ELIMINATING NEGATIVITY

The cycle of good, is broken by a single act of negativity. The cycle of negativity is stopped by choosing the good -- not just once, but again and again until it is goodness that prevails in your life and in our world altogether.

Our emotions and actions are governed by our feelings . To progress and be happy we should surround ourselves with positivity. Most of the times practical implementation of Positive thoughts is not all that easy. A number of articles and books say that we should always surround ourselves with positive people and positive environment. When I applied this knowledge in my day to day life, I must admit that it does not seem practical. Then I came across a wonderful word "Awareness". Although I had read it a number of times I did not realize the potential strength of the meaning.

 

 "You have got only one life to live -  don't spill it"
                                                                                      Robert Schuller

 

Understanding the meaning of the word "awareness" is so important because when we live every moment with full awareness then only we realise how are we responding to the situations in our daily routine.

 

To live positively and eliminate the negativity out of our system we have to work our mind continuously. As soon as we find ourselves carried away  with the flow of the events, not realising that negative thoughts have already started to dominate at that very moment, we need to take a break -  "Time alone". Sit back, relax and change your thought process with full Awareness. A renowned author once used the phrase "Turn on the Dial" that means always keep on reminding yourself to switch your thoughts to positive ones, and that too with full Awareness.

 

"Today evil spirits are seen as negativity which floats around the Earth in large quantities"

                                                                                       Scott Cunningham

 

We can start practising this with meditation and periodically taking some time out for ourselves "Time Alone". Acknowledging  the fact, that we are going through negative emotions and feelings is the first step towards eliminating those thoughts. This is the First Step of Awareness. Next is to flush out these negative emotions and instead feed ourselves with positive affirmations and emotions. Each one of us goes through situations and problems at different stages of life, but the skills we master consciously and with full awareness, to counter these situations, help to live life in complete harmony.

When you are aware of the thoughts going in your mind, you can better take control of the situation and change the outcome. Taking control of your thoughts would not only help you to have a positive outlook but also let you see things with a wider perspective.

 

What we focus on, we empower and enlarge. "Good" multiplies when focused upon and "Negativity" multiplies when focused upon. The choice is ours: Which do we want more of?

 

Wishing you every moment of life, full of positivity and abundance.

EMBRACING THE CHANGE

When you are embodied in a location, in a physical plant, in a set of people, and in a common history, that constrains your evolution and your ability to evolve in certain directions.
                                                                                      Kevin Kelly

The process of evolving yourself over the years, is a creative process that requires willingness and consious awareness.

For personal growth and self- improvement we need to evaluate what are our strong attributes and whar are the shortcomings we are facing in our lives at this present moment.

By being receptive and open to new ideas we have the possibility to tread different paths that can eventually lead to a better and fulfilled life. With  the passage of time, we tend to develop a comfort zone. This comfort zone or should I call it a "narrow minded" approach might not be that easy to break through. By limiting ourselves into this "comfort zone" we eventually limit the realm possibilities that exist that could lead to a fuilfilled life.

Personally, my challenge is to embrace the change that comes with something new in my life. I keep myself motivated and encouraged to embrace the change due to the realization that any change will actually help me eveolve as a person.

For some individuals embracing any change is very easy, they just go with the flow of life.  But for some, leaving the "mind restricted" comfort zone is not a smooth ride. Following the road to your dreams may take you through lots of emotional turmoil . You might come across the situations where you would revisit the choices and decisions you made in the past. With the attitude of "letting go" and strong belief that things are happening for your good helps you to embrace the change and evolve yourself as a successful individual.

During this journey there would be experiences that would leave good memories and some would teach you lessons for lifetime.

Making a concious choice to move forward towards a fulfilling life is a commitment that you make with your inner self and an individual should  keep moving towards it with positive self-talk and use of positive affirmations.

Take out time to talk to yourself everyday, understanding your desires deep inside and evolving yourself in this journey to enjoy life full of bliss and contentment.

Stay Blessed

MIND CONDITIONING

"Fears are educated into us, and can, if we wish, be educated out."
Karl Augustus Menninger

It is amazing how we all are so occupied in our daily chores that we sometimes overlook the simple joys of life. There are times when the daily dose of inspiration comes from unexpected quarters. I am feeling so blessed as yesterday my kids were source of my motivation and inspiration. Both of them were trying to demonstrate an acrobatic activity and were very scared initially. It was amazing to see how they overcame fear and turned it into Motivation. Both of them would shout "Ahhhhhh" before the jump......the "Ahhhhhh" was supposed to get rid of the fear and then followed by the jump. It was a small jump, but with a Big lesson for me.

We unknowingly complicate things so much that we have totally forgotten the simple ways to enjoy our life, without stress. Before embarking on anything new and challenging there's a feeling of Fear that overpowers most of us that results in unfulfilled desires and dreams. Due to the feeling of fear of the unknown a lot of us refrain ourselves from embarking on new avenues that we have been yearning for a long time.

Take out the "ME TIME" for yourselves, then think about the feeling that held you back from doing something that you always wanted to do. Analyze the feeling and then consciously take steps to achieve what you have yearned for so long.

For my kids shouting out "Ahhhhh" helped them to overcome the inner fear and after what they achieved there was a expression of satisfaction and happiness. Its as simple as that.

Make a genuine effort to overcome your inner fears. These are the mental blocks that we have conditioned our minds through our years of growing up. We all need to take small steps towards breaking through these Inner Fears and notice the difference in our Self Being.

The key here is to be aware of your aim, risks and the inner fear. Conscious steps towards the Aim by overcoming fear will lead to success and eventual happiness and Bliss.

Everything we set our mind on, is achievable, we just need to be aware of the choices we are making. Feeling of "fear" is nothing but the limitations we have set for ourselves in our minds. Get motivated to overcome the fear and see what this beautiful Life has to offer you."

Stay Blessed
