When you have a strong sense of self-love, you understand your own value and treat yourself in a loving way. Unlike narcissism, which is excessive self-absorption and self-interest, self-love is a positive trait. Loving yourself means having a good understanding of both your strengths and weaknesses.

Once we get used to thinking a certain way, we need to bombard ourselves with positivity to reprogram our minds and get them back on track.

Love word is often associated with romantic love, but it’s important to remember to also show love and appreciation for ourselves. Self-love is the foundation for all healthy relationships, and it’s essential for our well-being and happiness. Here are some ways to practice self-love this year:

1. Take time for self-care. This can include activities like taking a relaxing bath, reading a book, or doing yoga. Do something that makes you feel good and helps you recharge.
2. Practice self-compassion. Treat yourself with the same kindness and understanding that you would offer to a close friend. Don’t be too hard on yourself and forgive yourself for any mistakes or missteps.
3. Surround yourself with positive influences. Spend time with people who uplift and support you, and limit your exposure to negativity.
4. Celebrate your accomplishments. Take a moment to reflect on your achievements and all the things you’re proud of. Write them down and keep them somewhere you can see them often.
5. Set realistic goals. Create a plan for the things you want to achieve, but make sure your goals are achievable and don’t set yourself up for disappointment.
6. Indulge in your passions. Whether it’s cooking, painting, or playing an instrument, do what you love and what makes you feel fulfilled.
7. Get adequate rest and nutrition. Taking care of your physical health is key to feeling good and having the energy to pursue the things you love.
8. List the things you love about yourself. And I mean everything. Get as specific as you can. Include aspects of your personality, things about your appearance, your actions, etc. Nothing is too random.

We may have been told that we “can’t expect anyone to love us until we learn to love ourselves.” But for those of us who’ve experienced childhood trauma, and difficult relationships learning to love ourselves may be a little difficult.

The good news is that self-love is actually a skill you can develop — much like self-confidence or self-trust. And it’s an important one. Most of us tend to toss away compliments instead of embracing and internalizing them. Get into the habit of embracing compliments, acknowledgements, and any other positive regard people want to throw your way.

Self-love is a journey, and it takes time and effort to develop. But with a little patience and self-care, you can create a happier, more fulfilling life for yourself.

Bhishma Pitamah in Mahabharat made only one mistake in his life i.e. not being aggressive when Dropadi was abused which gave him the bed of arrows and when died whereas Jatayu in Ramayan did one good thing in his life was tried to save Sita, which gave him the lap of supreme soul when died.

It is utmost important to learn when to be aggressive and when not. As the morning
mist covers the sunlight, Anger clouds the Intellect and people are more likely to
make mistakes and regret later when clouds disappear.

In chapter 6 verse 63 Shrimad Bhagvatgeeta says;
क्रोधाद्भवति सम्मोह: सम्मोहात्स्मृतितवभ्रम: |
स्मृतिभ्रंशाद् बुद्धिनाशो बुद्धिनाशात्प्रणश्यति || 63||
krodhād bhavati sammohaḥ sammohāt smṛiti-vibhramaḥ
smṛiti-bhranśhād buddhi-nāśho buddhi-nāśhāt praṇaśhyati

From anger delusion arises and from delusion bewilderment of memory. The person then
forgets what is right and what is wrong, and flows along with the surge of emotions. The
downward descent continues from there, and bewilderment of memory results in destruction
of the intellect. And since the intellect is the internal guide, when it gets destroyed, one is
ruined.
The Aggressive behavior leads nowhere and is just a home for various physical and
mental disorders known as Adhi and Vyadhi in Yogic texts.
There are various yoga practice that helps to cope up with aggressive behavior. In
this article we are going to learn some of them to calm down your mind and create
a state of peace in your life.

BREATH IS THE KEY
Your breath owns your emotions and your emotions owns your breath. If you know
how to control your breath, you know how to be calm and quite and tackle the
situation. There are two things to be practiced most importantly when you are willing
to change this aggressive lifestyle:
 Being aware when anger hits.
 Practicing pranayama daily to have good mental health.

1. Being aware when anger hits
Let us start small by just being aware, but aware of what? of your breath, as when
you feel angry or anxious or stressed right away start observing your breath and feel
the pattern you are breathing in ; change the pattern if the breath is uneven or fast
make it slow by taking 10-15 deep breaths and Boom, your emotions are in control
and you are nomore an angry bird and are more responsive than before, you can now
opt for correct decisions and thus inviting abundance of happiness. Start practicing
this, hold on to take deep breaths whenever negative emotions trigger.

