"I Can’t Believe I Did This…"

"I can't make this mistake.

I knew this. So how could I still do it?"


Have you ever felt this?

That crushing guilt when you make a mistake you knew you shouldn’t? You were fully aware that this action could cause damage, yet you did it unconsciously. And now, it’s not just the mistake—it’s the shame that’s eating you up.

Maybe the damage is high. Maybe it feels irreversible.


But what now?

I know it’s not easy. Not when the consequences feel heavy.


But really—WHAT NOW?


How long will you keep punishing yourself?

How long will you keep blaming yourself?

And how is it helping you?


BTW,Who do you think you are to not make mistakes?

Do you think you’re god?All perfect? 


No.

You are a human.

Why can't you do mistake?

Don't you think this is actually an unrealistic expectation from yourself ,that I should not do mistake.

Because you feel your mistakes make you imperfect.

What's that obsession with being perfect,when clearly it's choking you and crushing your life.


Can you not see there is a beauty in imperfection.?

Society has put the idea of perfection in you,which is clearly weighing you down.

How long will you carry that weight?


One mistake does not define you.


What about all the incredible qualities you have? Do they not matter now because of this one mistake? 


Of course not. 

You still matter.


Yes, some equations may change because of the damage.

But you are still the same person. It’s just that you think you are damaged.


Can you see yourself beyond this mistake?

Can you shift your focus toward learning  the lesson,damage control, repair, and finding a way forward?


You are still that kind, thoughtful, intelligent person. You are still worthy.

Accept yourself,including this mistake and whatever it brought.Because acceptance is the first step to true healing.


Then, focus on the repair. Not from a place of self-hatred, but from a place of responsibility and self-respect.


Always remember, one mistake doesn’t define you.


Love,

Pratiksha

What I Did To Lose 4.8kg Weight In 2 Months In A Healthy Way

  From 58.5 kg on 24th Feb 2025 to 53.7 kg on 22nd April 2025 . I lost 4.8 kg in a healthy way. Here is what I did for healthy weight loss. 4 Important Components That Helped- 1. Mindset Matters 2. Food Habits 3. Exercise Routine 4. Fasting Practice 1. Mindset Matters  1. What’s Your Why? Though I was enjoying my chubby cheeks,something I didn’t have for 26 years of my life,unhealthy fat started causing trouble. It began with issues in my menstrual cycle. When I did a USG, it showed early signs of PCOS. That was my wake-up call. I realized now was the time to take control before things get worse. I started researching what could help, and the first thing that stood out was this. Losing 5–10% of body weight can positively impact PCOS. At 58.5 kg, that meant I needed to reach around 52 kg. But losing 6 kg felt daunting. So, I set smaller, achievable targets. First 56 kg, then 54 kg (because I didn’t want to lose too much of the cheeks I adored!). 2. Keep A Target Without a deadl...

The more you numb yourself,the more you bury who you truly are

At just 8 years old, I unknowingly adopted a survival strategy—numbing myself. Whenever I felt uncomfortable emotions I couldn’t express, I turned to television as my escape. And so, the avoidance continued. Even as an adult I avoided uncomfortable emotions by watching television, mobile, and living in an alternate fantasy world to avoid the discomfort and to feel temporary good. But here’s the truth- 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳,𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝘂𝗿𝘆 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲. When we numb ourselves—whether through distractions like social media, food, work, or any other escape—we push down our real emotions and avoid facing what’s truly going on inside us.  Over time, this creates distance between who we are and who we pretend to be for the sake of comfort or peace. Emotions, even the difficult ones, are signals guiding us toward self-awareness.  When we ignore them, we lose touch with our authentic selves.  The more we suppress, the ...

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐨 𝐈 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐦𝐲 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐬?

  𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐨 𝐈 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐦𝐲 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐬? Have you ever wondered that? Last night, while journaling, I was reflecting on this question. Today, during a session with my mentor, Puja Puneet, I gained even more insights into this topic—specifically about energy. What I Learned- 1.People feel demotivated and lack energy because they don’t have a strong enough desire. Their 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 to truly move them. 2. They 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀, which leads to demotivation. The Key is to: Have a deep desire. Make fast decisions and take fast actions. Understand that every action leads to one of two outcomes: delight or disappointment. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗿 𝗻𝗼𝘁.
