Thank you! Yes... I have been focusing on the blog side of things for a while so the channel got neglected. But will resume soon :)

@@OnlineLifeGuide love it sounds great!!

It's a sign 😂

I think you missed one. No. 10 was "Forgive yourself for not being Consistent enough" i.e. don't stay stuck on the setback and beat yourself up for falling off the track. Happens to all of us at some point. Just continue where you left off and don't overthink or doubt your ability to continue. Not sure if this was the point you missed or some other in between. Someone else has summarized all the point in the comments. Do look it up.

Thank you :)

May all grief and sorrow leave your life, may you heal from whatever you've gone through and may your life be filled with pure joy and contentment. Sending positive vibes and well wishes ✨

Subconsciously we all need closure in such situations. That relieves us from the burden of hurt and pain or regret that we've been carrying for so long. But sometimes, life doesn't give us the opportunity to get closure through the means of direct communication, as in the cases that you just mentioned. In those scenario we need to find closure from within, by forgiving ourselves and knowing that we are only human, and forgiving them as they too are flawed human like us. Life can be difficult at times and we just can't always make the perfect choices and decisions or behave in a perfect manner. It's finding closure in the fact that we all mess up and that is totally okay. It also helps to make some conscious effort to make the "good times" or "good experiences" with the person the highlight of our memories with them, instead of the negative stuff. And finally, if you're still having a hard time finding closure, be gentle with yourself and keep trying, it can take time and know that it's alright that everything don't always have to be perfectly resolved. That's life. Solace is often found in acceptance. And once we make peace with the reality, we ultimately reach closure :)

@@OnlineLifeGuide Thanks. What worked for me was this: I realized that it was my expectations that caused me to feel hurt, therefore it's my own fault for having the expectations in the first place. I need to let go of my attachment to my own expectations through grieving them. I also realized that she did not hurt me intentionally. She didn't do it on purpose. She was just being herself at the time. So, those two allowed me to let go of these old hurts. Thanks for your clarity and wisdom! Bravo.

I'm glad you found closure and resolution. That's true. Expectations are the primary cause of hurt. People often see having expectations in a bad light, but that's actually natural and in fact an integral part of human relations. However when we are too emotionally attached to those expectation is when we get hurt the most, as you mentioned, it's about letting go of those expectations and acknowledging that sometimes people don't intentionally mess up or hurt others (or themselves) they just make some choices that seem convenient in the moment but end up causing trouble and pain in the long run.

@@OnlineLifeGuide Yes! thanks! Finally! Someone who knows something about this subject. You're right, having expectations are normal, and dropping them can be emotionally difficult when we're attached to them. Engaging in relationship with a romantic partner requires both parties to change, which can be scary. Accepting that your partner is different from you and may not have the same expectations can make or break a relationship. People get divorced over strongly held expectations, for example. I like to use the metaphor of ballroom dancing for intimate loving relationships. Both have to work together to make the dance happen. If they aren't willing to dance the way you want to dance, and vice versa, then you need a different partner. It's not personal, it's just the way we are. Thanks so much for your channel!

That's the very good analogy. In fact, I just used dance as an example to describe romantic relationships in one of my articles recently. It's like an intuitive art that requires both people to have the kind of energy that complements each other and not cause friction by working against each other or stepping on each others toes. Thank you for sharing your experience. Glad to exchange thoughts and ideas.

Thank you! 😊

You got this! Looking forward to your progress update.

Thanks! :)

Stop using phone 2 hrs before bed time

Keep bed reserved only for sleeping

Have bedtime rituals to get yourself into sleep

Don't skip weekends

Try these techniques for a couple of weeks, especially the deep breathing exercise. Let me know how it goes!

