TRUTH & HAPPINESS

Truth  

• The power of truth is such that you need never be concerned about proving it.

• You need only be concerned with being it and living it.
• Truth is always revealed, at the right moment, at the right place.
• Τhe simplest and most powerful expression of truth is humility.
• Real humility includes so much power of truth and inner silence that you don’t need to say anything at all in words.
• The power of humility allows you to see the benefit in everything, even in the insults of others.  

Happiness

• Happiness is not a destination, it’s a journey.
• Happiness is not tomorrow, it is now.
• Happiness is not a dependency, it is a decision.
• Happiness is what you are, not what you have

10 Tips to Improving Self-Esteem

Low self-esteem can lead to various problems in your career, relationships and personal life.

Here are 10 helpful tips on how one can boost his self-esteem.

1. Accept yourself

People should remember that everyone is unique and beauty is to be found in every human being. Yes, other people can be better in doing certain things but this fact shouldn't hinder people from being the best that they can be.

2. Self-appreciation

Accepting yourself is different from appreciating yourself. Self-acceptance is a prerequisite to self-appreciation but the latter must always be present. You might accept yourself under a pessimistic light and this is not very healthy. "I accept that I cannot do the things that I really want to do because I am weak" is a sample statement which depicts an unhealthy self-acceptance.

3. Refrain from comparing

Low self-esteem can be brought by the environment. Again, this can be traced to the lack of self-acceptance. Everybody is different and you have qualities that no other person has. A general sense of self-worth should be built without comparing yourself to other people.

4. Don't put yourself down

Nobody's perfect. Making a mistake is definitely normal and people should start accepting this fact. An inner voice which reverberates inside their heads tells them that there is no hope. This should not be the case and having control over the inner voices can be the solution for this problem. Cut yourself some slack, you've done your best and that's what's important.

5. Befriend positive people

Having friends who are positive towards dealing with life's challenges can influence someone into seeing life in the same light and eventually build self-esteem.

6. Remind yourself of the positive things about you

Again, there is beauty in everyone. Remember all the things that you like about yourself and the good things which you have done and make a list of the most striking ones. This will help in self-appreciation and definitely give you something to smile about.

7. Use tools

Buying books, CDs and other materials about building self-esteem wouldn't hurt, would it? These materials can definitely provide some informative ways on how to deal with low self-esteem. However, buying these materials would be useless if the lessons which they give aren't applied in real life.

8. Engage in fun activities

Having fun once in a while releases stress, takes the negative ideas out of your head and leaves space for positive thoughts to fill in. Having fun makes you feel happy about yourself.

9. Hangout with friends

Having fun can be done privately but nothing beats fun with friends. Friends are usually a part of the primary support group of a person and can provide much needed conversations for a down-and-out person.

10. Seek Help

When all else fail, seek professional help from a psychologist or a Personal Life Coach.

There's nothing wrong with taking care of yourself since low self-esteem can lead to more serious problems.

Having low self-esteem can be solved with the right tools and the right attitude. Loving yourself is the ultimate way which leads to a healthy and a better 'you'.

9 Ways to Change your Life

5. Responsibility and self-Reliance

For most people, having freedom and control in our lives is very important. We all value our ability to make our own decisions and having the power to choose. Of course, what a lot of us forget is that to have freedom and control in our lives requires a high level of responsibility and self-reliance. Often the best way to tell how 'free' you are is how much responsibility you are willing to accept in your life. Each of us is born totally dependant on other people, usually our parents. As young children, every part of our lives is decided and guided for us. We don't have to find our own food, clothing or shelter; we don't decide if we'll go to school.

Everything we do and everything we are is a result of other people doing it for us.

As we grow into adults, we begin to take more and more of this responsibility on for ourselves. Some of us take responsibility quite eagerly and enjoy the freedom that comes with it. Other people however tend to try to avoid the responsibility that being an adult requires. But avoiding responsibility is simply cheating yourself.

Here are three great ways to take more responsibility: 

1) Remind yourself. The best way to maintain a high level of  responsibility in your life is to continually remind yourself about it. You can say something simple to yourself like 'this is my responsibility' or 'I am responsible'. By doing this you trigger a deeper part of your character and become more in-control of your life.

2) Realise that freedom equals responsibility. Most people want a high
level of freedom in their lives. Unfortunately most people forget that to
truly be free and in-control requires that you take an equal level of
responsibility. Think about when you first moved out of home: for the
first time you were 'the boss' of your life. And as a result of this new
status, you also got to be the chief cook, bottle washer and bill-payer.
Realise that by accepting responsibility for yourself and your life, you
are also enabling more freedom and choice to flow towards you.

