Hello hello! Can't believe it’s October already

Hello hello!
Can't believe it’s October already. 🤭
.
I know I am a little late to the party, but I have been swamped with work! 🤷🏻‍♀️
.
.
I honestly can not wait for the winters! I love winter season! I so wish we could go out and explore because it is such a beautiful time to travel, so sad that we can’t just yet! 😓
.
But I am focusing on a lot of crafty projects in my free time and it has been quite therapeutic I must say! I don’t know why I ever stopped! I have always been a pretty crafty person, ever since I was little and I love how 2020 has made me fall in love with the things I used to love again! 😌❤️
.
.
What hobby have you taken up in 2020?

HEY YOU! 🐵
.
.
Yes you, scrolling through social media!
.
.
How are you? No really, how are you doing? 🧐
.
.
I know you are probably over the banana bread and daltons coffee phase. 😅
.
.
I know life isn’t always peachy as people on Instagram make it look like. 🤷🏻‍♀️
.
.
I know you are working in your Pjs from your bed! 🐶
.
.
But are you checking in with yourself? How are you dealing with staying in one place?
.
.
How are you dealing with being away from your friends and family? How are you staying sane? What’s one thing that brings you joy every single day these days?

I have been watching a lot of productivity and sel

I have been watching a lot of productivity and self help videos for the last month or so and I was hooked!
.
I was somehow convinced that I will discover something ground breaking. But I didn’t. They all start the same way. They all start with a message that who you are right now, isn’t good enough and that you need to change to be truly happy.
.
.
And whatever is taught in these videos or the self help books, we all know that already. I mean, a reminder every now and then is great, but when these big self help gurus tell me that I just need to be more grateful to be happy, I am sorry but I have to say, WHAT A LOAD OF BULLSHIT!
.
.
Instead of focusing on changing my behaviour, my habits, what I eat, how I work, how much time I spend with my family, all I need to do is be grateful.
.
.
What a toxic message!
.
.
And it’s rooted in the whole idea that just because we feel sad, depressed, lonely, unmotivated, we are somehow broken and something needs to be fixed.
.
.
And when you watch these videos of people teaching you how to “Fix” everything, you are merely distracting yourself and not taking accountability. I am not saying all the resources are the same or that you do not need help or that you shouldn’t ask for help. Because maybe you do.
.
.
This is for people who are not looking for self help per se, but still find themselves hooked.
.
.
HERE’s what you should do instead:
.
1. Self Acceptance: Accept that you are a good person because these resources are basically designed to make you feel shit about yourself.
2: Understand that you need to take action to change things. Focus on progress and not the perception of progress. Watching a “how to be productive” video does not make you a productive person, you have act on it.
.
3: Know how it’s called self help: Because no one understands you better than you can understand yourself. Ask yourself why would anyone else have the answers to your life but you?
.
.
.
Because instead of consuming these resources, what we need to focus on is taking action and actually doing the work!

✨Of Mountain cafes, friendships and love affairs

✨Of Mountain cafes, friendships and love affairs✨
.
.
We hiked a few kms up from our hotel in bhagsu to reach dharamkot and landed at this cafe. What is it about mountains and cafes that just makes everything magical, I’d never know! But I sure have felt that magic a number of times! ✨
.
The first time I went to Dharamkot was back when I was in college. I remember making some Italian friends at one of the cafes and spending the evening laughing and having conversations over good food and a few drinks. I remember feeling so happy and content in those moments full of laughter with people I met only for a few hours back✨
.
.
.
I went back for another trip and spent a few days in these cafes, doing a few hikes, but mostly reading books and listening to music and painting. And I remember feeling this deep connection with myself. I remember that moment because it made me realise that I needed to put myself first..And that I shouldn’t be in a relationship where I am not valued.. ✨
.
.
.
A few years later, I took Nitin to this charming little village that had captivated my heart a few years back. And I remember sitting at one of these cute cafes, falling more in love with the guy in front of me. Funny how things around us change according to what we are going through in life ✨
.
.
And for me, mountains and mountain cafes will always be about magic, full of friendships, laughter and love ❤️✨

✨TRIUND TREK✨
.
.
Our first trek together! It was magical. The weather was perfect, it was drizzling, not ideal for the trek but definitely made everything more magical. 💫
.
.
I remember looking at the views, the clouds and looking at the boy here and falling a little more in love with the view and the boy at the same time 🤩
.
.
I had no idea hat was even possible. But I guess there is something so special about going in treks with your partner and it makes you connect on a deeper level! 🥰
.
.
Here’s to many more treks with @nitintonk in the future! ❤️🥺
.
.
.
Have you been to Triund? Did you camp at the top overnight?
.
.
.
In the second pic: I hike coming back from dharamkot to bhagsu, we took a little detour and got lost among these tall trees and it was beautiful 😍
.
.
.
Oh and did I tell you Nitin was recovering from typhoid at the time of this trek! 🤭 what an absolute legend! ❤️

💫Inner peace doesn’t come from getting what we want, but from remembering who we are.💫
.
.
And there are a few places that make you more in touch with your inner self. Places that make you forget about your worries and make you seek the light within. ✨
.
.
And one such place is Mcleodganj also known as little Lhasa. Dharamkot is a small village close to Mcleodganj is one of our absolute fav places in the Himalayas. 🤩
.
.
Stay tuned as we take you on a virtual journey! 🥺

I can’t believe it’s almost September already!

I can’t believe it’s almost September already! 😱
.
Somebody pinch me!
.
That’s just 4 months left of 2020 which will go down in history as the year when time went by the slowest and the fastest as well! 🤭
.
So crazy to think that we have been at home for more than 5 months now! 🙊
.
.
And if the rate at which this is spreading is any indication, we will be at our homes for the rest of the year as well! 🤷🏻‍♀️
.
So, I think it’s time we refocus our energy and re-evaluate our goals for the year. I am sure your priorities have changed over the past couple of months. And now is the perfect time to align your goals again and make a new plan for these 4 months so that you finish off 2020 on a high note! 🤩
.
.
So what’s that one biggest goal that you want to accomplish by the end of this ghastly year? Let me know down in the comments, and let’s do this! 🙌🏼
.
.
My biggest goal is to work on my health, because I am dealing with PCOS, and also to get approved for Mediavine! 🤩
