Pretending everything is fine in personal life stops one from admitting and seeking help to maintain one’s mental health. The prejudices prevailing around builds up a perception that directs one’s actions/interactions. Always maintaining a smile on face to conceal unhappiness is very taxing. The persistent need to fake or suppress feelings at times forces one to become an addict e.g, alcoholic, smoker; drugs etc. to hold back his/her negative emotions.  Aim to remain self motivated, stress free, flexible; accept a situation and control your emotional outbursts to while responding to the adverse conditions.  Do not hold back your emotions that define you; always give expression for your own happiness. 

Key to happiness lies within us

In life changes keep on taking place and some changes create circumstances beyond our control thus stressing us. The stress level can be kept in check by controlling our responses to these circumstances. Believe in self, remain positive, suffering is universal & inevitable, keep expectations & desires in check and maintain right speech & action. The key to happiness lies within us, cultivate generosity, tolerance, truthfulness, love and determination instead of promoting human afflictions like greed, hate, anxiety, fear, envy and passion.    

Lead a Blissful life- be master of own destiny.

Lead a Blissful life- be master of own destiny.

Drive away your fears, control repetitive & compulsive reaction and create a balance between mind and body. Being happy and joyful means leading a stress free life. Nature provides serene environment in which one gets the opportunity to converse with GOD in the quietness and have a Divine connect. Mind is difficult to control however emoting from heart in personal conversation with god, unburdening oneself, seeking benevolence invites divine grace.     

A carefree, expectation free & detached rather than a stressful worried approach to our dreams lets one live happily in today rather than making our happiness dependent on achievements of future. Avoid getting upset & discouraged that makes the journey difficult & tiring. The worries and stress not only harm the emotional self but even our physical body & relationships. Remember happiness is not later, it is always now.

Role of parents in the upbringing of child.

Role of parents in the upbringing of child.

Parents obsessed with examination outcome of children must endeavour to provide a conducive environment at home in which the child grows, studies and prepares for his/her future. The social relationships/interactions & behaviour patterns are keenly observed by children while growing up, the perception so built up contributes to his/her success. Focus needs to be on the feel good factor of child, optimum assertiveness and warmth is desirable. The regular conversation/social interaction face to face, acknowledgement, rewards & recognition for small-big achievements, leisure time physical activity like outdoor sports, and vacation amongst nature helps child acquire skills to sustain cut throat competition. Impressionable minds must not be allowed to waste time and energy in virtual & deceptive world of the digital technology (smart phones), the latest addiction pushing them into their cocoons (physical & mental isolation).

Softening & Expanding - Being Receptive to What You Want

Peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace means to be in the midst of all those things & still be calm in your heart.

In a world of harshness, it is time to soften & expand how we go about our life. In order to get what we want in life, we have to be willing to receive it when it appears & in order to do that we have to be open. Often we go through life with defenses we developed early on in order to protect ourselves. These defenses act as barriers, walls we needed at one time to feel safe, but that now serve to shut out desired influences, like intimacy or love. So an essential part of being receptive to what we want is to soften these barriers enough to let those things in when they show up. For example, we may spend a lot of time alone as a way to protect ourselves from being hurt by other people, but we can see how this is now preventing us from meeting new friends.

Another obstacle to our receptivity can be our tendency to believe that we have to act aggressively in order to achieve our desired goal. This can cause us to become mono-focused & to fail to see, & be open to, opportunities on the periphery of our vision. So becoming receptive involves a softening of our defenses & a willingness to remain open to possibilities outside our immediate realm of vision. If we are looking for love or friendship, it means first looking within ourselves to see where we are shut down & second, not getting too fixated on where we might find the love we want. In this way, we become more open as individuals & more expansive in terms of what we see as possible.

Often, the things & people we want to draw into our lives elude us because we are unconsciously blocking them out, either with our defenses, or with tunnel vision that causes us to not see them when they appear. When this is the case, we can take action by exploring & softening our barriers, & expanding our vision to encompass new possibilities. These actions are the essence of receptivity.
