Be a gentle Critic

What is Criticism?

Criticism is the act of making a judgment about a person for all his doings. Whatever he does and how he behaves with the people. Infact we criticise people their whole life about their way of living,ideas and work. 

Criticism is necessary to make someone correct or guide but it can discourage someone if it is more than enough.

It is a powerful tool for growth, but its impact depends entirely on how it's used. The line between being a helpful guide and a source of discouragement is very fine.

We all know if the criticism is in a positive way, it provides guidance and motivates to be better person. Similarly if the criticism is in a negative way, it destroys a person's life whether it is at home or work place.

We all love our family and friends, nobody of us wants bad things for our loved ones but in the process of being good and supportive most of the times we prove ourselves destructive.

If we constantly criticize someone, instead of constructive change, destructive change will occur. Repeatedly criticizing someone for their every action and proving their intentions wrong creates anger and aggression in that person. The best way is that if you really want to improve someone, then instead of directly criticizing their actions, praise their efforts and then offer your suggestions to improve their actions. With this process, that person will definitely listen to you instead of being offended. It is human psychology that the more you praise someone, the better they will become. 

What is a polite way to guide or correct someone without being judgmental?

The way to guide someone without being judgmental is to focus on solutions and outcomes, not on personal flaws. The goal is to collaborate with the person, not to criticize them. If you truly want to bring a good change in someone,then avoid personal attacks,make them aware of the consequences of their actions rather than prove his intentions wrong. Ask them that good strategies will bring good results and wrong steps will cause harm. 

Ultimately criticism is a tool for judgment for building a personality not for damaging someone's character. The goal of criticism should be to help someone grow, not to prove a point. When it's delivered with empathy and respect, it becomes one of the most valuable tools for development, both personally and professionally.

Try it once and see if the guidance is accompanied by praise,then it will bring positive change. Otherwise, you will develop a frustrated and aggressive personality.

Empower daughters alongside sons

 Teach your daughters to live with pride and confidence like your sons. Give them best education with their upbringing as much as you can. It is parents responsibility to give daughters strength to raise their abilities. Encourage them to make earnings even a little,so that they can stand firmly for themselves. It is important for their self-respect and self-reliance that they stand by their family, alongside their father, brother, and husband.

It is also needed to know that how it can effect positively their mental health.

When a woman earns and financially helps her family, it can have a significant impact on her mental health. The effects depend heavily on individual circumstances, cultural context, and the support she receives from her family and society. 

It increases self esteem and empowerment. Earning an income and contributing to the family's well being can be a source of immense pride and purpose. It can lead to a stronger sense of self worth, accomplishment, and independence.

Financial contribution often comes with increased influence in household decisions, which can lead to a more balanced and respectful relationship with her partner and family. This can reduce feelings of helplessness and increase a sense of control over her life.

It reduces financial stress. Having a stable income can relieve a significant source of anxiety and worry related to meeting basic needs, paying bills, and securing the family's future.

In our male dominant society it's essential for women to live with their own without depending others. According to our religion a male member of family is responsible for all responsibilities but there is no harm if his partner shares his family needs with him. This is the need of time and current circumstances of society also urge.

Balanced Parenthood

What is a balanced parenthood?

It's often used to describe a parenting approach that seeks to find a middle ground between different extremes.

The family is the basic unit of society. The family nurtures the individuals for the well being of all who are connected to each other. A man and a woman start a family, they are called parents and it is now their parenting responsibility to raise and educate their children in such a way that their children become beneficial both individually and socially. It has been observed that some parents are very lenient in their children's upbringing process. In order to become friends with their children, they give them all kinds of freedom and forget to keep check and balance, however there are some parents who are more strict than necessary. They set high control. These parents have strict rules and expect obediency without question, often using punishment rather than guidance.
Both these ways of teaching and raising children are wrong. Parents need to adopt a balanced attitude towards their children.  You must be a friend to your children so that they can easily share their problems and needs with you. However, in this freedom, they should not forget the importance of their parents and their guidance. For this, you need to be a little strict. You should also make your children responsible for the fact that they are accountable for their actions. After learning the difference between good and bad, they should also realize that good actions are praiseworthy, while bad actions will have to be criticized. If they like appreciation similarly they should tolerate criticism as well.
This way of parenting is known as balanced parenting. This parenting style finds a middle way between being strict and being lenient.
It is widely considered by psychologists and child development experts to be the most effective and beneficial parenting style.
Balanced parents are loving, supportive. They are responsive to their child's needs, listen to their feelings, and build a strong, positive connection.
At the same time, balanced parents set boundaries and use discipline to teach and guide their children, rather than to punish them.
They encourage their children's independence with their safety.
By combining strong bond and supportive strategies, balanced parenting helps children develop strong self-esteem, self-discipline and the ability to think for themselves.

