"Relaxing with a Mental PDA" Your 5 minutes daily program to Stress management

 We all have this favorite expression when it comes to being stressed out, and I wouldn't bother naming all of them since it may also vary in different languages. But when it comes down to it, 

I think that it is how we work or even relax, for that matter that triggers stress.

 Ever been stressed even when you're well relaxed and bored? I know I have.

Since Error! Hyperlink reference not valid. is unavoidable in life, it is important to find ways to decrease and prevent stressful incidents and decrease negative reactions to stress. 

Here are some of the things that can be done by just remembering it, since life is basically a routine to follow like brushing your teeth or eating breakfast. You can do a few of them in a longer span of time, but as they say-- every minute counts.

Managing time

Time management skills can allow you more time with your family and friends and possibly increase your performance and productivity. This will help reduce your stress.

To improve your time management:

• · Save time by focusing and concentrating, delegating, and scheduling time for yourself. 
• · Keep a record of how you spend your time, including work, family, and leisure time. 
• · Prioritize your time by rating tasks by importance and urgency. Redirect your time to those activities that are important and meaningful to you. 
• · Manage your commitments by not over- or under committing.
• -  Don't commit to what is not important to you. 
• · Deal with procrastination by using a day planner, breaking large projects into smaller ones, and setting short-term deadlines. 
• · Examine your beliefs to reduce conflict between what you believe and what your life is like. 
• Build healthy coping strategies

It is important that you identify your coping strategies. One way to do this is by recording the stressful event, your reaction, and how you cope in a stress journal. 

With this information, you can work to change unhealthy coping strategies into healthy ones-those that help you focus on the positive and what you can change or control in your life.

Lifestyle

Some behaviors and lifestyle choices affect your stress level. They may not cause stress directly, but they can interfere with the ways your body seeks relief from stress. 

Try to:

• · Balance personal, work, and family needs and obligations. 
• · Have a sense of purpose in life. 
• · Get enough sleep since your body recovers from the stresses of the day while you are sleeping. 
• · Eat a balanced diet for a nutritional defense against stress. 
• · Get moderate exercise throughout the week. 
• · Limit your consumption of alcohol. 
• · Don't smoke. 

Social support

Social support is a major factor in how we experience stress. Social support is the positive support you receive from family, friends, and the community.

 It is the knowledge that you are cared for, loved, esteemed, and valued. More and more research indicates a strong relationship between social support and better mental and physical health.

Changing thinking

When an event triggers negative thoughts, you may experience fear, insecurity, anxiety, depression, rage, guilt, and a sense of worthlessness or powerlessness. These emotions trigger the body's stress, just as an actual threat does. 

Dealing with your negative thoughts and how you see things can help reduce stress.

• · Thought-stopping helps you stop a negative thought to help eliminate stress. 
• · Disproving irrational thoughts helps you to avoid exaggerating the negative thought, anticipating the worst, and interpreting an event incorrectly. 
• · Problem solving helps you identify all aspects of a stressful event and find ways to deal with it. 
• · Changing your communication style helps you communicate in a way that makes your views known without making others feel put down, hostile, or intimidated. 
• This reduces the stress that comes from poor communication. 
• Use the assertiveness ladder to improve your communication style. 

Even writers like me can get stressed even though we're just using our hands to do the talking, but having to sit for 7 or 8 hours is already stressful enough, and have our own way to relieve stress. 

Whether you're the mail guy, the CEO, or probably the average working parent, stress is one unwanted visitor you would love to boot out of your homes, especially your life.

Why not Watch an Anger Management Movie? + Why Children may Benefit from Anger Management

 Since anger management seems to be a huge problem in society today, there have been many programs developed, books are written, Internet websites created and anger management movies filmed. Although all of this help is in place and available for anyone, not all people with anger issues benefit from the same source.

 For some people attending an anger management program may be effective and cause major changes in their behavior. Being able to steal away alone with a book may be helpful to a person with anger issues. Seeing their problems in print and being able to sort through it in their mind might be a great anger management tool. 

