5 Most Affordable Wellness Retreats in India for Those on a Budget
Happiness isn’t a luxury, it’s a right — a right that all of us have been gifted with since the day we opened our eyes into the world and passed that first giggle. Somewhere, growing up, we forgot all about that right to be happy and started believing that as a human being, our first motto is to please everyone and make everyone around us happy. And, how can we not? After all, how many times have we heard the statement “well, if my loved ones are happy, I am happy”? Honestly, that is a blatant lie and living that lie is unhealthy for all us.
We must understand that our happiness as an individual is as important as anybody else’s peace and smile around us. And, those who are really happy themselves are the ones who spread love, joy, and cheerfulness around. Another important fact that we have almost forgotten is self-love. It’s time that you took a break from planning a gift for your long lost cousin and take a moment to look for ways to pamper yourself.
