RELAX AND RECHARGE

It is vital to our overall well being to learn how to control stress and tension, in order to restore balance and bring back joy in our life. 

Whenever you feel you're about to "lose it", remind yourself that thoughts and emotions come and go, and that you can CHOOSE what you want to think and feel at any given moment. 

Follow along the lines below: 

Take three breaths one after the other in synchronization, breathe from your nose and out of your mouth. 

Set the intention as you are breathing, that with each breath you become more and more relaxed and comfortable. 

Keep breathing until you feel more heart centered and more into the oneness of us all. 

Think good thoughts, think about all the great possibilities that are still awaiting for you in the future...

Know that you are good enough! Believe that you are worthy and deserving to live a happy and fulfilled life! 

You are blessed beyond measure, and you know it ...

Start acting and speaking with conviction and full intention to live a dreamy life, a life of your own creation! 

Believe that it's the absolute truth! Because it is! 

These words are meant for you to take to heart, to breathe in and to implement in your every day life.

KNOW THYSELF

Would you like to heighten or increase your self awareness? 

How would it feel to have a better perception of yourself and the world around you? 

It won't cost more than a few minutes of your time.

Here's an exercise you can do in order to get to know yourself a little better...

In the evening, give yourself a few minutes, to think back and reflect upon your day. 

Take out a pen and a sheet of paper and divide the paper into two columns: the good occurrences that you had throughout the day, and the less desirable ones. 

Pick one to three incidents/experiences/feelings that you like to work on or resolve, and think about what you could have done (something that was in your control) that would possibly influence or change the situation to a more favorable outcome.

For example: you had a terrible fight with your spouse right before you left for work. Things got out of hand, you lost control and insulted your wife/mate. In retrospect, you wish you hadn't said or done that.

The purpose of this exercise is not to "turn back time", unfortunately we don't have the ability to do that.

What's done is done. 

We cannot undue the past, even if it happened a split second ago..

However, what we will gain, through introspection, is a wealth of knowledge about our environment, but mainly about ourselves.

Further more, this can also provide the insight as to whether or not we have hurt someone.

More importantly, it will give us the opportunity to remedy or correct things. 

We could all use a bit of fine tuning or "tweaking", now and then. We can always improve ourselves and become better bosses, parents, spouses, friends, etc.

You'll be the judge, and decide if it's worth looking into.

CREATING MY LIFE PURPOSE

How well do you know yourself and what do you truly want to achieve in life? 

Go on a journey within yourself and discover what you're passionate about, what do value about life and what is it that matters to you most. 

Ask yourself: what can I do to create meaning in my life? 

When you ask the answers come. 

Don't let life "happen to you", instead, identify your goals and create a specific, realistic plan that you know you'll be able to carry through. 

Design your optimal life where you can experience happiness, peace and inner fulfillment. 

The responsibility to "fill in the blanks" between the moment you were born till the moment you pass, is solely up to you.

You are the one who has to create content to your life.

Live everyday fully as if it was your last. Know that you can make a difference in your life as well as in the lives of others.

RAISE YOUR VIBRATIONAL FREQUENCY

All of life is energy vibrating in different frequencies. "Raise your vibrational frequency."

We live in energetic fields that hold wide-ranging vibrations. 

Everything around us is rapidly moving energy - nothing stays still. 

When a molecule - a unit of energy - is moving faster, the higher and lighter vibration it holds. Conversely, the slower it is, the heavier and denser the frequency becomes. 

What seems solid is actually in a denser frequency, because it's moving in a slower rate which makes it appear solid. 

Everything we're able to witness in this physical world, seems like solid objects. 

In reality, what we cannot see is the movement in these objects - this energy that never ceases to stay still.

The same goes for the human body - we are also made of molecules that hold varied energetic frequencies. 

Our state of mind -consciousness - which is responsible for how we FEEL at any given time, determines how fast or slow the energy moves in our bodies. 

Why is it important to fully understand the above? 

Our emotional world plays a critical part in our everyday lives. 

Anger, hate, resentment, sadness etc, hold low vibrational energy which can be detrimental to our very existence. 

That is why it's critical that we pay attention to our level of awareness and make sure to raise our frequency to a higher level in order to FEEL better. 

How do we do it? 

By focusing our energy on LOVE! By concentrating on all the positives in our lives and constantly reinforcing them.

Why do this? 

Because the quality of our lives is not contingent on how we feel, but more importantly on making a conscious effort choosing to be ok, in spite of the challenges put before us. 

CONSCIOUS PRESENCE

During the course of our lives, many of us tend to "nest:" build a family, make friends, create a business and or develop a career. We make various choices, and keep setting goals in order to improve our lives and get ahead. 

Most of the time, we believe that we're doing our best, for the betterment of ourselves as well as for others.

"Life's race" is a continual movement  - we're constantly doing something.

The problem arises not in the doing but in the execution; The way in which we operate.

There are times we find ourselves doing things merely to "clock in". It's not so nice to admit, but under some conditions, we go through the motions just to feel good about ourselves; I helped my friend move, I was there for my colleague from work in her time of need - yeah me!! I've done my good deed for the day!

Then we do not understand why we still end up feeling emptiness after all that we have done! We transcended above our selfish nature, reached out, and have been there for others, even when it required much effort or didn't necessarily fit in our schedule.

So we ask ourselves: why am I not getting what is "due to me"? I'm a good person! 

The thing is, in life, it's not the action that makes the difference, but rather it's our consciousness: the place from which we function.

When we take action, whether it may be a phone conversation with a friend or a board meeting, are we really there?

Are we present, in mind, in thought, with the intention to infuse positive energy and influence for the good, or are we there in our physical 

body only?

Are we thinking about the other, about what he/she really needs or do we believe we know according to our standards?

When we approach everything from the right consciousness, we can create all kinds of magic. All we need to do is be fully present, in good faith, and with a sincere desire to be there for others.

Then everything will look and feel different and we'll be able to experience the elation we so long for. 

UNCOVER YOUR HIDDEN POTENTIAL

If you're looking for a way to make the world a better place, begin by improving yourself. 

What if you had the ability to be the best that you can be? 

Would you upgrade yourself to be the ultimate you? 

We all possess traits that we're not particularly fond of; think about the darker side within you, and how you can minimize it. 

Identifying these traits is the first step towards change and reaching your maximum potency. 

There is no better day than today, to begin improving yourself and developing the strengths that can make a difference in your life. 

The beauty is that you can use your talents not only to bring benefit and improvement to yourself. 

You'll be able to help others develop their own strengths to deal with their weaknesses so they too can advance and reach their full potential. 

Imagine what would that feel like ... Congratulations! YOU made a difference in the world! 

THE FORMULA FOR HAPPINESS

Do you wish to feel good, be happy, and fulfilled? Do you want to find your purpose and follow it through?

If your answer is yes, then you must assume control over your emotional world! 

You cannot expect to have order in your life as long as there's no peace in your heart. 

What do you focus on? What do you invest your energy in?

If you spend most of your time in thinking disempowering thoughts (I'm such a failure, how could I have done that, it's all because of them, I'm a lost cause, etc), which lead you to feel crappy, guess what? As you may presume, you won't get very far in life! 

Your head and heart are at your disposal - leverage their power to work for you, not against you. 

Contrary to what you may believe, your thoughts and feelings  can be shifted in an instant! You just need to replace the thought to a more favorable one. 

You can choose what your heart should feel! 

When a person is successful in replacing anger and rage with kindness, compassion and grace, then comes healing. 

The formula to experiencing happiness, is actively choosing to  fill our hearts and minds with love and care for ourselves, and then extending this loving energy outwardly to the world around us.
