Ever wondered why you’re starting to feel like yourself again?

Being gentle and patient with yourself is one of the most challenging missions. Sometimes it seems easier to blame and burden ourselves than to nurture with kindness. It is not easy to live in uncertainty, constantly questioning everything your conscience demands. And doing nothing about it can feel incredibly horrifying.

But then, one fine day, you start negotiating with your conscience to make things easier to comprehend, and you find the most subtle and strangest peace in that negotiation. That exact moment is when you find your lost self again.

And you realise ‘negotiation is at the heart’.

Ever wondered why that happens so quietly? Suddenly, it’s the smallest things that light you up. The way you see everything around you, the way you reach out to things you once loved and the way your mind is quieter—it’s not that life has suddenly got easier, it’s that you’re meeting yourself where you are.

It is that one small conversation with yourself that has got you this far. It might not be as easy as it sounds when you are clogged with uncertainties. But asking one simple question about how kind you are to yourself is the most promising beginning to all good things to come.

And you’ll come to know that ‘negotiation is this quiet conversation and gentle consideration with yourself’.
