Guilt

Leave a comment

Hi everyone, hope you are doing well. Prayers for my readers who consciously make effort for their healing and well-being. Today we will be exploring another unhealthy negative emotion. This emotion can be very destructive and lead to self-harm as well. This emotion is linked with the emotion we discussed earlier in the articles, that is depression and anxiety. 

This negative emotion is called Guilt. It is wishful thinking that you could turn back the clock to change the outcome of few decisions you made in past. It makes you go through the loop of regret and remorse. What if I tell you that it is possible to release yourself from the guilt and restore your inner sense of peace? To release guilt we need to understand what guilt is and how it is created.

Guilt 

Guilt is an unhealthy negative emotion that carries this belief that something you have done has caused harm and distress to other person or people. It is a cycle of negative thinking in which we are unable to forgive ourselves for some action or behavior. So we beat ourselves up with the feeling of remorse and regret. 

Difference between guilt and shame

We earlier also explored the feeling of shame. People confuse shame with guilt. Shame is an internally felt emotion triggered by the risk of others finding out something about us and judging us negatively. Whereas guilt is more related to the consequences of actions that we have or have not taken and how these have impinged on others. 

Guilt is such a destructive emotion that has led to serious self-harm as the person sees no way out of the crisis of the guilt they have created. 

Let’s explore the top 5 common guilt triggers 

  1. Relationship Guilt: This may include one party having an affair or affairs often unknown to others. Spending too much time at work and not managing time with loved ones. Not visiting or keeping contact with an elderly person or relative who subsequently dies.
  2. Financial Guilt: Due to financial issues it leads us to make extremely poor decisions with disastrous consequences. 
  3. Abuse Guilt: You may feel guilty for not stopping or intervening in a past situation where someone close to you was being abused. 
  4. Accident Guilt: This guilt is a belief that you could have avoided some circumstances where another person was seriously injured or died as a result of an accident or mishap. 
  5. Survivor Guilt: This is common to those who survive an accident along with their family members/friends and they pass away. They feel that they could have died and their loved ones could have been alive. 

 

In the next article, we will explore how can we manage our emotion of guilt? So stay tuned and stay strong. 

 

STARTING A HOME BUSINESS AND ITS BENEFITS

Leave a comment

During the Pandemic in 2020, we had no choice but to bid farewell to our daily and regular social and work responsibilities. In short, we all found ourselves spending more time at home with a great deal of free time on our hands. Not only did it give everyone a break but allowed us all a chance to focus on things we never spared time for; it allowed so many women to work on something. A breakthrough came a couple of months after the virus’s outbreak when social media showed a rise in home-based businesses, especially by women. Not only did this give these women a chance to earn but it also gave them a chance to reach their full potential. Here’s why women should take up this excellent opportunity and open a home-based business themselves.

Easily Manageable at Home

With a halt in our daily commute and social obligations, women have the advantage of ample free time on their hands. So, this provides you with the best opportunity to work and plan solely on opening your own business and that too at your own house! You can devise the complete business plan with ease. Now’s the best time! The major benefit is that home-businesses are easy to manage with other personal responsibilities be it academic responsibilities or family related.

Different Experiments

Owing to the free time on account of the pandemic, you can experiment with lots of things. Make a list of all your hobbies and things you’re good at: baking, cooking, art, writing, teaching, embroidery and the list goes on. Try to find something you’d be able to sell and experiment endlessly with it. For example, in the case of baking and cooking it’s possible to experiment with different recipes and different cuisines. Always remember, it’s okay to make mistakes because that’s where you’ll learn the most. In the end, you will be sure of what you want to work on exactly.

 

Be Your Own Boss

The best part is- You are your own boss! You get to decide your working hours, your strategies and everything regarding your business is solely your own choice.

You get to do what you like.

You can do it whenever you want to.

Also, you decide wherever you want to work.

All three things combined will make the work even more exciting. The biggest plus point is that you don’t have to follow anyone else’s orders.

 Passion & Following Your Dream

Running your own business is undoubtedly an excellent way of doing what you love- you get to work on things you are passionate about. Sadly, this can hardly ever be achieved if you work for someone else or some other enterprise. So, with your own startup you can work on your crazy, new and unique ideas and introduce them to the world as well.