The Internet is a great source regarding anger management and some may find it helpful to view the different sites and read stories about individuals with anger management issues. However for many people who have difficulties controlling their anger, watching an anger management movie might be what it takes to break them out of their pattern of angry outbursts.

Watching an anger management movie would make the individual actually see, with their own eyes and hear with their own ears, just what anger does to a person and those around them.

 An anger management movie would likely provide illustrations and situations where individuals act on their anger.

 The movie may apply exactly to an individual's current circumstance. It may hit home - so to speak. Watching the actors play out their lives and their behavior may be an eye-opener. 

It may take watching a husband abuse a child or wife, a mother attacking her kid, a child bullying another child, to realize that anger is a significant problem. 

When an angry person is in their situation, they are likely blaming it on whoever gets in the way.

 Being in the picture they are incapable of watching their performance. 

If given the chance to see it on the big screen, they might be surprised and even devastated by their actions. 

Watching an anger management movie would probably be like watching yourself in a similar situation. This may be the tool that works best for some individuals. 

An anger management movie will not only give illustrations of the actual situations involving anger. The movie will likely provide information regarding anger management techniques. 

Using these techniques and the characters in the movie, likely there would be illustrations of people being introduced to anger management techniques and programs. 

The movie would explain the steps to dealing with anger issues.

 This type of anger management movie might be the answer to many people's problems.

 It would be fitting if the anger management movie showed the person in the same situation as the first scene, as a changed individual. Showing how the individual was able to receive help through anger management and turn their lives around, may just be the incentive needed. 

No doubt there are all sorts of anger management movies available. 

The Internet is a great source of information regarding anger management and anger management resources such as books and anger management movies. 

If you think you or someone you know would benefit from watching an anger management movie, it would be a wise idea to get your hands on one.

Why Children may Benefit from Anger Management

Dealing with children who have anger problems may be challenging and require thought and imagination. A child's mind is normally not developed enough to deal with intense feelings of anger. They cope with these emotions in their own childlike manner which usually involves acting out or throwing a tantrum. 

Unaware of the specifics which cause these behavioral actions, children are not prepared to explain or share their feelings. 

Finding programs and resources for effective anger management in children will likely require planning and well thought out programs. 

A person who is developing an anger management program for children needs to consider activities and exercises that may interest children. Sticking a child in a support group setting or arranging an appointment with a psychiatrist will not likely produce positive results.

 Since the child doesn't understand their feelings of anger themselves, it would be difficult to share or talk about them with others.

 Children would benefit from anger management activities designed specifically to address their problems. 

Children are familiar with worksheets, coloring pages, and puzzles. These sorts of activities are used daily in the school setting. Incorporating anger management lessons into these activities would make sense. Anger management worksheets could be disguised as fun and interesting. 

These anger management worksheets could teach techniques and strategies for controlling anger in such a way that children would understand and respond to it. 

Using familiar situations in coloring pages or related words in puzzles may help a child to deal with anger issues without making the situation complicated. 

Children love to play games and have fun. 

Besides using anger management worksheets, it might be beneficial to incorporate games into a children's anger management program. 

Many issues regarding anger in children arise from jealousy and competition.

 Playing games that teach children healthy interaction with other children as well as a fair play would make a difference in their behavior. Teaching children that it's alright to play games and not always be the winner would be beneficial to a child's behavioral development. 

Designing activities that include role-playing might help children to realize that they can't always be the center of attention. 

Anger management for children can be taught in all sorts of ways which will be both productive as well as enjoyable.

When children display signs of anger and upset, anger management worksheets could be used to uncover the underlying problem. 

Listing different possibilities for their anger and having them read over them to see which statements apply to them might be beneficial in treating kids with anger issues. Simple sentences, using everyday dilemmas that a child might encounter could be used in these anger management worksheets. 

Children may not even realize the reason for these worksheets yet they may be providing relevant information that could help in the treatment of their problem. In order to create an anger management worksheet that will benefit children, the individual needs to understand how a child's mind works, as well as what interests them and use this knowledge to develop an effective anger management program for children.

