When we feel stuck in our lives it's important to take stock of what is going on and find out if there is something we are doing or not doing that is keeping us stuck. Sometimes the situation is out of our control, and we need to look within to find the patience required to wait with equanimity until things move forward again. Many times, though, we can find the source of our stagnation in our own hearts and minds.
Sometimes we are clinging to old ideas about reality and we need to make adjustments that will bring us back in tune with life, so we can flow again. Sometimes we find that fear of change is what's keeping us stuck, and we can resolve to find ways of facing that fear.
If introspection does not provide the answers we need, it can sometimes be helpful to ask those around you if they notice anything obvious that you might not be able to see. Remember to ask someone whom you can trust to be kind and sensitive as well as honest. Try to let go of your resistance because whenever there is something we can't see ourselves, it's because we don't want to see it. Try to listen with an open mind, and remember that you are always the final judge of what you need. Anything offered to us from an outside source will need to be processed within before its wisdom can take hold.
In all this, be kind to yourself and remember that we all get stuck sometimes. Think of it as a part of your process, a necessary step on your journey, rather than as a problem that shouldn't be happening. This can help to keep your frustration at bay and give you the space you need to take a deep breath and really figure out what's going on.

Part Of The Process
The Moment a Child is Born...
My Mom
"The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny."
"I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life."
"Mother love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible."
My Daddy
"How pleasant it is for a father to sit at his child's board. It is like an aged man reclining under the shadow of an oak which he has planted."
"Father in Heaven! When the thought of thee wakes in our hearts, let it not awaken like a frightened bird that flies about in dismay, but like a child waking from its sleep with a heavenly smile."

Poochho Kyon>>>
Log ISHQ ko khuda kehte hai,
Par koi ISHQ kare to use gunaah kehte hai.
Kaha jata hai ki paththar dil roya nahi karte,
To phir PARVAT se hi kyo JHARNE bahaa karte hai.
6 Easy Ways to Treat Your Damaged Hair
- Do a Protein Treatment
Protein treatments will temporarily fill in the gaps of your hair cuticle to make it stronger. There are different levels of protein treatments ranging from hard-core proteins like Aphogee to milder protein treatments like ORS Hair Mayo. Whatever you choose, make sure that you read and follow the directions. Protein treatments can sometimes cause the hair to become hard. Therefore, you should always follow up your protein treatment with a moisturizing conditioner. You will
need to do this protein treatment at least once a month for your damaged hair. - Deep Condition with Heat
Use a moisturizing conditioner that is made for damaged or dry hair weekly. Thoroughly apply it to your hair and cover with a plastic cap. Sit under a hair dryer for at least 20 minutes. Heat is an important element of deep conditioning and will help the conditioner penetrate your hair strands more effectively. - Wash with Conditioner Only
If you wash your hair more than once a week, try cleansing it with conditioner instead. Simply rinse your hair well, then slather it with conditioner. Massage your hair and scalp just as if it were shampoo. Detangle and rinse. Remember to alternate with shampoo to avoid build up. - Hydrate Hair More Often
The longer you go between washing your hair, the dryer it will become especially for curly, wavy, and kinky hair that is damaged. Try washing twice a week to hydrate your hair with water. Remember to seal in the moisture by applying a light oil. - Get a Good Trim
Getting your hair trimmed will immediately make a difference in your hair's appearance. It will also put you on the road for healthier hair. You do not have to trim off all of the damage at once. Just do a little at a time. Set a schedule of maybe every 8 weeks to have 1/2 inch trimmed until your hair is healthy. - Limit Direct Heat
I know this one is hard but it will yield the biggest results. If your hair is already damaged, applying more heat will just add to the damage. Instead, try roller setting your hair for a beautiful hair style with no direct heat.
I hope you will give a few of these methods a try if you're experiencing damaged hair. The sooner you start, the sooner you will begin to see results. Treating damaged hair takes time but once you have the proper knowledge to conquer it, you'll see it is possible to get the healthy hair you desire.
