Self care is self help

Ever wondered about the fine line between narcissistic and neglect? The right balance is self care..if you do too much or too little, it falls off the balance.

The small acts of doing the things you love, keep a part of you in touch with the inner person. For example I love to travel but when I am home I pamper myself with a particular British rosé (body shop) shower gel. It smells a certain way and gives a cue to my mind that I am back home and I can cuddle in my bed. For you, this might be something else. I have a few of these which I follow like a ritual..these are carefully planned based on how I enjoy them. I had a friend for whom it was her morning tea. What are your self care events in a day? I would love to know .. share in comments below

Btw, I am planning to get back to writing more often. Should I keep it here or start a new blog ?

We stop to ask the very obvious question of our purpose, our being, how much time have, are we running towards our dreams, are we too ambitious or are we too unambitious, are we too scared or should we be more scared, are we winning in life..does this even matter. Because life you see, is an ambiguous blob and each human has a different one. It is highly impossible to bring it down to mere morsels of tangible parameters and we must cause we know not how to measure beyond. At this point, life is a Void, we cannot belittle it by pulling it down to parameters and we cannot comprehend without such. And in such a void is lost another void thought of the vastness of life. To be returned to again in the next Void our mind decides to take

Does it help to let your mind wander ? Maybe it is .. 
Mind wandering is believed to play an important role in generating new ideas, conclusions or insights (also known as “aha! moments”). (Reference link)