To improve your life you can also volunteer to help someone. You can wrap a gift this year for a homeless or deprived child. Many things you can do to improve your personal life.

LAWS OF MAGNETIC ACTION+LAWS OF MAGNETIC DEVELOPMENT

 FIRST LAW: Relation of Power to "Tone". 

The effectiveness of magnetism in action depends upon harmony of "tone" between its possessor and any other person, and in securing such "tone"  harmony, on any magnetic plane, in any particular psychic state, at any given time, psychic and physical magnetism mutually cooperate. 

SECOND LAW: Magnetic Intention. 

The magnetic intention ("I INTEND MAGNETICALLY") intensifies otherwise unconscious magnetism, and runs through all the mass of general etheric vibrations like a theme in complicated music, imparting to them unity, character, intelligence, and definite and enormous effectiveness in practical employment. 

THIRD LAW: Influence of Purpose. 

In the employment of magnetism, long-run purpose establishes etheric character, and specialized purpose confirms that character if it concentrates the general purpose, but confuses that character, perhaps destroys it, if it antagonizes the general purpose. 

FOURTH LAW: Force of the Ideal. 

The idealism of motive determines the character of etheric vibrations, and idealism of magnetic activities determines the quality of magnetism achieved. 

FIFTH LAW: Sway of Other Interest. 

The general sway of other interest in life, and the particular influence of other interest on special occasions, impart to uses of magnetism enormous effectiveness, and not least in relation to self. 

SIXTH LAW: Reaction of Admiration. 

The consciousness of admiration for others, recognized by them, reacts with tremendous power to stimulate magnetic action. 

SEVENTH LAW: Measure of the Intake. 

In the magnetic life, intake of power is correctly measured by the output of power: inversely in waste, directly in intelligent expenditure. 

EIGHTH LAW: Adjustment. 

Magnetic effectiveness is proportioned to accuracy and fulness of adjustment, to things, to laws, to forces, to times, to situations, to qualities, to facts, to truths, to persons, and only studied experience can discover and establish such adjustment. 

The problems of adjustment to persons are these: 

With inferiors, to put self magnetically, without the appearance of condescension, on their levels for the end in view, applying then the general principles of magnetism. 

With equals, to apply the general principles. 

With superiors, to assume their level while magnetically deferring, without adulation or humility, to such superiority, regardless of its reality or unreality, for the end in view, applying the general principles of magnetism. 

NINTH LAW: The magnetism of identity. 

The magnetic value of adjustment expresses the force and completeness with which the individual can identify himself with another person, suggesting oneness through attitude, gesture, act, eye, tone, language, and telepathic sympathy. 

TENTH LAW: The use of reactions. 

Magnetic skill exhibits in the manner in which beneficial reactions are received and utilized, negative or indifferent reactions are ostensibly ignored, yet constituted stimulation for further persistent magnetic action, and hostile reactions are refused, without ostentation, but with determination (if worthwhile) to "win out" through better adjustment and increased magnetic endeavor. 

ELEVENTH LAW: Magnetic attack. 

Magnetic success demands the direct attack when etheric harmony of "tone" is assured, but the indirect method otherwise; that is, such attack-methods as will secure that harmony. 

TWELFTH LAW: The conquest of antagonism. 

Magnetism ostensibly ignores, and refrains from, exciting antagonism; but, when antagonism is evident, rejects it and proceeds on the indirect attack, or openly accepts it and adopts the direct or the indirect method as the one or the other promises speediest and most perfect harmony of "tone". 

THIRTEENTH LAW: Mortal antipathies. 

Success-Magnetism conquers the influence of deep-seated natural antipathies only by avoiding their causes. 

FOURTEENTH LAW: Re-adjustment.

 The etheric life is an unceasing reaction, and magnetism, therefore, demonstrates itself by squaring with every issue and making of every change and every defeat a new opportunity. 

FIFTEENTH LAW: Control of output. 

It is important to know when to open the circuit that is, to cut off the current of magnetic force as it is to know when to close the circuit to pour forth magnetic influences. 

SIXTEENTH LAW: Concession.

