From Pep Talk To Power Talk

The best of times and the happiest of times. Gen Z's common challenge to tackle at the earliest, reverberates throughout the whole. 

''From struggle to share"
"From chaos to peace"
''From isolation to connectivity"
"From a line of what if.. to I did..."
"From cluttered mind to creative mind"

It all takes A STEP, more towards yourself by listening to our environment, emotions, and real selves. Indeed, multiple doors open up just by paying attention to our surroundings. The more we see ourselves connected as a whole, inseparable pieces of the puzzle, the more we progress in the right direction with fewer problems (or to put it better, techniques to adjust with). 

A situation that we all go through in our daily schedules. 'What should I share with you, Mumma? I know it is the problems that you have not faced in your time. As this is a different generation and advanced. So please, do not ask, I will handle it in my way.'

Here, our mind would agree with the opinion that our parents are experienced but in their zones, not the one with which we are going through, so our conscious or subconscious mind re-speaks the idea of not sharing the problem with our elders, or especially parents. And most of us are doing the same.

Now, by flipping the coin. When I shared my dilemma with my father, I  had been struggling for more than a year. He solved it by not focusing on the problem but prioritizing me over all other things, society, stereotypes, studies, etc. He calmed me with the best of his abilities and encouraged me to focus on what pleases me and nurtures me. The traumas or the chaos with which the present generation of going through is not a social presence, but how to stay connected with the roots, ethics (knowing the difference between being right and being wrong). Oh! This would be a separate topic to discuss.

Focusing back on the idea, when we share our problem with our parents, especially, rather than with any other elder. First thing that we sort is - Prioritizing ourselves, which not just includes our physical, mental, or emotional wellbeing, but also that of our real dear ones (our family). 

The other are in the line - 

• When we initiate the talk with our parents, they feel respected and noticed by us.
• When we have informed them through this conversation that we are in a fix, so they would also ensure to give us our own time where we sit and reflect rather than facing some guilt situations by reacting to them as to vent out and then crying over the spilled milk. They would be careful to keep the conversation to the need, so that we can get more "family time" (which the phrase really means).

From now on, when you face a challenge next time - 

1. Run to your HOME, I say it again, you Must.

2. Sit calmly and hydrate yourself.

3. Inform them that you want to share something and ask them to please listen first everything that you say.

4. Express all your emotions in front of them, as you know that these people sitting in front of you won't judge you ever. 

5. Once you share everything, take a pause and ask them about their say on this.

6. Being with your parents or sitting in a room with them will instill you with a lot of positivity.

So, next time, do not take everything on you, but focus on sharing because "SHARING IS CARING."
