Hi, my people, so I\u2019ve kind of, been on this journey, of healing and growing and\u00a0becoming the best version of myself<\/em>\u00a0(not that i totally wasn’t rocking already \ud83d\ude09 ). I\u2019m quite amazed by how much \u201chealing\u201d has been glamourised lately. Thank you, social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, it was only in movies you\u2019d see a makeover, a full-blown transformation montage set to some intense song, and suddenly feel like, yes! kar har maidan fateh!<\/em> You\u2019d be all jazzed up, super pumped for a day or two, and then\u2026 right back to square one. At least until the next \u201clakshya toh har haal mein paana hai\u201d<\/em> moment caught your fancy. But now every other reel is about healing, growing, manifesting, fresh haircuts after big heartbreaks, and people dancing under fairy lights like they\u2019ve finally cracked the code to happiness and many more of all that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not that i am complaining, all this does look and feel magical. Ask me if I journal, and I\u2019ll instantly say yes, absolutely!<\/em> because I love being part of this journaling, manifesting, finding-myself era. It\u2019s quite cool, it\u2019s soft, its all main character energy. But here\u2019s the truth: I started off big, pages and pages every day. Now? It\u2019s maybe a stray line or two in the Notes app on my phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not saying the writing didn\u2019t help, it did. But what actually brought peace to my chaos? Was painfully ordinary. As dull as it possibly gets. No violins playing in the background. No fairy lights. Just tiny, boring steps that nobody claps for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s drinking water when you\u2019d rather have coffee (again).<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s getting up to fill that bottle even though you\u2019d much rather flop on the couch and doomscroll for an hour. It\u2019s making that basic dal-chawal instead of ordering cheesy fries and pesto sandwich. Tiny, unsexy choices that feel pointless in the moment<\/em> until weeks later you realize your mood is steadier, your skin\u2019s happier, and you\u2019re not crashing at 3 PM anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s choosing rest over distractions.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Healing is turning off the TV and taking that nap. It\u2019s putting down your phone so you can actually feel your feelings instead of shopping, texting, or binge-watching them away. It\u2019s unbelievably boring. And unbelievably important.( i am still having a hard time with this one)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sweatpants,oversized tee, Zero shame!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Wearing the same old comfy leggings and oversized tee for walks and workouts and not matching sets, no cute scrunchies, zero effort and honestly, not caring one bit. Because moving your body is the point, not looking like a Pinterest reel.( although i know secretly everyone wants to live a pinterestry life, including me)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s learning to live with your scars.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I used to have this big misconception that once I was \u201chealed\u201d or finally over<\/em> certain things, they\u2019d stop affecting me. Like I\u2019d magically level up and those old hurts would just\u2026 vanish….But boy, was I wrong! Turns out, the same stupid things I avoid still sting when they pop back up in my head. The difference now? I\u2019ve just learned to manage my emotions better. Learned to live with the scars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s about knowing your triggers and greeting them like that slightly annoying neighbour aunty, when you smile politely, keep it moving, and absolutely don\u2019t let her bulldoze your entire day.Because real healing is reaching a point where your old wounds don\u2019t bleed all over every new thing. They\u2019re still there, sure. But now, they\u2019re just a part of you and not the part running the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doing ordinary things!<\/h3><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doing dull admin tasks that quietly unclog your brain like finally cleaning out your comb (ew, but also wow), arranging that chaotic bathroom cabinet, getting the laundry done (truly the Everest of adulting), or dumping all that raddi<\/em> that\u2019s been haunting you for months. Even writing out the perfect monthly grocery list so you\u2019re not buying random snacky nonsense that expires untouched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are painfully ordinary things. The stuff nobody\u2019s putting on stories with a cute filter. But oh my god, the relief that hits you once it\u2019s done? The way your shoulders drop? It\u2019s priceless. Because it\u2019s one less tiny thing gnawing at your emotional energy. One less mental tab open. One less ugh<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turns out, sometimes peace isn\u2019t found in fancy journaling or profound therapy breakthroughs it\u2019s right there in a clean comb and an empty laundry basket. Who knew?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What has actually been helping me\u2026<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u2728 Going to bed on time even though your inner night owl is screaming to scroll.
\u2728 Eating home food for the 5th day in a row because your body\u2019s happier for it.
\u2728 Unfollowing people who secretly make you feel like crap (no dramatic announcement needed).
\u2728 Walking, sun on your face, no headphones, just your own boring thoughts.
\u2728 Talking to my girls, venting, listening to them vent
\u2728 Being honest in therapy even when you want to sugarcoat it all.
\u2728 Saying \u201cno thanks\u201d to plans that you know will drain you.
\u2728 Calling both my moms just to hear them laugh and talk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end\u2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Healing is boring. It\u2019s repetitive. It\u2019s small. But it\u2019s also real. It\u2019s tucked inside all those ordinary days where you quietly choose yourself, over and over and over again. And one day, it doesn\u2019t feel so hard anymore, you wake up and realise you\u2019re not in the same place you were six months ago. That your insides feel lighter, your laughs are easier<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that, my people, is exactly where the good stuff lives. \ud83d\udc9b<\/p>\n\n\n\n