 Concession becomes magnetic in its timeliness. If premature or belated, it defeats magnetism. 

SEVENTEENTH LAW: Harmonic conditions. 

Magnetism enhances through beauty of personal surroundings, in cleanliness, order, adornment, art, literature, music, and the like. 

EIGHTEENTH LAW: Sovereignty of will. 

Is the director of native and unconscious magnetism and the creator and director of developed magnetism. The power of will is indispensable to magnetic power. 

NINETEENTH LAW: Energy in magnetic action. 

The projection of magnetic influence proportions to inner, conscious intensity of psychic and nervous states. Exploding powder in the gun calls for the man behind the weapon, and the soul within the man, and powerful vibrations within the soul's arena, and magnetic intention within the vibrations, and psychic energy within the intention. 

TWENTIETH LAW: Self-control. 

Magnetic power becomes effective precisely as mastery of self, in restraint and in handling, approaches perfection. 

TWENTY-FIRST LAW: Magnetic handling of self. 

The attitude of magnetism, the magnetic intention, and psychic pose, "I stand positively magnetic toward this person or this situation,"  constantly maintained, ultimately instructs in all the arts of magnetic self-handling through the law of auto-suggestion, and realizes in the practical form its own ideals. 

TWENTY-SECOND LAW: The magnetic mask. 

The mask of magnetism achieves effectiveness when it covers personal states and purposes in a manner positively to attract, and in that manner alone. 

TWENTY-THIRD LAW: Magnetic consciousness.

 Intense magnetic consciousness without thought concerning it secures, by its uplifting and stimulating influence, the greatest exaltation of personal powers when employed. 

TWENTY-FOURTH LAW: Magnetic faith. 

 Deep and vital faith in the certainty of magnetic success renders all latent and developed magnetism dynamic if that faith is thrown into action. 

TWENTY-FIFTH LAW: The demand in use.

 In the application of magnetism to any task, intense, persistent demand upon the Universal Forces swings them directly into the effort. 

TWENTY-SIXTH LAW: The affirmation in use. 

When, in the application of magnetism, one affirms, mentally, intensely, persistently, "I am receiving and exerting power," he unconsciously calls to aid all the success-elements and makes himself a center toward which the Universal Forces inevitably gravitate. 

TWENTY-SEVENTH LAW: The magnetic telescope. 

The magnetic attitudes, faith, demand, and affirmation, constitute a magnetic telescope through which the distant goal of success is magnified and all nearer obstacles, lures, and irritating conditions are closed out of view. 

TWENTY-EIGHTH LAW: Magnetic accumulations. 

Magnetism, through correct application to life, not only develops in the individual, but accumulates in his environment, and reacts beneficially without direct personal supervision. 

TWENTY-NINTH LAW: The personal atmosphere. 

The personal atmosphere exactly reflects the inner self, and it furnishes a perfect field for magnetic effectiveness only when the self and the body are clean and buoyantly healthy.  

THIRTIETH LAW: Subordination of physical magnetism. 

In the subordination of physical to psychic magnetism, each finds its greatest effectiveness according to the relative development of both orders. 

THIRTY-FIRST LAW: The fixed idea.

Long-continued association with some fixed, great and attractive idea sets into operation certain deep, subconscious operations of the soul, which, for a time unrecognized and unmanifest in life, gradually and surely coordinate all individual powers thereto, induce a working of the whole system in harmony therewith, and finally emerge in the objective life and consciousness as a unified, actual dynamic force. 

The idea has swung the individual, has transformed him, has harmonized and intensified his faculties and his personal ether, has come to sovereignty in his personal atmosphere, and from there exerts a dynamic force upon other people and life's conditions. 

This article has tried to saturate you with the idea of success coordinating with its necessary elements and has thus endeavored to swing your whole being into the mighty belief that large success is also for you. 

LAWS OF MAGNETIC DEVELOPMENT

FIRST LAW: Discovery of the endowment.

The limits of magnetic endowment latent in every normal person emerge only through prolonged effort in the culture of magnetism. 

