Hey Friends, Somewhere in the midst of all the living we do, we tend to get wound up in unwanted thoughts and emotions, which often keep us from achieving our goals and becoming the person we are meant to be. My endeavour as a life coach is to help you pause, reflect and take daily small actionable steps towards your higher purpose in a simplified way. I will share actionable content which ( I hope) will inspire you to take the next step towards becoming a better version of yourself. So if this resonates with you, join the Vanilla Girl tribe😊 With Love Bhavna
@Vanilla Girl Hey. I'm just another lively girl in this world. But I guess life ain't no lively everytime. These days I can't be sad I my own house. Some days there won't be anything to be sad but there's a sudden wave of depression that hit me. I can't be happy all the time. it drains my social energy and I can't deal with it everyday. How do you manage to put on a sweet smile for everyone???And is it that important to be happy everyday ?

Hey there, life is what it is. Some days will make us happy and some won’t. The idea is to feel your emotions ( happy or sad ) rather than escaping it. Accepting and working through the tough emotions is the fastest way to navigate through them.

I am suffering with depression from past 10-12 years. I am taking regular psychiatric medicines also. But the major problem which I am facing in life is that I am having a vascillating mind. I am not able to stick to one plan for more than 2-3 days. I cannot follow anything religiously or with consistency. I lose my interest in anything I decide to do very soon. I can't even take bath daily because of mental lethargy. I have gained a lot of weight in these 10-12 years. It's 122 kg currently. I have tried meditation, yoga, walking, exercise everything. But I am not able to continue these things for a long time. I give up in 2-3 days everytime. I am 30 years old. I want to change my life. I want to get out of this vicious circle. How can I come out of it. Please widen my horizon about what is that is hindering in my life to move on and flourish and change. please advise and help me with your suggestions.
I am Shweta. My 16-year-old daughter has been really struggling with anxiety lately, having panic attacks and missing school. As her mom, I want to help but I'm at a loss for the right ways to support her through this. What are some effective coping strategies I can guide her towards? She shuts down when I try to talk about getting professional help. @vijaylaxmi
So here's what happened. My best friend, Sarah, noticed I've been kind of… off lately. We were supposed to meet for coffee, but I kept canceling because I just couldn't leave the house. Finally, she came over, all worried, and that's when it all spilled out. The constant thoughts, you know, the ones that latch onto your brain and won't let go? Yeah, those. And the urges to do certain things, over and over, even if they make no sense? Turns out, it all has a name – OCD. what should i do to be better? @MindsightClinic
I'm a new mother struggling with postpartum depression, and I feel ashamed to ask for help. How can I overcome the stigma and seek support for my mental health? @Natasha Singh
