Be Content With Yourself

Being happy is something everyone wants in their life. But not everyone could be happy all the time and is this really a problem? No, because we are all humans we have feelings that wouldn't allow us to be happy all the time, which is perfectly normal of course.

One thing that could make us happy in life is by being content with ourselves. When you're content with yourself, you will need no specific reasons to become happy. And thus replicate your mental health positively. Because being happy or having a good mental health is the greatest priority our life which many people fail to recognize.

Something that I have read everywhere and actually experienced in my life is that, you cannot always keep a happy positive mind every time. There would be situations or points in life when you would just break down or become completely down. And you 'd think to yourself, "Why? why me?"

But if you overcome it and come back to that happy state again, then you'd find yourself getting a message or a lesson that would help you in life later. And then you'd think, this was all a part of learning in life. So basically, "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" as someone wise has quoted.

Being happy with our life and with our self is the greatest solution for us to attain that sound and happy life. Most importantly be happy with yourself. Make each day a great adventure for you and stop thinking that some things or some people would only make your life happy.

No that's not how it should be. People are there with us for a reason and yes, feel blessed to have them but stop attaching your happiness to them. Stop expecting so much from them so that you'd hurt yourself in the end when they don't meet your expectations.

And stop thinking of the material things that you don't have in your life so excessively. Nothing could actually make you happy if you are that type of a person who's attached to material possessions because even if you have gained them for yourself, you wouldn't be satisfied because by that moment you would have already got another material on your wish list.

Its perfectly human to wish and expect for things but when you are too much attached, that won't be a good idea. I have heard people saying or complaining of the things they want or achieve and affirming that they won't be happy until they get it.

And then there are some others who expects favors or deeds from others and believe that without "such and such" people in their life, they wouldn't be happy. I have been there too but I have realized and is still realizing the fact that this is a really wrong mentality.

So what happens to people like that is that when they fail to achieve something or get the thing that they want, they would loose their mind and becomes dissatisfied. And the people who have attached their happiness to other people? They would get hurt like anything when their loved ones wouldn't live or do according to what they have expected them to be and there goes their happiness too.

If you could focus on yourself more , this could be changed and finally you'll be the creator of your joy in life. Some thing that you could do are given below:


#1 Practice non detachment: Detach yourself from people materials and certain expectations. This would itself relieve that tension hanging down your shoulders. Materials are just materials and people are human beings with human abilities. Stop expecting healing energy or too much comfort from them.

#2 Improve yourself: 

Always try to improve your life by doing things. Like go for a walk..read books (I would advice you to read self help books because they could actually enlighten you), exercise, learn something, develop a skill etc. You have to first look into your life and find out what you could be improved and work on it. This will keep you busy too, thus improving the mind and removing clogging thoughts.

#3 Smile: 

Who needs pills when just smiling could cure your woes? Always believe that even a smile could make you happy. All you have to do is smile and think about all the happy things that you have created in your life( Only think about your goodness, your achievements and good deeds) and be proud and happy for the person you have grown into.

#4 Stop expecting so much:

I know this is a really difficult thing because we all do this every time and get our hearts broken.Stop expecting so much from others and from life. You can only make yourself happy.As I have said above, no human can always make you happy and no material things or possession could make you happy. In fact we'd develop worrying habits and may even go into depression if our expectation are too high.

#5 Make this your daily thought:

"Only I can make my life happy. 

And I have attracted people, luck and materials into life because I have allowed it to and they are all there to supplement my happiness and they are not the reason for my entire well being" 

#6 Take care of yourself: 

Take care yourself and I have already written a post on self love and its importance and that would include taking care of ourselves. Do things that would help you glow, and eat healthy to glow inside out. Don't take situations too personally and punish yourself by not taking care of yourself. Because bad vibes only attracts bad vibes.


#7 Do things that you love: 

 Like drawing,dancing, travelling, listening to music or gardening. Maybe try new things and add flavor to your life. Even you could change your life by leaving those monotonous habits behind and experimenting things.


#8 Radiate love and happiness: 

After doing all those things above and finally you are content your life, you'd finally find yourself light and relieved. And as you would feel good, you would attract more happiness in your life and the things that worried you will fade away. You will find them either unimportant or all fixed by this time and then you could could say,"I am the creator of my happiness". This is not even a tip and it's something that would come along.