SECOND LAW: Difficult environment. 

Magnetism develops in direct proportion to the difficulty of the environment. 

THIRD LAW: Magnetic intention. 

Magnetism evolves solely through the multiplication of endowment into the environment by the persistent magnetic intention. 

FOURTH LAW: Free adjustment. 

The culture of magnetism imperatively demands that central adjustment of the self to all powers which realizes in absolute psychic freedom. 

FIFTH LAW: Concentration. 

The magnetic multiplication of endowment into the environment is only possible to intense, persistent, and unified concentration to the methods of Success-Magnetism. 

SIXTH LAW: Purpose-ideals. 

Growth of noblest magnetism depends, in the larger sense, upon general adherence to a single, preeminent, ideal life-purpose, and, in the particular sense, upon specialization of the individual in studied magnetic conduct related to that end. 

SEVENTH LAW: Receptivity. 

The highest magnetism realizes through magnetic laws in proportion as the inner self maintains alert receptivity to the Universal Forces. 

EIGHTH LAW: Demand. 

The silent, persistent demand of the self upon the Universal Magnetism makes it a center toward which the Forces naturally gravitate. 

NINTH LAW: Affirmation.

 Continuous, intense affirmation of actual possessed magnetic power stimulates the success-elements, maintains receptivity, emphasizes demand, harmonizes and intensifies inner etheric vibrations, and induces a positive movement of the universal ether and its forces inward toward the central self. 

TENTH LAW: Psychic energy. 

All personal magnetism involves psychic energy developed and directed by magnetic intention. 

ELEVENTH LAW: Self-control. 

Magnetic energy concentrates through psychic control of its tendencies. 

TWELFTH LAW: Magnetic quality. 

The inner psychic attitude the character of magnetic intention determines the quality and effectiveness of the effort to multiply endowment into the environment, and, therefore, the kind and degree of magnetism attained. 

THIRTEENTH LAW: Self-valuation. 

Other things being equal, magnetism unfolds as gratifying, but unostentatious, self- valuation develops. 

FOURTEENTH LAW: Use of self. 

Under conformity to other magnetic laws, the highest magnetism issues only from the constant best use of self at its best to the best advantage. 

FIFTEENTH LAW: Magnetic heroism. 

Self-pity, complaint, and all kindred states confuse, weaken and waste every variety of magnetic power, while heroic acceptance of conditions for their betterment, and courageous assertion of self as master, conserve, and enormously develop the noblest magnetism in proportion to the sway of the magnetic intention. 

SIXTEENTH LAW: Action and reaction. 

Highest magnetism involves not only studied cultivation but, as well, the magnetic utilization of stimulating reactions induced by intelligent employment. 

SEVENTEENTH LAW: Recovery. 

Whoever, on the occasion of any psychic (magnetic) failure or defeat, dedicates the whole of aroused desperation to the recovery of ground, infallibly induces a stress in the etheric life around him which ultimately draws to his aid, with the onsweep of worlds, the Universal Forces. 

EIGHTEENTH LAW: Reproduction. 

"Everything is transmitted, everything is transformed, everything is reproduced" (Ochorowicz); in physical and psychic health alone, therefore, are the Universal Forces transmitted through perfect etheric vibrations, transformed through effective etheric conduction, and reproduced in magnetism by adequate and harmonious psychic control of etheric capabilities. 

NINETEENTH LAW: Superiority of culture. 

The crude values of natural magnetism, the automatic functions of unconscious magnetism, demonstrate at their best solely as they climax in full conscious magnetic culture.

How to Improve the Quality of your Personal Life+Learning Tools to Improve your Personal Life

Is your personal life in an uproar, how is your self-esteem? Everyone always has room for improvement; yet, some of us need more than others do.

There are ways to improve yourself once you ask yourself “what do I need to do to improve.” Maybe sitting down and writing a list of things that you don’t like about yourself could help. 

Make sure you prioritize them

making the most important one on top and the less important on the bottom. 

Everyday works on this list checking off each one as you feel it is getting better. Remember don’t stop improving them just because you’ve put a check beside it.

