Simmy's Journal

Have you ever wanted to take a chance but felt scared of what might happen?

Sometimes, we overthink things because we don't want to get hurt or make the wrong decision. 
Sometimes you need to listen to yourself and give things time.
Things may not always go our way, but that doesn't mean we should stop believing in ourselves or taking chances.

Sometimes, all we can do is trust ourselves and see where life takes us. 

Have you ever taken a risk with your career without knowing how things would turn out? Tell me about it in the comments. I love reading them!

Money habits can completely change the way you build your future.

In this video, I’m sharing 5 money lessons I’ve learned in my 20s and 30s. From saving and investing to tracking expenses, building financial security and becoming more financially independent.

If you're in your 20s or 30s, I hope this helps you think differently about your money and your future. It’s never too late to start! 🤍

As I've grown older, I’ve become more conscious of where my money goes and how I'm preparing for different stages of life. I also want enough financial freedom to take a break or make a big decision when I need to.

I love reading your comments, so tell me what you think in the comments!

We often think earning more money means having a better life, but what happens when earning more makes us feel like we need even more?

Most of us have a picture in our mind of how life is supposed to look.

We create checklists. We believe that if everything goes according to plan, we'll finally feel happy and secure.

But what happens when life takes a different path?

In this episode, I talk about why I stopped holding on to my checklist, what this journey has taught me about surrender, and how learning to trust the process has changed the way I look at life.

In this episode, I talk about:
- Why I decided to let go of the checklist I had created for my future partner.
- How someone can tick every box and still not be the right person.
- The subtle ways our body warns us when something isn't aligned.
- Why we keep trying to "make it work" even when we know something feels off.
- The difference between control and surrender.
- The biggest lesson this experience taught me about trusting God's plan.

Ask yourself honestly:
- Have you been trying to control an outcome that's simply not meant for you?

- Is there a checklist or expectation  you're holding onto because it makes you feel safe?

- What would change if you chose trust over control?

You've been feeling it for a while now.

Not a sharp pain. Just a quiet, heavy weight you carry everywhere, through your mornings, your conversations, your nights. A kind of gloominess that doesn't go away no matter how many videos you watch or how many times you tell yourself "I'll feel better soon."

This video is for you if you've been stuck in that loop.

But here's the thing, only watch this if you're actually ready to do something about it. Because watching alone will give you a dopamine hit and nothing more. The real work? That part is entirely yours.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why journaling isn't just a tip, it's the only starting point that actually works
  
  
• How helping someone in need can instantly pull you out of your own sadness
  
  
• Why a simple walk (not a workout) can create new connections your brain desperately needs
  
  
• How gratitude is hard work and why that's exactly the point
  
  
• How to use distraction and dopamine consciously without letting it become your next problem
  
  

Ask yourself honestly:

Am I actually willing to change this or have I gotten comfortable in the sadness?

Am I confusing consuming content about healing with actually healing?

What is one thing, just one, I can do today that is genuinely for me?

Gloominess doesn't lift because time passes. It lifts when you decide to look clearly at what's happening inside you and then take one honest step forward.

You are not broken. You are just stuck. And stuck is something you can get out of. 🤍

You grew up thinking your parents were superheroes. Unbreakable. Always right. And then somewhere in your 20s, you started seeing the cracks. And that confused you more than anything else ever did.

This episode is for you if you've ever felt guilty for having your own opinions. For wanting a different career than what they imagined. For thinking differently. For loving them and still disagreeing with them, sometimes deeply.

Because here's the truth: You are not a bad child for wanting to become your own person. You're just growing up.

In this episode I talk about:
- Why your parents were your whole world as a child, and what changes in your 20s
- The moment you start questioning traditions, choices, and the "just because" rules
- Why forming your own identity separate from your parents is not rebellion, it's evolution
- How over-reliance on parents affects your decision-making, relationships, and even how you'll raise your own children someday
- Why Indian parents project their fears and insecurities onto their children (and why that's not entirely their fault)
- How to hold your own opinions without disrespecting the people who raised you
- The 50-50 reality: why neither you nor your parents are completely right or completely wrong
- What it actually means to "fly from the nest" and why you have to start flapping your own wings

Ask yourself honestly:
- Are you still making decisions based on what your parents would approve of, or what YOU actually want?
- Do you feel guilty every time you disagree with them?
- What's one area of your life where you're still waiting for their permission to begin?

