A positive mind leads to a positive life :)

There's no room for negativity in your brain. Only for positivity. Clean your thoughts, turn them into positive ones.

You need to focus on the good things, not the bad things in life. Admire the flower thats blooming in your balcony. Admire the street dogs that wag their tails when you pass by them. Go pet them. Share some love. Admire the cool breeze that blows on your face. Do things that make you happy - paint, sing, dance, whatever the hell you feel like doing. These things will convince your mind to be positive. Positivity kills so many problems and makes them vanish over time. Give it time though, your problems will fade away...

Another way to be positive is by helping someone, showing kindness. Go do a good deed. Help someone cross the road, smile at pedestrians passing by. The joy you will receive seeing them smile back at you will fill your heart. You find an injured bird, go take it to the vet. Take care of it till its fine and then release it. Speak to people about their problems and try making them feel better. You will feel so positive. "Kill em With Kindness"- apply this flawlessly sung lyric by Selena Gomez to your life and make this into your life mantra.

Your mind will force you to "not" be happy but you cannot get tricked by it. Deny what it says. Listen to your heart. You want to be free from these battles. The best way to avoid wars with your mind is by denying it in the first time. Since this might seem complicated, I will give you and example. Your friends are calling you over for a get together at the mall. Your mind says NO. What will you do? Immediately say YES. Go against your mind. Or else you will have this war in your mind, where you will think " How many people are there? Do i deserve to enjoy? Who all will be there? Will they think I fit in their group? Maybe I should just stay back at home and listen to sad songs." These thoughts will make your situation worse. Don't listen to your mind. Just go for the chances that you know deep inside, that it'll make you happy.

Lets not lose hope. The silver lining is close-by.

Bad times come, bad times go. There are good times too on the corner, right? So why not just hold on for sometime. Look, life always goes up and down. You gotta go through the downs to get to the ups.

If you're going through a depression phase, it doesn't mean that you never smile, you're never happy. Of course you are. Its just that you have to hold on till your "happy" times are back. YOU ARE BRAVE OK. And nobody can stay alone, go seek help. Talk to the ones who you trust. You are not alone. And it is nothing shameful to seek help. In fact you should be proud that you're taking the effort to reach out. This way your "low" periods can become bearable enough. You cannot lose hope because you are loved and your loved ones need you and they cannot go a day without seeing your lovely face or hearing your soothing voice. Do not lose hope because good days are bound to come around again.

If you are facing anxiety and panic attacks, lets face it, none of the people around you can pull off through this as well as you are. You are trying and I know that and I love you okay? Okay. All you need to do more is to open up. Talk. Scream. Cry. Do everything you want in the front of the ones you love. Keep someone beside you to calm you down. Let them know what you're feeling. They will help you. Again. Seeking help is an act of courage, for the need to feel better. You deserve better. And soon you will be better. Just give it time ok. I love you. Im here for you.

If you have ANY kind of disorder, please know that you are not alone. and this is all normal. Something different cannot be termed as abnormal. Your body gets warmer, you get fever. Isn't that normal? Same way if your brain is playing games with you, thats normal too. This is unfair. If something happening to your body is normal, then something happening in the brain is normal too, because (just a reminder) the brain too is in your body. So please remember your disorder will fade away. You have to talk to a counsellor and you'll be on your path to recovery. Talk to someone you love, they will help you. All I'm asking is that you must speak up. Stay strong okay I love you. 

Just a reminder, if you need to talk to me email me through vkhakhar99@gmail.com I love you and I'm here for you okay? Okay.

R.I.P. Carrie Fisher

May Your Soul Rest in Peace. We Love You. You Will Be Missed.

As you might know Carrie Fisher was very open about her mental illnesses. I want to take a moment to pay my respect to this brave persona who so openly talked about her battles...

It must've been very hard to open up about a social taboo like mental illness in all the existing limelight she had. We as a community respect her for that. There is no shame in opening up. It's just the pride of coming out as an open book with no secrets, and that too not in front of the media and the world, just our close ones.

We must draw inspiration from her and honour her by following her footsteps. The more we open up, the more support we can seek and also support others who are on our same boat. Battling.

Those who fight battles, get stronger.

Our mind is so complex. It has the power to destroy the world, on the other fag end, it has the power to conquer the world. The art is of how to control it.

The controlling of your mind causes the battles, so in fact if you are fighting battles, you are resisting the power your mind has over you. Isn't that a good sign? Yes, no doubt that the journey is hard, but hey you are strong enough to face it, right! Remind yourself again and again " I AM STRONGER THAN MY PROBLEMS ". You have made it so far. I AM PROUD OF YOU. You should be proud of yourself too.

There are days when you cannot get off the bed. Days when you don't feel like doing anything. Well here you are, on this blog, reading this. Seeking peace from these wars. This urge enough proves that you are strong enough to face your battles. Recognise these small acts of courage that you display and reward yourself for them.

Our mind, if constantly reminded, can be tricked into believing the truth, the truth it doesn't want to believe. The truth being that YOU ARE STRONG enough to face any damn problem in this world. Remind Yourself you have the support, you are not alone. You are loved. You are looked after by the forces of nature.  

Those who have battles in their heads, you are not alone! I love you! Okay? Okay.

Mental Health is considered as a taboo; people don't want to talk about it openly. Why? Because people would judge? Really?! C'mon this is the 21st Century... Open up. There are way too many people on your same boat, open your eyes and see. Why not receive support and help others too. Trust me there are way too many people who care and seek for sprinkling kindness around like Confetti! 

I open heartedly welcome anyone and everyone to this blog... This is for those who seek peace with their own minds suffering from or as a matter of fact, are bravely battling with Depression, Anxiety, OCDs, Complexes and the list goes on... You are special. REMEMBER THAT. These are not something to be ashamed of. Be proud of who you are. Embrace it. 

Try breaking a stick, it will easily break. Try breaking ten sticks together, they won't break. Together we must form the strength of each other. A community where you can open up and not care if the next person would judge because the next person knows what you're going through and s/he will not judge you.
