3 steps to shake off BAD MOOD

Hi, My dear blogger friends, after a long long gap I am posting. I came across an interesting article and it just clicked me to share it on my blog, the three simple steps to shake off a bad mood.This is really helpful for me and many of them. Hope you find it helpful too

Each new day brings a rainbow of emotions.
With the good also comes the bad. Some
days, we can be caught in a gloomy funk
with no clear way out. Having a bad mood
isn’t the issue. It’s how we handle it that is.
A typical response to a bad mood is to try
and push it away or force it to stop.
Controlling your mood can actually make you
feel even worse. Pushing the discomfort
away amplifies the feeling. Instead of
swimming against the stream, just swim with
it.
Learn to let your mood pass with these three
simple step

Step One: Honor How You Feel

The first step toward getting out of a bad
mood is to honor your emotions. Find a
comfortable, quiet space and sit for one
minute of stillness. Become aware of how
your body feels and how your mood is
affecting you physically. Identify the tension
in your body and take five deep breaths in
and out. Breathe into the discomfort and
allow yourself to be present in the
experience. This step will help you accept
whatever it is that you’re feeling. Use the
power of your breath to soften the
discomfort.
Step Two: Flow with It

Now that you’re aware of how your mood
feels in your body, it’s time to just flow with
it. Take action by doing some kind of
physical activity like dancing, running, or
stretching. Move with your emotions, and,
eventually, they will move through you. Even
a five-minute walk around the neighborhood
can get your energy flowing and shifting.
Continue to use your breathing exercise from
step one by breathing into the mood as you
move with it. Combining these two steps will
help you shake up the stagnant energy in
your body and release you from your bad
mood.
Step Three: Choose to Let It Go

Often, we get stuck in a bad mood because
we’re unwilling to let go of negative
thoughts. Now that you’ve taken the
necessary steps to shift your energy, it’s time
to shift your mind. Commit to letting go of
your bad mood through the power of positive
thinking. Set your alarm clock with the
affirmation, “I choose happiness instead of
this.” Set this alarm four times throughout
the day. When the alarm goes off, recite the
affirmation in your mind. Continue this step
throughout the day each time the alarm goes
off. Your mental commitment combined with
your breath will create miraculous shifts.
Use these three steps any time you get into a
funky mood and trust that swimming with the
stream will always lead you in the right
direction.

Trple Filter Test

Hi dear bloggers. Hope you doing great. Lets enjoy this test.:)

In ancient Greece, Socrates was reputed to hold knowledge in high esteem. One day an acquaintance met the great philosopher and said,“Do you know what I just heard about your friend?”“Hold on a minute,” Socrates replied. “Before you talk to me about my friend, it might be good idea to take a moment and filter what you’re going to say. That’s why I call it the triple filter test. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?”“Well, no,” the man said, “actually I just heard about it and…”“All right,” said Socrates. “So you don’t really know if it’s true or not. Now, let’s try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my friend something good?”“Umm, no, on the contrary…”“So,” Socrates continued, “you want to tell me something bad about myfriend, but you’re not certain it’s true. You may still pass the test though, because there’s one filter left—the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my friend going to be useful to me?”“No, not really.”“Well,” concluded Socrates, “if what you want to tell me is neither true, nor good, nor even useful, why tell it to me at all?”

I really enjoyed this test.. hope you enjoy this.

Good Heart

Keep your heart beautiful forever

Life -A Masterpiece

Heya!! Dear Bloggers Hope you are doing Fantastic. I found this article very true and I wanted to share it to my dear bloggers.

You are an artist.

Yes.

You.

Your Life is your art.

Art is not just something in a museum.

It is your life.

I believe there’s a higher purpose for which you were born, beyond eating, and sleeping . Something beautiful and profound.

Musicians play with instruments. Artists create with tools. Flutes, drums, guitars, reeds, chimes, pots and pans, wooden spoons, pens, paper, clay, metal, cloths, paints, brushes—elephant dung. It’s all up for grabs. But the true “artists” of life—let’s call them “lifists”—create with their hearts. It doesn’t matter if you’re a musician, a waiter, a parent, a teacher or a mechanic. It doesn’t matter if you’re pouring coffee, scrubbing floors, trading shares, or coaching kids on the playground. You can be walking, sitting, speaking, or meditating. It’s not “what” you do, but “how” and “where” you do it from. Are you connected? Is your heart in tune? Are you a heartist?

At any moment you can create magic. At any moment you can do something different from what you have done.

I urge you to let go of what you know. Let go of someone else’s road map.

Blaze your own trail.

Just because what you want to do has never been done before, it does not mean it cannot be.

Dare ecstasy.

Defy gravity.

Transcend what people tell you is impossible.

Especially those who have never done what you are seeking to do.

Deep within your heart there is something magical that wants to be given birth to through you. It is the force of Life itself seeking to express through you.

