Letter from us to you--One (Emotional Pain)

My LO ...you are growing up fast..

It's being difficult keeping pace and match up to your speed of growing..

Like any other parent, me and your Pappu always wish that you don't have to face any difficulties in life and life treat you well...But more than that we want you to be able to brace life with open arms....

You are ten years old now.. This is the time when you are not a toddler but you are not an adolescent too..... Till now you were well protected under our wings... but now you want to flutter your little wings ... you will start taking small flights and then the wonderful day will come when you will fly into this vast sky.. to explore this beautiful world with your own eyes...

But before that let's talk about some things that we want to tell you.....

Let's talk about Pain ... Pain is inevitable.. its part of life... be it physical or emotional...

We wish... you learn to keep physical and emotional pains separate.. you understand that these are mutually exclusive

If we hurt ourselves physically...its not necessary that we feel down ... we can still laugh, be happy ...provided our jaws are not hurt


Treat the body and mind separately..

Take care of the body parts which are hurt, eat healthy, honestly give them extra rest..

Tell that body part to heal fast and heal well.... brain hears our whispers and works towards fulfilling our wishes...

And if the pain is emotional...if heart is broken...

Don't act like a patient.. we are not ill... body can do its work.. we can exercise more so that more Endorphins are released and the depression, stress is reduced..

We can eat healthy... once in a while we can eat our favourite junk food too, to make ourselves happy ...but we don't need to binge

We can spend more time with family and friends .. they are our support system..

We can learn some new things... that way we can meet new people.. we can increase our skills ..

Read motivational books.. follow our passion... revive our hobbies

Life is beautiful...there is so much to do... don't make such accidents rule our lives..

Cry if need be ..its OK to cry... its OK to sulk for a while...seek help.. but don't depend on anybody for your happiness...

You will always be there for you.. you are your best friend...Life doesn't stop at a point, it keeps going..

Be Safe Be Happy Darling!!!!