3) Admit your mistakes. One of the fatal flaws most people have is to try to hide their mistakes. They think that because they have 'messed up'
that they will cause trouble for themselves. Often they will try to hide
their mistakes by lying, avoiding or blaming. By doing this all they really
do is cause themselves to look foolish and untrustworthy. From this
moment on, resolve to face your mistakes and learn from them. By
admitting a mistake you instantly become more responsible.

Is there an area of your life where you could take on more responsibility? If so, then take it (bring it on) and you will suddenly feel more powerful and in-control.

How to Overcome a Negative Mindset

Many people have a negative mindset.   Negative mindsets come in different forms.

For some people, they are just pessimistic about everything in  life. For others, they are only negative when it comes to themselves and their own abilities. Either way, when you have a negative mindset you cannot enjoy life the way you should and you may even find that it is hard to maintain personal and work relationships.

Luckily, you can overcome a negative mindset and start enjoying the life that you were meant to have.

It is a matter of recognizing the harmful thought patterns, figuring out what created them and then turning them off, replacing them with healthier patterns.

Where Do Negative Thought Patterns Come From?

Often our negative thought patterns were instilled in us as children and many times this was an unconscious thing. We pick up worry over money from listening to our parents fret and fight. As time goes on, this worry about money wears a groove in our psyche and it becomes a familiar pattern. When we think about money, we automatically begin to worry and see everything that could possibly go wrong.

 

Don’t Go There!

It’s easier said than done, but don't allow yourself to get negative. As soon as you start to think negative thoughts, you need to stop them in their tracks. Unfortunately, much of our inner dialogue is subconscious so we are being negative without even knowing it. We set ourselves up for negative thinking early on in life, in many cases, so that the negative dialogue is always there. This being said, how can we not go there? You need to start with those situations in which you know you are being negative and stop the thoughts in their tracks.

Take the Power Away from the Negativity

When you hear the negative thoughts spinning around and around in your head it’s time to take action. While many of our negative thoughts happen without us even knowing it, we are aware of some of these thoughts. As soon as you have a negative though, stop the process. Take the power away from the negative thoughts and replace them with positive ones.

For instance, if you are thinking “I cannot do this!” tell yourself, “I can do this if I try.”

When you replace the negative thought with a positive one and you allow it to run through your head instead of the negative thought, you will feel as though a 5,000 pound weight has been lifted from your shoulders. The key is to be consistent in replacing the negative thoughts with the positive ones.

Make a Choice

Whether you realize it or not, having a negative mindset really is a choice.

That is difficult for many people to hear, but it’s the truth.  Many people spend their whole lives feeling imprisoned by negative thoughts and their emotions. The bottom line is that you need to make a choice whether you want to be happy or whether you want to continue to be miserable. Decide right now if you want to be happy or not. If you decide that you really want to be happy, you can go forward knowing that happiness really is your goal. When you aren’t truly dedicated to being happy replacing the negative mindset with a positive one will be nearly impossible.

Replace Negative People with Positive People

If you are stuck in a negative mindset, chances are you are surrounded by like minded people.

The old adage that misery loves company is true, so when you are in a negative head space you are going to attract or being attracted to people who are also negative. When you surround yourself by negative people and situations you will have a much more difficult time changing your life. Do away with negative people and situations.

Cut negative people out of your life and if there are situations that contribute to your negative mindset such as relationships or working environments, work to change them or find your way out of the situation as soon as possible.

Mistake #2: Thinking Yourself To Death

After years of running a Coaching practice, and working one-to-one with hundreds  of people, I found that what became true in a person's mind was reflected in their body.

I noticed that people who would continually worry and stress about their problems tended to develop tense muscles, become easily tired or experience headaches. When their mind was stressed, their body became stressed too.

Chewing over your mistakes and over analysing what could go wrong, or what you could have done differently, only drains your energy and distracts you from focusing on what you have to do.

Worrying is about as useful as air conditioning on a motorbike - it only uses up energy and doesn't really help your situation. Like acid, worry will just eat you away if you let it into your life each day.

There are endless things you can worry about - work, kids, money, the weather, your safety, health.....but let's face it:

* Worry doesn't change the situation

* Worry won't help time move any quicker

* Worry doesn't get you through the traffic faster

* Worry won't get you through your workload

...worry just doesn't help! So don't do it.

Instead…

Exchange worry for action

There are no scientific formulae, no esoteric mantras, and no affirmations to stop worrying...

...either do something about it or let it go.

Worry, like a hot stove, only hurts you if you touch it.

Instead of worrying about your business, finances, relationship, health, or world issues, do something about it.

