Subject line could wait, but this couldn't
because you NEED this right now...
Hey pookies! Wassup...
There’s something about writing that makes me feel like I’m on track, not just in writing, but in life.
It’s how I untangle the messy knots inside my head after a long day.
(Also, my chai obsession is becoming a personality trait at this point. Send HELP)
Lately, I’ve realised this, an empty mind is a genius’s workshop.
Yes, a genius, not a devil.
I’ve been home, doing absolutely nothing that would be considered “productive” by society.
But my ideas are off the charts.
And guess what? Science backs this too: boredom fuels creativity.
When your mind isn’t constantly reacting, it starts creating.
So here’s me, dumping everything I’ve realised lately:
Patterns, People, and Problems. All Connected.
People don’t behave randomly.
It usually comes from deeper patterns, past traumas, unmet needs, unresolved fears, or even forgotten childhood dreams.
Like how my mom used to get mad at dad for obsessing over the tiniest, most irrelevant problems... while ignoring the bigger messes.
Until we realised, solving things gives him a kick. That was his big thing.
People aren’t always logical. They’re patterned.
The Reason You’re Frustrated is You.(mostly)
Let’s be honest, most of our frustration doesn’t come from external things.
It comes from what we didn’t do.
That reel you didn’t shoot.
That wardrobe you didn’t clean.
You knew you had to. And you didn’t.
That’s when the self-crankiness creeps in.
You’re not pissed for no reason, your guilt just put on a hoodie and called itself “a bad mood”, when the real reason was “inaction”
[Managers and their behavior is an exception here tho]
If You Had a Magic Wand, Would You Even Know What to Wish For?
We all want clarity. We all want life to be “figured out.”
But if I gave you a magic wand right now, and said wish for anything, would you even know what to ask?
Chances are, you wouldn’t.
Because most of the time, it’s not the thing we want. It’s the feeling behind it.
"Just Do It" Is a Survival Strategy.
Your mind loves comfort zones because leaving them shakes your identity.
But here’s the deal, if you already know something is right for you, no amount of overthinking will make it more right.
You don’t need another reason. You need movement.
Even when your brain is feeding you all the excuses, justifications, and delays.
Just do it.
Do the opposite.
No drama. No analysis.
It’s like splashing ice-cold water on yourself in winter. You don’t sit there evaluating the temperature.
You just do it.
Just. Freaking. Do. It.
Procrastination Isn’t Laziness. It’s Fear dressed up.
I used to think I procrastinated because I was lazy.
Until I realised, I don’t delay because I don’t want to do the work. I delay because I’m scared it won’t be good enough.
That reel needs to be perfect.
That email needs to sound smart.
So I wait. And wait. And wait.
But unless I address that fear, the delay never ends.
Next time you catch yourself procrastinating, ask yourself:
Am I lazy, or just scared?
A Little Comparison Never Hurt Anyone
Yes, comparison can be toxic.
But sometimes? Seeing someone else ace what you’ve been avoiding?
It’s the nudge you needed.
We all need that little push.
And sometimes, comparison is that push.
And Lastly...
Talking to ChatGPT might just fix your life.
Okay okay, I’m kidding...
Or am I?
You tell me.
Until next time,
Stay bored. Stay brilliant.
Signing off,
Kritika
P.S: I bought myself this yesterday and I couldn’t be happier, prolly this is where ALL my money goes