Spending Money

Once you establish your own successful start-up, there will inevitably be cash coming in; you will be earning your own hard-earned money. Financial independence is the best gift a woman can give herself and this is an excellent source of achieving that milestone in your life. Consider that extra money a gift from you to yourself and go spend it. Buy that expensive sweater you liked, take yourself out for a fancy lunch, the list can go on. Also, you can always spend the money you earn on re-investing in your business- your own efforts will go on into expanding your enterprise.

Saving Money

One major lesson COVID-19 has taught us is how crucial savings are for a secure future. Thus, with your own business not only do you get to spend on yourself, but you get to build up on your savings. Financial independence followed by financial security gives women a lot more power than even they themselves realize. It will become easier to increase your savings by keeping aside a small proportion of your monthly earnings.

Chances of Growth

We must not forget that large businesses once started small and, in many cases, they started at home. A major example and inspiration can be taken from the brand “Shan Foods” which initially started as a home-based business in 1981 (part of the cottage industry). Today, it is a leading and internationally recognized and in demand brand. Therefore, you must never hesitate to implement your unique ideas as you always have the chance of growing in the future.

Learning Environment

Starting up and running a business provides a learning opportunity and a learning environment. It’s hard to imagine intense learning while you’re at home; but surprisingly you can still learn a lot. The planning and execution of the business venture teaches time discipline as deliveries on time are crucial for your business’s success. Not just that you get to directly interact with your customers and build a healthy work relationship; something impossible otherwise.

You’re an Entrepreneur 

Yes, you get to call yourself an entrepreneur! Never think of yourself as anything less as you completely qualify as one. Fun fact: In the Bollywood movie “English Vinglish”, Sridevi was a housewife who made and sold home-made ‘ladoos’ (sweetmeats) herself and was quite popular for those. However, she never knew or acknowledged the fact that she ran a business until a foreigner told her that she was an ‘entrepreneur’ when she went on a trip abroad. It’s sad how women need to seek external validation to recognize their full potential, but you don’t need any of that. No matter how big or small your business is, you are nothing less than an entrepreneur. Thus, women must never hesitate to call themselves that.

Motivation to work

Besides having all the advantages of running your own business yourself, this also allows you to become a source of motivation for other women around you. With your experiences and expertise, you can fully and completely guide other women who want to take their step towards financial independence but are hesitant to do so. By helping other women around you, indirectly you will be fulfilling a social responsibility. There is nothing better than a more empowered society where women build each other up.

Supporting Others

With financial independence and security comes great benefits to one’s own self but apart from that you get to support and influence plenty of other lives attached to you; you can support your own parents, children etc. without depending on anyone else. You can also play a huge role in influencing the lives of other women by purchasing from their small and newly established businesses. Your small purchase might be insignificant to a large firm but might mean everything to a small business. In your own way, you can play your part in making the world a better place with your little efforts. Your small business can lay the basis of supporting other small businesses around you, especially those run by women.

These are few of the major potential benefits of running one’s own home-based business. We aim to motivate all women to start-up their own entrepreneurship, especially during the current situation. Next up, we will provide a complete guide of how to start a self-run and home-based business. Stay tuned!

All we can do is help each other grow and create a better world. In case you forgot, you know we haven’t that’s exactly what Femmerang is trying to do. We are trying to create a better today for women so we can together create a better tomorrow for ourselves and our families tomorrow.

After everything we have been through we can all learn a little on our wellness team to help us transition into the unknown of the newness of what’s to come. Take advantage of that, please. The team is here for you. Hand-picked by me.

 In the mean time you look after yourselves, ya hear?

Oh, and Happy New Year.

15 Qualities Every Woman Wants In a Man

Leave a comment

1. Ambitiousness:

This Does not necessarily mean money. Ambition means to commit; it means to desire something enough to work hard in its pursuit. Ambition is to crave that thing you desire with zeal and passion. Are we going to spend precious time explaining to our readers why women want someone who has this quality in their lives? It is pretty self-explanatory, is it not? Whether it’s the ambition to run a happy household or make a mark in the professional world, we would not be satisfied with someone who does not want to do the same alongside us.

