Tell me 5 good things about YOU. (in my comment box please)




Hi there,

Hope you are holding up well on day 10 of #LockdownIndia !
Weekend is here--although every day now resembles the other. There's no concept of "weekday" anymore. Those of you who are working from hope--I hope you get a respite from the usual work pressure and  added stress of work-from-home.

I had a fabulous home workout todayI think it is possible to have a proper workout at home, and be fit even though we don't have access to the gym.

I think it is very important to celebrate our smallest successes. Be it a simple task like sweeping and mopping the house, or resisting the temptation to take an afternoon snooze or cleaning up your bathroom really well. We need to remember to applaud ourselves for even the smallest tasks we managed to achieve, simply because these are very stressful times. Our idea of 'normal' has been completely distorted, and we're bombarded with news of deaths and suffering.

I find that journalling helps me. I have been writing in journals ever since I was a child. I write when i am sad, when I am happy, worried, excited, eager, tired, confused. Writing has been my saviour for ages.

Have you ever maintained a journal? If so did you give up because you were bored of the monotony?
If you want to journal and are looking for what you can write about please read this article:
7  different ways to journal to help you help you create, reflect and explore.


I want to give you a little  kick-start into appreciating yourself: So in my comment box, tell me 5 good things about yourself that you are proud of!
I was once asked this in an interview. You can watch the interview here  where I have candidly answered why  I love myself.

Do it--go! If you are reading this in your inbox, head over to my blog and feel free to use my comment box.



 See you tomorow!

Till then--get busy, filling up my comment box with 5 good things about you. What you believe are good (not what others tell you).

Lots of love
Preeti

  5. Lovely article to keep start my weekend. I have been working from home for past 10 years, so I have a routine. Here are a best five things I noticed about me during this lockdown period.

    1. Appreciate the time I get to spend time with my daughter who is turning 9 the coming week.
    2. Keeping cool and not fretting about how my living room looks. I believe now it looks very much lived in now than earlier.
    3. I realized that I can do without a help to dust, sweep and Scour the floor.
    4. Enjoyed baking as it is very therapeutic. Now teaching my kid the basics of baking and trying out new recipes together.
    5. I love to read and there is a big pile of books lying idle. Now I am taking time to read them. Currently reading Fluffy and Me by Anita Krishnan. Actually bought it for my daughter.
    I love to live in the present, without thinking much about the past and future. I realized it gives me both mental peace and physical health.

  8. Now Preetiji this is an arduous task that you have given me.Its so easy to elucidate and eulogize others (if they deserve it).
    Like its easy to describe you as a smart,confident, intelligent lady with a plethora of skills and a prolific writer and artist.
    But it becomes a tad difficult
    to self -eulogize
    1) Emotional (and an emotional fool sometimes)
    2)Never feel lonely ,I kind of enjoy my company but am certainly not a hermit.
    3)Have learnt to fight and win .Coz I was born with severe asthama but came back strong each time.
    4)Pretty decent with my core work of investments.(Learnt it for over 12 yrs and made few mistakes also )
    5)Can't think of more.....
    Lots of Respect to you 🙏🙏

    1. I think we have been constantly told "Others should speak good of you, you shouldn't etc etc. Hence it becomes difficult for us to speak about ourselves. For your 5th point, I will fill it for you: You are kind and have a large heart.Lots of ❤️to you!

  12. Ashok Sharma here
    I am going through a very difficult phase of my life as I lost my life partner more than a month ago.. I still try to stay calm and I would like to say that I am an early riser for the past two decades.. After getting up I drink 6 glasses of water in empty stomach. This is my first quality that I continue even now.
    Listening to music for relaxation and exercise for 20 minutes This is my second quality Cooking and experimenting with new dishes is my third quality. Reading the news paper and magazines and books are my fourth quality . Have an early light dinner at least two hours before sleeping and sleeping for a minimum of 6 hours or more is my fifth and final quality.. Really enjoying reading your daily blogs..

  13. 1) I love myself for just the way I'm and I dont care what people think of me.
    2) I care a lot for people I truly love (not way too much to make them feel sudfocated).
    3) I give valuable advices and motivation to people who need my help and most of advices have helped them.
    4) I have good sense of humour and also sarcastic/ savage in nature (when required)
    5) I smile almost all the time despite what all I'm going through for my happiness and also my smile can make others smile too.

  14. When I was a child, I used to maintain a journal and write in it everyday. I may have skipped my favorite TV Show, but I would never miss writing an entry in my Journal. I had the one with a small lock and key and would hide it in my barbie suitcase in my closet! After I grew up, I could not maintain a Journal as I would be busy with other activities.

    Here are 5 Things I would like to share about myself:
    1. I have become more responsible.
    2. I help my mom out with the daily chores.
    3. Books that were bought and not read are being read and it is nice to sit in my room and read.
    4. I try to message friends and relatives to find out if they are doing okay or not.
    5. I spend less time on Social Media.