​@OnlineLifeGuide Only saw this message now. My mental focus is a complete mess. I believe I'm carrying a rejection wound. A lot of things makes sense now, looking back, because NOTHING I try ever works out. Anger and frustration is also getting me down . . It's extremely heavy energies. Not sure how to start initiating healing on a rejection wound? 🤷🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

We really don't need to worry too much about the healing as the mind and body are designed to heal and restore themselves, the only thing we need to do is to get out the way and stop self-sabotaging the process of healing and evolving. That's why we feel stuck in the same place because we are not letting ourselves move forward and grow out of the pain, hurt, rejection, disappointment, resentment or whatever is keeping us stuck in the past. Letting go of the trapped emotions and negative energies within is the first and most important step, everything else follows it automatically. Lately I've been practicing conscious gratitude every day, throughout the day, focusing on all the good things happening around me, the good in people, and the blessings within myself. This has helped me drastically in terms of mental health, letting go of resentment and blame, and beginning to cherish whatever good is happening in life instead of wallowing in what's not. Do this along with the other techniques. I'm sure it'll change things for you as well :)

That's a challenge I too faced. My family has a very late sleep schedule. I'm the only odd one out who goes to sleep early and wakes up at dawn. And yes cooking your own food is very important. 2 out of 3 meals I cook on my own. My family's lunch time is usually dinner for me. The first two meals I cook myself. Getting in the habit of cooking independently can be a very important skill. I know many people who are stuck in terms of their routine because they are dependent on their family to cook them food. I think managing your own meals will help you a lot.

​@@OnlineLifeGuideCould you please tell me that how starving untill noon for breakfast fast affect/ruin your sleep schedule? I'm sleeping at around 2:00 a.m and waking up at 12:00 pm and I too starve until noon I woke up 1-2 days at 6 a.m and wanted to go to sleep at around 12:00 am I went to bed at 11:00 pm but fell asleep at like the same time I wasn't tired even if I woke up so early, Even if it's my summer vacation I've classes at 7:00 am so I've to wake up at 6:00 which I can't do and go to classes late for that and because I can't get time to do things I wanna wake up in the morning Nothing seems to work for me help me

The most important meal that affects sleep is dinner. If you have your dinner too close to your bedtime, it will end up disrupting your sleep and causing digestive issues. Its better to have your dinner at least 2 hours before bed, and don't go too heavy. Keep the dinner light. As for breakfast and lunch, do whatever is manageable for you. Fasting or being hungry during day time might not directly affect your sleep at night, if you keep managing dinner timing right. Make a checklist of all of these tips in the video, and make sure to do as many of them as you can every single day. You have to apply them consistently for at least a couple of weeks to get into the habit and start seeing results. As I mentioned in the video as well, changing sleep habits will take some time, usually 2-4 weeks if you apply all these tips properly and consistently.

Yeah, I too faced the same issue. Gotta make a routine and a proper structure for your day or else the habits keep getting worse if you let yourself go. Not having a proper sleep schedule or a structured day was having a toll on my mental and physical health. So now I do it out of necessity, because I know that if I don't, things will gradually start going down the hill. Learned this the hard way 💁🏻

You're most welcome :)

It's an important aspect of our existence that is sadly ignored or misunderstood in today's age.

My pleasure ✨

Hey welcome back! I think I vaguely remember. I'm soo glad you found peace and got rid of the toxicity. It makes me so happy to hear back from you. Really made my day ☺️✨ wishing nothing but the best for you!

Thank you for the reminder, but how do you know I'm inconsistent? I run a blog, and have been posting tons of content there. This channel was meant as a supplementary thing to the blog. And this isn't even my main project, been focusing a lot of time on couple other projects for quite a while now💁🏻 Instead of pointing fingers, why not ask if the person is still alive or okay in life... Just saying, there could be a ton of possibilities. But if we have a negative thinking mindset, we'll only assume negative things about people. Something to reflect and ponder over.

I would say, have some distance and boundaries, and interact more mindfully instead of totally avoiding people. That way you'll develop skills to navigate social challenges with different types of people.

My pleasure :)

Lol, guess you need new friends 😂

I was in your shoes once. (Don't worry your shoes are fine) The most important thing you mentioned is "not having a reason to get up". Have something that will force you to wake up. Sleep problem is often not an isolated problem but a lifestyle problem and is related to several other things. Make sure you have important things to do everyday. That will use up your extra energy for the day and make you tired which will make you want to go to sleep. The reason we want to use our phone before bed is because we have all this unused energy left so we use phone to wind down our mental energy. I'm sure you've experienced some days at some point in life when you would be so tired that you wouldn't even think of looking at your phone and just hit the bed and fall asleep immediately. That was because you had a busy day. But for now, you can just set a goal to sleep and wake up at a certain time, and if it means using your phone to fall asleep, so be it. Use your phone if it helps (for now). First you need to dial in the timings no matter what you have to do. Then once you get into the habit of falling asleep and waking up on time for atleast 3-4 weeks, you can try not using your phone every once a while and gradually taper it off.