2. Intelligence: 

Intelligence is sexy. It just is. That’s a universal fact. Intelligence looks good on everyone, man or woman. Try it. 

3.Passion: 

 

Passion for the person they are with, passion for what they do, passion for what they want to do. Passion for their life. Passion is life. Passion is the core of life. There is no life without passion. If the person you are with is not passionate about life, he is living or the project he is involved in, then maybe he is not fully invested in his life. Which means he doesn’t commit to his decisions or doesn’t make the decisions that make him happy. Could you be one of them? You don’t want to be someone’s maybe.

4. Balanced: 

While passion is impressive and extremely important, practicality and balance in what you want to do in life are also important. One can be passionate about helping people, but how you help people has to be something practical and in the realm of reality and possibility. Balance is keeping everything in perspective of the big picture.

5. Supportiveness:

Does he see you? Does he recognize that it’s not all about him and his dreams? He understands that your passions and ambitions are essential, as well. He lets you do you; that’s what a supportive guy would do. That is what a woman needs and should have. This is not a significant demand. This is what everyone in a relationship should do for each other. In fact, this is not even just about two people who are romantically involved. Anyone who cares about another person should be supportive of their loved ones’ ambitions.

6. Romance:

Movie night, a well-timed compliment, chocolate-covered strawberries, a rose, there are so many ways, if you don’t think he knows what you consider romance, tell him what you want.  Telling them is better than not having what you want. 

7. Good listening Skills:

If he is the right person, he will listen. He will pay attention, and he will try to do as you have asked. This is an essential quality. Most decent men are ready to learn how to process information and keep it in their heads. 

8. Hygiene:

Make sure they shower every day. What else? Oh, goodness me, so much more. 

Make sure he is making good use of deodorant and mints. Showering is a must, but if that is something you have to remind him of, his game in the other categories must be very strong. 

9. Reliability:

He should be there. He needs to be there for you, and he needs to be the kind of guy who others can count on as well. His family and friends should vouch for the fact that he is a reliable and trustworthy person. After all, it is not enough that there is only one person that guarantees for him if there is any chance of making a life with anyone; you need to have more people saying the same thing.

10. Faithfulness:

Do we need to say anything else? Faith takes so many forms, doesn’t it? He needs to be faithful to others as well. He needs to show faith in himself and you. He needs to have faith in the relationship you have. He needs to have faith in the world. He needs to have faith in all the good that is all around us. We don’t deserve a loser who is cynical and mistrusts everything either. It’s cool in movies and TV, but in real life, it’s a drag. 

11. Kindness:

Kindness looks good on everyone. You want to be loved with tenderness. You want to do the same for him too. You want a two-way thing. We as women are trained and conditioned to be kind and tender; it would be nice to get that in return. We totally deserve it. Kind is sexy.

12. Confidence:

 

He needs to know who he is, and he needs to be proud of it. Unless he is not sure of himself, he cannot give you what you need. We need a confident, sure-of-himself dude. Confidence is sexy. Sexy is important. 

13. Being Respectful:

Respect me for my opinions and my ideas that are different from yours, and I will love you for it. You will get so much more of me than you can even imagine. If men understood that simple concept, they would have better relationships with women in whatever capacity. RESPECT US.

14. Paying Attention:

 

When we talk, look us In THE EYE. It is that simple. 

15. Focus:

This relates to the above. They need to understand that when they are looking at us while we are giving them our ideas, they shouldn’t be thinking, “let her finish talking so I can tell her what she should ACTUALLy be thinking.” We live in the same world they do. We observe the same things they do. They need to let us tell them what we want our world to look like because we have to live side by side. Sometimes those worlds have to mesh.

 

What do you guys think? Shall we start asking our men to think about these and maybe rethink how they act around us?

Zero Thinking

Hi brave soul. Why did I call you brave? Well, you are brave because of two reasons. Number one for reading articles on mental health. That shows you want to learn about yourself and grow. And second, you identified and thought about the things you are ashamed of. And that’s beautiful. A good start. 

As promised, let’s dig deep to understand how we can manage the emotions of shame?

