How to be more confident in life and reduce anxiety.

Hello everybody! Welcome back to my blog. So, again I'm doing a different post because I feel like such posts do make a difference for some people. It is a bit different from my usual beauty posts. And I'm thinking to do more of such kind of general like casual talk/advice kind of posts. I would be happy if this post helps t least one of you out there struggling from anxiety which is not very commonly spoken about it is definitely worth seeking advice and therapy.

So, today I wanted to talk about anxiety and how to reduce it. This is not spoken about very often on the internet or even in general, because most people don't even know about it. Obviously at some point in our lives, we all feel anxious, let aside how anxious, but at some point we all face it. But for some people, it might be a big deal and an issue that makes their life hard. I'm aware that everyone has problems, but this anxiety makes it even worse for some people. It is stuck like a disorder. I do not scientifically know a lot about this disorder and how it is developed in a person, but it just will not let you do anything. It locks your body and mind and makes you numb like a sloth and you can do nothing.

Your body starts producing a lot of adrenaline and you start sweating.  You slowly loose control over body and feel helpless. You cannot breathe, cannot see, do not know what is happening around. All you know is something is happening to you and you are not comfortable. Sometimes you also feel like vomiting. These are all the signs of anxiety. This is usually observed in teens who complain that they do not want go out and want to stay in their bedroom and do nothing. You can't even blame them. It is the anxiety that does not let them do anything.

When I was young, I used to suffer from an acute case of anxiety. Over the years it reduced but I still suffer from it. It just happens at any time, or at times where you have to do a stage performance or a public speaking. Sometimes it occurs for no reason and sometimes even during the middle of the night. It is not a good feeling and when you get this, you do not feel like doing anything. This put me onto lot of trouble, took away many opportunities from me, but as a young girl, I could not really figure out what exactly was happening to me. Now that I know what it is, I want to share it with everyone and tell them that they are not alone if this is happening to them.

There is no medication for this, but there is definitely therapy. Do share it with your parents or your loved ones and consult a doctor. There are no magic pills that can reduce this but with effort and time, you can definitely reduce this. You can be a confident person again. Anxiety attack or panic attacks are most likely to occur in the same places most of the time. For Example, If you get panic attacks during travelling, it more likely that you get panic attacks again and again during travelling. This takes away the explorer in you, the traveler in you, and your love for adventure cries in silence. To prevent an attack, you stop trying to do anything, skip opportunities and later regret. So always keep trying and take risk. You should be more confident. Always be positive and always feel like you can do it.

 If you think you can, you can. If you think you can't, you're right. 

                                                                                -- Henry Ford.

This can happen in many places, in a train, bus, school, college, work,during public speech, stage performance and even during the middle of the night. Definitely consult a therapist and go for therapies without fail. You will slowly reduce the anxiousness. Also have faith in yourself. You should stop worrying about what others think of you. In the end, your happiness is the only thing that matters. So do not be scared to do anything in the fear of what others will think, or in the fear humiliation or in the fear of others judging you. People will always speak behind you, that is why they are still BEHIND you and you are AHEAD of them. Keep going on. Move on so far that they cannot see you anymore, and do not let anxiety drag you back. Fly so high and let your success scream so loud that you cannot hear their words of humiliation ever again. You can definitely do this. Speak more and more in public to get rid of stage fear. Do the things you hate the most, to get rid of the fear to do them. Take more risks, and nothing will look risky on your life anymore. By taking risks, I do not mean motorcycle stunts or skydiving without parachute :P Do things that are more challenging for you and have fun. And then at a point, you will reach that level of confidence that others words wont matter in your life anymore, and every challenge looks fun. This is when you become ready to get what you want in your life and achieve success. By being more confident, you're already half way through success. But do not even be over confident and take things for granted as that will result in failure and disappointment. Also, learn that failure is a part of success. So do not get disappointed if you fail once. Make mistakes, learn things, fall down and get up. You cannot make the same mistake twice. So always be faithful and take a step forward every single time.

And lastly, remember one thing, 

Do more of what makes you happy

     -- Pointless Blog

Always do what you want to do. Never sacrifice your life and career for anything or anyone. Put all your heart and soul for it and do it, success will come on it's own. If you want to do something, do it now, because later will be too late. Get what you want and do what you ought to and before you realize, you are already successful :D Be positive and spread it like confetti. There will always be negativity every where but positivity is the one that will go far.

Alright guys, so this was a quick little post. I hope that this helped you. If it did then please do share it with your friends. There must be someone out there who needs help, so please do share it and give it a "+1" if you liked it. If you want me to do more of such casual life talks or serious talks/Q&A's, then please do let me know in the comments and I will work on them for you.

Bye <3

How to have glowing skin and hair this winter.

Hey Everyone! Welcome back to my blog. So it is the winter finally. I love winters. It is my favorite time of the year. Also, I'm very excited for Christmas. I just love everything about winters and Christmas but there is one thing that I a not really looking forward to in the winters. And that is dry and pale skin. Our skin just gets very dry and scaly and not very good to see and to feel. So, today I a going to be sharing my thoughts on how to get glowing smooth skin, this winter.

