Soft Discipline Era | Ecency

I feel that we make our lives harder sometimes.

Every time we try to achieve something, we want a good career, more money, a better life, a perfect body, and a perfect mindset. In all these things we forget to take care of ourselves. One thing I have realized slowly is that life does not change with motivation only. It takes small changes in our habits too, like fixing our sleep cycle.

Because sometimes those experiences are what slowly heal us.

Our words have a powerful impact. The day we start talking to ourselves a little gently, things start to change.

When we tell ourselves. "I am trying..."

"I am slowly getting better..."

"Everything does not have to be fixed in a day..."

Then we start to feel a little calm. Honestly, now I feel that life is not a race to be better than someone else. Everyone's path is different. Everyone's timing is different. Everyone's fight is different. Now all I want is. A mind,
