Don’t Ignore Your Desire to Cry – Embrace Your Emotions Openly

January 22, 2015 by Priyanka Leave a Comment

I want to share with you what happened to me earlier this week. I threw on my gym clothes and slipped my ear phones into my ears and played a song on my iPhone. It was a melodious, but intense, sad song. All of a sudden, my eye liner became messed up around my eyes. I couldn’t stop crying.

Embrace Your Dark Parts and Emotions

I didn’t completely understand the impulse. That day, I had felt my chest become heavy. I had sensed my mood dipping.

Don’t Ignore Your Impulses

But that song had triggered something hidden deep in my heart. The old me would have tried to stop crying, dusted myself off, and pranced off to the gym. I would have behaved like nothing happened.

But this time, I didn’t. I felt my emotion fully. I cried for a full half an hour. I cried in the car on the way to the gym.

Own All Your Emotions – Including Your Darkness

When you feel like crying, give yourself the space and liberty to feel the emotion. It’s easy to feel feelings of happiness and other positive feelings. But being a human being, you won’t feel that way all the time.

Own all your emotions. Embrace even your dark emotions. Let them flow out of you and love every part of you because they are equally a part of you.

Shine Your Light

You can’t disconnect from that part of you. They exist just like the light and beauty exist within you. Don’t be ashamed, but love them even more. There is a purpose to them and will show you how to shine your inner light even more brightly.

Come From a Place of Acceptance About Where You Are Now

January 21, 2015 by Priyanka Leave a Comment

When you want to get somewhere, you’re not seeing what you have now. It’s because you’re feeling impatient and frustrated. You want to skip the process and jump to the outcome.

Find Peace in the Process

Be Patient

But there is a reason why you are where you are right now. And there is a reason for why you will get wherever you want to get. It takes time for your vision to come to fruition.

Instead of rushing, be patient and find peace in the process. The present moment is the best and most beautiful moment you have. Make the most of that.

Trust and Surrender

Trusting the process is not easy because it’s not easy living in the unknown. But the truth is that your vision manifests in mysterious and intriguing ways beyond your imagination. For that to happen, you must give space for your vision to blossom on its own. And for that, you must surrender fully.

Don’t Rush to the Outcome

The reason why you may want to rush to the outcome is because the outcome feels like something solid. It is real, tangible, and certain. It’s a reality you can grasp and see and that makes you feel happier and more secure.

But this means you’re linking your happiness to an outcome…to your external world. Instead of relying on the outcome to make you happy and striving to do more, find joy and happiness in the journey.

Let it unfold moment by moment.

Chicken Soup for the Soul Friday – Queen

January 19, 2015 by Priyanka Leave a Comment

Here is a Chicken Soup for the Soul Friday from my earlier blog:

Women Empowerment and Queen Film: Kangana Ranaut

“I saw the movie Queen twice. In the movie theater. The coming-of-age movie with Kangana Ranaut who was absolutely fabulous in the movie. In a nutshell, the coming-of-age movie is about a Delhi girl who decides to travel to Europe on her honeymoon alone after her fiance walks out of the marriage two days before the wedding.

From beginning to end, the movie made me and everyone else in the theater laugh and cry. Later in the movie, her fiance decides to give their marriage another shot. But in the ending, when she returns to India as a changed person, she gives back the engagement ring to her possessive, controlling fiance, claiming her identity.

The whole audience then erupted in applause at the theater. I was really surprised because the audience was mixed, with families, couples, and youngsters. I was happy that a story about a simple girl coming into her own touched people’s hearts. It made me proud that we were becoming progressive and understanding that a woman has an identify of her own besides being a mother, sister, or wife.” – Priyanka

Love is a Choice that You Make Every Single Day

January 19, 2015 by Priyanka 1 Comment

If I had to pick one lesson I learned through my dating and relationships, I would say: Love is A Choice. Yes, love just happens and you can’t control who you fall in love with. But after that, to continue to be in love is not some random, serendipitous occurrence. It’s a freaking choice.

Love is a Choice We Make

Love is A Choice – More Than a Feeling

Once you fall in love, it’s a choice to be with each other. I remember not getting a phone call or hearing from him as I usually did and it made me jittery. I witnessed the same in my friends. What if scenarios would start playing in our heads. He would call and then I would be fine. Next week, I was back to feeling insecure and jittery.

It’s when I realized that though anything can happen and it’s a gigantic chance two people are taking with each other, it’s ultimately a choice they are making to be with each other. To be together. To spend time together. To take time out to be intrigued by one another. To do something different every week so you can keep the excitement churning.

Why would two people do these things? Because they want to be together. And that’s a choice.

Love is a Journey, Not a Destination

Anything can happen any day to any couple or relationship. I hear people cite the divorce statistic that more than 50 % of marriages are falling apart in modern day America all the time. But what about the other 50 % of couples? There are plenty of couples who are happily married and retaining their individuality, yet we don’t hear enough about these couples.

Love is a journey after all, not a destination. Loving yourself and someone else requires a commitment to do it every moment.

6 Ways to Dress Sexy for Him and Grab His Attention!

January 8, 2015 by Priyanka Leave a Comment

Dressing sexy is super fun and a great way to get your guy’s attention. It doesn’t matter if you have been with your boyfriend for several years or just started dating him.

Dress Sexy for Him

Here are six easy, yet sexy tips to seduce him!

Leave Something to the Imagination

Select an outfit that covers most of your body, but leaves some skin showing. You can wear a top that shows off your neck and collar bone area. Or reveals a hint of your chest. You can wear an outfit that shows off your gorgeous legs.

Wear Soft Fabrics

A woman’s skin is soft and it’s one of the biggest turn ons for a man. Wear a dress or shirt that is soft and feminine, so when he touches your arm or shoulder, it leaves him wanting more. It causes him to marvel and wonder…

Wear Net Material or Shirts or Dresses that are Partially See Through

I love net dresses or dresses made from a type of sheer material. I notice whenever I wear them, their eyes are focused right on me. It’s also a very elegant and classy way to exude sensuality.

Don’t Try Too Hard

Dressing sexy obviously comes through the selection of clothes that hugs your curves in all the right places. But it’s also about the attitude and persona you give off. Be natural.

Wear Killer Heels

Sometimes, all an outfit needs is a real sexy pair of heels. I have a collection of heels. Love wearing them! It always gets me noticed by men.

Be Confident

Most of all, no matter what you wear, be confident! That will be noticed more than anything else.
