Self-care and growing rituals through tough times

I have learned that life is a big roller coaster. It’s full of ups and downs, twists and turns, highs and lows, happiness and sadness, success and failure. And right now, I am going through a hard time as I have disappointed many people around me. Instead of hiding this feeling and just showing the best moments, I wanna make this video to show you how I deal with feeling sad, alone, nostalgic and afraid. Highlighting the fact that I have to meet these feelings face to face, feel every emotion to the full. I know that these negative feelings exist for a reason. Instead of running away from them, I want to accept that it’s okay to feel this way it’s normal to feel weak and vulnerable sometimes.

I want you to know that you're not alone Whatever you feel at this moment, just feel it, embrace it. if you wanna cry, then cry. if you wanna be angry, be angry. Just be true to your inner-self. suppressing, avoiding or ignoring these unpleasant feelings will stop us from moving past them. At least that’s what I’ve learned. I guess this video is more for me than anyone else. When I go through challenges, I wanna give back to myself, reach my inner space, raise my consciousness and revitalize my spirit, my soul. For me, it’s a way to recharge my energy vessel to continue to give out to the world. Being in the nature has so many benefits to me. It exposes the true beauty and perfect chaos that the universe has created which reflects the true beauty within me. It accelerates my healing process, makes me live mindfully, helps me align with the wisdom, the greatness of the universe.

Taking in nature just gives me so much joy and makes me truly feel home in my soul. I like to take care of my body more than usual I cut and dye my hair to feel refreshed and new. As much as I want to feel good on the inside, I also want to reflect the good on the outside. When I’m stressed out and depressed, it leads to hormone imbalance, so skincare and healthcare is of my highest priority. I spend a lot more time to take care of myself that often get lost, being busy dealing with day to day basics. I treat myself with a mask, get out of the door and exercise instead of eating chocolate or junk food like in some movies I’ve watched. Going for a run will help me to pump my endorphins and boost my mood. Eating more fruits than grains is a way to benefit my brain. Though I am vegan, sometimes I eat excessive grains, and nuts more than fruits and vegetables while it should be the other way around Because I know how much beneficial these green food to my brain and my health in the long term.

Some people may feel like trying to look good is unnecessary when there is nobody around. But sometimes I still wanna put on make up even though i'm not going out of the room that day I just wanna look good and feel good for myself, not for anybody else. I don't do my makeup every day but it helps me feel powerful, worthy and boost my confidence that I lack on some days. Listening to uplifting music, dancing along help me feel better and heal quicker. I have changed the music I listen to, because I realize, if I were in sadness, listening songs about sadness or broken hearts would just make it worse. I just wanna relax my body, set it free and soak myself into beautiful, uplifting melodies.

My happiness is always linked to how much I am growing and learning. Watching inspiring videos, reading new books are always at my consistency. Since I started adopting and got addicted to this habit, it’s changed the way I see the world, helped me apply the lessons I learned into reality helped me to live freely, fearlessly and happily. Before journaling, I scent my room with lemongrass oil to cleanse the energy, turn off all the electricity and burn some candles, immerse myself into the silence – the thing that enables all sounds exist.

When i'm going through difficulties, I even spend more time journaling as it really helps me to cope with whatever i'm going through and increase self-awareness. It brings me closer to my inner voice, enables me to reflect and let go of all the thoughts taking over my mind I don’t journal just when I’m down, but almost every day even when i'm at high Sharing, unfolding all these moments in written form has helped me raise the sense of gratitude and taught me to value every little moment in life, good and bad. Meditating while letting the sound of nature running though my body, reaching heart and my soul helps me reduce the toxic thoughts, find beauty in the simplest things, be conscious of the Life, remind me that the primary inner purpose of this Life is the Present Moment, is to align with the Stillness, the Beingness, the Aliveness,