 It takes time to make changes but you can do it.

Are you working full or part-time, if not volunteer if need be? Get busy and don’t just lie around the house doing nothing. Keeping busy and helping others always helps. 

By helping others, you learn that someone else in the world has it worse than you do. 

 A job always helps especially if you are stressed out about paying a bill and there is no money to pay. Every dollar you make is one dollar more than you had yesterday.

Volunteer to work at the library a couple of hours a day or maybe just one day a week.  

The nearest hospital is probably in need of a volunteer if nothing just to talk to the ones that are alone and no one comes to see them. 

Helping others always makes you feel better especially if you can see they enjoyed or benefited from it.

Take a little time out of each day for yourself. You can’t be any good for other people if you don’t take care of yourself. Draw a bathtub of bubbles and relax, go for a walk alone or maybe go to the library and read, bring a book home to read and relax.

 A little something for yourself each day really helps to relax you and it can make you feel better.

How about doing a little exercising?

 If you’re not already doing it try it and see how it helps relieve stress. 

After a while, you’ll notice how you will look forward to exercising alone or with a friend. If you walk with a friend don’t talk about your problems, keep the pace up and talk about the weather or maybe something you’re going to do for your tomorrow. 

 

Eventually, you’ll notice how much better you feel getting out and taking care of yourself.

Do you watch a lot of TV? 

Sometimes the news can make a person depressed but then again it can be educational and give you something to discuss with friends or family. 

Watch the weather and when you’re walking talk, about what is supposed to happen tomorrow; will it rain or snow. The news makes a good conversation when talking to other people.

Go out and visit someone once a week maybe. 

Get out of the house and be with a friend other than cleaning the house when you’re at home. If you don’t have, many friends go make some new ones.

 Meeting friends is something you can do when you’re volunteering your time; when at the library talk to the librarian when you are checking out that book. 

 New friends can be anywhere if you’re willing to talk. Don’t be afraid if you don’t make a new one every time you talk to someone; just is, yourself and someone else will be there to be the friend you need or want in your life.

Remember life is short, if you need a little improvement here and there, that’s ok.  No one is perfect and you can only change the quality of life you have.

Learning Tools to Improve your Personal Life 

Inquisitive souls often find new tools that help them improve their personal life. The old saying, “Curiosity can kill the cat,” is something you want to re-evaluate. 

Sure, if you become curious about something that would obviously cause you harm, then the cat just might die. Curiosity is a gift. We can use this gift to our advantage if we choose, or we can make serious judgments that cause problems. 

As you learn to use your inquisitive tools in your best interest, you will start to focus your attention on the good things in life. 

Most people walk around looking only at the shallow light of our creation, products, and so on. instead of using a shallow mind, open your mind up to new horizons. An open mind however is not doing what is bad, rather opening your mind up to doing what is right.

 Too many times, I hear people say they have open minds, but often the minds are open to sexual deviations and nothing more or less. This is not a way to improve your life. 

Rather, you need to clean your mind of unhealthy actions, behaviors, images, etc, and start developing positive reflections. 

Once you start to focus your attention you can move to change. You have to be willing to make changes to make it happen. 

Most people fear the unknown. To improve your life, however, you must not allow the unknown to scare you. 

The unknown just might be something that works in your favor. In fact, if you want to improve your life, you will start to welcome the unknown to your palace. 

In our minds, we visualize who we think we may be. Most of us fear discovering something new about ourselves.

 Do not fear what you may discover. You may discover a wonderful person waiting to get out and make the changes that most people fear.

Changes are good. do not fear change, since change is a part of life and it is what takes you to new heights in life. 

When you see something new about you (GOOD OR BAD) take it and use it. If you see something bad, evaluate it carefully to make sure it is bad. If you conclude that this feature about you is bad, figure out ways to change it. You have the power and control inside you to make those changes. 

What can you do to make those changes? 

What actions can you take to make your life better? 

Once you discover new details about your move to organize your thoughts, visions, etc, and then sort them out. 

Take time to evaluate the details. 

