A RoadMap To ACHIEVE Your Best Self – BHUMIKA PRASAD

REINVENT HOPE

(1)

LIFE is nothing but a series of misunderstandings; no, seriously, I mean an unhappy life, to be precise. Couples fight for basic reasons, parents and children fight, and all of the family drama is nothing but misunderstandings because of too much love. Situations can vary person to person, but peace at home is more essential than faking happiness outside. Sometimes too many expectations, and at times, complete detachment. 

Well, I am talking about family togetherness because recently I learned about self-determination theory, which is about basic psychological needs that should be satisfied. Just like our basic needs like food, shelter, and safety, similarly, each one of us has our basic psychological needs like autonomy, competence, and relatedness.

Autonomy means you have the freedom to make your choices and follow along. So not just freedom to buy or spend your money on something, but to save and enjoy abundance and draw healthy boundaries. 

Competence is when you keep learning new skills, master challenges, and have a sense of accomplishment, which then boosts your confidence.

Relatedness is when you feel connected, you feel you belong, and you feel you are cared for and loved by the people. And here it could be a dog for many people, the universe, or divine for others. 

My point is, even if you have people, it’s not good to always burden them with your thoughts. Hence, we can express our wisdom and thoughts on social media. In case you are totally alone and have almost no one, then perhaps connecting with communities that foster respect, love, and care is really important to rebuild your confidence and self-esteem.  

That’s it for today. We will meet tomorrow at Reinvent Hope. Why this initiative? Well, because many children, while growing up, were punished for various reasons, and that became our belief. But the truth is, Divine is not trying to punish us; it is trying to teach us valuable lessons and hence “reinvent hope” to improve our coping mechanism.