SO:

• Let go of any judgements of what your life creation looks like.
• Embrace “failure” with delight as a learning opportunity that brings you one step closer.
• Get radically curious about everything.
• Don’t take yourself too seriously.
• Let go of control.

Anything great or revolutionary that has evolved humanity forward was not done by copying something from the safety of the past. The past is dead.

Feel this moment as deeply as you can.

Let it move you.

And find out what happens.

Your heart is your paintbrush. The entire universe is your canvas. Your life is your art.

Dare to make it a masterpiece.

Heart+Mind=Perfect Soul

Heya! My dear bloggers, hope you are doing great. I haven’t been up to blogging much these days because of some stuffs. (Sometimes busy + mostly lazy +a bit fuzzy. LOL). There are  lot of things I would like to share from days. I would not blame the time, or say that “No time” because one thing I learnt from life, the moment we stop giving excuses, our life will move amazingly. I missed you my dear chulbule blogger friends!

 

   Sometimes I tend to make quotes, Yeah “QUOTES”.. : P. I remember on an another day, whole day I was just observing people around, their reactions, their movements.. Everybody had different expressions, most of them were sad (lips curved downL) some were arguing and a very few had smile on their faces. They revealed more positivity. Well, when I was back to home, I was just lying and the words came to me

 

          “Keep little heart in your mind 

                         Keep little mind in your heart”                                

                                                                                                  ~ Khushbu (Jenny)  

 Thank God for bringing these words to me. Nothing stopped me to think more and to write.

 

  I have heard some people saying, “USE YOUR BRAIN!!”   And Some say, “LISTEN TO YOUR HEART!!”   I think we should make both of them live together, think together, because listening to your heart and head is crucial to good decision making about your life (decisions in relationship, career, goals etc)

   Little heart in your mind!!!  

 “Wherever your heart is, that is where you’ll find your treasure.”   When you use only your head your experience of yourself and the world is limited and you miss out the vital part of the heart.   Anger!  Where does it come from??? I guess it come from both heart and mind, but our minds react at faster speed when someone argue, or when someone insults, or any other reason which makes us angry. At that time we do not think to control our tongue or actions. Anger controls us, in short Anger burns us!! So why not “Burn anger before anger burns you!!”. Next time when you get angry, knock your heart, try to be calm and peaceful. We must put anger/our heart in something wonderful, do things which make you happy, do any of your favorite tasks. That helps. Yeah it calms you down. Whenever I get angry I just take my guitar and start practicing a new song, so my entire focus goes on learning and by the time anger vanishes. See, there is no anger, only sweet warm feelings. Do what you love the most.   Sometimes people are not able to forget the people at whom they are angry and tend to get in to the angry zone at another time. So the best way to over come anger is to use your little heart in your mind that of forgiveness, patience for bearence. Forgive, and be free! Every night before you retire, replay the day’s happenings, where you cheated someone? Did someone offend you, hurt you, or treated you badly? Call out the persons name from your heart and say “X- I forgive you and set you free”. This will actually set you free. You will sleep peacefully. Just like anger there are other emotions where we need to call out heart and take some actions.   “Behave so the aroma of your actions may enhance the general sweetness of atmosphere”- Henry David Thoreau

 

   Little mind in your heart!!! 

         Emily Dickinson has rightly quoted, – “The brain is wider than the sky”   The human brain is truly amazing. Think about it, our entire life history and every piece of knowledge we have ever yearned is stored in 3 pounds gelatinous mass in our head. And yeah, today you are able to read this post, because your brain works . Because there is communication between hearts without such language knowledge, it has its own language, that can be only felt. So brains are important too as every part of our body.   We live in a world which is developing day by day, where excess sweetness his harmful. Yeah don’t be “tooooooo SWEEEET”   Sweetness can be expressed in many ways, like sharing a smile, speaking kind words with love, making an encouraging statement, making a sacrifice, random act of kindness. Sweetness is most probably expressed by our hearts. As with all qualities sweetness need to be balanced with a deep sense of sensibility and dignity.

      Knock your brain, you need not be so sweet that other take advantage of you. Learning to value yourself is the act of sweetness that should be done by your mind and there is no harm in that. When you sacrifice something important for someone, ask your mind, “whether she or he deserves that”   “When you’ll use your beautiful heart and brilliant mind together, you’ll see your beauty, creativity and light”   there are many situations where we need our heart in mind and mind in heart.   This was just one example. Do share your thoughts here by your valuable comments.   I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for reading and commenting on my post. I read each of them with a smile and it’s your response, love and enthusiasm which makes me want to write a lot more…. 

        Wise People advise us to be happy by feeling ever tasty as your birthday, which i do everyday. But, what to feel when it’s the real birthday out of my 365. No doubt, i must feel as if I am @ the heaven and celebrating my goodness of knowledge I gain, love from all and the pleasant nature of the world. A few words Dil Se, for every Dil chahta he to make my day something special with every wishes i feel to the deep of my heart. The pursuit of happiness never ends, neither the interest of my blogger friends. Thanks for making my day so precious… Thanks to the almighty, my parents, friends and ever connected bloggers.

