Inner Changes Create Outer Changes

July 31, 2015 by caine said so !

The quality of your life depends to a large extent on the quality of your emotional and mental life.

If you are lazy, worry too much, and afraid to try new things, you stick to the same spot.

If you are not afraid to change your thinking patterns, your life will soon change accordingly.

Your habitual thoughts, and the content of your subconscious mind, determine your behavior, and the way you act and react.

When you change the way you feel and think about things, and the way you react to people and situations, your actions and behavior change accordingly. These changes in you, create changes in your external, outer life.

If you are the worrying type, you are probably afraid of changes, and prefer to stick to the same kind of life that you know well. You see other people improving their life and achieving success, but you do not follow their steps, though you might wish to. If you do nothing, you will always stay where you are.

If you do not change your thinking patterns, and cannot visualize your life differently from how they are now, you will go on living the same kind of life, day after day. It might never occur to you that you can visualize a different, improved reality.

In this situation, your thinking pattern, your mindset, limits you. You constantly see in your mind’s eye the same day-to-day reality, and consequently, your conscious and subconscious minds keep being programmed to see and expect the same reality every day, and to create, attract and experience the same kind of experiences and activities.

Suppose you realize that your outer reality is shaped to a great extent by your inner world. This realization will make you to believe that you can make changes your life. You will start envisioning the kind of life you want to live.

If you keep thinking and visualizing a different and better kind of life, soon these thoughts will sink into your subconscious mind, and would motivate, inspire and energize you to take action in this direction.

Inner changes bring outer changes.

The new thoughts, will bring new expectations and hopes, and would change the way you view your outer world.
The inner changes in you, will gradually affect your outer life.
Your behavior, and the way you act will change.
You will have more energy, ambition and inner strength.
You will get over your fear of change, and be ready to take action to change and improve your life, in accordance with the changes happening within you.

All this requires some inner work and effort, and the use of a few techniques and exercises, like visualization, affirmations, willpower and self discipline and motivation.

Remember, inner changes bring outer changes.

Tips for Happiness in Daily Life

July 30, 2015 by caine said so !

You can make your life happier. It is a matter of choice.

It is your attitude that makes you feel happy or unhappy.

We meet various situations every day, and some of them may not contribute to happiness. However, we can choose to keep thinking about the unhappy events, and we can choose to refuse to think about them, and instead, think about and relish the happy moments.

.All of us go through various situations and circumstances, but we do not have to let them influence our reactions and feelings.

If we let outer events influence our moods, we become their slaves. We lose our freedom. We let our happiness be determined by outer forces. On the other hand, we can free ourselves from outer influences. We can choose to be happy, and we can do a lot to add happiness to our lives.

What is happiness?

It is a feeling of inner peace and satisfaction. It is usually experienced, when there are no worries, fears or obsessing thoughts. This usually happens, when we do something we love to do, or when we get, win, gain, or achieve something that we value. It seems to be the outcome of positive events, but it actually comes from the inside, triggered by external events.

For most people, happiness seems fleeting and temporary, because they allow external circumstances to affect it. One of the best ways to keep it, is by gaining inner peace through daily meditation. As the mind becomes more peaceful, it becomes easier to choose the happiness habit.

Tips for Happiness in Daily Life:

1) Endeavor to change the way you look at things. Always look at the bright side. The mind might drag you to think about negativity and difficulties. Don’t let it. Look at the good and positive side of every situation.

2) Think about solutions, not about problems.

3) Listen to relaxing, uplifting music.

4) Watch funny comedies that make you laugh.

5) Each day, devote some time to reading a few pages of an inspiring book or article.

6) Watch your thoughts. Whenever you catch yourself thinking negative thoughts, start thinking of pleasant things.

7) Always look at what you have done and not at what you haven’t.

Sometimes, you begin the day with the desire to accomplish several objectives. At the end of the day, you might feel frustrated and unhappy, because you haven’t been able to do all of those things.

Look at what you have done, not at what you have not been able to do. Often, even if you have accomplished a lot during the day, you let yourself feel frustrated, because of some minor tasks you didn’t accomplish.

Sometimes, you spend all day successfully carrying out many plans, but instead of feeling happy and satisfied, you look at what was not accomplished and feel unhappy. It is unfair toward yourself.

8) Each day do something good for yourself. It can be something small, such buying a book, eating something you love, watching your favorite program on TV, going to a movie, or just having a stroll on the beach.

9) Each day do at least one act to make others happy.

This can be a kind word, helping your colleagues, stopping your car at the crossroad to let people cross, giving your seat in a bus to someone else, or giving a small present to someone you love. The possibilities are infinite.

When you make someone happy, you become happy, and then people try to make you happy.

10) Always expect happiness.

11) Do not envy people who are happy. On the contrary, be happy for their happiness.

12) Associate with happy people, and try to learn from them to be happy. Remember, happiness is contagious.

13) Do your best to stay detached, when things do not proceed as intended and desired. Detachment will help you stay calm and control your moods and reactions. Detachment is not indifference. It is the acceptance of the good and the bad and staying balanced. Detachment has much to do with inner peace, and inner peace is conductive to happiness.

14) Smile more often.

A little Today, a Bigger Tomorrow

July 27, 2015 by caine said so !

Make a little bit of a positive difference today, and a little bit tomorrow too. You won’t change the world overnight, yet if you persist, with just a little every day, it will soon add up to something big.

Take measured steps toward your dreams, toward your goals. Be consistent and be persistent. There is a very real starting point right now, today, for anything you wish to achieve. Nothing is out of reach when you make the commitment to move steadily toward it.

Don’t wait until your dream is within reach — do what is necessary to put it within reach. Most of the things you desire will not come to you. You must make the effort to go to them, steadily and persistently.
