How to Invest more on Yourself?


Hello My Beautiful Allys,

After receiving amazing response for the previous #BeingAllycaralSaturdaypoll 👒 here I am with my first post on Self Care post. Interesting and exciting as it could be, here I am experimenting with my first Self Care #BeingAllycaralTuesdaytips 👒

And this week, the best topic to start with is “How best One can Invest more in Self”. People often have this misconceptions that investing on yourself means spending a lot of money. The fact is, this may not be the case. It is basically a feeling one needs from self in order to feel fulfilled. This may sound a lot deeper, and you might find yourself lost or confused. Hey! hang on, I just got started. The Golden Rules to Invest Gracefully on Yourself include:

  • Be Happy – As simple as it may sound, in today’s world of uncertainty we all go through questioning relationships, jobs wondering are we really happy doing what we are at the moment? We definitely may have a smile on our face but truly are we satisfied what we are doing? And the best person to figure this out is none other than ourselves. Remember in order to be happy, you need to feel it from within. Often, people get affected by the surrounding, situations that bring you down. But the best way to deal with all these things are to learn to put your happiness first, and always remember never to depend on someone else for your happiness. Because no matter what, whether with or without life still moves on. If you catch the train, you win, if you don’t well don’t worry stay there another one is definitely on it’s way. Remember, the only person who have the power to make yourself happy is your self. If you have to truly enjoy yourself. Some days, do what you always wanted to do, take a day off or maybe a week, go watch a movie, play a video game that you like, treat yourself at the spa, enjoy a late laid back afternoon at a beach side, spend some time with old friends reminiscing some good old memories. Because hey! you are still very young, you don’t have to figure out what your entire life would look like.
  • Assess Your Goals and Targets of Life –  This is something which everyone needs to do in order to make sure in this journey of life you are making the most out of the opportunities that you are given. Assessing and evaluating your career graph in simple words mean comparing yourself for a period. Like for example, if there is a difference between You about a Year back and Today in terms of the things that you have  learnt, the growth in terms of the way you handle situations and most importantly how rationally you can deal with the balance of professional and personal life. Some days definitely there will be a times, when you don’t have to figure out what you will be doing in the next 5 years. On those days all you have to do is just go with the flow and most importantly get through the day. But make you sure to bounce back and work hard to achieve what you planned for yourself in the coming years. (Always write Your Goals down, Look at it every morning, Trust me this works! Try Yourself to see results.)
  • Work towards achieving Healthy Physical and Mental Self – Now Working towards achieving a whole healthy self is one of the things we often hear! Now, in order to achieve a Healthy Self – First we need to get out of the bed and exercise. The best way to get our physical self fit is exercising, now this could be at home or at gym. I usually prefer exercising at home because you get your own space and at the same time you alone can push your self harder than anyone else can. So Exercising Definitely helps a lot as most of us are working tirelessly sitting in front of a PC or a Mac Book or a laptop exhausting mentally ourselves from morning to evening, which means less body activity. So Exercising pumps the blood and this is one of the aspect of Being Healthy, Now the second aspect includes How to keep your Mental Self Healthy. One of the best ways to do so is Meditation. Yes! an age old traditional method, which instantly rejuvenates yourself. Usually advisable for 45  minutes every single day, this will bring much needed stability for your mind. And another important therapy is music! Keep a separate music time for yourself. Listen to tracks that uplift your soul. Listen Happy Tracks. The best time to exercise or meditate is early mornings before breakfast or post office after going home. And as World Health Day is Coming Up on 7th April 2018. Indeed a perfect month to kick start your workout routine.
  • Develop Your Skills – This is the best way to learn something new, be it a new language, or be it new dance form or simply be it learning to play a guitar. The best way to get started is read books, research online, watch videos, read matter online. This slowly increasing your knowledge day by day helping you to develop new additionally skills. Learning is not just restricted to these, several times we learn and develop skills by meeting friends, colleagues and acquaintances. It is always said, every person that you meet in your life teaches you something or the other. Sometimes good to best while sometimes bad to worst. What is important is you take everything and absorb the positivism in everything.

There you are simple as it sounds. Remember the more you invest on your self with the pointers mentioned above the more richer you will get. And it is an every day process. And in this world full of uncertainties it is advisable to always take time off for the most important person in your life which is yourself. Make that person the happiest for that person deserves a lot. And I would say, You alone know what all things that person has gone through, so hey you alone can be a superman/ superwomen to save yourself.

Checklist For Home Before You Travel


Hello Allys,

We are here on a Tuesday, and I am all set to give you tips that will help you plan your travel wisely. This week, I thought of giving tips about what things you need to keep in mind before you leave your home for a vacation or a trip.

Very simple as it sounds but definitely it is these simple things that usually slips out of our heads. But don’t worry, I have penned down a quick checklist about these things you need to keep in mind – a checklist for home before you travel.

To get started with first things first:

  1. Dispose the garbage from the bins.

Yes this is one of the most common things which are usually skipped, in the excitement of planning and packing for the trip. So it is of utmost important to dispose the garbage from your house. Several times what happens is, you have a wonderful vacation and when you return and open your main door, you get a stench of some bad odor. The same is of the garbage in your house which remained indoor because all the doors and windows were locked. (The feeling and the smell is seriously bleh…)  So do keep this thing in your mind.

  1. Finish Food Items

Yes, Food items need to be finished especially like vegetables, fruits to avoid the rotting of the same which indeed would add stench which in case you didn’t dispose the trash from house would.

  1. Pay Due Bills

Make sure you paid all your due bills. As I am sure, none of us would like it, when we return home from a vacation only to find there is no electricity nor water.

  1. Make arrangement of pets/plants

We love our pets and plants and it is very difficult to part away from them. But if we cannot take our pets on a vacation we need to make provision to see to that in our absence they are not hungry or in bad condition. So either you can ask your friend to take care of them or your neighbor by giving them all the required material like food items, keys of the place the pet would be in so that they too are happy while you vacay. Same thing with the plants, ask your friends or neighbor to water the plants or else in case you don’t have anyone around you can keep the plants in your bathroom and leave slightly the tap on and arrange the plants in such a way that they get water though it may be little by little they atleast will get something other than just being dry and gradually dying.

  1. Close/Lock Doors in Your Absence

It is essential to lock down doors and windows securely in your absence. As you wouldn’t want to have an unexpected guest over when you may be having a wonderful vacation elsewhere.

  1. Unplug electronic Items

Unplug your computer system, fridge; AC plugs from the sockets, as you never know what might happen, considering fluctuations in electric currents.

  1. Notify Familia and Friends

Most Important notify your close friends and family about the trip where you will be going and for how long.
