The pioneer of client-centred therapy, Carl Rogers (1951), thought that treating clients in a continuous warm, supporting, and highly attentive manner would allow them to grow psychologically and alleviate their suffering.

Affirmations are positive remarks that can assist us in overcoming self-defeating and negative thinking. Both our perception and experience of ourselves and the world around us are shaped by our thoughts and beliefs.
Positive affirmations are used to tell ourselves that things are going well, even if we don't feel that way at the moment.
Self-affirmation may also help to reduce stress's effects. A short affirmation exercise improved the problem-solving abilities of "chronically stressed" subjects to the same level as those with low stress, according to one study[1].

Imagine listening to a recording of whining, complaints, and criticisms for the entire day. What many people don't realize is that they are constantly listening to these kinds of thoughts in their heads. We may think statements like "I'm not good at anything," "Life is hard," or "People can't be trusted" so often that we accept them as realities and stop questioning the possibility that things could be different.

Positive thoughts can eventually change your brain habits, making negative thoughts less noticeable. The more you can choose your thoughts intentionally, the better your life will be.
Some statements are:
• I am deserving of love.
• I accept and love myself just as I am (for healthy relationships with others, one must first establish healthy connections with themselves).
• I forgive myself and have a compassionate attitude toward myself (Forgiveness can release us from the responsibilities of the past and allow us to start over).
• I respect myself and accept that I did the best I could in the past.
• My life has meaning, purpose, and passion to it.
• I have the courage and tenacity to overcome any challenge I face.

Good day, everyone!
We faced several issues in 2020-21, but one of the most critical was our mental health. Stigma and discrimination, according to nearly nine out of ten people with mental health difficulties, can have a negative influence on their lives. It can exacerbate their problems and make recovery more difficult. Mental health issues are quite prevalent. However, the stigma and discrimination they face from society, their families, friends, and workplaces worsens their problems. We are an online platform dedicated to raising mental health awareness.

Our unconscious mind shapes and constructs the more complete picture we consciously perceive in all of our perceptions, from vision to hearing to the understanding we build of people's personalities. To offer us this more complete picture, our unconscious employs clever tricks and educated guessing to fill in the blanks.
The tendency to focus on looks and bodies instead of their character traits or abilities — even in situations where looks should not matter — is quite widespread. Men, as well as women, tend to establish the worth of individuals primarily by the way their body looks, research shows. People especially women are aware this is the case and also derive their sense of value from the way they look. This affects their self-confidence, task focus, and performance, even on tasks unrelated to their looks.

The word 'behenji' means "elder sister." It is frequently used in India to show respect for a woman. However, the word 'behenji' has now become a derogatory term. It's now associated with a "simple-looking" woman who isn't cool enough to be called a fashionista.
It seems like modernism is only limited to looks and clothes for many people. It’s time that girls start appreciating and respecting their bodies.
Women have come a long way by breaking many of our conservative society's prejudiced and demeaning rules. What is the point of repeating the same mistake and succumbing to the same judgement in modern society?