So, it might be very tempting to have hot steaming showers in the winters because obviously it is very cold outside. But having these hot steaming showers are very bad your skin. This hot water will rip off your skin of its natural moisture and bounciness and make it very dry and dead. So always have showers with lukewarm water instead of hot steaming showers.

 Make sure to moisturize your skin regularly. When you are out of the shower and you skin is still a little bit damp, it is the best time to moisturize your skin. All the product will be absorb better and faster without getting wasted or transferring to your clothes. Moisturize you whole body. Even if you have oily skin, you must moisturize. Choose something that is a little bit light. Something that is water based. And if you have normal skin, you can use a normal moisturizer. But if you have extremely dry and scaly skin then oil based lotions are best for you. Apply all over your arms and legs immediately after taking a warm shower.

 Keep yourself well hydrated. Drink lots and lots of water. Your body will need that extra hydration because it loses all the moisture. You hands and feet get dry. Your lips are chapped and your hair also gets very dry. So drink a lot of water to keep your body hydrated and for your skin and lips to restore of it natural moisture. In the winter, chances are high for your body and sin to get dehydrated, so make sure that you are drinking enough water. I know that drinking a lot of water is not realistic and is very boring, so to make it more interesting, you can add mint leaves to your water to give it that minty taste or make yourself a nice green tea twice a day. In this way you are not drinking just water but something healthy and with a little bit of taste. 

 You hair tends to get very very dry in the winter. Sometime to that extent that it start to look like a birds nest. Just washing and conditioning won't be enough during the water. You need to oil your hair before washing. This is called preconditioning. This can be done even if the humidity is high. Do not use a non-sticky oil. Save them for the summer and use a proper sticky warm oil and massage your scalp with an d bring it down to the tips of your hair. Leave it for two-three minutes or overnight if you can and then wash and condition your hair as normal. This will keep your hair smooth and shiny. You can even make a nice hair pack and apply it your hair once or twice a week before washing it.

For this hair pack, you will need:

2 tablespoons of warm coconut oil
1 tablespoon o warm honey.

Take the ingredients and put them in the oven for round 30 seconds. It is important to heat the honey to prevent grey hair. Then mix both the ingredients and apply it your hair and wrap in up in a shower cap to keep the hair. Leae it for about an hour and then shampoo and condition as normal.

 Honey will give moisture to the hair while the coconut oil makes it soft and shiny. Doing this at least once a week will benefit your hair and keep it from ripping of it moisture and bounce.

During this cold weather, it is also very normal that your scalp gets very dry and you have a lot dandruff and itchiness. To avoid this there are many thins you can do. As simple as using an anti-dandruff shampoo. Use can also do hot-oil massages to your scalp once or twice a week to get rid of visible flakes of dandruff. Or, you can make a pack to get rid of dandruff.

For this pack, you will need:

6 tablespoons of curd
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
4 tablespoons of oil(coconut/almond/olive)

Mix all the ingredients and apply to your scalp. Leave this pack for 45 minutes and not any longer because lemon is a bit drying and can also cause dryness. So you can also add a little bit of honey if you wish to. Apply this to your scalp only and not to the entire hair. You do not have to use a shower cap. After 45 minutes rinse the mask off and shampoo and condition as normal.

 Your face is the part which is constantly exposed to the changing weather and it undergoes all kinds of problems due to weather change. Your skin will feel very dry and flakes especially around the nose and forehead. It is important to moisturize your face along with your body. Do not use the same product for your face and body. Your face skin is thinner than your body skin. Use something that is more gentle for your face skin and something that can keep your skin moisturized for longer because it is constantly exposed to the cold weather. 

Moisture your face and body. Once in the morning and once before going to bed. During bed time, use something that is more efficient because night time is the time when you're skin is rejuvenating and repairing. So always use an efficient product for bed time and use a normal moisturizer during the day time when you are in the go, preferably something that has some SPF. You would not like to use separate moisturizer and sunscreen because sunscreens can be too greasy and make your face look oily. Always use multipurpose products that are not drying and non greasy to have glowing skin.

Change all your soaps and shampoos. I personally like to use either dove or pears soaps and face washes. I believe they make shower gels too. Shower gels or gel bars like fiama di wills would be better because they are less drying. Soaps like dove and pears are also non drying. For hair, since scalp can get dry and you might experience a lot of dandruff, Head and Shoulders Smooth and Silky shampoo would be a good option of which a review will be coming up soon so stay tuned. They also have a cool menthol one which is more of a summery shampoo, which I have already reviewed and I will leave the link at the end, so make sure to check  it out once.

Happy Winters :'') 

So that is it guys for this time. I hope you enjoyed this post and found it helpful. If you did, then make sure to share it with your friends and give it '+1'. If you have tried any of the packs above then do let me know, also if you know any tips to make smooth skin and hair during the winter, let me and everyone else know in the comments.
