Belief Recall the times how you handled a situation or how the
help you needed at that time came in when something you
were worrying about did happen .In hindsight, did that
‘bad’ thing even turn out to be a ‘good’ thing? Increase
your belief in yourself and in life, if it does happen, well,
you will deal with it. Believe in the thought - ‘I can handle
it.’ So, what is there to worry about? By realistically facing
our fear of “What if’s…” we free ourselves to enjoy
whatever today might bring.

Patience Today speed matters. We have developed the illusion that
life should operate at this pace. We have become addicted
to speed. We are impatient. We have to get there/get it
done as fast as possible. When we Rush, there is little
space to do things peacefully. When we operate in this
way our hearts shut down; our actions become
mechanical and our life loses its essence-fullness.

Self Compassion Challenging situations tend to affect our state of mind
for the worst. We often find ourselves sowing seeds of
fear, worry, tension and anxiety. These feelings grow,
and soon we find ourselves feeling negative, even when
we are not faced with immediate difficulties. The only
way we can defeat darkness is with light. To get rid of
the negative emotions and fear that lurks in the
darkness we need to seek out our inner light. When we
find peace and power within us we can make even
negative situations positive. We can practice Self-
compassion by writing a letter to yourself
acknowledging all of your positive characteristics .

Emotions Emotions impact our ability to act, react, create and
communicate. Life is all about experiencing different
emotions. But as we flow from one emotion to another,
from highs to lows and back, it can drain our energy.
Then, there are times when we stop the flow of
emotions and when we block our emotions or hang
onto them, it affects our health and wellbeing.
Therefore, sometimes we just have to be wise enough to
go with the flow. We have to put our trust in life & let
the current carry us.

Conscience The voice of our conscience is not to induce fear or
guilt, but for positive guidance. Our conscience is our
moral compass that guides us to shift in a positive
direction when we have done something wrong. Think
about taking your conscience to the cleaners regularly.
This means to examine if there is anything on your
conscience. Listen to your conscience. Let your
conscience prod you to clean up your act and become a
better you.

Worry Worry has more to do with deeper inner currents of not
feeling safe, feeling insecure and not feeling that one
can trust oneself, others or the world in general. We
then translate this feeling into worry about our health,
jobs, relationships, finances and achieving. We have all
noticed how when we are absorbed in what we are doing
we are not worrying. So, the antidote to over come
worry is to focus on training ourself to pay attention to
what is happening now. By giving worries attention we
give them energy, and then before we know it, molehills
have become mountains.

We are taught to believe in the ‘survival of the fittest,’ Survival
that the world is competitive and we must be 'top notch
' to survive. We live comparing our successes against
others successes. We live in fear of not surviving. Ask
yourself: Is it true that winning will bring us genuine
happiness? When we buy into this belief we are
guaranteed to make ourselves unhappy in order to
become happy. We find our journey to happiness
becomes solemn and often the resulting happiness is a
temporary experience. So, try dropping these sabotaging
belief and instead choose to cultivate contentment, joy
and bliss.

Simplify It is so easy to accumulate "stuff" - gadgets,
clothes, appliances, shoes. These stuff not only
take up space in our home but also in our
head. So simplify your life by reducing and
recycling. Just look around your living space
and take stock of what stays and what you can
easily live without. Accumulation of "stuff"
begins with shopping. So, the next time you
go shopping, look up the ‘I need’ items on
your shopping list. Check again if you really
need them ? Shop less and simplify your life.

Move on At some time or another we have all experienced our
share of hurt. But sometimes, we become so wrapped up
in the past that we continually replay scenes, events,
sounds, images of the person we believe did us wrong. As
we recall the hurt, we are recreating our feelings of hurt.
At this point, we are hurting our self. Stop hurting
yourself. Let go what has happened. Be free from
outdated thinking. Learn from past experiences & move
on . There are new horizons, new growth & a new life.

