7 Things We All Want To Tell Our Parents But We Don't!

We all know that our parents love us ardently. We also know that there’s nothing that we cannot share with them thinking they won’t understand.
But even then, there are certain things that we tend to hide from them because we don’t know with certainity, how they will react. Due to this fear, we keep things to ourselves and wonder how it would be if we could tell them everything.

Well, I don’t know when you will get the courage to tell them whatever you feel, but I have figured out a few of those things that most of us want to tell our parents

Let’s see if yours is listed among these 7 things.
1. We hate it when they pressurize us to study.

 We know that our parents are worried about our future for our betterment, but they are hurting us in the process, while doing so.

Already the pressure of clearing exams and scoring well is too high and in such situations, our minds are just not capable of dealing with the additional burden of expectations that comes from our parents; it just makes it worse for us.

2. We don’t like how they have so many expectations from us.

It’s understandable that we are their kids and they want us to behave in a certain manner, but we have our own life too.

Whether it is about our career or our love life, we want to choose it on our own and not as per our parents’ expectations.

3. We want to be something other than what they want.

 

 No, we don’t want to be a doctor, engineer, teacher or get an MBA because they want us to be, we will if that's where our passion truly lies.

What's the harm if we turn out photographers, dancers, writers and other things that help us bring out the best of our creativity. Only if all parents could understand that.

4. We want to talk about our love life.

 Wouldn't it be amazing if we could actually tell them about the person we like and who we are dating? After all, shouldn't they be the first ones to know what is going on in our lives and help deal with our problems should we run into a few?

We want to live in a world where we can pick a person to date and be transparent about it with our parents and not have them wonder about what society would think.

5. We need our space too.

We know that we are lucky to have a family and we cherish every single moment we spend with them. But there comes a time when we want a little privacy and space and we hesitate in asking for the same. How I wish we could!

6. We get drunk and wild.

 

Who wouldn’t want to tell all their drunk and wild stories to their parents? Unfortunately, if we ever tell them, we know the consequences won’t be in our favour, huh?

In an ideal world, we wouldn't even mind drinking with our parents, would we?

 7. How much we love them.

We live in a time where none of us are as expressive as we should be towards our parents. That’s why we don’t even remember the last time we said ‘I love you’ to them. Well, you can say this now!

8 Pressure Points That Will Reduce Your Stress In Seconds

We all have our ways of dealing with stress. Some people escape to a sunny beach, some prefer a nice glass of wine, and others even do their best to ignore it. Each way has its advantages (and sometimes disadvantages), but we can’t always do what helps at the exact moment we need to. This is where pressure points become a quick and effective long-term solution. Pressure points are areas in the body that can trigger various effects in our bodies and minds when pressure is applied to them.

 The Scalp is full of pressure points, many that can effectively and discretely reduce stress levels. You can sit at your office desk, lean back and use two fingers to massage the point where the neck meets the skull for about 20 seconds. Much of the stress we accumulate during the day collects in the shoulders and neck muscles, and applying pressure to this point can relieve much of it.

 The Ear

 

This pressure point is known as Shen Men (The Spirit Gate), and some experts claim it’s the best stress-relieving point in the body. In reflexology, it’s also used to reduce inflammation and pain throughout the body. It’s recommended that you massage this spot with a cotton bud or even a pen, and to take deep, slow breaths during the massage.

The Chest

 

Stress can make us forget to breathe, or take shallow breaths. This point helps reduce the stress that accumulates in your chest, while reminding you to breathe normally again. Use three fingers to massage this point, or one finger to tap rhythmically on the area while taking deep breaths. If you experience chronic stress, combine massaging this point with the point between your eyebrows. The connection between these two points helps to calm the nervous system.

The Stomach

Many reflexologists prefer to use this point because it helps create movement that frees the chest and diaphragm, which improves the breathing process. Patients who have this treatment instinctively take deeper breaths and almost always report a sensation or relief.  

The Forearm

This is a classic spot for reflexology and acupuncture. Stress and anxiety create reverse energy flow in the body, which this spot is supposed to repair. It helps your energy to move in the right direction while aiding your mental focus and reducing stress.  

The Palm

The moment you press on this spot, you’ll feel your stress evaporating. It is located on one of the most important meridians (an energy channel), which affects the heart, liver, and pancreas. It is believed that much of the stress we experience is stored in the liver, so applying pressure on this point is highly effective. It is also a great spot for treating headaches, stomachaches, indigestion, and insomnia – all of which could be symptoms of stress.

The Calves

If you feel stress in the upper part of your body, massaging this spot is perfect. The area could be quite tender in people who deal with a lot of stress, and in women in particular. 

The Foot

Pressure on this point can help ease a stressed mind that keeps rethinking whatever it is that causes your stress. Some reflexologists believe that this is the best meridian for treating the pancreas and that its location, in the center of the foot, helps patients reduce stress and provide better attention to their bodies.

How To Increase Positive Energy In Your House

1) Open all windows in the house and allow fresh air and sunshine to enter the house. Free flowing air and sun are negative energy removers. 

2. Dispose of all the old unwanted things lying in the house. Clutter is a negativity magnet. It attracts and accumulates negative energy in the house.

 3). Walking barefoot in the house helps all your negative energy to be absorbed by the earth.

 Grounding is important to keep the energy balance in our body. 

 4) In the olden days, footwears were kept out of the house. People used to enter the house only after washing feet with water. This action ensures that all the negativity remains outside or are grounded by earth and does not enter the house. Now it has become difficult to keep the footwear outside. So preferably remove them near the entrance door.

 5) Go out in the open air. Take walks in the garden or open ground. Being amongst nature re-energizes or charges you fully.

 6) Sweeping the floor also ensures that the negative energies are shaken and moved out with the dirt.

 7) Rock salt is another negativity remover. Wash or mop your floor with a fistful rock salt in a bucket of water. This ensures that every nook and corner of the house is rid of negative energy.

 8) Potted plants or trees around your house or society also ensures more positive energy in the house and area.

 9) Bathing or Soaking your legs and hands in rock salt water once in a while removes the negativity attached to your body and cleanse your aura.

 11) Repetition of Prayers, increases the positive vibrations in the house. 100%
 12) Keep your thoughts, action and speech Positive. Negative thoughts will bring in negative vibes. So avoid all negative thoughts, speech and actions.
 13) Keep your house well lit and illuminated. Light removes negativity.

You are the Creator of your own destiny by the Choices you make.
 STAY HAPPY...