Think Globally - Act Locally

Instead of worrying, look globally at the big picture and think of what outcome you would like to achieve or change.

For example, in your business you may look at the big picture and want to improve your turnover. So instead of worrying about what might happen if your turnover drops, act locally by doing something each day that will contribute to your global objective. Take local action every day, even if it is just to make a small improvement.

Worry is a waste of energy. Instead take action.

From action comes results!

Let’s Learn to Listen

Let’s Learn to Listen

People often speak of opening the third eye but our true step in deepening our understanding is to open our third ear!

What this means is to tune the self to understand what is really said to me. I need to step back from myself in order to listen to myself.

Listening is creating that respectful space between myself and the other, which facilitates a real understanding of what the other is trying to say to me.

Listening through the “third ear” creates an attentive calm and openness that focuses the mind so that reality can be grasped. Such an attentive awareness enables the mind to create concentrated and pure thoughts.

Only pure thought can grasp reality.

As the world becomes more complex and with more problems, listening is the first step in order to communicate and harmonise with everyone. It is a method that enables me to understand the reality of others in order to live better with them.

Listening to myself, to God, to others and to Nature enables the self to harmonise and to enjoy a sense of equilibrium.

#3—Take Action

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

All talk and no action makes Jack a dreamer boy.

Dreams stay as dreams if you do not wake up. The previous 2 steps were the easy parts where you only write down what your dreams and aspirations are and what are the equipments you need to assist you in attaining those goals.

Now comes the hard part—actually taking the initiative to make those changes and the starting out is always the hardest.

Wake up and tell yourself, ‘Today is going to be different, because I change my life’.

What are the things that you have written down on your To‐Do List?

Start doing them today.

Suppose to call someone? Well, pick up the phone and call now. Make small but definite changes in your life and you will be amazed at how much closer you are to your goals.

Here is a secret tip to a simple yet dramatic way of changing your life—live healthily.

The basis of success is plainly by having good health. After all, what is success if one cannot even enjoy the fruits of one’s accomplishments with a sickly body? There is no use in slogging your body and soul out if at the end of the day you are plagued with illnesses. Of course, there are those that just have bad health and just cannot help it. But if your body is in a good condition (or even if it is not), you should always make an effort to stay as healthy as possible. A healthy lifestyle is a good habit that will make it easier to achieve your goals.

For example, always wanted more time? Start waking up earlier!

We all live with 24 hours a day (unless you live on another planet), so how is it that some people are able to accomplish more than you within the same amount of time? Curb your habit of pressing the ‘snooze’ button whenever your alarm clock rings. Set a goal time for when you would want to wake up. Every subsequent week, set your alarm clock to ring 10 minutes earlier than your scheduled timing till you have finally reached your goal. Use that 10 extra minutes to read the newspaper, go out for a jog, or simply enjoy your breakfast instead of wolfing it down (or even totally forgoing it). A good sleeping cycle is important in keeping a sharp and energized mind prepared for the day’s activities.

Learn to eat healthily too. One way of doing that is to merely have proper meals at the relevant timings. Another suggestion is to have 5 to 6 smaller meals instead of the 3 big main meals. This prevents snacking in between meals. Also, try not to eat 3 hours before you sleep as the food may not be digested properly before you sleep. Studies have shown that food taken just before sleeping forces the body to use its energy on digestion instead of helping you recuperate from the day. This may make you feeling less energized when you wake up. If you do feel the urge to start snacking, try having something healthy like an apple or a handful of nuts. This is a great way of maintain of one’s figure.

One more excellent way to have good health is to exercise regularly!

The good thing about exercise is the vast array of different work outs that you can do to keep fit. From jogging to swimming or even going to the gym or just climbing up and down your stairs, there just so many ways of exercising. So decide on which exercise you would want to try and start working out.

Exercising not only keeps one fit, but it also energizes the mind. By exercising at least twice a week, it helps promotes psychological well‐being. And a keen mind is needed to fuel oneself into reaching their goals.

Turn your dreams into a reality.

Become the successful person you wish to be. All this cannot happen unless you are serious about achieving your dreams. Take risks and do not be afraid to stumble and fall.

Do not just breathe, eat, sleep, and aimlessly watch the days go by. Live life and make your life something worth living for. Be proud of the changes that you are making in your life and believe without a doubt that you are changing your life to be much better than it was before.

So start taking action. Dreams can only become reality if you dare to change.

Become a different person from the one you were yesterday.

Stop complaining about the poor circumstances you are in and your recurrent meetings with bad luck. Choices, not circumstances, determine your success. We do not have to pursue success, because once we start changing the way we live and work towards our goals, success will be attracted to us.