The parent-child relationship doesn't have to break for you to grow. It just has to evolve. And this episode will help you understand how.

You wake up. The first thought is about them. You sleep. The last thought is about them. You're not just heartbroken, you're stuck in a loop, and a part of you already knows it.

This episode is for you if you've been telling yourself "I'll move on soon" but days have turned into weeks, and the pain still hasn't moved an inch.

Whether you're going through a fresh breakup, recovering from a toxic relationship, processing unrequited love, or just trying to stop loving someone who stopped choosing you, these 5 real, actionable heartbreak recovery steps will actually help.

In this video you'll learn:

• Why willingness is the only starting point, without it, nothing works
• How journaling can release 50% of the emotional pressure building inside you
• Why your friends will eventually stop listening and what to do before that moment comes
• How learning a completely new skill can silence your thoughts when nothing else can
• Why sad Bollywood songs are quietly keeping you trapped in your pain
• How building even the smallest daily routine gives you something to come back to
• Why surrendering to something bigger than yourself isn't weakness, it's the final unlock

Ask yourself honestly:
1. Am I actually willing to move on, or am I comfortable in the sadness?
2. Am I feeding my heartbreak every single day without realizing it?
3. What is one thing I can do today that is for me and only me?

Heartbreak doesn't end because time passes. It ends when you decide to come back to yourself and then take one small step in that direction.

You are not the only one going through this. And you will get out of it. 🤍

Are you telling yourself a story where everything that goes wrong proves one thing: “It’s always happening to me” and then stopping at that story? When life hurts, it asks one simple question: will you build something inside to face it, or will you hide behind the comfort of blame?

This video is for the moments you catch yourself saying, “Why me?” and want a different answer. I’m not here to guilt you. I’m here to map a truth most people avoid: problems don’t disappear, and choosing to be the victim keeps you safe only for a little while. Real growth starts when you stop pointing outward and start asking, “What part of this is mine to change?” even if the answer is uncomfortable.
 
Questions this episode will make you consider:
- Do I automatically blame people, fate, or God when things go wrong, or do I ask, “What can I do now?”
- Am I protecting a bubble that validates my victim story?
- What would it take for me to look honestly at my role and take responsibility?
- Am I ready to feel the weight of my mistakes so I can actually fix them?
- Do I want to keep being shaken by life’s problems, or build the inner strength to stand through them?

A few truths I say plainly in this video:

- Life will throw problems at everyone; that’s a given.
- The difference is whether you build an inner capacity to respond or you keep shrinking away.
- Accountability is hard, but it’s the only real way out of the bubble.
- If you work on yourself, you’ll feel gratitude, compassion, and pride, not envy or helplessness.
- Changing from victim to fighter is possible but it’s a decision you make every day.

If this video landed with you, pause and repeat this to yourself: “I know the problems are real. I know this is hard, and I know I’m tired too. But that’s exactly what life is, it keeps testing you. So I have to keep showing up and working on it, because no one else can do that for me.”

Don’t forget to share this with a friend who needs to hear it, and leave a comment too — as always, I love reading all of them :)

If you've been asking yourself "Should you work out during your period?" or "Is it safe to exercise on your period?" this episode is for YOU.

I've been working out during my periods for YEARS without skipping a single workout just because of my period. But here's the thing, everyone's body is different, and that's okay!

QUESTIONS PEOPLE OFTEN ASK:

Will I lose progress if I skip workouts during my period? Should I eat more during my period? How to control cravings during period? What to eat during period for fat loss? Does period slow fat loss?

All of these are answered in this video, let's bust the myths together!

EVERYTHING THIS EPISODE COVERS:

- Should you work out during your period? Yes, I've trained during periods for years without skipping

- Everyone's body is different and some women need rest on heavy cramp days, and that's okay
- Can strength training reduce period cramps? Yes, strength training reduced my painful cramps over time