We are all on this path of healing and understanding life and its never too late to change our life. its okay to fall sometimes but remember to get up and build  a stronger you with every fall. Make the most out of your life with whatever you are offered and be content with yourself. Everything else would just fall in place eventually.

Stay Happy Ya'll!! Much love to everyone!!

The Power Of Gratitude That Could Turn Your Life

"The Struggle ends when gratitude begins"

 I was sitting in my room and relaxing when I noticed this quote pinned on to my wall and decided that the next post would be about gratitude. It has been on my wall for a long time and would always reminds me to be grateful for all the blessings in life rather than complain about the things that went wrong. Being grateful has a really great effect than most of us would think of it .

A few years back, I would read a quote about gratitude or some verse from a religious book and would think " Oh well, I will be grateful when I have it" and would forget about it as the time rolls. But later I realized that what I have shrugged off was something that could bring a lot of joy to us.


Being grateful is something that needs practice. If you could think about your life you would be able to think of at least a hundred things that makes your life better than someone else on this planet. And then there would be ten or fifteen things that doesn't work out for you. What we usually do is that we would focus on the ten or fifteen complaints most of the time and forget the good things we have.


And that my friend, is the biggest mistake we could make. You see, when we pray and when we feel grateful, there's this magic that would happen in our lives, we would start getting the same luck or blessings again and again.


Have you ever had a friend or a relative who gets it all in life and who seems to be very lucky?
they seem to understand the secret of living great life and we would always wonder how they got it all together.


Try talking to them, they would be talking about blessings rather than complaints. They would always be happy and you would see them upset or worried once in a blue moon. These are the winners!! They definitely know how to live.


On the other side there would be someone ( it could be you, your friend or anyone) who always complains and seems to be getting all the bad lucks in their life day after day. They would be miserable and always upset about something or the other in life.


So the real answer is this. This applies to everyone of us regardless of our race or religion. You can find the the power of being grateful in all the religion..its all the same message.


 Be grateful! Just be grateful for everything you have and be grateful for everything you will get. Yes you heard it right, be grateful for the unknown blessings that's coming your way. You have to think it in this way, You are the creator of this life.. and God is up there granting your wishes, You have to look up at God and say thank you along with something that you want in life.


Yes, you have to visualize something that you want in life and just pray in such a way that its already happened. You have to do it until it happens.The more you visualize it and feel it in your heart, the more real it would be.

Maybe you want new dress or some money..what you could do is to think about you getting instead of complaining that you can't get it. Just visualize and feel it in your mind that you are already having it in your hand and be grateful for having it. You would eventually find a way to get it and you will receive it.


If you have enough to live, be grateful, if you have people who supports and loves you, be grateful, if you have a special person in your life, be grateful, if you get a help, be grateful, if you have enough food and is safe, be grateful and you will receive more of it.


For all those people who actually do this could relate to this, I am pretty sure. You think of something that you want to receive everyday and feel it as it have happened and be grateful that it happened. And one day its there in your life and you will realize that you have created it in your life through your prayers and gratitude.


Pray as if it has already happened, act like it has already happened, and smile at the fact that its on your way and then its there. You focus on it, you thought about it, felt grateful at heart and made it true. Stop focusing on the negative situations because it will give you more and more negative situations.


What you focus on will happen in life. Just focus on the good and no matter what don't complain..at least don't complain it to a point that you speak only to complain. Distract yourself when you feel like complaining and miserable and start to feel grateful. You could already feel the relief.


Now there are things that you should keep in mind when practicing gratitude and Its as below:

#1.What you focus on when you visualize and feel it, is what you will get in life. If you focus on good, it will happen, if you focus on the bad, it will happen.

#2. Don't pray and be grateful just to achieve something. Pray and be grateful at heart, feel it and be joyful about it. Feeling good is a sign that its working out.

#3.Never expect everything to work out very easily.

#4.Be grateful even for the simple pleasure in life, and this itself would make you a happy soul.

#5.Prayer and gratitude could change your life around if you could do it in the proper way. When you pray and visualize eliminate desperation, guilt, regret and all other things with happiness, gratitude, smile and peace.

#6. If you do all this and is still miserable, its only because you haven't really eliminated the negative thoughts about this whole process. Just believe that it will happen and wait for your blessings while you keep on being grateful.

So keep all those negative thoughts aside and practice gratitude and you'll see how it would magically turn your life around. Just believe, ask, pray, feel grateful and receive it!!

Much love to everyone!!