Details have hidden messages you may have overlooked that will carry you to a new life. Do not fear. Fear is the worst problem we face in the world since fear is one of the ultimate controllers of humankind. 

When you discover details take the volume of information you gain and sort through it. Kick out the bad and bring in the new. 

• Discover new ideas. 
• Discover new relationships. 
• Discover the new you. 

Play with the details and information you gain and see what you come up with, followed by organizing your new information. Put the pieces of your life together to make a new you. 

When you check the list of information and details, make sure you visualize the whole pie.

 Take a view at weight, categories, order, colors, and size, and so forth, so that you get the most of your new findings. 

Once you are finished, build your confidence so that you can take action and carry forward without ceasing.

IMPORTANCE OF GOOD CLOTHING+ Improve your Personal Life in Awareness

 First impressions are apt to be permanent; it is therefore of importance that they should be favorable. 

The dress of an individual is that circumstance from which you first form your opinion of him. It is even more prominent than manner, It is indeed the only thing which is remarked in a casual encounter, or during the first interview. It, therefore, should be the first care.

What style is to our thoughts, the dress is to our persons. 

It may supply the place of more solid qualities, and without it the most solid are of little avail. 

Numbers have owed their elevation to their attention to the toilet. Place, fortune, marriage have all been lost by neglecting it.

Your dress should always be consistent with your age and your natural exterior. 

That which looks out, on one man, will be agreeable on another. 

As success in this respect depends almost entirely upon particular circumstances and personal peculiarities, it is impossible to give general directions of much importance. 

We can only point out the field for study and research; it belongs to each one’s own genius and industry to deduce the results. 

However ugly you may be, rest assured that there is some style of habiliment which will make you passable.

If, for example, you have a stain upon your cheek which rivals in brilliancy the best Chateau-Margot; or, are afflicted with a nose whose luster dims the ruby, you may employ such hues of dress, that the eye, instead of being shocked by the strangeness of the defect, will be charmed by the graceful harmony of the colors. 

Everyone cannot indeed be an Adonis, but it is his own fault if he is an Esop.

Almost every defect of the face may be concealed by judicious use and arrangement of hair. 

Take care, however, that your hair is not of one color and your whiskers of another; and let your wig be large enough to cover the whole of your red or white hair. 

It is evident, therefore, that though a man may be ugly, there is no necessity for his being shocking.

Improve your personal life with self-awareness

To improve your self-awareness you first need to concentrate on your past and emotions. 

 How did you get where you are now and how can you get to where you want to be in life? Pulling up the resources in your mind will help you become acquainted with yourself. 

A person needs to know and trust him or herself before they can trust others.

 Don’t depend on the judgment of others, rather use your own judgment and it will make you feel like a new person. You should always stop and think so that you learn how to trust you and know who you are. With the fast pace world we live in now you probably put many things aside and because you don’t have time. Take time for yourself and think about it before you do.

When looking back on your life look for the things that made you the way you are today.  Try working on a positive attitude in order to become completely yourself and get that self-awareness back.

Start doing things that make you happy and successful. 

Bring happiness to yourself and others, it will make you feel good and bring joy to your life. When you are happy you’ll have less stress as well.

Meditation takes a lot of practice so be patient when using yoga practices and does not expect results to happen overnight.

Try to rediscover yourself by writing a journal. Write about how you feel, what you want in life; record it all, write the results as you progress. 

This will help you decide what is important and what isn’t.  

Knowing what is important and what isn’t will bring out the value in you. 

Knowing your values in life are the key to self-awareness and your personal growth and happiness will bet better as each day goes by.

Set some goals and deadlines on when you want to have them accomplished. Take action right away allowing you to learn and be flexible. 

With an open mind study and learn from other people. Finding someone to support you in your goals and to listen when you need to talk about where you want to go will help make them easier.

You will have to change the way you have done in the past; you learn by mistakes and you don’t want them to happen again. You want new results and you can do that if you do the mistakes over again.  

You will grow as a person once you build your self-awareness. 

You will accept yourself and others you’ll become more self-reliant and motivated. 