Keep in mind, if children find a healthy and supportive environment at their home they don't need to go outside to seek assistance. This way nobody can misguide them.

Build a life together

 Have you ever thought that your relationship with your partner is not the same as it was in the beginning and you are missing something. Whether this relationship with a spouse, sibling or a close friend.

In this blog and in more blogs that will come in the future, we will try to learn about human behavior and human psychology regarding different phases of their lives. 

If we observe human behavior in relationships, it is clear that every human being wants love, respect and attention.

Relationships are not lifeless, they also need to breathe. They require consistent effort and attention to grow. When we stop giving attention they lose their spark and interest.

Here are some points to make any relationship strong and lively.

Communicate with your partner. This is often seen that we stop discussing our problems even with small things we don't talk about. Over time, partners or friends may stop sharing their deeper feelings, fears, and dreams, leading to a sense of emotional distance.

 Make efforts to talk about your day, your feelings, and your concerns without interruption. Practice active listening, where you truly hear and value the other person's perspective. 

As people grow, their interests, goals, and even values can change. If partners or friends don't make an effort to grow together or at least understand each other's needs, their relationship fades. 

Trust is the foundation of any strong relationship. Breaches of trust, whether major or minor, can create a lasting crack. Similarly, a lack of respect, disrespecting a partner's feelings, using harsh language, or not valuing their opinions is a fast track to a weakened bond.

 If trust has been broken, it needs to be rebuilt. This requires honesty, accountability, and consistent actions that show you are a reliable and trustworthy partner or friend.

 Disagreements are normal, but when conflicts are consistently left unresolved, they create a significant difference.

In our busy lives, quality time doesn't always happen itself. Intentionally set aside and spend time together. This could be a weekly date night, a shared hobby, or even just a long walk and talk.

Show Appreciation and Affection. Small gestures can have a huge impact. Express gratitude for the things your partner or friend does, give compliments, and show physical or emotional affection. These actions show that you see and value them.

The most important thing that destroys a relationship is blaming your partner. If life is going unstable and something is not working as it could be, partners start blaming each other. This is not a one person responsibility, if we are living together, we both are responsible for.

In the end, the key to a strong, lasting relationship is a shared commitment to its growth. It's a continuous process of learning, compromising, and making each other feel loved and supported. If you feel your relationship is weakening, it may be a call to resume your connection that matters to you.

Remember, we are humans not robots. We make mistakes and mistakes should be forgiven because we want the same act of kindness for ourselves. So love and respect each other with positive assumptions.

Let's take a break

Have you ever felt bored with life and wanted to spend some time away from everyone for a while? You get exhausted and want to hide yourself from everyone.

Is it normal behaviour?

What does human psychology say about it?

The need to "take a break from everything" is a fundamental aspect of human psychology. It's not a sign of weakness, but a critical mechanism for self-preservation and mental health. 

When we are under chronic stress, whether from work, personal life, or a combination of both, our minds and bodies become drained.

So what should you do when you find yourself in this situation?

You don't need to work hard to refresh yourself once again. Just sit aside and think what makes you happy right now? 

It can be a cup of tea of your choice or your favourite food, you can wear your favorite dress and go for a walk in a park, or if you want, talk to that friend of yours, you feel good talking to him. You need to make yourself feel special.A little thing can give you strength and release your depression. Don't forget yourself in the hustle and bustle of life. Along with keeping others happy, take care of your own happiness as well. You deserve to prioritize yourself, give yourself the attention you need to recharge yourself. If you are happy, your surroundings are happy.

