Antitoxin To Self- Criticism!

How do you feel when you look in the mirror? Do you criticize how you look? 

The way you think has the power to become a self-fulfilling prophecy. 
If you have a harsh inner critic, you're not alone: Self-doubt, catastrophic predictions, and harsh words are common. But you don't have to be a victim of your own verbal abuse. Occasional self-doubt is generally considered to be a normal part of life, but chronic or excessive self-criticism may contribute to mental health concerns, such as depressionsocial anxietybody image issues, or feelings of worthlessness. A tendency to blame oneself when things go wrong may lead to feelings of failure, lowness, or a depressed mood.

You know what? The greatest cure, The greatest love of all is- Self Love! To love yourself is to be in awe of the miracle of your existence. It is to accept yourself as you are - the "light" parts and the "dark", the "good" and the "bad" - while knowing that the real you is above the perceived dualities of the physical realm. It is to be willing to receive as much as you are willing to give and do both equally. It is about knowing your values and your boundaries and honoring them. It is about teaching others how to treat you by showing them how you treat yourself. It is about being kind to yourself.

Today I Choose Joy!!

"If you don't know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else" I think you’ll agree with me when I say: The power of positive thinking is remarkable. In fact, the idea that your mind can change your world almost seems too good to be true. I can assure you, however, that I have experienced AND witnessed the good that focusing on the positive can bring. But before I get into that, let me ask you a question. Can you guess what the most successful and happy people think about all day long? The answer is quite simple… Healthy, happy people think about what they want, and how to get it, most of the time. In this way developing a positive attitude can truly change your entire life. Now, How Do You Train Your Mind To Think Positive? Positive affirmations are positive phrases that can be repeated over and over to teach you how to get rid of negative thoughts and encourage a positive attitude. I also find motivation from  inspirational quotes   a...

Hold yourself back, or heal yourself back together. You decide!!

“ What if no one is coming to discover your hidden talents, to acknowledge your untapped potential, to heal you, to save you from yourself? What if the savior was always supposed to be you? What if that’s why it hasn’t worked out with anyone else?” Waiting for someone to come and save you is a mistake because no one will know how to do it better than yourself.  Your best savior is you because you can also be your own hero. It’s enough to simply pay attention and take care of yourself when you need it most.  Otherwise, unease or discomfort might emerge someday and stay for good. Stop giving away the main role to those inner voices that don’t let you move forward and anchor you in the comfort zone. Who are your enemies?  Everything and everyone who traps you with unease and discomfort and anything or anyone that belittles you.   Certainly, we need inspiration to show us examples of clear purpose. But I wonder what happens in a world where we each figure out w...

Laugh More, Especially at Yourself

Life gets busy, our schedules fill up, we get into relationships, and work can feel task oriented and routine-driven at times. Being human can feel more like being a ROBOT . But having this work-driven, serious attitude often results in negative and performance oriented thinking. Becoming positive means taking life less seriously and letting yourself off the hook. This is the only life that you get to live, why not lighten up your mood? Laughter helps us become positive by lightening our mood and reminding us not to take life so seriously. Are you sensitive to light sarcasm? Do you have trouble laughing at jokes? Usually, people who are stressed out and overly serious get most offended by sarcasm because their life is all work and no play. If we can learn to laugh at ourselves and our mistakes, life will become more of an experiment in finding out what makes us happy. And finding happiness means finding positivity.