When your self-awareness grows you, will benefit more as a person and become more successful in whatever you want to do in your life.

Stay in control of your life; don’t let your life take over and control you. By understanding yourself and mind, you learn how to find yourself, know what has gone wrong, and fix it.

 Keeping your life in balance is very important to keep your self-awareness up where it needs to be in order to be happy and then you can add value to your life making you feel better.

Happy people are generous and giving.

 Give as much of yourself as you can and then push to give more.

 The more you give the better it will make you feel and you’ll be able to forget the rough and hard times. Since Christmas is here try, choosing a special gift, wrap it for a person who has nothing.

Genuine Happiness Comes from Within

 Life isn’t the sweetest candy. Sometimes, when I feel like the world is just too heavy, I look around and find people who continued to live fascinating and wonderful lives. And then thoughts come popping into my mind like bubbles from nowhere 

– “How did their life become so adorably sweet? 

How come they still can manage to laugh and play around despite a busy stressful life?”  Then I pause and observed for awhile… I figured out that maybe, they start to work in a place called ‘self’.

So, how does one become genuinely happy? 

Step 1 is to love yourself. 

My theology professor once said that “loving means accepting.”  To love oneself means to accept that you are not a perfect being, but behind the imperfections must lie a great ounce of courage to be able to discover ways on how to improve your repertoire to recover from our mistakes. 

Genuine happiness also pertains to contentment.

 When you are contented with the job you have, the way you look, with your family, your friends, the place you live in, your car, and all the things you now have – truly, you know the answer to the question “how to be genuinely happy.”

When we discover a small start somewhere from within, that small start will eventually lead to something else and do something else. 

But if you keep questioning life lit it has never done you any good, you will never be able to find genuine happiness.

I believe that life is about finding out about right and wrong, trying and failing, winning, and losing. 

These are things that happen as often as you inhale and exhale. Failure, in a person’s life, has become as abundant and necessary as air. But this should not hinder us from becoming happy.

How to be genuinely happy in spite of all these? 

I tell you… every time you exert effort to improve the quality of life and your being, whether it is cleaning up your room, helping a friend, taking care of your sick dog, fail on board exams, and trying again, life gives you equivalent points for that. 

Imagine life as a big scoreboard like those which are used in the NFL's. 

Every time you take a step forward, you make scoring points. Wouldn’t it be nice to look at that board at the end of each game and think to yourself 

“Whew! I got a point today. I’m glad I gave it a shot.”, instead of looking at it all blank and murmur “Geez, I didn’t even hit a score today.

 I wish I had the guts to try out. We could have won!” and then walk away.

Genuine happiness isn’t about driving the hottest Formula 1 car, nor getting the employee of the year award, earning the highest 13th-month pay, or beating the sales quota. Sometimes, the most sought after prizes in life don’t always go to the fastest, the strongest, the bravest, or not even the best. 

So, how do you become genuinely happy? 

 Everyone has his own definition of ‘happiness’. Happiness for a writer may mean launching as much best selling books as possible. Happiness for a basketball rookie may mean getting the rookie of the year award. Happiness for a beggar may mean a lot of money. 

Happiness for a businessman may mean success. 

So, really now, how do we become genuinely happy? Simple. You don’t have to have the best things in this world.

 It is about doing and making the best out of every single thing. When you find yourself smiling at your own mistake and telling your self 

“Oh, I’ll do better next time”, you carry with you a flame of strong will power to persevere that may spread out like a brush fire.

 You possess a willingness to stand up again and try – that will make you a genuinely happy person. 

When you learn to accept yourself and your own faults. You pass step 1 in the project “how to become genuinely happy”.

For as long as you know how to accept others, you will also be accepted. For as long as you love and know how to love, you will receive love ten folds back.

Again, throw me that same question “how to become genuinely happy?”. I’ll refer you to a friend of mine who strongly quoted:

 “Most of us know that laughter is the best medicine to life’s aches and pain. But most of us don’t know that the best kind of laughter is laughter over self. Coz then you don’t just become happy… you become free.”
