difficult thing is letting go of something. Whether it is your friends or someone who you thought was your soul mate, whether it is someone close to you or someone you would hardly even talk to. Letting go is always difficult and no matter what your age is it is equally difficult.Letting go means you love them enough to want to see them happy. It can mean alot of things including you do not want them any more . All in all letting go means that you have made a conscience decision to continue on in life without them for one reason or another.Here are a few ways that may be helpful to you if you are trying of letting someone go.

You can buy a balloon attach what you want to let go of to it and let it go. (This is a good one for things you can't/couldn't have controlled) 

It Takes time it wont happen at the spur of moment and it will even take time for you to heal.

 Forgive.Even though someone did wrong forgive them not because they deserve it but because You need some peace and by forgiving you will be able to reduce the attachment to them.

 Find an interesting hobby such as drawing , playing a sport , creating music , collecting books or you can even make a blog!

Listen to good music.Listen to some great songs. By the way - Let her go by passenger is an amazing song it may help you out at his point. 

Try taking to yourself why it is so difficult for you to let go. Come to a decision by talking to yourself. Crazy as it sounds its helpful. 

Tell Yourself you have your whole future ahead of you.You need to move on. You need to tell yourself to be strong and have faith that everything will be okay.



Things can be difficult at times but you need to move on with your life. You see its whether you be strong or get broken. Do tell me your side of the story Or comment how You let go of things. 

 Soo I will be posting on Saturday So till then...Move on :D

Original Pic Credits
Does it happen with you that your just laying on the bed and are wishing soo terribly for sleep to come but it just doesn't come. Your just soo bored its really late at night and you have to get up in some hours and just desperately need sleep but all you do is keep staring at the celling of your room.Here I am to help you out :)


  • Try Blinking your eyes for some time till they are tiered and cannot be open for long any more.(I got this one from a lifehack and it really works)

  • Try listening to some good slow, boring song to get you all sleepy

  • Read a book!

  • Think about the good things of the day (It even makes you feel positive towards the next day)

  • Do the classic - Count the sheeps

  • Or just count numbers really slowly in your head

  • Get up Jump a little and do some stretches 

  • Light some scented candles (That dreamy scent will make you sleepy)

  • If this is the case everyday then just cut off some sleeping time of the day - Get up early

  • Drink some warm water

  • Try reading that days newspaper!

  • Get up from your bed go for a short walk.

  • If nothing works just get up and do something you like.  

         These work for me I hope they work for you too. Try having lighter meals at night and reducing the intake of caffeine. Drink some more water during the day and Make yourself useful! You see Time dose not stop for you. If it this like you need to be up the whole night because of a sleepover or a difficult exam the next day then do check out How to Study at Night article
                  
            Okay then guys, I am done for the day! If you have your own techniques then make sure to tell me about them. Like always If there is a particular topic you want an article on then do let me know.Do tell me what reasons are there to make you want to be awake all night. Okay then will be writing on Saturday.

5 Ways to Boost your Confidence


original pic credit

Have you ever felt like your not just good enough? Like you just can't go on the stage and speak you heart out? Like you are not even sure about yourself. I did too but I have realised its useless feeling pity for yourself or just blame your destiny for stuff. cause everyone's destiny is great! We just need courage and faith that no matter what we do everything will be okay and even if it's not okay You will still be happy to have lived that moment.

First Like I said STOP PITYING YOURSELF!

 Look at your plus points. Make a list Like 


  • My hair is really pretty 
  • People complement on the way I dress
  • I am really good with essays
  • I love reading books 
  • I think about things others don't
  • I have my flaws but i have people who accept the flaws I have and still be with me.
  • I have helped people more than once
  • I have every reason to be proud of my self
Its kinda okay to be a little complementing to yourself I think you got the point by now soo Yeah list out those weird - awesome qualities you have. If you feel like your stuck leave it there and move on. Add on to that list when ever you want. Read that list when you feel down or like you need a boost of confidence. Remember being different or weird or crazy is not  wrong. 

Second Look at Yourself in the Mirror

Look at how pretty you really are.I am not talking about the outside beauty but the one inside. Think of how many people love you. How many people's life have been affected in a good way by your presence. Think about how many people you have helped through out your journey. Think about your good points. Now that you are looking at yourself just look yourself in your own eyes and say 
  • I am beautiful from within
  • I am proud of myself 
  • I am strong
  • I will fight No matter what!
Believe in your self. Trust yourself. Never let anyone put you down! Never say anything bad about your own self! Read some really inspiring books. Most importantly be YOURSELF! nothing is more important than that. If you don't like something Leave right then! You disagree with something? Debate! Never let yourself down.

