How to Feel Better About Yourself And Your Life
We often tend to question the “good” and “bad” things that happen in our lives. We wonder “What did I do to deserve this?” We’ve heard it all several times before; “What goes around comes around.” “What you do to others comes back to you.” How often do we take the time to live our lives consciously with awareness, though? How to Feel Better About Yourself And Your Life It’s not always easy to stop and reflect on our actions several times a day most especially in today’s fast-paced world. However, if you look around you, and you pay attention, you’ll realize that the universe gives you several opportunities to build up good karma every single day. I’d like to speak about karma as an energy exchange that everyone can relate to rather than a concept that is affiliated with a particular religion. Each thought, word, and action releases energy out into the universe. Ideally, you want to be releasing positive charges as often as you can for good to come to you as far as the karmic principle is concerned. Think about the times you didn’t slow down when you could have let a pedestrian pass or the times you could have offered your seat on the subway to someone who could have gained more comfort from it. When you’re out on the streets, have you ever noticed the man who looked like he could use your help with directions if you gave him a minute or two? Do you hold the door for an elderly person when you see him or her exiting an establishment? When the waiter didn’t get your order perfectly, or the cashier is taking a little too long, are you kind while expressing your concerns? Would you be willing to share your knowledge on a particular topic so that your subordinate or peers can make a clearer and more informed decision? Think about the times that you could have been more understanding and let a situation go because you realize that you have it so much better than the other person. On a deeper level, when you see a bug or an insect that bothers you, do you simply move it out of your way instead of killing it because you respect the life form in it? There is one main theme that is common in all the scenarios stated above. We would have been making the other person’s life a little bit easier for them. When you think of the times in your life when you have been in pain and about how good it would feel if someone, anyone, helped alleviate your pain or your struggles at that very moment, you would not hesitate to be of assistance to anyone. The energy that will radiate from each of their hearts will bless you, guide you, and protect you each day of your life. Of course, we must not act with the expectation of something in return but with the purest of intentions. And so you see how there can be many ways to operate from a place of love on a daily basis if we choose to. As you continue to do so, you will feel your own personal energy change. You will feel better about yourself and about life in general. You will see paths created for you where there were none. You will start to believe that everything is rigged in your favor. Above all, you will not fear because you will be confident in your karma.
How To Trust and Listen to The Universe
As I reflect back on what my life has been so far, there were many times where I’d say to myself “I should have done this instead or that or gone here or studied this or worked there.” I’m sure that many of you reading this right now are all too familiar with this situation. When things don’t go our way, it is easy to be angry with ourselves, with the world, or with life itself.How To Trust and Listen to The UniverseI wish that someone would have told me how all this works but perhaps discovering everything for myself is a part of what makes my journey even more beautiful. I realized that I made important life decisions out of fear, thinking that that was the most logical route to follow. It really didn’t take too long for the imbalances in my energy to get to my soul.If there is simply one thing that you are to take from this article, let it be this: LISTEN TO YOUR FEELINGS, LISTEN TO YOUR SOUL. It knows what is best for you and it will always guide you if you learn to listen to it. Every time you make a decision out of fear or fail to act upon something because you are too scared to fail, you are depriving yourself of what could have been. You can start today with nothing, no one, and no way and then watch a path emerge before you. Learn to take chances in life because the universe has and will always have your back.When something doesn’t go as planned, be still, observe, and ask yourself what you could do at this very moment that is within your power to change your situation. Start building up with the blocks that you have. Years later, as you look back, it will all make sense to you. You’ll see why you never got into that school or why you didn’t land your dream job. You’ll be grateful that he didn’t love you back or that she found someone else. You won’t be upset about missing your flight or your boss letting you go.As someone who places great importance on planning and stability, it wasn’t always easy for me to just let things flow. I would always look for a certain kind of outcome and would be a little shaken if things didn’t go as I expected. I’ve come to realize that there is so much beauty in not knowing. It makes waking up every morning so exciting as I don’t know what I’ll find or who I’ll meet. Putting my trust in the greater power of the universe has truly made my life so much more interesting.If you’re still a student, chances are you’re acquainted with a structured path depending on your major or curriculum. Some of you are very lucky to have had wise mentors in life. For others, you may think of the real world in a certain way only to find that you were so wrong. Stumble. Stumble slowly. Most importantly, learn as you stumble. What you’ll gain this way will be invaluable and will remain with you for the course of your life. Don’t be afraid of not knowing what to do. Don’t be afraid of changing your path. As you grow with each passing year, you will see differences in your personality. These differences will lead you to places you never knew existed.
