Self-Care With Shaki

Firstly, to understand how your unconscious mind can help you achieve success, you should know how your unconscious mind works. Unconscious/subconscious mind is your integral mind that controls almost 90% of your life. The thoughts that flow, the automatic activities you do (like brushing and walking) are all a part of the unconscious mind. Your unconscious mind builds your life in numerous ways that you are not aware of. Once you get a glimpse of how your mind works then you will be   able  effectively to redirect your unconscious mind towards things that you want. The unconscious mind is your slave. It means, it obeys whatever you tell and makes your life in that way. Sometimes, we tend to say things like "Life is unfair", "I am worthless" and many negative statements. Our unconscious mind hears all that and makes our life the way we speak. That is why sometimes we feel that our life is always dull no matter what. It is the instructions which ...

Words hold profound power. Especially the words we say to ourselves. Self-talk is the process of talking to ourselves and how we talk to ourselves decide the direction of our life. It will decide if our life is positive and active or negative and dull. According to my experiences, I would say that it really depends on how much importance you give to yourself. If you are important to you then you will never let yourself down with all those negative self-talk. Basically, there are two ways you talk to yourself - negative and positive. Negative self-talk is where you put yourself down and don’t respect your feelings. Positive self-talk is is where you accept yourselves and decide to be there for you. The common misunderstanding of self-talk is that you need to be positive even when you are sad. Please don’t do that. Do not ignore the negative. You have to just accept the negative. Let me clear you with an example Let's say that you are feeling insecure about yo...

Everyone has Mental Health. We talk as if mental health is needed only when people are depressed or sad. But, no mental health is essential to everyone every day. Just like you have physical health, you have mental health also. First, you need to clear in what mental health is to promote it or follow it. I have seen and worked in companies where so much importance is given to physical health. For example, the company that I worked for has a "Step - count" challenge where the person who has walked the highest steps in a day will be rewarded with gift vouchers. Mostly all the MNCs have Marathons and 10k, 20k running challenge. Also, every company has a sports team. I have been there done that. When it is good and healthy to give importance to employee's physical health; most companies miss out on the need to give importance to the employee's mental health. There is so little or no activities or programs that are conducted for Mental Wellness. I think no...

In today's era of social media, criticism, and bullying has become a top-notch issue. People have also become very sensitive to everything that is being said on social media. A single negative comment on your Instagram post would drain your whole energy for the day. Negative criticism will occupy the whole mind and people keep ruminating it over and over. Our mental health is damaged to a great extent that people even commit suicide for negative criticisms. Nowadays, it is all about pleasing people. We curl back if someone judges us or criticizes us. Our mental health is on stake because we are not taught to handle simple things like criticism. Basically, there are two types of criticisms - Constructive and destructive. Constructive criticism is something that encourages us to do better, it points out our mistakes so that we can correct them. Whereas, Negative criticism is something that tears us apart. For example, let's say you are posting a vid...

We have all been at a stage in life where we just felt like giving up and sinking down in the couch. In my past, I was a pro in giving up. I will start something with utmost enthusiasm but will tend to give up on that really soon. It was mostly because, I was lazy or I did not really like what I am doing. But, later on, I discovered that I was giving up mostly because I did not have a direction. I was always deviating from my purpose. I wish I had someone to tell me this earlier. Below are the 5 things that will help you when you feel like giving up. 1. Go back to 'Why?' I give up because I would have lost the purpose. Most of us tend to initiate a goal, relationship or something with a pure intention in our mind. However, when days go by we forget the true purpose of the goal and just follow it just for the sake of doing it. This will create a void in our motivation to achieve the goal. So, whenever you feel like giving up on something then just re...

There will always be some undone work which keeps bothering our mind. Mostly we procrastinate unconsciously. We know that it is important to get things done, but we keep on postponing it without a strong reason. We don’t do things because we don’t feel like doing, it means we are just lazy. Our unconscious mind controls most of our life. It also has a grip on what we procrastinate on. As we already know our unconscious mind is lazy and it always finds short ways to get things done. It also likes postponing things just to feel relaxed in the short term. So, how do we bring conscious attention to our procrastination and get things done easily? 1. Why? To get a solution to any problem you must know what the problem is. So, you should first understand why you are procrastinating. Are you procrastinating because you are lazy? Are you procrastinating because you are afraid to do something? are you procrastinating because of your lack of belief? Or Are you procras...
