So we wanted to test out the new phone camera and this happened, i.e impromptu Bangalore street photoshoot! Also, how cute is the 🍉 bag?

Psychology of people pleasing: Studies show that being a “people pleaser” often involves low self-esteem, fear of rejection, and a need for acceptance. People pleasers frequently put others’ needs ahead of their own, sometimes sacrificing their well-being. As mentioned in the video, this often starts at childhood, when the child being told that they need to be ‘good to others’ to get their approval. If we dive in deeper, common factors that trigger this in adulthood also include: ▪️Low Self-Esteem: Seeking validation and approval to feel worthy. ▪️Fear of Rejection: Avoiding conflict to prevent disapproval or abandonment. ▪️Childhood Conditioning: Growing up with conditional love can lead to people-pleasing tendencies. ▪️Need for Control: Trying to maintain control by avoiding conflict and keeping others happy. ▪️Empathy and Sensitivity: Highly empathetic individuals often want to alleviate others’ discomfort. ▪️Perfectionism: Overly concerned with how they are perceived, people pleasers aim to be agreeable to avoid criticism. In human psychology, people-pleasing can lead to burnout and resentment. Therapy can help people recognize these behaviors, set boundaries, and develop self-acceptance. #PeoplePleasing #Psychology #SelfEsteem #Rejection #Empathy #Perfectionism #ChildhoodTrauma #Validation #Boundaries #MentalHealth #SelfCare #HumanBehavior #Relationships #Therapy #PersonalGrowth
It’s not easy for men either. And it’s high time we address these issues too if we want to build a world where everyone’s mental health matters and there’s equality for all. The gender norms, the societal standards and prejudice impacts us all. And that includes men. I have seen this happen so many times, men getting judged and hated on for no good reason. Yes women have every reason to be suspicious, but does that allow us to misbehave? Men get targeted all the time too. They get labelled as ‘creeps’ for being too nice. Do you agree? #mensrights #mensmentalhealth #mensmentalhealthawareness #menpsychology #mensrights #notallmen #equalitymatters #equalityforall #equalityforeveryone #humanpsychology #humanpsychologyfacts
Hoping to get a super snatched waistline by New Year’s (or maybe 2026, since 2025 feels too wishful for now 🥲) No, but seriously, been wanting to work on this for AGES! This time, finally on it. Even if it takes me a long long time (which I genuinely think it will), can’t believe I am having so much fun 😀 Never thought it would be this hard though-getting that waistline in shape is BRUTAL! I blame you @agycarvalho5 for the inspo! A little heads-up, esp on all the amazing food I’d have to give up … yea would’ve been nice, before I committed to this goal!) Thanks @shweshetty for the WOD and the guidance 🩶 And @the_physio_nik @jose.shetty_ @getfitwithshetty @santo_athlete @somyarout2806 @kejvarsha @pilateswithaakruti for helping me get stronger! (Yes, it takes a village to keep me going to the gym, but I’ve do have the BEST team of mentors, coaches, trainers!) #bangaloreblogger #bangalore #bengaluru #superwowstyle #indianinfluencer #fitnessjourney #myfitnessjourney #absloading #flatstomachgoals #fitnessgoals #fitnessgoal #bengalurublogger #gymgirl #gymgoals
Psychological trick to: Re-train your brain to make new associations…with things that won’t let you move on. 🤍 Of course this won’t work for serious depression, and may help only slightly if the problem itself is yet to ‘go away’. 🤍 I use this trick frequently to help myself move on faster from situations that no longer persist and of course when my depressive mode isn’t trigged by other factors like ‘hormones’, genetics etc. ❤️🩹 This may seem like ‘over simplifying’ of things, but it does help support the recovery phase tremendously. Other examples: ▪️Rearrange the house furniture if you have been feeling very ‘blah’ at home, and need to refresh your mind. ▪️ Have a friend come over and stay for a few days, to mix up your daily schedule a bit. Especially helps if you are going through a break up or loss. ▪️Pick up a new hobby (can be something simple like cooking, learning from videos online), and dedicate a fixed time everyday to this. Helps tremendously if you have free time…like after office hours when you see your mind wandering off to negative thoughts. Try it out, and restart the new year with me, if you started off on a bad note too! It’s your life, you create your own second chances, find new meanings, redirections and reality if that’s what helps you…that’s the only thing that matters! Here’s wishing all of you a very (late) but happy new year 2025! #positivethinking #posivity #positivevibes #positivepsychology

Christmas decorations finally done! Catch all the drama on my stories/ christmas 2024 highlights 😀 It was a vert last moment decision, I have been feeling so low due to my eye condition… I can’t work, Can’t run (or do anything that might get sweat in my eyes)… Have had to reduce my screen time, Spending hours daily with steam and warm compression that’s peeling off my skin now :/ Such a small thing, that’s stopped my life completely. Plus we have have two surgeries in the family this month, that’s been a different challenge it itself. God knows what get into me yesterday afternoon though, and I decided to not let this ruin my favorite holiday as well. So I got up, quickly put up my tree and decorations. Picked up gifts for Gaurav and Lyra junior and it instantly uplifted my mood, my living room …and thier moods as well! Here’s a little picture I just clicked. Because I am feeling so so happy today! So glad I decided not to let me depressive mood hold me back from having some fun. Love love love christmas! What about you? #merrychristmas #christmas2024
Reposting my last ‘Ask Prachi’ series. Some of you will notice I have removed a few questions, added some and kept a few. Had a long conversation with a friend on this, as she pointed out that some of the content may be against the community guidelines and also that I do have a some underage audience that Instagram will not filter out. Having said that, I do want to continue talking about the stigmatised social issues and encourage open healthy conversions, since that’s the only way to drive a social change – which remains my TOP PRIORITY, there are things I still need to figure out to ensure that I can control who gets access to the more adult conversations. Let me know if you guys have any ideas (separate private account? Paid subscriptions? Anything else?) #humanpsychology #relationships #relationshipgoals #personaldevelopment #lifelessons

Read this somewhere recently, and it really hit home. Treat everything in life as experience. Everything. Nothing belongs to you, nobody is meant to stay (everybody leaves, some way or the other…it’s either the relationship or the life comes to an end). It’s all temporary, Even my existence. Even your. Even this planet. Practicing the ‘art of detachment’ is the most necessary and empowering thing we can train our minds for. After all what is life, but a lovely experience of learning, growing and lots of fun! Don’t you think?