2. Practicing pranayama daily to maintain good mental health
Pranayama practice on a regular basis can help you a lot in this journey, one of the
best practice can be Anulom Vilom Pranayama. Anulom Vilom also known as
alternate nostril breathing, is been scientifically proven to activate the
parasympathetic nervous system and thus giving a calm and peaceful mind. To
practice anulom vilom:

 Adopt a comfortable pose either with crossed legs, or padmasana or even can
sit on chair.
 Now take your right hand make the Pranav mudra i.e. roll first two fingers
and put at the root of thumb, use your thumb and last two fingers for the
pranayama.
 Exhale out the breath now close your right nostril with thumb, inhale through
left nostril, close your left nostril with last two fingers and exhale through
right nostril .
 Again inhale through right nostril and exhale through left, this completes one
round.
 Repeat the process atleast for 30 rounds at a time.
Anulom vilom gives incredible results, highly recommended to practice in morning
in an open environment.
“when we can lay down our fear and anger and choose response over aggression ,
we welcome prosperity, happiness and peace in our lives.

The post 10 EASY YOGA ASANAS FOR DAILY WORKOUTS AND THEIR BENEFITS appeared first on The Pink Journey.

Let’s get started –

1. WALLS – Decorating any room or place is done in layers. I always start working on walls as they play an important role as the backdrop to our design concept. Color of walls are used to set a mood or make a statement. It can energize a room or have a calming effect, which means it can evoke emotional response to us, both mentally and physically.
Find an inspiration piece as your jumping-off point. Your inspiration can come from any artwork or a place you’ve just visited, create a vision board. Choose a color theme, get some more inspiration from magazines or home improvement stores near you. Once you decide on a color, you can select different combinations to balance and add depth in a room.
Most importantly, when it comes to paint, remember that it is not permanent and you can always change it, just like your life. Rules are certainly meant to be broken if they don’t cause any harm. You can come up with your own individual style if you try your own creativity.
Next thing to keep in mind is the size of the space and how much or little natural light it receives. Light in any form, whether it’s natural or artificial, it will affect the color. When working on walls, we have a variety to experiment with like paint, color, or texture. Also accent walls are always created to give a focal point in the room. An accent wall is the first wall that catches your eye when you walk into a room. You can try wood or stone, murals or wall papers to compliment walls. While creating an accent wall, if more than two-third of the wall is covered with windows and doors or shared by two rooms, don’t paint it to create a bold statement.

The post Superfoods That We Must Have In Our Diet appeared first on The Pink Journey.

More than often, we all end up buying plants which we find attractive or on sale. The key to buying a houseplant is not always dependent on its physical attributes or its benefits, rather a perfect combination of both of these combined with a thorough understanding of the surroundings for your plant.

Let us get you started on choosing the right houseplant for you.

The foremost factor to be considered is space. 

Choose where you want to keep your plant and then continue the process of purchase. Deciding where your plant would go after you’ve purchased it is the wrong way to go about it. The size, the type and even the lifespan of the plant are dependent on this. The plant needs its own space to breathe.

• Trying too hard to fit in plants in a corner will hinder their flow of air. Good airflow helps them to survive longer with healthier foliage & longer stems. It also reduces humidity and reduces the risk of diseases.
• Places with better airflow such as hallways, window sides and even table tops help plants thrive better.
• Maintaining a space of 6” between any other surface or furniture and your plants is considered ideal.
• If it is going to be a room with no windows or natural light supply, try and bring the plant in contact with the same once in a while.

  The second most crucial factor affecting your decision is lighting.While natural lighting is the main source that plants need, the degree of the same affects different plants, differently.

  • Places with full sun, mostly experienced through south facing windows, can be too harsh for some and manageable for others. Mostly succulents are the ones that can thrive in full sun.
  • There are spaces with next to perfect combination, i.e., partial sun and shade. Such spots receive direct sunlight for some hours of the day and then are left with only the shade. Flowering plants survive & grow the best in this situation.
  • The next category is the one with partial light or full shade. Most of the plants resist these conditions and die easily. But there are some plants like the Snake plant, Spider plantor the Zz plant that can easily grow in these conditions and low-maintenance as well.
  • Then, there are spaces which are bright but blessed with indirect sunlight This is the ideal situation required by most of your foliage and flowering plants. This kind of space gives you much more liberty to choose from a wide-variety of plants available.
    The next determining factor for you to choose your next houseplant is the temperature of your room. A plant’s survival rate is only as good as its ecosystem. While the dependency of a houseplant is greater than that of an outdoor plant, these factors still fall in our control unlike those for the outdoor plants. The temperature of the room directly affects the growth & stiffness of your plant.
    • While spring & summer room temperatures are ideal for your houseplants, the other seasons can be a bit demanding.
    • The presence of artificial room temperature controlling mechanisms such as the air conditioner or the heater also affect your plant. While air conditioners slow the process of the plant’s soil to dry, heaters will accelerate the same.
    • The key lies in the balance in this case. Observe how your plant reacts to different temperatures and make adjustments accordingly.

    The quality of your plant & the soil it was planted in also affects the growth of your plant. It is always better to go for home-grown plants from a trusted brand/store rather than buying them as a mere décor piece. A mindful decision taken before the purchase will help you sustain the purchase for longer.