Third Push yourself ahead

Yes! Don't look back anymore. What Happened , happened but now this moment your wasting it! Don't! Afraid of the stage? Go and join a public speaking course. Afraid of water? Start learning to swim! I know this sounds dumb but when you build in the courage in yourself and defeat your biggest fears that's when you fall in love with yourself. That's when you know that no one can put you down!

Fourth Action Towards others

Yes others! Once you have started complementing yourself, you can now complement others. This not only boosts your confidence but also makes you the stronger one (the one who complements) Just don't over-do-it cause that will make you look weird Complement only when you feel like they are worthy of your complement. Even show Gratitude towards others. Thank people for their help and support in your life. Why just people? Thank the creator of this earth for the beauty of this planet. Thank him for your life. Thank him that your Internet working to read my article ;P Just Thank him for what you feel like. Its a free world!

Fifth Read quotes

Quotes are just so powerful.I have this whole place in my room where i have written down quotes that I love and I read them when I feel down.You can search for quotes anywhere. Just make sure they are good enough to inspire you.

Do tell me what You do to boost yourself up? Listen to songs? Watch your favourite movie? You can even tell me YOUR favourite quotes and we can have this whole huge list of quotes we all love. Do tell me if you have any request for a special post I'll look it up. 
  SORRY GUYS that i could not post the article I promised last week. There is alot more work to be done on it but i'll make sure i get done with it really soon and get it to you guys. Anyways this is it for today then. I'll post on Saturday then. Enjoy!  :)

Time keeps moving

Original Picture credits
We never stay at one place.We keep moving.The clock ticks but its us who get used up.We are always moving either because of the rotation and revolution of the earth or because we are moving one step closer to death everyday.It would have been easier if we knew how long we are going to live but we don't.We dont  even know whether we will see the next day's daylight. We don't but thats the beauty of life. The mystery of it. The surprise of it. If we knew we wont be alive the next day then we will  want to live openly just  once. Why not live the way you want for the whole life God has given to you? Make you own choices. Dont depend on someone else.If you feel your not happy where you are then Get up! and make things right if they cant be right then leave that place and go for a vacation with just yourself. Give yourself time. You dont know whether you will be here tomorrow.Do not waste a second at a place you don't wanna be at. Remember Time is unforgiving it won't come back once you have wasted it.
                      We are always moving not just because the earth is moving but because the whole universe is moving and so are the people around us.If you see your last year's pictures. Compare yourself with the you in the picture. You will see soo much has happened .You know so many things you dint before. You may not be exactly the same person you were back then.You may have changed your hairstyle or you are dressing differently  but you will realize soo much has happened from the time that picture was taken. A year has passed away. That's exactly how much one year has affected You!
           If you are just at home and wasting your whole day then maybe you need to start doing something because you are wasting the precious gift God gave you. Time. Your totally wasting it. If you want to relax for a day ,you may. That is right but getting up everyday without any hope to live any more or just spend the whole day sitting on the couch with your gadget around to entertain you is just wasting time.  Its okay to do that for some time cause that's what gadgets are for But spending a whole day doing nothing is rather insane.Its different if you are healing from a rather painful event. Whether you are healing mentally or physically then its right because that means your building yourself up to fight the days ahead.
                      Well what ever the choice is yours.All I want to say is that we are always moving .If we are not then everyone around us is. Just get up do something worthwhile before either you waste you precious time or the world moves on without or both. Just get up and do something! DON'T JUST LAZE AROUND. Get up be yourself! Do not waste your gift.
                Psst...I know this one is a short one and I know its a little different from my other posts but these are just my thoughts on time.I may be wrong but its just that the weather outside is beautiful and I found this a great way to reach out and may be try and inspire YOU guys to get up and do something.
                    So, I will be posting on Tuesday then about a few things you can do to make your self a little more useful to the world or just stuff you can do. So till then byee guys :D

College essentials For Freshers

Heya! So I know like every year this year too millions of students will get in to colleges for the first time. Most of them will wonder how they grew up so fast. Okay so all those millions of students here I am to help you out with college essentials .Okay so these essentials are not dorm room essentials but common college essentials.