The psychological need for a break is not a luxury, it's a necessity for maintaining mental and physical health. It's the brain and body's way of telling you that you need to pause, reset, and restore your energy to function at your best.

Build Resilient Habits on a Budget

Small Steps, Big Impact!

First of all we need to understand, What does resilient habits mean?
Resilient habits are patterns of behavior and thinking that allow individuals to bounce back from adversity, fight with stress and challenges, and adapt effectively to difficult situations. They are essentially the practical application of resilience.
Life throws curveballs, right? Whether it's unexpected expenses, a busy schedule, or just everyday stress, it can feel tough to stick to good habits. But here's the good news, you don't need a fancy gym membership, expensive apps, or a life coach to build habits that truly last. You can build resilient habits easily.
It's all about understanding how our brains work and making small but smart choices.
Why "Resilient" Habits?
Think of it like this: A normal habit might break if you miss a day. A resilient habit is like a rubber band, it might stretch, but it gets back. It's designed to withstand life's little disruptions.

How to Build resilient habits?
Here are some tips.
   * Want to exercise? Don't aim for an hour. Aim for two minutes of jumping jacks or a quick walk around the block.
   * Want to read more? Read one page of a book.
   * Want to learn something new? Watch one short educational video.
   * The goal here isn't the big achievement, it's just to start. Once you start, you often find yourself doing more. It makes it too easy to say "yes."
   * Connect a new habit to something you already do every day.
   * Example: After you brush your teeth (existing habit), do 10 squats (new habit).
   * Your existing routine becomes a free, built-in reminder!
* Use what you have, no need to new purchases.
   *Utilize free library books, open-source online courses, educational podcasts, or documentaries.
   * Practice deep breathing, go for a quiet walk, or simply sit still for a few minutes. These are 100% free.
   *Try to stay consistent. Don't "break the chain!"
* Be Kind to Yourself, you will miss a day. Or two. Or even a week. It's okay!
   * The key to resilient habits is not perfection, but consistency over time.
Building resilient habits isn't about grand gestures, it's about smart, consistent effort that fits into your real life and your budget. Start small, be consistent, and watch how these little changes lead to big, lasting improvements.
A little change of behaviour can takes you towards success and happiness. Make your life easy, it's in your range.

Time Management or Self Organisation

We all have the same 24 hours in a day. Yet, some people seem to effortlessly deal careers, hobbies, family, and personal growth, while others feel perpetually behind, overwhelmed, and stressed. The secret isn't magic, it's time management which helps to organise your life.

Time management isn't just for executives or entrepreneurs. It's for every individual – from students to stay-at-home parents, artists to athletes. It's about taking control of your most precious, non-replaceable resource, so you can live a life of purpose, less stress, and more joy.

Why Time Management Matters for YOU

Let's try to know:

 * Reduce Stress: When you know what needs to be done and when, the anxiety of an overflowing to-do list reduced.

 * Boost Productivity: Accomplish more in less time, freeing up space for what truly matters.

 * Improve Work-Life Balance: Intentionally allocating time for work, family, self-care, and leisure.

 * Increase Confidence: Every task completed, every goal moved forward, builds a sense of accomplishment and confidence.

Here are few practical techniques you can implement today:

 * Audit Your Time: For a few days (or even a week), meticulously track how you spend your hours. Use an app, a notebook, or a simple spreadsheet. You might be surprised where your time actually goes!

 * Identify Time Wasters: Is it endless social media scrolling? Unnecessary meetings? Pinpoint your biggest time drains.

 * Define Your Priorities: What are your core values? What truly matters to you? Your time should reflect these priorities. 

 *Set tasks: At the end of your workday or first thing in the morning planning your tasks for the next day. 

 * Use a Planner/App: Whether it's a physical planner, Google Calendar,or a simple notebook, find a system that works for you to note down tasks and appointments.

Remember, time management isn't about being perfectly efficient every second of every day. It's about being intentional. It's about making conscious choices about how you spend your finite time, aligning it with your goals, and creating a life that feels balanced and fulfilling.

Start small. Pick one strategy from this list and try it for a week. Observe the impact. Adjust. Experiment. The journey to becoming a master of your time is ongoing, but it's one of the most empowering journeys you can embark on.