Emotions Watch out for emotion shifts. Become aware of how your
emotions moves you away from your core, how they take
you on a roller-coaster ride and drain you of energy.
Experiment with focusing more and more on your core i.e
peace and happiness and give less and less attention to being
angry or upset. When you give less attention to these
emotions like 'anger' or being 'upset" they begin to lose
their power over you over time .

The reason for misunderstanding others is Don’t Misunderstand
that we tend to assume other people’s
mind work as ours do. Remember, other
people’s minds will not necessarily be
reasoning as our mind and so we mis-
understand another’s actions and motives
. Also it maybe that we think we have got
the whole picture – that we are right and
that the others are all wrong – when in
fact it is rather that we might all be
looking at different ‘bits’ of the same
picture and if we joined all these ‘bits’
together the whole picture would emerge
before our eyes. This is Just like of the
story about six blind men describing an
elephant whose understanding of elephant
was the 'Bit' they touched not seeing the
whole animal.

Re Think Our mind set determines how we see the world and how
we respond to what we see. Generally, today our mind
sets are ones of fear and mistrust- these emotions then
become the basis of our reactions. These emotions also
have an impact on our health and all our relationships.
When we are Locked into a mind set, fixed into a ‘set’
frame, we tend to live on auto pilot- just reacting to
what we see. So now Its time to Re Think.

that the task is too difficult for you, first of all, sow the
seed of a determined thought. Think of such phrases ‘I

mind to it.’ Determination is the key for success. So, use

and we will find solutions easily. Today is a day of new

Egoless Ego likes to complicate things & to expand on things
because the ego likes to think it is superior & above all.
The ego in us makes us lash out or get defensive when
someone insults, disagrees or criticizes us. Without ego,
we are able to accept our flaws without compromising
our self-worth or downplaying our value. Today put
your ego aside and ask a younger person for advice. You
do not have to follow it, but do give it your honest
consideration. . .

Ask No one likes being told what to do. When we tell
someone what to do and their ears close and mind
switches off. It comes across as if we are ordering or
demanding. The next time you are ready to tell someone
what to do, "ask", and don’t tell. When you 'ask' you are
extending respect to the other person. It is a much better
way of communicating. Let the Love from our Heart be
the source & inspiration for all our actions.

Perspective When someone is being difficult or we cannot
understand them, it's better to leave our opinions and
emotions aside for few short moments. Then let us try
to see things from their perspective to understand where
their attitude/ feelings towards us is coming from. This
is wearing their shoes and walking a distance. Now, even
if we walk a mile in someone’s shoes, we still cannot
judge them because we can never really know the
reasoning behind someone's actions or what it is like to
be that person. So, let us try to understand others better
and this may improve our interactions and
relationships.

Mind Space Noise is classified as pollution. Similarly thoughts about
the past, worries about the future, thoughts about
possessions are the 'noises' within our minds that
decreases the free spaces in our minds leading to
limiting our creativity. Today, choose to stop negative
and waste thoughts which move at a very fast speed .
Instead create thoughts filled with positivity and good
wishes- these types of thoughts move at a much slower
pace making us free from our ‘mind noise'. Making the
mind peaceful and by creating ' space’ in our mind we
begin to understand ourselves and there is clarity to
make the right move at the right time

Embrace Change Resistance is a sign that our ego is being challenged and
that we are on the verge of something new. Whenever
we have to ‘face’ something new the first thing what we
meet is our own resistance. Most of us experience
resistance when we know that there is something within
us that we need to change; and in letting go of things
that we have gained competence in but now have to
move on to new challenges. Once we pass through it,
usually we find that something has ‘melted’ inside and
that happiness emerges. Embrace Change.

Responsibilities When we are responsible for something or people expect
us to be answerable for something, we tend to feel heavy
because of these responsibilities. With such a feeling of
having a burden, we are not able to fulfill our
responsibilities to the best of our ability. The Solution is
the holding to thought that "Whatever responsibilities
are given to us are according to our capabilities". When
we remind ourselves of this we will feel light and give our
best to fulfill all our responsibilities.
