And she also writes about one good thing that has happened to her during the day that helps her build self-esteem. Cleaning also helps her de-stress.

To all, Parvathy advises everyone to be kind to themselves and become their own best friend. Don’t be your own critic because we are going to spend our lives with ourselves, and if we are not going to be a nice person to ourselves, it is going to be a difficult life.

Parvathy also suggests reading a lot and attempting to write your own thoughts.