Whatever you are ashamed of, you need to understand that IT IS AN IRRATIONAL BELIEF that others will discover something negative about you. And also that you must accept their judgment. 

We all that internal critic making us falsely believe that you are a failure, useless, worthless, etc. When happens in shame you believe that others will apply the same. If you believe that you as a human can be rated at all, the trouble begins. 

Self-Acceptance: We need to understand that as humans we all make and will make mistakes. We need to give ourselves room for improvement. That can only happen when we accept the mistake and focus more on ways to improve and channelize our emotions positively. Being over-critical and saying unhealthy sentences to ourselves is waste of time and energy. Say positive things to yourself and think of what steps can be taken to improve. For example, “I am a failure” can be looked at as “I need to work harder” or “I learned something new”. This exercise helps us to create new healthy patterns and opportunities.

Forgiveness: Self-acceptance cannot take place until we forgive ourselves for the mistakes we made. We need to release the baggage of old self and think of how you want to be? And take baby steps to reach that. Set small targets or goals. Create a journal/diary or write on a whiteboard to keep a track of your progress.

Self-Love: When you follow these steps, self-love takes place. As you take care of your emotional, physical, and spiritual needs self-love comes along. The key to self-love is self-discipline. So daily small habits done repeatedly make all the difference.

It’s time for you to create achievable things to do for the next year. This year love yourself better, which will lead to loving others. Which will lead to doing what makes YOU happy and eventually your light will impact others too. Till then keep shining. See you soon. 

 

What Is Shame?

Leave a comment

Hi everyone hopes you are doing well

Today we will shed light on another negative emotion that we can relate to in some phase of our life. Are you prone to being affected by what others, in your mind, think of you as a person, but you would love to learn otherwise?.

Well, let me tell you that YES it is possible.

For that, we first need to understand this emotion. Let me introduce you to the shadowy word SHAME!

What is Shame?

Shame is a deeply felt, painful experience that is socially driven. It’s a feeling in which we believe that we are perceived by others as being unworthy of their respect. This is possible because due to the actions we have personally or as a group taken. Or shame is also a feeling in which we hold ourselves accountable for any internal code we have broken and we judge ourselves or become too critical and hard on ourselves. This is sometimes called internal shame. 

It’s a natural progression to move from depression to shame. Because it’s linked with an irrational belief that I can be measured, rated, or judged by others. 

We are social creatures and we all want and like to be part of a group that accepts us. Therefore we don’t want anyone to find out something unpleasant about us or a situation related to us. 

Let’s find out 

a few causes of shame:

  1. If you have been brought up in a socially deprived area, criminal family history, or domestic or family violence. 
  2. You may be ashamed of your body. Ashamed what others will think about your appearance.
  3. You may find yourself in debt, bad financial standing, ashamed of your financial decisions. And hiding from your partner, family, friends, etc.
  4. You might be a victim of social media trolling or shaming.
  5. You may be a victim of sexual abuse, sexual assault, rape, domestic abuse, or violence.
  6. You may be a couple with infertility issues. 
  7. You may be struggling with loneliness. And not found your partner and ashamed what others will think that why I am not married. 
  8. You may be struggling with mental health problems like OCD, depression. Bipolar etc.
  9. You may be suffering from social anxiety. What others will think if I mess up the presentation etc.
  10. You may be struggling with a hidden addiction to alcohol, drugs, etc.

These were just a few of the experiences people are ashamed of. Please write to us and share if you are brave enough to let out what you are ashamed of? As in the next article, we will explore how we can manage our emotions of shame. Till then stay strong.

Hi everyone, how are my strong and resilient followers doing? Hope you are doing well. And if you are not, it’s okay. It’s completely fine. And if no one has said it to you, you should know that I am super proud of you. I am, genuinely! 

Can you believe that we are finally entering the last month of 2020? This month has been super crazy no? We all have experienced the news of death, to the news of the birth of a newborn baby. To the news of separation to the news of corona weddings, to the news of people starting their own business to the news of how belongings of people were damaged in the rain. To the people of all age groups enjoying the rain to experiencing the damaged roads in the city. We all had different struggles but this year was all about taking good with bad. It was all about learning how to balance. 

