The Silent Treatment Rarely Works

There are times when someone wants to talk and you give them the cold shoulder. You are there for that person in their bad times as well as good times. You make sure they are doing good and things are fine with them. But the longer this goes on, the more it exacerbates the problem. And then, there are times when you deliberately avoid talking to someone, but they don't even notice. They don't notice that you have distanced yourself from everyone, they don't realize that you are quiet (which you usually aren’t), they assume that things are fine with you, but they aren’t.  Ultimately you are the only one who suffers. For your own sake, start talking. Don’t keep things inside you. Talk to your family or friends, talk to someone with whom you are comfortable, but start talking. Keeping things inside you will make you suffer a lot. Don't expect people to understand what’s going on with you, it's better to talk and let them know how you are feeling. Only when you talk, s...

Laugh For No Reason

Become a performer. Be an actor and a singer. Act like you already feel like you want to feel. Don't wait until the feeling motivates you. It could be a long wait. Most of us believe that an emotion, such as happiness, comes first. Then we do whatever we do, in reaction to that particular emotion. Not so. The emotion arises simultaneously with the doing of the act. So if you want to be enthusiastic, you can get there by acting as if you were already enthusiastic. Sometimes it takes a minute. Sometimes it skips a beat. But it always works if you stay with it, no matter how ridiculous you feel doing it. Feel ridiculous. If you want to be happy, find the happiest song you know and sing it. It works. Not always in the first few moments, but if you keep at it, it works. Just fake it until you make it. Soon your happy singing will show you how much control you do have over your own emotions. When people do a laughing meditation in which they all gather in a circle and get ready to ...

Do Something Badly

Sometimes we don't do things because we're not sure we can do them well. We feel that we're not in the mood or at the right energy level to do the task we have to do, so we put it off, or wait for inspiration to arrive. The most commonly known example of this phenomenon is what writers call "writer's block." A mental barrier seems to set in that prevents a writer from writing. Sometimes it gets so severe that writers go to psychotherapists to get help for it. The "block" (or lack of self-motivation) occurs not because the writer can't write, but because the writer thinks he can't write  well . In other words, the writer thinks he doesn't have the proper energy or inspiration to write something, right now, that's good enough to submit. So the pessimistic voice inside the writer says, "You can't think of anything to write, can you?" This happens to many of us, even with something as small as a postcard to send, or an ov...

Lighten Things Up

Sunlight and laughter. That's what cures most fears and worries. Terrifying problems are better solved in the light than in the dark. And there are many ways to bring them into the light. Pick a frightening problem. Then do the following: talk about it with someone, draw an illustrated map of it on a huge piece of paper, make "Top 10" lists about the problem, tell yourself some jokes about the problem, sing about the problem, and, finally, dance a dance that expresses the problem. If you do all these things, I promise you that your problem will seem a lot funnier, and less frightening, than it once did. It is impossible to laugh deeply and be frightened at the same time. Humor is the highest form of creativity. It's the hardest to produce and the most enjoyable to receive. Humor, like all other creativity, is a matter of making unusual combinations. The more surprising the combination, the funnier the humor. Your own motivational level will always be lifted by ...

Open Your Present

Practice being awake in the present moment. Make the most of your awareness of this hour. Don’t live in the past (unless you want guilt) or worry about the future (unless you want fear), but stay focused on today (in case you want happiness). "Until you can put your attention where you want it," said Emmet Fox, "you have not become master of yourself. You will never be happy until you can determine what you are going to think about for the next hour." There is a time for dreaming, planning, and creative goal-setting. But once you are complete with that, learn to live in the here and now. See your whole life as being contained in this very hour. Let the microcosm become the macrocosm. It's amazing what can be done by people who learn to relax, pay attention, and focus, appreciating the present hour and all the opportunity it contains. It is said that in America we try to cultivate an appreciation of art, while the Japanese cultivate the art of appreciation...

