One day you may feel you're ready to take on the world, the next day, you may find the world to be unforgiving, ruthless and insurmountable. Thursday may be a rollercoaster; Friday may be a car that's run out of gas on the highway. A week of being in the flow may be followed by a fortnight of sluggishness and resistance running your life. A month of having all the answers come to you may be followed by another month of more questions than life can handle.           Just be kind to yourself. Give yourself the power of self-compassion.           Listen to the pleas of your inner child. Baby yourself. When self-love seems difficult to come by, start with self-care. Give yourself your me-time, gift yourself a new scarf, treat yourself to one more cup of warm tea, have the raisin walnut cake you have been saving for the weekend.           Check-in with yourself many times a day and ask yourself a simple question, 'how are you doing'? And give yourself an honest reply. And if life is looking hard, give yourself a big, warm hug, tell yourself that everything will be okay and be hugged by moments of solitude in return.           Your inner child is a blabbermouth. Listen to it and it'll tell you things about yourself you didn't even know. It’ll tell you the times it felt abandoned by you or when it was wounded by others. When you lend it your ear, it may give you an earful, or a sweet nothing, but it’ll talk for sure.           The universe is also a motormouth, a chatterbox, and it just won't keep quiet. It prattles on and it talks through signs. Through numbers and words, through whispers and nudges, through dreams and thoughts, through angels and cheerleaders, through birds and bees, through ants and elephants, through road signs and milestones, through leaves and pages, through karma and intuition, through magic and miracles.           Make solitude your friend. Sit down with yourself and you'll hear the entire universe inside and outside of you talking to you and guiding you.           Happy New Ear.                 In reality, the world should revolve around you.                     Why shouldn't it?           You should be the centre of your own universe. The sun and the moon and the stars should revolve around you. Before you become someone else's you have to become yours. Before you are in a position to help others, you have to be able to help yourself first. Self-love is not selfish. Self-love is making space for yourself first and holding space for yourself as you then create a safe space for others to live, heal and communicate. Self-love does not mean that you lack love for others around you. It means that you love yourself as much. Self-love is turning ‘them first’ into ‘me too’.           You must be your own guiding light; you should be the calm in your own storm. You should be the flower in your own vase. You should be the unblocking of your own barricades. You should be the flow in your own drought. You should be the awareness in your own anger, envy and resentment. You should be the main lead role in your own story. You should be the magician in your own life. You should be your first cheerleader.           Before you create for the happiness of others, create for your own joy. Unapologetically. Before you become a role model for others, become your biggest fan. Unquestionably. Before you create to heal the world, create to heal yourself, for every trauma, every experience, every jolt that has blocked you over the years. Before you create out of fear of staying relevant, create out of love. It'll always be relevant. Before you create just because you are expected to, create because you are meant to. Before you create for fame, create for magic. Before you create for fortune, create for abundance. Before you create for a standing ovation, create for standing up against your own inner demons. Before you create to be known, create to know yourself. Before you create a big life for others, create a massive one for yourself. Before you choose to put your life on hold, remember that you were created by the universe for a mission and you’re holding up a continuous evolution of the universe itself.                     Watch All Episodes Here                 From Our Community                         This week, let's revisit     Kasauli March 2023                                 For a daily dose of Creativegarh and our retreats, follow us here:                         Experience a life full of purpose                     My purpose is to help people live their life to the fullest.   Shilpi Thakur Tirthan Valley, July 2022         My purpose in life is to bring joy and abundance to the world through art and education.   Sonali Wala Tirthan Valley, July 2022         Our upcoming retreats                         Mandi Sold Out 17th to 23rd March     Mandi’s tranquil environment serves as the perfect backdrop for personal metamorphosis, ensuring you return home with a revitalized spirit and fresh perspective of life!   More details         Kasauli Last 4 Seats Left 21st to 27th April     The stunning vistas and holistic experiences at Kasauli create the perfect space for self-discovery, and ensure this retreat is a transformative and unforgettable experience!   More details     Reignite conversation     Andretta Last 6 Seats Left 2nd to 8th June     To reconnect to your inner child at a beautiful hillside retreat with 14+ soulful individuals will make this a life-transforming experience.
