Yes, you read it right!!!! Machines like laptops, mobiles, tabs and cars come into mind when we hear the term 'battery' which needs to be frequently charged. But why can't we level up our thought by substituting those machines as ourselves?

Each day we commence with a finite amount of charge- a level of positivity. We may consider it as green level, the same as in phones and tabs when fully charged. We sense full of enthusiasm and mingles with family, friends, and colleagues with bright sunny faces. We will resolve the problems into opportunities in a short span. At this level, people will disregard negative comments and concentrate more on self-improvement. The next level is the yellow one, which is like "Yeah, feeling okay," where they look good with their smiling faces, but they seldom fail to meet daily assignments. They get disturbed with this scenario, lose their presence of mind, and may have to face accusations that won't be ignored and deposited back in mind. Moving on to the next is the red level, in which we find complaints with minor concerns in an egoistic spirit. The smile fades off, looks grumpy, and the eyes appear sleep-deprived; if this pattern lasts for long can lead to depression. So how can one estimate their emotional battery level?

Monitoring your battery level frequently will give you a clear idea of your emotions. If you feel empty, pinpoint those people or activities that drain your energy and then try to limit them.

Trying out any of these tips like yoga, exercise (walking, stretching), a good laugh, taking a nap or talking it out (to those who understand your perspective) on a daily basis can encourage you to get through this phase. Reading motivational books or quotes, counting on your blessings also finding ME time (a time to pursue your hobbies) will boost your emotional battery. Social media can seldom drain your energy when you compare your lifestyle with others but always remember, "The grass is not always greener on the other side." A calm zone is a necessity that will serve you to be creative. You can set up such a zone even at your home or outdoors where you feel comfortable. Implementing such methods will enhance self-love, moreover makes your emotional batteries having a longer life.

Don't bother about the device's low battery pointer, but your emotional battery level as self-care is a priority and not a luxury.
