Life is a river, wild and untamed,
Its waters unyielding, never the same.
It twists and it turns, it breaks and it mends,
A journey unmarked by predictable ends.

The sunshine will dance, but so will the rain,
You’ll cradle deep joy, then stumble through pain.
Dreams might shatter, hopes may fall,
Yet in each collapse, there's beauty in all.

Acceptance is not surrender or defeat,
It’s finding the strength to stand on your feet.
It’s holding the pieces with trembling hands,
And trusting that time will weave its strands.

The heartbreaks you’ve carried, the scars you now wear,
Are testaments written in a script most rare.
Each crack in your soul, each tear that you weep,
Holds seeds of wisdom the spirit must keep.

Life won’t always answer the "why" or the "how,"
But it gives you a gift, to live in the now.
To breathe in the chaos, to dance in the strife,
To find fleeting beauty in the messiness of life.

Accepting the hardships, the falls, the despair,
Means opening your heart to the love that's still there.
It’s seeing the night as a bridge to the day,
Letting the shadows teach what they may.

Cry when you need to, scream at the sky,
But don’t let your spirit forget how to try.
For life, in its sorrow, still whispers its song:
“You are stronger than this, you’ve been all along.”

So let go of the battles that can't be won,
Make peace with the rain and cherish the sun.
Acceptance is grace; it's the way to survive,
To truly be free, to fully be alive.

Meditation is more than just a practice; it’s a life skill that nurtures mental clarity, emotional balance, and inner peace. In today’s fast-paced world, learning how to meditate equips you with a powerful tool to manage stress, reduce anxiety, and stay present in the moment. It fosters self-awareness, helping you recognize thought patterns and emotional triggers while cultivating a sense of calm amidst chaos.

Meditation isn’t about stopping your thoughts, it’s about observing them without judgment, creating space for mindfulness and intentional living. Studies show it improves focus, enhances emotional resilience, and even boosts physical health by lowering blood pressure and improving sleep.

Whether it’s a two-minute breathing exercise or a deep mindfulness session, meditation is accessible to everyone. By making it part of your routine, you invest in a lifelong practice of mental and emotional well-being, empowering yourself to navigate life’s challenges with grace and clarity.

Start small, stay consistent, and unlock the transformative power of meditation!

🚨𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬 𝗣𝗦𝗬𝗖𝗛𝗢𝗟𝗢𝗚𝗜𝗦𝗧 𝗖𝗔𝗡 𝗕𝗘 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗣𝗜𝗦𝗧!🛑

Let’s burst a common myth: Not everyone who calls themselves a psychologist is qualified to provide therapy. This misunderstanding is alarmingly common in Pakistan, and sadly, it opens the door to unqualified individuals who could do more harm than good. Therapy is not just “𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲.” 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲. It’s a skill.

If you’re handing over your mental health to someone with just a BS in Psychology or an MSc in Psychology, you’re trusting someone with just theoretical knowledge but ZERO clinical expertise. That’s like hiring a general MBBS doctor to perform heart surgery because, “Doston ne kaha hai, wo bhi doctor hai.” 🙄

🌟 🌟 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝘀𝘆𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿

Just like in medicine, psychology is a specialized field. Let me break it down:

𝟭. 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝘀𝘆𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁

Qualifications: MPhil/MS/PhD in Clinical Psychology + supervised training.

What they do: Diagnose and treat mental health disorders like depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, or schizophrenia and many such psychological disorders using evidence-based therapies like, ACT, CBT or DBT.

When to see them: If you’re facing a mental illness or long-standing psychological issues.

𝟮. 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝘀𝘆𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁

Qualifications: MS in Counseling Psychology + supervised training.

What they do: Help with personal growth, stress, relationships, and grief.

When to see them: If you need emotional guidance or strategies to handle life’s challenges.

𝟯. 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹/𝗢𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝘀𝘆𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁

Qualifications: MS in Industrial/Organizational Psychology.

What they do: Enhance workplace productivity, culture, and team dynamics—not therapy.

and many more i.e forensic psychologist, criminal psychologist, educational psychologist or sport psychologist and so on with huge differences in their expertise

🛑𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱 𝗕𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗱

1. Ask for credentials: Ensure they hold an MPhil/MS/PhD in Clinical or Counseling Psychology.

2. Check their training: They should have supervised practical training in therapy.

3. Avoid the generic “psychologist” title: If their specialization isn’t clear, don’t proceed.

💡 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆: 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵

PSYCHOTHERAPY isn’t casual advice or “venting sessions.” It’s a blend of science, therapy, and expertise. Malpractice is rising, but awareness can prevent you and others from falling victim to unqualified practitioners.

Neurobics refers to mental exercises designed to stimulate the brain and enhance cognitive functioning by engaging it in novel and challenging ways. Coined by Lawrence Katz and Manning Rubin, neurobic exercises focus on creating new neural pathways through activities that involve novelty, variety, and challenge. Examples include using your non-dominant hand for routine tasks, taking different routes, engaging all senses, learning new skills, and solving puzzles. These exercises aim to improve memory, focus, and overall mental agility, promoting brain health and potentially reducing cognitive decline associated with aging.

NOBODY IS YOUR ENEMY
*ANYONE THAT ANNOYS YOU* --is teaching you patience and calmness.
*ANYONE THAT ABANDONS YOU* --is teaching you how to stand up on your own feet.
*ANYBODY THAT OFFENDS YOU* --is teaching you forgiveness and compassion.
*ANYTHING THAT YOU HATE* --is teaching you, unconditional love.
*ANYTHING THAT YOU FEAR* --is teaching you the courage to overcome your fears.
*ANYTHING YOU CAN'T CONTROL* --is teaching you to let go.
*ANY "NO" YOU GET FROM HUMAN* --is teaching you to be independent.
*ANY PROBLEM YOU'RE FACING* --is teaching you how to get a solution to problems.
*ANY ATTACK YOU GET FROM PEOPLE* --is teaching you the best form of defence.
*ANYONE WHO LOOKS DOWN ON YOU* --is teaching you to look up to CREATOR ( ALLAH ).
Always look out for the lesson in every situation you face in every phase of life.
Be polite, calm, gentle and thankful to God because He will be with you to the end.
Life had taught me lessons. I do not see people at my cross road, because humans are not reliable. I only see God as the author and finisher of my faith.
*R E F L E C T I O N S*
*When you live your life without anyone betraying, hurting, disappointing, disgracing or offending you, then it means you never did anything worthy.*
*The beauty of life, is that it comes with disappointments and betrayals, from people you least expect.*
*Unfortunately, some of us spend so much time crying over these betrayals and disappointments, and end up becoming victims of all circumstances.*
*Remember One Thing:* *Holding unto anger is like knocking your head on the wall and expecting the other person to feel the pain. You are only hurting yourself.*
*The fact is that the world is full of annoying, naughty, stupid and ungrateful people, and you will always come across them at one point or another in life. But the best thing to do, is to deal with them with wisdom and maturity.*
*You can’t get everyone to love you, think like you or behave like you... never.*
*We must learn to tolerate and overlook certain things, we must try to bury the faults of others and move on with life.*
*Anger, Hatred and Intolerance have caused most of the world's problems and solved none.*
*Life is short, you don't know how much time you have left*
*I beseech you to take the pain and forgive that special person you hold grudges against, and iron out your grievances.*
*Muster the courage and apologise to that person you have offended.*
*Life is not measured by the amount of money, houses or companies you have, but by the positive impact you have made in the lives of others.*
