Do you feel like bad things keep happening to you one after the other? If some days things are not happening as you desired, do you feel like something is not good?

Most of us live our lives feeling okay. We pray to God to get us out of bad situations, and when those situations disappear from our lives, we feel happy for a few minutes or days, and then we again get back to the cycle of feeling okay.

Everyone says to keep thinking positively all the time, but how do we do so? How can someone generate good thoughts 24x7? 

Is it possible? Let's find out!

Being positive all the time sucks!!!

Those who say "be positive no matter what" is simply spreading toxic positivity. According to Wikipedia- "It is a pressure to stay upbeat no matter how dire the situation is."

One cannot be happy or even okay if someone in his family is sick or he recently got fired. Hence, the point of remaining positive in difficult situations is invalid. 

However, developing and maintaining a positive attitude and having faith that you've got your back and that things will eventually get better can help ease your pain and let you live a stress-free life.

Well, in this blog post, we will get our answer and learn how to bring more positivity into our lives.

How to bring more positivity into your life?

Conclusion

Do you hate spending time alone? Do you get frustrated when suddenly your plans to go out get canceled?

I am sure most of you probably answered yes to the above questions. Because why not? A man is a social animal, and he always wants to be surrounded by a group of people to chill with and have fun.

However, if there is a time when you have no other option but to sit by yourself without your friends and family, what makes you so desperate to go out? 

Why do you hate spending time alone?

Of course, we need to maintain a balance between spending alone time with ourselves and spending time socializing. 

I myself get desperate some days because I so want to go out, but having no social circle makes me sad and angry. 

There are days when I want to be alone and spend time with myself, and there are other days when I feel lonely in my own company. 

If you didn't want to be alone but ended up feeling lonely and now this thing is scaring you off, then relax and read this entire blog post.

Here in this blog post, I want to put a light on some of the benefits of being alone and not getting disturbed:

1. Figure out the things that gives you happiness- It may take some time for you to figure out what drives your happiness. For instance, when I have no option but to sit at home doing nothing, I spend my time carving out ideas for my next blog post or for my Instagram account. Other times, I like to chill with my TV or listen to songs while looking up at the sky. Hence, it is important to give yourself some time and write out the things that bring utter happiness into your life.

2. Get up & stretch- Sometimes when we lie down and get lost in our own world of thoughts, we unknowingly hurt ourselves by reminiscing and thinking about past memories. So it is important to do something that will improve our overall well-being, and what's better than exercising? Hit the gym or start with only stretching to stop feeling lonely.

Conclusion

Do you also feel people keep getting under your skin? Do you often get irritated by someone else's simple yet weird habits? 

If so, you are not alone here! We all sometimes get disturbed by the behavior of others. 

Now let me tell you the hard TRUTH! 

If you keep getting offended or even hurt by someone's words, actions, or behavior, that is your problem. Because people behave according to their knowledge, wisdom, and karma. This does not have to do anything with you or your mood. 

You might think that it is impossible to keep calm when someone is constantly making you angry, frustrated, or irritated. 

But ask yourself if they are giving you the negative emotions or are you creating them on your own?

 When we are aware that our soul is made of seven qualities, which are purity, peace, love, joy, bliss, power, and knowledge, then why would we create negative emotions and hurt ourselves?

We believe that the other person is to blame for how we feel because we have forgotten our true inner qualities and seek them from outside sources.

The reality is that we do not need to go out and ask people to behave according to our way. They can act according to their ways while we remain indulged in our seven qualities. 

Let's understand this in a more accessible way!

What circumstances make us react negatively?

In our day-to-day life, we behave negatively even during not-so-big circumstances, such as:

• When your colleague or family member talks too loudly or does not keep their mouth shut while eating,
• When you get a bad grade, do not qualify for a job, or even miss a deadline,
• When others talk rudely to you without any fault of yours,
• When someone does something opposite of what you said to them,
• When someone is doing better than you,
• When you see or experience negative media.

Easy ways to stop giving power to people and remain unaffected in your life

Conclusion

Dealing with difficult people becomes easy when we are mindful of who we are and what we are. Instead of seeing people for their actions, let's understand that we are all souls who are responsible for our destiny depending upon our own karma. 

So, let's impress God and make a beautiful connection with him by doing good deeds instead of making people realize our worth!

Hope this helps! 

Do you also regret your words after a conversation?

We spend most of our time reacting to events and things happening in our environment. The problem is that these reactions aren't always the best course of action; as a result, they can upset others, make things worse for us, and even worsen the situation.

Sometimes we don't even intend to hurt others, but because we unknowingly react to the words of others, we may end up hurting our loved ones. 

This is why it is widely said by doctors and motivational and spiritual leaders to respond instead of reacting.

Before we move on to the practical advantages of responding, we must first know the difference between the two. Once we are aware of the pros and cons of reacting, we will automatically implement responding in our behavior.

