What is the best gift you can give yourself on your birthday?

Like most others I have gathered a lot of things over the years and actually need to sort them so that I can get rid of some of them as soon as possible. Hence no buying new things for this birthday. Actually de-cluttering my space would be a good gift.

If you are also a person who takes herself seriously so much so that you think you can't commit any mistake, then it will be good to know that nobody you admire has become what he/she has become without making mistakes. Forgive yourself for God's sake. You know you are trying and you are just a human being.  By giving ourselves permission to commit mistakes and even fail might open a lot new doors. And it will be easier on ourselves.

Humour can help. I re-learnt this from my daughter. All the women that I knew and loved from childhood were great and I got to learn a lot from them. But they were all too serious. On the contrary, all my maternal uncles were and are so much fun. They always had something witty and funny to say for every occasion. That made life so much easier for all. Can we just laugh more this year?

Another way to be kinder to ourselves is to continue doing good things that we are doing for our body machine. Yoga, workout, walks, health food whatever you are into and whatever works for you, is great. The idea is to  pay attention to our wellbeing consciously and deliberately as we grow by one more year.

Whether it is your birthday to Un-birthday have fun and be happy today.
Some more ink experiments from exotic book. 😄

Thank you.
