Give me good thinking change me!
I want good things only
Let’s begin with the most important step:
## ✨ **How to Be Happy — From the Inside Out**
—
### 💖 1. **Accept That It’s Okay to Feel Low Sometimes**
Even the strongest people feel down. It doesn’t mean something is wrong with you.
It just means: **you’re human**. Sensitive, deep, and caring — like the moon, not always full but always whole.
> 🌱 “Just because today is heavy doesn't mean tomorrow won't be beautiful.”
—
### ☀️ 2. **Start with One Beautiful Thought Every Morning**
Instead of checking your phone right away, say this to yourself:
> “I’m becoming better each day. I’m safe, I’m healing, I’m growing. Life is slowly becoming kind.”
Repeat this for 7 days — even if you don’t feel it yet. Your **mind believes what it hears repeatedly**.
—
### 🌼 3. **Do One Small Thing Daily for Your Heart**
Something soft and kind, like:
– Listening to calming music
– Putting a flower in your hair
– Drinking tea slowly with a smile
– Sitting in the sun for 5 minutes
– Writing 3 things you’re grateful for (even small)
This tells your brain: *“Life has sweetness.”*
—
### 💬 4. **Talk Kindly to Yourself**
Your brain listens to how **you** talk to you.
Change “I’m lazy / useless / not good” to:
> ✨ “I’m trying, and that’s more than enough.”
> ✨ “I am learning to love myself one thought at a time.”
> ✨ “Good things are coming to me — gently and surely.”
—
### 📿 5. **Create Your “Good Vibe Corner” at Home**
Even if it’s just a pillow by the window. Keep:
– A small diary or your favorite quote
– A plant, a candle, or anything calming
– Sit there for 10 minutes daily and **do nothing**. Just *breathe and rest*.
—
### 💫 6. **Start Believing: You Are the Creator of Your Life**
You don’t need to be “strong” or “perfect.” You just need to be **willing**.
And you are.
If you say:
> “From today, I choose peace over panic.
> I choose rest over rush.
> I choose me over pressure.”
Then slowly, **everything will change** — not because the world changes, but because **you did**.
—
## 🪷 I’m here for you, Ishali.
If you want:
– **Daily positive thoughts**
– **Simple action plans to feel better**
– **Ways to earn without stress**
Just say: *“Let’s begin gently.”*
You're not alone.
Let’s build a softer, brighter life — one peaceful step at a time 💛
I feel weekness!
I’m resting at hone all day , still feeling heavy !
Let’s go through this gently — because your body is clearly asking for attention, and I’m here to help you understand what might be going on.

## 🧠 First: Why You May Feel Leg Pain + Weakness *Even While Resting*
Even if you’re staying home and resting all day, **your body can still feel tired or heavy** — here’s why:
—
### ⚠️ 1. **Lack of Movement (Poor Circulation)**
When we stay in bed or sit too long, blood flow to our legs reduces. That can cause:
– **Aching or heaviness in legs**
– Tingling or pins-and-needles
– Weakness or cramps
> 🟢 Solution: Try light stretching or walking for just **2-5 minutes every hour**, even inside your room.
—
### 💧 2. **Not Drinking Enough Water**
Dehydration causes muscles to cramp and body to feel tired.
> 🟢 Solution: Start sipping warm water throughout the day. Add lemon or tulsi if you like.
—
### 🍽️ 3. **Low Iron or Vitamin D (Very Common in Women)**
If you're feeling:
– Heavy legs
– Weakness or low energy
– Headaches
– Mood swings
It could be **anemia (low iron)** or **Vitamin D deficiency** — very common in women who stay indoors.
> 🟢 Solution:
– **Get a basic blood test** (CBC, Vitamin D, B12, Iron) — easy to do, even from home.
– Ask doctor for iron + D3 supplements (once confirmed).
– Eat dates, jaggery, leafy greens, banana, eggs, milk, or ragi daily.
—
### 😞 4. **Stress or Emotional Overload**
Feeling low or emotional can actually show up as:
– Body heaviness
– Muscle stiffness
– Random aches and tiredness
Your body and mind are deeply connected.