In previous articles, we discussed emotions, understood what is self-healing to understanding different types of negative emotions. We dived deep into anxiety and its types, to panic attacks, phobias and its type to cognitive distortions to depression and learning about CBT and how to apply it. You have come so far! Did you take a moment to appreciate yourself? Did you pause for a moment and gave credit to yourself how far you have come? If not so please do it right now! As we will not proceed. 

Here are the following sentences you have to say to yourself ATLEAST three times before we discuss other negative emotions.

  1. I am healing
  2. I will let go of all the ill feelings
  3. I will rise
  4. I am enough 
  5. I choose myself
  6. I believe in myself 
  7. I will not give up on myself
  8. I am consistent in developing healthy habits  
  9. Self-discipline is self-love

SAY IT LIKE YOU MEAN IT!

This is your first step towards self-love. Make a habit to say these words to yourself every time you get up. Okay?

Lots of love and prayers for you, keep swimming as in the next article we will touch on a little heavy and difficult negative emotion. And what is that? For that, you need to read the next article.

 

Holiday Reads 2020

Leave a comment

Watched all the holiday movies we recommended? Wanna switch to reading now but don’t know which book to pick up next? Worry not! We’ve got you covered. 

Below is a rather unusual list of holiday reads. Let us know @femmerang if you read any of them! 

1. Wonder by R. J. Palacio

Christmas is all about love, hope, acceptance, and Wonder manages to convey all these messages through one novel. A heartwarming story about a young boy and his struggles due to his rare facial deformation, this book will bring tears to your eyes while making you count your blessings. Also, it will teach you to never judge people based on their looks, as we are unaware of what they are facing or who they truly are. 

 

P.S: There’s a movie adaptation by the same title, which you can watch after completing the book too!

2. If I stay by Gayle Forman

Ever read a book narrated by a dead person? If not, then this is your time to do so. 

If I stay, a book about choices, whether to stay or to leave this world, will put you in a dilemma too. Should Mia’s subconsciously alive self decide to fulfill commitments with her love interest, Adam, and come back to life or join her parents and little brother in heaven (supposedly) after a brutal car accident? It’s her decision to make. This book is capable of making you experience life in between the two worlds. 

 

P.S: There is a movie of this one too, in case you haven’t watched!

3. The Beginning Of The World In The Middle Of The Night by Jen Campbell:

Although the title is very long, surprisingly, the book is quite short. Based on multiple short stories, this book will give you another perspective about fairytales and renowned myths. 

“But what if Jack took those magic beans and planted them inside himself, instead?”

Interweaving stories we all grew up with, with contemporary era, Campbell’s unconventional style of story telling makes it a compelling, exciting and cheerful read. 

 

P.S: How beautiful is that cover. An element from each short story has been illustrated inside the heart – so clever!

4. Caraval by Stephanie Garber:

What’s festivity without some carnival-ish feel? The magical Caraval is an escape from cruel realities of Scarlett and Dontella Dragna. A life-long dream, which might turn into a nightmare; a mere game that would cost someone their life, and a search that might end with a thrilling revelation. There is just so much to explore in 450-pages.

P.S: Especially recommended for those who have read and enjoyed The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern.

5. A Pocket Full Of Rye by Agatha Christie:

The Queen of Crime, Agatha Christie, is your perfect pick for the year-end. Indulge yourself into the crazy case of rye, found in the pockets of Mr. Fortescue, who has been murdered using taxine. This Miss Marple mystery is a definite page-turner that will keep you hooked till the very end and shock you when the killer is unveiled. Inspired by a nursery rhyme, A Pocket Full of Rye, is a case where you will doubt everyone’s intentions. 

Will the most unlikely person turn out to be guilty or was it Mr. Fortescue’s past that was haunting him? Read to know!  

Bonus Agatha Christie recommendation (in case you cannot get enough of her writing): 

 

Appointment with death – Mrs. Boynton, a controlling woman is found dead while vacationing with her family. Her demise is not mourned by anyone rather turns out to be emancipation from her dominance. 24 hours to solve the case. That is it. And Hercule Poirot, the famous Belgium detective is on it. Will he be successful in revealing who committed this heinous crime?

