“Nobody likes me. I am unlikeable.” “I am going to die alone.” “I don’t deserve to live.” How do the stories people tell themselves reach this dead-end of despair? Did it start with abuse at home for not living up to the family’s expectations? Or maybe it was the ridicule by teachers for not being fast enough? Each “not enough” being notched in the scorecard shaping their sense of who they are, their identity. Until they reach a point in their life when the burden of these problem-saturated stories is too heavy to carry. Others might look at them and wonder, “What’s wrong with them?” When the question is really, “What have they been up against and what are the adversities they have faced that have shaped their stories of themselves?” Human beings are meaning-makers. Stories we tell ourselves help us provide structure for meaning-making. A father gives the child an angry look and the child reckons, “I have done something bad.” The father looks at the child with anger most of the time and …

So, I was really blessed.” He added, “But if you want to achieve something in life, you can’t just wait for someone to hold your hand and move you forward. You have to stand …

7 key mindset shifts to unlock self-love | Feelings News

Published by Parlour News

Self-love stands as a cornerstone of personal well-being and growth, yet it remains elusive for many individuals. In a world that often prioritises external validation and perfectionism, fostering self-love necessitates deliberate shifts in mindset. The first step, according to Khyati Kanji, a psychologist and art therapist, is to differentiate between self-love for selfishness. “I have come across various people who mistake self-love for selfishness. While selfishness stems from an intent to be inconsiderate, the intent in self-love is to nurture ourselves without causing harm or loss to others.” Another misconception, Kanji said is the idea that “self-love only means showering oneself with gifts and indulging in all things we love.” “While that is one way of giving to ourselves, self-love can also involve engaging in activities that we may not like or find comfortable but know will benefit us in the long run.” For instance, working out, going for therapy, focusing on self-growth, regular health check-ups, me-time, and maintaining emotional boundaries to preserve our peace of mind, are steps to practice self-love, as per Kanji. …