1) Confidence 

 First thing is First You need to have confidence in yourself. Never let anything put you down. You’re beautiful in your own way! Never compare yourself to anyone else. Never. If you’re still not confident about yourself no matter what you do. Then wear your favorite outfit to the first day of college (or whenever you feel the lack of confidence). This will make you know that you look fabulous and nobody can get you down that way.Check out this article I wrote about it "Boost Your Confidence"


2) A bag with everything 

 The best way go around is with a bag preferably a backpack (it avoids the one shoulder pain) with everything you need. Here are a few things you might need to start off with:

  •  Your books – I know it’s oblivious but many people stuff their bags with millions of stuff but forget to leave space for basic books.                                                                                                                 
  • Lip gloss – For chapped lips
  • Deodorant – You don’t wanna be sweaty and  smelly
  • Hair pins and rubber bands – These are really helpful when you just wanna bundle up your hair and get rid of them. Just make a simple updo and you are free from the heat and the messy hair.
  • Chocolates – If you’re a girl then you obliviously love chocolates. Stuff your bag with a few chocolates to help you when you need them (and to save you from dementors :P).
  •  A mini mirror – For you to check your hair and your makeup whenever you want.
  •           Ear plugs – To obliviously listen to songs from your cell.

  •  Some medicines – Just keep some basic medicines you know you will need in your bag. Like an antiseptic or a band-aid .Just a couple of medicines you know you will always need.

  •  Your wallet- Never forget your wallet at home. You will end up in a mess. If you someday do then keep some money inside your jeans or the cover of your cell phone cover or in your bag. This money should not be used by you on any occasion except emergency. Keep it as emergency money.
  •  Hand sanitizer – A hand sanitizer always helps whether your hands are stinking or your going to have your food and have no idea whether your hands are clean. Take a hand sanitizer.
  • Fold-able  flats – Okay so there are these little things available that you can just fold and keep in your bag and when you are tiered of wearing your heals or some nasty shoe then you can just use these as they are comfortable and are easy to carry.

 3) Wardrobe 

Okay so I know many of you all out there do not go and stay in dorm rooms for college so you can go shopping whenever you want. So it’s not a big deal for you but its not practical to keep shopping every day. Anyways here are a few things (basics) that you ought to have just for the start of the college days.

·         Basic tank tops preferably colourful

·         An oversized white top – You can then style it  the way you want with belts , scarves or even jackets.

·         Belts – Have a variety of belts to help you out with the morning dressing up .

·         Scarves – These will keep you from cold and will also add some colour to your outfit

·         Jackets – I prefer to have  a denim jacket  but the choice is yours.

·         Bracelts – You can get great bracelets for very little money. If nothing works with you jean and top then just go and add on a little heavy bracelet and your ready!

·         Statement necklace – Just a couple of them will do. Make sure the ones you buy look great on your oversized top.

·         Jeans – Take your time to find out the perfect brand for you. The one that makes your legs look longer and makes you look slimmer. Get the basic jeans colours like Dark denim , Light Denim , Black and White . You can even invest in a fancy jean or a legging.

I guess that’s it to get you started for your first year. Its not a hard and fast rule for you to have all of them before starting your college but it would be great to have some staples in your wardrobe.

4) Shoes 

credits
You may get big chunky heals or invest in expensive sneakers but are they worth it ? Will you actually wear those huge heals in which you cannot even walk? Or will you wear those expensive sneaker without care because sneakers are meant to wear and tear , to be used harshly . Nope you wont instead of those expensive items get yourself a few good quality shoes or sandle. To start you off get 3 pairs of footwear a black, white and a little fancy one or whatever if in fashion. Get yourself some boots(Not too long ones just the ones you will wear on jeans or with leggings or Dresses).You can then add on to the things later.

5) Alarm clock 


 Invest in a good alarm clock in case you are a heavy sleeper. You may have one on you cell too but you don’t wake up through that one. Get a classic alarm clock that you can just bang your hand on. And throw it away :P


Psst..Do not forget the basic school supplies i.e Highlighters , pens , pencil , notebooks , etc. Get yourself a planner (a good one)these help you to be organized and be able to make everything possible :) . Do tell me what else you took to college on your freshmen year and your first day story of the college. Feel free to ask me questions if still any doubt I would love to help you out and Yeah! Do tell me what you would like to have an article on. Okay then I’ll meet you on Saturday till then Ciao!