Lessons from Kashf’s last episode

Leave a comment

Just when we felt the drama was being dragged, Kashf left us speechless with a heartbreaking yet meaningful end. Here are some of our favorite dialogues and instances from the finale.

P.S: For everyone not familiar with the story, the drama revolves around the life of a pious girl, Kashf, who realized her dreams were predictions of the future, leading her greedy family to use this gift for their benefit and earn money from telling others their future. 

1. ‘Hota wohi hai, jo Khuda chahta hai’

During the final meeting of Kashf & Wajhdaan, on the rooftop, this one-liner was Kashf’s response to all his complains. We see Wajhdaan, who was now showing symptoms of developing a mental disorder, repeating this phrase continuously (emphasizing upon the message of the drama serial). A profound dialogue that beautifully sums up our lives (and the entire play too – at the end of the day, everything aligned with Kashf’s dreams, in other words, God’s will). 

2. Kashf’s final advice to her ‘mureeds’


The last message of Kashf to everyone who visited the aastana for the last time was to pray (‘namaz parho’) and ask God (‘dua maango’) directly, as he listens to everyone. The whole plot was based around Kashf being a mediator between God and his people but she implicitly discloses that God has a direct connection with his creation and this culture (portrayed in the show) should not be promoted.

3. Warning to Zoya 

After Zoya (Kashf’s sister) succeeds in marrying Wajhdaan, by wrong means, Kashf warns her that everyone will be left empty handed at the end of the day (‘kisi ke haath kuch nahi ayega’). Despite getting what Zoya desperately wanted, the drama teaches us that one can never find true happiness and peace by obtaining something by hurting others or conspiring against them.

4. Kashf’s peaceful death

The death scene made everyone shed tears with brilliant performance by Hira Mani. The episode began as a preparation of a believer’s death, who had surrendered to God. She offered fajar, wore itar, drank Aab-e-Zam-Zam (holy water) and died in sujood, while offering prayers. A perfect conclusion to the show!

How did you all like the end of Kashf? Let us know @femmerang on Instagram.

What Is The SBT Technique?

Leave a comment

Hi, hope all of you all are doing well and taking care of your mental health. We have covered lot of topics so far. Let’s have a brief recap on it. Well so far we have understood mental health and emotional healing, we discussed what are emotions and different types of emotions. Later we touched upon what is anxiety and types of anxieties and what are phobias and types of phobias. I also hope that you have managed to do the small assignments that were given for yourself reflection and awareness. Now it’s time to dive into the process of identifying the problem on a deeper level.

As promised that I will discuss ways of healing. And one of the most effective ways of healing is to apply the CBT technique in your life. 

So what is?

 What is the CBT technique?

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychological treatment. It helps us identify our problem by breaking it down into three steps which enables us to identify our

Thoughts

Actions 

And feelings

It is based on two simple concepts that our thoughts influence our emotions and our emotions influence behavior. So what we think affects what we feel and do in life. Also what happens to us in life doesn’t matter but how we choose to interpret it.

Albert Ellis is the great psychotherapist who came up with the ABC model.

The ABC model

A Stands for ‘activating event’. That event can be external, either present or future, or even an internal one. It refers to an event that triggers a chain of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. 

For example, I love a man and his family finally sent theproposal to my house and they are coming to meet me. What will happen? What if they reject me? I would feel like a failure if they do.

B stands for “belief”. The beliefs or the demands we hold about ourselves or others hold about us. These can be rational or irrational.

What will my parents think and feel they reject me? They must like me. I must not be rejected. 

C stands for consequences. It is an all-inclusive term that can include emotional and physical experiences and especially the behavioral responses that result from A and B.

Difficulty in sleeping, fatigue, the tension in muscles. 

I hope that you have developed some basic understanding of the CBT technique. How about you apply this technique? It is an important exercise towards self-healing. I am attaching a link of a worksheet that will help you to apply this technique in your daily life. If you are mother it’s

a request to do this exercise with your children. 

 

https://www.therapistaid.com/worksheets/cbt-for-kids.pdf

 

 In the next article, we will explore CBT differently. We will discover the types of unhealthy beliefs we hold about ourselves which automatically reflects in our actions. Till then take care and don’t forget to apply CBT technique.