> 🟢 Solution:
– Breathe deeply for 2 minutes each hour (even just closing your eyes helps)
– Speak kindly to yourself — this really matters
– Put your legs up on a pillow while lying down (reduces pressure)
—
### 🪻 5. **Hormonal or Thyroid Imbalance**
Sometimes, underlying hormonal issues (like PCOD, thyroid) can cause:
– Leg pain
– Swelling
– Mood swings
– Tiredness
> 🟢 Solution:
If this continues for a week or more, speak to a doctor and ask for:
– Thyroid test (TSH)
– Hormone profile
– Full body checkup
—
## ❤️ You’re Not Lazy, You’re Not Weak
Your body is just **trying to tell you something**.
It may need better nutrition, movement, sunlight, and love — not more rest.
—
### 🌈 Want Me to Help You Plan a “Feel Better Day” Routine?
Something light and soft, like:
– Wake up
– Gentle stretch
– Eat something warm
– Sit in sun for 10 mins
– Feel good food list
– Small win task (like organizing or 5-minute walk)
Just say: **“Yes, show me a feel-good routine.”**
We’ll do this together, softly and slowly. You deserve to feel light again, Ishali 🌷
Knowing you have **PCOS** explains a lot of what you’re feeling — the leg pain, heaviness, weakness, mood swings, and tiredness. PCOS isn’t just about periods — it affects your **whole body, hormones, and emotions**.
But here’s the **most important thing**:
✨ **You *can* feel better — with a soft, gentle routine. No pressure. Just little wins.**
—
## 💡 What PCOS Does to Your Body (In Simple Words):
– **Hormone imbalance**: Makes you feel tired, emotional, or foggy
– **Inflammation**: Causes body pain (like legs, back, or head)
– **Low insulin sensitivity**: Makes you feel heavy or bloated even with small meals
– **Nutrient deficiency**: PCOS often causes low **Vitamin D, B12, Iron** (which explains weakness and pain)
—
## 🌷 Ishali’s Gentle PCOS Healing Routine (Feel-Good Version)
### ☀️ Morning (Start Softly)
– **Wake up slowly, sit in sunlight** for 10–15 mins (even near window)
– **Drink warm water with lemon** or fenugreek (methi) soaked overnight
– Light stretching: **just 2–3 mins** — leg circles, shoulder rolls, deep breathing
—
### 🥣 Breakfast (Hormone-Boosting)
– Warm food (no skipping!) — Poha with peanuts, upma, moong chilla, or oats
– Add **1 spoon flaxseeds or chia seeds** for hormone balance
– Optional: Herbal teas (like spearmint or tulsi)
—
### 💻 Daytime (Light Movement + Calm Mind)
– Walk around your room every 1 hour (just 2 mins!)
– Avoid long sitting/lying without moving legs — this causes more pain
– Listen to calming music or affirmations (helps reduce cortisol — PCOS stress hormone)
—
### 🍛 Lunch (Balanced & Nourishing)
– Roti or rice with sabzi + dal
– Add a bowl of **curd (probiotic)** — improves digestion & hormones
– Avoid very sugary or fried food for now (causes energy crashes)
—
### 🌼 Evening
– Light movement again — slow dancing, a walk, or simple chores
– Herbal tea like cinnamon or spearmint
– Massage your legs with warm oil (sesame or coconut) — improves circulation + reduces pain
—
### 🌙 Night Routine
– Dinner before 8 PM (keep light but warm)
– Avoid phone 30 mins before bed
– **Gratitude journal or 3 calm thoughts** before sleep (helps calm hormones + mind)
—
## 💊 Natural Supplements to Ask Your Doctor About (Common for PCOS)
– **Vitamin D3**
– **Myo-Inositol + D-Chiro Inositol** (helps with weight, hair, energy, periods)
– **Iron + B12** if feeling very weak or dizzy
– **Ashwagandha** (balances hormones + reduces stress)
—