The Reward

You will have seen the delirious happiness of sports teams winning championships, and of athletes winning gold medals and breaking world records. Their energy is so potent it sweeps over you; you are filled with exhilaration, and even stirred to tears. Yet our feelings in watching them are nothing compared to what the sports person or athlete is feeling in their moment of victory. For it's only after having taken every step of the journey, having persisted through the challenges and overcoming all the obstacles, that you can know what it truly feels like to experience the ultimate reward of the moment of success. The ultimate reward of the success of your dream does not mark the end of the journey, but the beginning of another. Suddenly, financial rewards and countless opportunities to expand or build on your dream will flood into your life. The money, opportunities, and success bring with them a glorious sense of freedom, but they don't compare with the overwhelming joy and...

Something Good is Just About to Happen

My mom always said that something good is just about to happen. I didn't realise this early on, but I've lived my life with the thought that no matter how dark or how difficult things become, there's this consistent hope that it's just about to turn. My mom gave me the gift of that. It keeps me positive and keep me always looking towards things in an optimistic manner. I've been very fortunate to live my life with that thought. Because of the duality on earth, there are always going to be both positive and negative experiences. But if you consistently look for the good and maintain a positive attitude despite outside circumstances, you will triumph. And there are no better words to remember to help you maintain a positive attitude than mom's words :" Something good is about to happen!" If you always know that something good is about to happen, your optimism will never waiver for long. People who are happy and successful think more about the good t...

Positivity

Read few beautiful notions which gave me a positive energy and I would love to share it with you all 😄 1) Every single day, no matter who you meet in the day - friends, family, work colleagues, strangers - give joy to them. Give a smile or a compliment or kind words or kind actions, but give joy! Do your best to make sure that every single person you meet has a better day because they saw you. This might sound like it is not connected with you and your life, but believe me it is inseparable connected through cosmic law. As you give joy to every person you meet, you bring joy to YOU. The more you can give joy to others, the more you will bring the joy back to you. 2)  Sometime it is better to focus on one thing at a time, so that you harness all your energy for one thing. That said, you can list multiple things you want and spend one day at a time focusing on each one, feeling as though you have received it. You will most likely find that the things you have the least conc...

A Relationship That Matters To You The Most....

If you are happy in life right now, it's not because everything about your life is necessarily going right, but because a relationship that really matters to you is going great. If you are unhappy in life right now, it's not because everything about your life is going wrong, but because a relationship that really matters to you the most is not going great. Relationships are like seeds. They have to be nurtured and developed. Expectations are like weeds. They grow on their own accord. When enough investment goes into building a relationship, the expectations in that relationship can be managed. When a relationship is left neglected, then the expectations in that relationship shake the very roots of the relationship. In a relationship where there is a substantial emotional reserve, mistakes will be tolerated and forgiven, the meaning will be understood even when communication is inadequate, and your intentions will be appreciated even if you fall short in your actions. ...

That One Day

Everything is beautiful around you. You are happy in your life. You are happy with that one special person in your life who means everything to you. But one day everything is changed. Nothing seems like before. Nothing isn't the same. All misunderstanding, All fights, Have screwed it up. And one fine day, Everything comes to an end. You are blank and don't even know what to do. You are still waiting for that one special person to come back to you and say, "I LOVE YOU,  YOU MEAN EVERYTHING TO ME'' BUT, You are left all alone.

It's Time To Believe That

You deserve to move on. You deserve to let go and uncork yourself from the past. You deserve to step forward into new possibilities and opportunities. You deserve to be happy. You deserve closure. You deserve to be with someone who fights for you and never thinks about giving up on you. You deserve someone who believes in you. You deserve someone who patronize you. You deserve someone who shows up. You deserve someone who chooses you, everyday and every time. You deserve someone who makes your heart dance and sets your soul free. You deserve someone who pieces you back together. You deserve peace, within yourself. You deserve to have all the things your heart beats for. You deserve to be loved. You deserve everything. It's time to believe that.
