A Bad Day

-

 



Heyy!!

Welcome back!!

We've all had our ups and downs. Whether it's a bad day at home or at school, there are some days which just aren't yours. Perhaps you woke up on the wrong side of the bed or got scolded for something or just felt lonely. Maybe you felt like Antonio from 'The Merchant Of Venice' who didn't know the reason for his melancholic mood.

 You should know that's its completely fine and we all go through it very often.

Nevertheless, the bigger question is how to overcome it. I have jotted down a few of my favourite ways on how I like to de-stress at the end of a bad day.

  • My most preferred one is binging TV shows. I make myself a tub of popcorn and start binging 'F.R.I.E.N.D.S'. Its one of my favourite shows and it goes without saying how iconic it is. It lightens up my mood in a few minutes and helps me forget about the stressful day I had.
  • Another one I'm very fond of is Talking. Sharing what you feel with a friend or trusted person really helps a lot. I give a call to my best friend and just start blabbering. We have the most random conversations and really helps me forget the terrible day I had. 
  • If you're kind of an introvert and don't prefer doing this then another great option is reading or writing. It is extremely calming and therapeutic. 
  • You can also try pursuing your hobby. I personally am fond of dancing so I play my jam, dance my feelings out and clear my head. It really takes your mind off regular life routine.
  • Last but not least, crying. People think that crying makes you a weak person but trust me, it doesn't. It is extremely important to express how you feel. Crying is a healthy process of communicating with your emotions and helps you compose yourself. 

Of course, there are multiple other ways you can relax, like meditating and going for a walk too :)

    Hi Kuhu! I read your post and... uh its really nice and relatable. I just have 1 question. So I'm a kind of person who tends to dwell on the negatives of a bad day. And although the tips you gave help me receive temporary relief from the bad day, the CAUSE of its negativity lingers and often strikes me at random odd hours and ruins my entire day whenever that happens. Can you tell me a way I can deal with this?

The Constant Comparison Circle

"Wish I had hair like them." "How do they manage being the best at EVERYTHING?" "They're so fit  - look at me: a couch potato" We've all compared ourselves with the people around us. We all compare ourselves with the people around us. We get jealous, begrudged and green with envy. And sometimes we just smile to not let the world know. We get insecure. We feel bad. But what we always forget to accept is the state of the situation. Our situation - their situation. Literally no one out there is a 100% happy with their lives. And, unlike the cliches, maybe we shouldn't be.  Who said that you have to be happy all the time? If you're happy all the time then how do you become a better version of yourself? There will always be someone smarter, richer, more popular, and better-looking than you. Healthy competition is good. It's not a bad thing to have people be better than you. It's a bad thing if you accept that you can never work hard and

The part about College Applications NO ONE wants to talk about.

Officially the time of the year when most of us know where we're going to college!  College is stressful: no cap. But what's equally more stressful is the process that builds up to getting into a good college. Whether you're in the Indian education system or an international applicant, we all know that competition is getting tough. Getting into a well-accredited college in India means  and abroad: But real talk: what happens AFTER the whole process? After you commit to a school? I like to phrase this feeling as Tun-tun mausi ke taane. Why? Because no matter what you do or where you end up - there's always someone to talk bad behind your back, nullify your hard work or simply claim, "Oh I'm better."  In the case of college apps, this is manifested by googling the acceptance rate. Let me draw you a picture: Person A gets into an Ivy League/IIT, person B is at a good college and person C got into a local/community college. It's been ingrained in our syste

Consistency and the 4 Year Special

“Isn’t it funny how, day by day, nothing changes, but when we look back, everything is different.” -C.S. Lewis If you go to the gym for the first time, and you work out, and you come back, you look in the mirror, you will see... Nothing. If you go to the gym the next day, and you come back, and you look in the mirror, you will see... Nothing. Clearly, there are no results, can't be measured, it must not be effective, right? This is the thought that often leads to us quitting. The problem doesn't solely lie in the lack of patience, but rather, in the lack of material. If we don't see it, we tend to believe it doesn't exist. That's where we get it wrong. "Good things take time. Getting better takes time. Building a habit takes time." But they also take consistency.  Going to the gym for nine hours does for a day not get you into shape. Working out every day for 30 minutes gets you into shape. Studying a chapter one night before may work (sometimes); but in t

Maggi-An emotion

Maggi.  Its not just a food item. Its an emotion. Welcome back to month four of #faltufriday where I talk about something totally random and aaj I'm gonna talk about my go to food for literally any situation. Its something I can have anytime, anywhere. And yeh milta bhi har jage hai. Whether its in the heat of Rajasthan or the freezing cold of Switzerland.  This is one standard food which is found in any part of the world and tastes the same everywhere. The variety of dishes you can make with this one simple food is beyond bounds. I, myself can make around 15 different Maggi dishes. And I'm open to more ok. I LOVE experimenting food. The saddest part has to be when it got banned for brief time in India. I vividly remember actually sobbing and looking at people selling the ₹10 packets for 100 bucks and people actually bought it! Nothing beats the feeling when they actually came back to the market and I finally got a packet.  Maggi is something that doesn't have a specific ti
