Allow me to introduce you to Pika Dubey, a Counseling Psychologist from Mumbai, India. Renowned for her profound dedication and passion in spreading awareness on mental health, Pika has spent years honing her craft. She has acquired a wealth of knowledge that can greatly benefit others in navigating life more effectively.
Pika advises young women on the importance of expressing their feelings and establishing boundaries, particularly when faced with discomfort.
In our society, there is often an unspoken pressure for young girls and women to prioritize others’ comfort over their own. We’re taught to avoid causing any sort of discomfort or conflict – even if it means neglecting our own well-being.
Moreover, she emphasizes, “Remember, if something doesn’t feel right, if a situation makes you uneasy, or if someone crosses your boundaries, it’s perfectly okay to speak up. Your feelings are valid, and you have every right to assert them. Learning to say no when you’re uncomfortable is a vital skill.”
When questioned on the subject of ageing, Pika’s response is nothing short of enlightening. With eloquence and grace, she challenges conventional notions, asserting that age is but a mere label, she said age is often perceived through a narrow lens, confined by societal expectations and stereotypes, a label that fails to capture the breadth of human potential and the richness of life’s experiences.
She says embracing ageing and longevity lies in rejecting the notion of being confined by societal norms or expectations. Instead, it’s about listening to your heart and following the call, even if it means graduating at the age of 50 or learning a new skillset at 60. It’s never too late to write your story differently if you are ready.
After all, the true measure of your life and your happiness is not what others think of it, but what you believe happiness is for you!