And you too ✨

Then honestly I don't think you should see him as a friend. Jealous people disguised as friends or relatives are often the most dangerous.

I understand. Hope you're okay.

Maybe their hobbies include keeping an eye on others lives and progress, and gossiping behind peoples backs 🤷🏻💁🏻

oh????

My pleasure ✨

Do whenever its feasible for you. The information here is not meant to enforce rules but to give you a general idea. You can craft your own custom sleep protocol using this info. The point is to set the mood for sleep and prepare your nervous system. You can do it an hour before going to bed, and it will hopefully help you fall asleep faster.

Having insomnia can indeed be a struggle. Fixing sleep habits (which I've discussed in the video) does help with insomnia. But you will have to develop a protocol, a proper strategic plan to fix your sleep. Use the info in the video, as well as the additional tips below to make yourself a sleep protocol. A list of do's and don'ts of sleep that you must follow and practice everyday. First off, notice what might be causing insomnia. Do you have too much stress? If yes, then you must find ways to reduce it in your day-to-day life. You can manage your stress through stress relief techniques such as meditation, exercise, spending time in nature, healthy hobbies, healing activities, and taking therapy. Here are some additional tips that helped me (and still do whenever I go off track): 👉 1) Try to get to know your sleep cycle. This means finding out how long it takes you to fall asleep, how many hours of sleep you need, and what time of day you feel most alert or sleepy. (I think there are sleep tracker apps for this, but haven't tried personally). 👉 2) Find out what's disrupting your sleep. There may be some factors that interfere with your sleep quality, such as noise, light, temperature, stress, caffeine, alcohol, or medication. Try to eliminate or reduce these factors as much as possible. 👉 3) Get into good habits. Follow a regular bedtime routine that helps you relax and wind down before bed. Avoid stimulating activities, such as watching TV, playing video games, or checking social media. Instead, do something calming, such as reading, listening to soothing music, or meditating. 👉 4) Create the perfect sleeping space. Make sure your bedroom is comfortable, dark, quiet, and cool. You can use curtains, blinds, earplugs, fans, or air conditioners to create the ideal environment for sleeping. You can also use aromatherapy, such as lavender or chamomile, to enhance your relaxation. 👉 5) Don't get caught napping. Napping during the day can make it harder to fall asleep at night and disrupt your sleep cycle. If you feel sleepy during the day, try to resist the urge to nap and stay awake until your bedtime. If you really need a nap, limit it to less than 30 minutes and avoid napping after 3 p.m. 👉 6) Exercise during the day. Physical activity can improve your mood, energy, and health. It can also help you sleep better by promoting melatonin production and reducing stress. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise at least five times a week. But avoid exercising too close to your bedtime, as it can keep you awake. 👉 7) Avoid eating before bed. Eating too much or too late can cause indigestion, heartburn, or discomfort that can interfere with your sleep. Try to have your last meal at least three hours before bed and avoid spicy, fatty, or sugary foods. You can also drink a glass of warm milk or herbal tea to help you relax. 👉 8) Keep it regular. The most important thing to fix your sleep schedule is to stick to a consistent routine. Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends and holidays. This will help your body adjust to a new rhythm and produce the sleep hormones at the right times. 👉 9) Consider melatonin. Melatonin is a natural hormone that regulates your sleep cycle. You can take melatonin supplements to help you fall asleep faster. But keep in mind that melatonin is not a magic pill and may not work for everyone. It may also interfere with some medications you might be taking, so talk to a doctor before taking melatonin for longer periods. Apply these tips (and the ones I mentioned in the video for at least 2-3 weeks. It can take some time and consistent habits to fix chronic sleep problems, but it's doable. So use these steps for the next 2-3 weeks and notice any signs of improvement. Hope this helps.
