Problems of overthinking and how to overcome them

  Overthinking is simply the act of thinking about something for too much or for too long. Making extra judgements about a specific thing. This is an issue mostly common in women nowadays.

Research has shown that overthinking elevates the stress level and reduces the positivity and creativity in you.

How to Control it?

• Always focus on the positive side of life, there can be difficulties and unlikely events but at the same time something great is going to be there or going on side by side in life.
• Let go the mistakes and unlikely events happened in the past. Try to start a new beginning and do not blame yourselves for the things that you cant control.
• Be creative. Don't waste time in thinking too much. Be a doer. Indulge your selves in creative activities.
• Self talk is the best way to get rid of extra overthinking. Just talk to yourselves about your life. You will find answers of your questions within yourselves.

Importance of self-talk

There is always an inner instinct and inner room mate in everyone, who is constantly giving us messages about our actions and about right and wrong. Its important to hear that inner voice and have strong connection with that inner roommate. One should always make an analysis about one own self on daily basis. Ask yourself about the precious life you have and the way you are living it.

Few important factors to put into consideration  

• are you focusing on your strengths and be thankful for them
• are you living a better today than yesterday
• are you trying to make improvements in your life and also in yourselves
• are you a perfect versions of yourselves

Living in the moment

In this fast faced; technology oriented world, we are always in hustle. Sometimes in life we are not realizing the blessings we have in our lives and making efforts to get more and more in our lives. Its a human nature to make much wishes and desires in life, but are we actually appreciating the little things in our lives?

Are we showing gratefulness to our loved ones who have been there whenever we need them? Are we sharing little moments of happiness and joy with them and taking time to share quality times together.

Life is too short but its never too late. Live in the moment until its too late..

Role Of Grand Parents In A Child's Life

In this fast paced era of modern technology, life has become fast paced too. Kids of today's world are more capable enough to learn and experiment new things and they have got more access towards knowledge in various forms. With the huge changes in lifestyles, few things still remain the same. The topic that I want to highlight here is "The Role of Grand parents in the kid's life". Grand parents are one of greatest blessings of Almighty Allah.

Importance of Grand parents

Their importance in the child's life is phenomenal. They have got great impact on the personality and character building of kids. They inspire their younger generation in tremendous amount of ways.

According to research, one important way of learning is the influence of someone with more experience. The Grand parents have great experiences and much deeper understanding of the ups and downs of life. They can become the greatest inspirations and biggest Role models  for their kids. They can share their interesting stories and life long  experiences with the kids. Even research has shown that the kids who have lived with their grand parents are more into forgiveness, patience, compromise, gratefulness and many more positive characteristics.

One important factor is Sense of Security. Nowadays in few houses, both men and women are working figures. It is difficult for them to manage their tough schedules so they take their small children to day care centers in their working hours. Incase the kids are small and grand parents are living with them, the kids can easily stay with them. Kids feel more sense of safety and security with their grand parents and they provide genuine care and love to their own children.

If there is some unpleasant situation or quarrel going on at home, the grand parents are always willing to provide a helping hand and they have got a solution for almost every problem, this automatically reduces the stress level of the people living with them. Their prayers are a great source of happiness.

Michel de Montaigne once said, “Saying is one thing and doing is another. "As actions speak louder than the words, So kids always follow the actions of their elders. When they see their own parents giving respect and care to their parents, they become obedient and respectful in return. Kids are the reflection of their parents.

Lastly, it would be sadly to say that we are following the western culture, and now there are old homes in all countries. We need to tell our kids ,they must give respect to their grand parents, realize their importance and learn a lot from their life long experiences. Blessed and lucky are those who have this great blessing of Almighty Allah.