Bricks of Life ( Personality Branding Part 2)

Hi Readers, its really nice to see you here at my live life blog. Hope you are doing well! I know branding is not a regular post on my blog and neither its once in a blue moon. Utmost whom I can blame is my PROCASTINATION and Christopher Parker Has quoted it rightly 

“Procrastination is like a credit card: it’s a lot of fun until you get the bill.”            

Because, my river of thoughts never stopped flowing.

It is continuation of  Branding your life Part 1.Here when it comes to branding our life it is very clear, that it is something that does both happen overnight.The most it requires is patience and determination for the achievement. In this, whole process, what is important is

• The Way you Present
• The Words you Use

Both of these are very important and play a major role in every circumstance. It is very tough to distinguish the amount of importance as the proportion changes everywhere as the theory of relativity.

The Way you Present

            It could be your body language, your dressing, your grooming, reacting and ability of reasoning and this could actually come out of only the intelligence from which comes from the knowledge and experience you have in addition to the attitude you carry

The Words you Use

           It includes, your gesture, your different words and situational  adages, the more you observe these things and use it consciously, it makes you aware of yourself and gives you clarity in communication. It
makes the communication effective and the  most important thing is
that  you can turn the whole process your own  way.

The more  you do the above stuff, you   would become more conscious of
your powers and  abilities. The more you horne  these skills, more you
add  the bricks to the wall of your personality.  The foundation
hassles already set  with the previous post,, and its time for the
block  buster personality which would be released  soon in the next
posting.

Five Frogs on a log

Heya!! Hope you are all doing great!!

Five frogs are sitting on a log.

Four decide to jump off.

How many are left?

Answer: five.

Why?
Because there’s a difference between deciding and doing.

Their Sacrifice, Our Gain

Today morning, When i was admiring the beauty of nature in terrace, i saw trees,  beautiful, so beautiful…

I like trees around, because they make life more pleasant. Most of us respond to the presence of trees beyond simply observing their beauty. I feel serene, peaceful, restful, and tranquil in a grove of trees…

There are many lessons that we can learn from trees!! They Inspire me in million ways..

We gain lots of things by the sacrifice of the trees like wood, paper, medicine, so and so(There is endless list)… They never expect anything in return.. Likewise we should learn to sacrifice. It has its own rewards.. Everyday little sacrifice would make life wonderful and meaningful … It paves the way for success in healthy relationship. 

Sweat plus sacrifice equals success.

            -Charles O. Finley

Part of the happiness of life consists not in fighting battles, but in avoiding them. A masterly retreat is in itself a victory.

          -Norman Vincent Peale

Self-sacrifice is the real miracle out of which all the reported miracles grow.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Sacrificing your happiness for the happiness of the one you love, is by far, the truest type of love.

Thanks to WordPress, Blogspot and other blogging websites.. They help readers to express their feelings on their blog rather than paper Perhaps trees are saved I know it sounds funny&crazy..

It’s time to…

A brand new year….

To live,
to believe,
to give,

to receive,
to share a smile,
to walk an inch, to run a mile,
to dive into sunsets,
to forgive,
to forget,
to love where you’re going,
to embrace where you’ve been,
to take a deep breath,
close your eyes
. . . and begin.

There are always certain people you admire & appreciate for their work and you also love it..

First of all, I would like to Thank My Brother for the idea that i should create a blog and write my experience and ideas, and then to all my friends for their tremendous support… I never thought that I would write like this … The above lines were just comments on one of the Elyas( A magical Writer) Post… And, Amira (Beautiful Soul+Wonderful Writer) suggested me to blog this… Thank You! Thank you!!.. Both of you..  :) 

Blissful New Year!!!

About New Year-A Poem.

RESOLVE TO MAKE A CHANGE

NEW YEAR is ahead, new hopes are alive

The aspiring soul is often driven by hopes

Life becomes beautiful with more beautiful thoughts

Perfection is not a rare commodity, let’s strive for it

While Silver cloud turning Red, the day ends and so the Year

The dawn of tomorrow welcome the new day, also the New Year

What’s your resolution, the world asked me

What’s my resolution, I asked my inner self

Let’s resolve to lead a meaningful life

Make a resolution; be truthful to your heart

Trivial resolutions are not going to make any good

Resolve to uproot the darkness from your mind

NEW YEAR comes, new hopes are blooming

Sun rises at the same direction, does it ever change?

New Year comes, new resolution sparks

Moon comes only at night, it’s routine never changes!

Resolve to make a change, with all your good deeds

Love all and hate none, all Nationals united by heart

What all these resolutions worth, if it doesn’t make a change

With new thoughts and action, let’s welcome this NEW YEAR