Reacting refers to an instant response to an event or circumstances. For example, you hit me, so I'll hit you. You cheated, so I'll cheat as well. You irritated me. I will irritate you more. A reaction is a movement, tendency, or action that is taken in the opposite direction of what is intended. The reaction is defensive, emotional, and aggressive. When you react, you lose your emotional power and stability.

Responding, on the other hand, refers to a behavior that comes slowly. It is mostly based on logic and knowledge of your conscious and subconscious mind. For instance, if someone blocks you without giving you any reason, you don't get panicked and wait for them to contact you and clarify the reason behind their action. The response is more deliberative and supported by logic.  People who respond instead of reacting have good relations, more peace in life, and live a happy life.

Ways to implement responding rather than reacting

Conclusion

Moving on is the toughest decision we ever make in our lives. All the flashbacks, memories, late-night calls, and cute conversations hit us hard in the faces and keep replaying in our heads.

But endless fights, disrespectful and mean comments, physical or mental abuse, and feeling miserable, lonely, and unhappy are the TOP SIGNS you must let go of someone you love.

I know how hard it is to suddenly stop talking to someone who you thought was your best friend for life. 

In this post, I will give you some effective steps to follow that will improve your healing journey and help to soothe your wounds. 

Before starting, let me tell you, I too have been through this phase in my life, and it wasn't easy at all. I used to cry almost every day. My chest felt heavy, and my heart was in pain throughout that time. But I followed some steps, took one day at a time, and gradually learned to be emotionally independent.

Easy Steps That Will Help You Let Go Of Someone You Love And Fall In Love With Yourself

 If you have read my ebook "It All Starts With You", you already know what topic I am going to write about here.

In that e-book, I have already shared the importance of self-care and why putting yourself over others is not selfish.

I don't know what inspired me, but in this blog post, I again want to talk about the same. Perhaps because self-care is still undervalued today.

Part of the cultural society, especially when it comes to women are believed to be a superwoman. They are considered to work and do stuff for others and never get tired. In fact, men too are thought to be emotionless and robust because they are never seen expressing their concerns like women and being vulnerable.

Therefore, self-care and putting yourself before others are essential for everyone irrespective of gender. 

The real issue arises when we consider elevating ourselves above others. When we love our family, spouse, friends, and children, we tend to consider their needs above ours and how we can meet them.

Being considerate and compassionate toward others is vital but you must first put your own oxygen mask on before assisting others.

Why putting yourself first is necessary?

The top reasons that confirm putting yourself first are not bad

1. You can't serve others- No matter how much you do for others you will always end up being dissatisfied if you don't know how to put yourself first. If you want to be selfless and giving, you must start with yourself. When your own needs are met, you can give genuinely and without expectation to others.

2. Key to happiness- When you are satisfied with your life, you become more peaceful and content. When you put your needs first, your best self emerges. You have more to give to others when you support yourself. In addition to feeling good, it also makes you feel your best around your loved ones.

4. You develop more self-esteem- Self-love and self-care help to integrate self-esteem and confidence within you. The way you choose yourself and talk to yourself depicts your overall self-concept. Hence, putting yourself on a pedestal raises your self-confidence to the next level.

Your relationship with yourself is the most valuable relationship you will ever have in your life. The reason I always talk about self-love and self-relationship is that I have seen immense changes and growth within myself as soon as I befriended myself.

The way one feels about themselves is essential to healthy development. It's about loving yourself well for who you are. In my e-book, It All Starts With You, I have given you a whole picture of the self-love journey and how to start one. If you have some time for yourself, do check it out!

Many of us simply don't allow ourselves to accept and love ourselves, so how can we expect to be in a healthy and loving relationship with ourselves or others?

Well, to curate a self-sufficient connection with who you truly are, you must first start with self-love. It starts with finding beauty within yourself and accepting yourself for who you are.

What is self-acceptance?

When you do not change yourself for anyone else, be it peer pressure, your spouse, or, anyone else, that is called self-acceptance. 

The feeling of not liking your height, weight, body, and reality does not allow you to make a good connection with yourself. Many of us have been conditioned to believe that we must follow someone else's rules or fit into a specific box in order to find the right job, partner, or whatever it is that we seek. But remember that we are all unique and must all accept and fully embrace our individuality.

You must understand that nobody will like you or respect you if you do not like or love yourself. 

How can you have a good relationship with yourself?

Do you feel like bad things keep happening to you one after the other? If some days things are not happening as you desired, do you feel like something is not good?

Most of us live our lives feeling okay. We pray to God to get us out of bad situations, and when those situations disappear from our lives, we feel happy for a few minutes or days, and then we again get back to the cycle of feeling okay.

But remember that we are all unique and must all accept and fully embrace our individuality.

You must understand that nobody will like you or respect you if you do not like or love yourself. 

How can you have a good relationship with yourself?
