Endings are Beginnings of Beautiful Things

11:22:00 AM

In every ending, there is a new beginning.

Thus, endings are beginnings of beautiful things. So how can you start? How to pick up those pieces? And how to love yourself again?

Well, I am not an expert when it comes to giving some self-help advice but sharing with you few things that I did to myself (well I’m still doing those up until now) for me to see again the light of new life.

1. Pray.

Nothing is more powerful than Prayer. Kneel and accept your failures. Ask from Him the proper guidance that you need for survival. Ask for salvation. Ask for strength and do not let go. Keep on holding Him.

2. Eat healthy.

More greens. They say ‘green’ connotes for ‘youthfulness’ so instead of taking a miracle pill, why don’t you try putting this color on your plate. You are what you eat, so do right by your body.

3. Exercise.

Exercising releases endorphin, a kind of hormone that triggers positive feelings. Think that you have to be strong and challenge yourself.

4. Drink a lot.

A lot of water. Detox, that’s what you need. Detox is not only for your tummy but also for your mind.

5. Pamper yourself.

Be like a queen for a day. Remove your clothes, lay down and get ready to be pressed. Get a much-needed haircut from your stylist, show the lively side of yours. Try to get hair dye or curl up. Sip for a coffee or tea offered by your favorite hot drink shop. Unwind.

6. Spread humility.

Volunteer for a cause you believe in. Working to improve the lives of those around you can change your entire outlook.

7. Give a hug.

Hugs can heal. Every time we embrace someone, we feel we are not alone and it makes us feel all comfy, warm, and loved. Hug and win new friends.

8. Travel.

Traveling immerses you into new worlds. It educates you, expand your mind to other cultures, and makes you follow an uncharted path and dance to a different drumbeat. Its food for the heart and the soul, and it gives you a sense of freedom like no other.

9. Smile.

Though your heart is aching. Sometimes you have to think that you are happy, the more you think you are happy, the more chances of great opportunities and possibilities

10. Be with family.

Even we failed in life, family is always there for us, they might not be sometimes the great companion but rest assured that they are the people who will not avoid you thus still support you. Make new memories with them.

11. Laugh a lot.

Laughter is the best medicine. It exercises your facial muscles and strengthens your heart literally and figuratively. Make your everyday a party of your life. Laugh with your friends.

12. Talk to yourself.

Acknowledge. Look at yourself in the mirror and accept all that is good and all that needs improvement in you. You are a beautiful person. Never shy away from what you are capable of doing. You assess yourself with your failures. Failures are best learned lessons thus you have to bring in that motivation to outgrow yourself again.

13. Appreciate silence.

It’s not ugly to be alone. Be independent for a while and see how the independence makes you a tough person. Go to a place where no one knows you. Be a stranger and rediscover yourself. Take time to bask in it and to realign your body and your soul.

14. Be in the moment.

Living in the moment is forgiving the past and not worrying about the future. The more you experience life in every minute, the more you’ll find yourself grateful for who you are and what you have.

15. Learn that true love is always a life lesson.

Nothing beats the feeling of knowing that you’ve truly loved. Whether or not it lasts the test of time, you'll always look back to it as a time of learning and growth. Always remember nothing in this world is forever, it’s just for a lifetime. Just be contented and BE HAPPY.

ABOUT THIS BLOG

I am curious. I travel. I am soul searching. Curious Tootling Soul, 3 words referring to me. In our everyday lives, we wander, and we ask questions. Yes, and sometimes it is hard to explain to someone who doesn’t quite see the world how you do— the way you do. Life to many can just be sectionalized and put into little boxes. A box for your true self; a box for your sociable self; a box for your fancies: your wants, your desires. Looking at your bucket list—list, highlight, and check. For some though life isn’t quite so simple. Some of us don’t know exactly what we want to do next or where we want to go, we just know there is so much out there we want to experience. We visit and travel new places often without knowing exactly what for, just that we know in our soul we need to. Mundane, humdrum existence and material things don’t impress us. We are in search for answers, for fulfillment and gratification. We need to be surrounded by love and warmth, growth and good. We know there is nothing better than a genuine laugh or a heartfelt hug. We are moved by the storytellers, the dreamers, the drifters, the people whose lives are different than ours, that we can learn from. We are drawn to new surroundings and unique experiences. As we fall in love with so many things around us, sometimes it is hard to keep track. We love and we continuously holding on for that love. We love different. We love doing things that terrify us because we know those are the moments that we grow. We love looking back and seeing that we have accomplished what we never thought we could, things we never thought were even a possibility. Because it is in those moments we know we are becoming the people we were always intended to be. We leap before we look sometimes. It is finding ourselves when we didn’t know we were lost and continuing to find ourselves over and over again. It is kissing a cute stranger under the stars, waving at a baby we pass on the street, helping someone who cannot repay us. It is jotting down a funny memory or a beautiful quote we can’t forget. It is finding out what makes us smile the biggest, what our passions are, what makes our eyes light up just by talking about it. (an excerpt from A. Twigg, 2015) I fall, but I keep on rising. My faith has been tested, but it always remains. I have grandiose plans and an endless list of options; the places that I want to explore and journeys that I want to take. I don’t always know how I will accomplish something, I just know some ways and the courage of somehow—I will. Life for me is a puzzle of creating moments. It is finding my next adventure. It is setting my feet on new sands, diving into new seas. It is laughing with a group of strangers, singing words to songs that I don’t know matters. It is knowing that there is a whole wide world out there just waiting for me to discover it. It is the feeling that there is no better time than right now to do what we have always wanted to do, so why not go? Do it.
