As a woman, I know the upheavals a woman goes through. Crest and trough are part of our lives. We often may consider it a result of the circumstances, but generally, it has more to do with our mental state. Have you experienced the days when there is a bounce in your feet, and you find yourself humming and smiling? And then there are also the days when you feel lonely, exhausted and unmotivated? There is not much change in your surroundings or circumstances, but there is definitely a change in your attitude. And that’s where the key is!

I am no expert in telling how to deal with those low days, but I am a woman, and I have experienced those days, and I would certainly like to share what helps me.

Acceptance.

One word, but it does wonder while dealing with the emotional ebbs.

• Accept that there will be days when you will feel low, and those days will pass.
• Accept that your life, preferences, and circumstances are different from others, and you are not supposed to compare yourself with anyone but yourself.
• Accept that you can not change people’s behaviour or circumstances, but you may have complete control over how you react to them. And that alone can turn the table.
• Accept that perfection is unattainable. Focus on being the better version of yourself.
• Accept that the most significant relationship in your life is your relationship with yourself. Keep working on it. Don’t be harsh to yourself.
• Accept that you can not keep everyone happy around you. It’s exhausting and elusive. So focus on keeping yourself happy. Remember that only an illuminated candle can chase the dark.
• Accept that sometimes it’s ok to take a break. It’s necessary to rejuvenate your mind and body.
• Accept that no matter how hard you try, sometimes things will get out of your hand, and it’s not your fault. Stop blaming yourself.
• Accept that you are not perfect. People around you are not perfect. We are meant to make mistakes. Learn from your mistakes and move on. I may tell you all these things, but it doesn’t mean I don’t mess up. But I have learned not to make it a big deal.
• Accept that you need a medium to release your emotions. Find a hobby for yourself. It can be anything: painting, dancing, yoga, meditation, writing, gardening, teaching etc. Take some time from your busy schedule and do this one thing for yourself that makes you happy. It’s the most constructive way to channel your emotions.

And last, be supportive to other women– Be it in your workplace or home. Don’t judge them for their imperfections or incompetence. Maybe they are going through one of those low phases. Before I end, let me tell you a tested and tried tip which will help you stay young and effervescent. Keep learning new things. Trust me, as long as you have desire to learn something new, you are young.
