By Ayesha Hossain
Are you struggling in controlling your wellness? Do you think there’s more to contentment and life? If so, then you are not alone. Every phase of your life influences your state of well-being. Your well-being is more than just a state of mind. Our well-being is deeply connected to happiness and life satisfaction. In brief, well-being can be defined as how you feel about yourself and your life. At times, it’s okay to not be okay. We should give ourselves some grace rather than being too harsh on ourselves.
So, how do you fill the emotional void? Here are 8 ways you can find the fulfilment you have been yearning for:
1) Understand everything is always a choice
Circumstances can never make us very happy or very sad. It’s always about looking into the big picture. Our well-being is no different. It’s natural and God has blessed us in the best ways. It’s entirely up to us on how we perceive it. We always tend to complicate even the most simple things. Hence, we should try to be happy with what we have and cherish the positive energy for a healthier mindset.
2) It’s how you choose to live
Life is the best planner. A small change can make a big difference. The only person who knows what’s best for yourself is YOU. A healthy step towards yourself will lighten up your entire life. So, don’t be afraid to take a stand for your own happiness. You are truly worth it!
3) Be compassionate
Be empathetic towards yourself and others. Compassion is truly a spiritual superpower. Be a listener with no judgement. Be a boon for yourself and others. The power of kindness is empowering.
4) Journaling is extremely powerful
Journaling plays a vital role behind our mental growth. In addition, it boosts your mood and enhances your overall sense of well-being. Moreover, it is helpful for the development of our mindset since it aids in the shifting from a negative mindset to a more positive one. Thus, leading to a happy YOU.
5) Consider doing breathwork
Breathwork has been shown to be effective for our body but has been also considered to be beneficial for the mind and spirit as well. It aids in positive self-development, boosts immunity, helps us to process emotions, heal emotional pain and trauma and so on. Go more for life!
6) Be grateful for the little things
Start looking for joy in the smallest things. Start your day with gratitude and look forward to the upcoming days. Spread positivity and good vibes!
7) Let it out and it’s okay to feel low
We are all flawed in our own ways. Perfection is the enemy of progress. As humans, we are designed to feel all sorts of emotions. It’s best to let it out and feel depressed at times because that’s what makes us feel more human.
8) Look at the bright side of everything
Life is not going to be always hard on you. Some days will be sunny and some gloomy. It is what it is. Stay positive, look at the bright side of life and don’t let negative energy influence you. Life is a beautiful canvas.
