5 Steps How To Raise Your Energy When You Feel Stressed

Stress is part of life but learning how to manage it is your opportunity to master it.

Being stressed serves nobody, neither you nor the situation, and it keeps your energy low. But how to raise your energy when you feel stressed? There is a way.

In this article we will show you a 5 step process that you can do anywhere, and it will help you immediately feel more relaxed and raise your energy in less than 10 minutes.

The thing is that when you are stressed you can’t think outside of the stressing reality. Your mind is obsessed over what’s stressing you and it cannot think of anything else.

This keeps your energy low and when your energy is low you cannot think of solutions or opportunities. You need to be aware and make conscious effort to raise your energy.

When your energy is high the things that stress you have weaker grip over your mind and you have more energy for action. Here is how to raise your energy when stressed.

5 Steps How To Raise Your Energy When Stressed:

steps-how-to-raise-your-energy-when-stressed

1. Do a quick relaxing technique.

First, pause whatever you do. You need to relax your overactive mind. Do a quick relaxation technique. Tense the muscles in your body, hold for 5 seconds, and release. Do this cycle 9 times. You will immediately feel yourself being more relaxed.

2. Think about what’s stressing you.

Now, with a more relaxed mind, think about what is stressing you. If it’s a big project you need to finish, or a bill you need to pay, or something else, think about it. Just like tensing your muscles, tense the thought about what is stressing you.

3. Find the underlying reason for being stressed.

The mind makes things seem scarier than they are. You need to find the underlying assumption that’s actually stressing you. Why do you think you will not finish, or not pay your bill? What can you do instead? What if you don’t finish the project or pay the bill?

4. Replace the assumption with something positive.

If the negative assumption is you don’t have enough money to pay the bill, the positive one might be what can you stop spending on to save, or what can you sell to pay the bill. Either there is something you can do, or the consequences are not so dire to be stressed.

5. Let your energy expand.

The moment you shift the assumption, the moment you realize it’s not as scary as your mind makes it to be, your energy will start expanding. This is a sign that your energy is raising. Let it expand. You might even start to giggle.

5 Philosophical Questions That Even The Smartest Minds Cannot Answer

The more you know, the more you realize how much you do not know.

There are probably countless scientists, philosophers and thinkers who have pondered about the weirdest things.

And asking deep philosophical questions is interesting as it gives you a perspective of how much we actually don’t know.

There are some easier questions, there are some deep philosophical questions that open endless discussions and debates.

And then, there are philosophical questions that even the smartest minds on this planet were not able to have and give a satisfying answer.

Here are the 5 deep philosophical questions that not even the smartest minds were able to answer. Try to answer them yourself.

5 Most Philosophical Questions:

philosophical-questions-smartest-minds-cannot-answer

1. If there was a beginning than what was before it?

Science tries to discover what was the beginning of The Universe and it has some solid theories. But the question still remains, if there was a beginning, what was before it?

So we might scale things even more and say there are multiple Universes in a field we can call Omniverse. But even here the question still remains the same.

What was the beginning of everything? If there was a beginning than what was before it? Can this question actually be answered? Maybe there is something that we miss.

What if our mind’s cannot comprehend something without a beginning? What if the nature of The Universe is without a beginning, but our minds cannot comprehend this?

So we try to find a beginning but we actually create checkpoints for ourselves, so we can answer a question that is flawed. Maybe there was no beginning.

2. What is real?

One of the greatest things you can realize is that reality is negotiable. It’s completely your construct from the data around you and the meaning you attach to it.

But some people go to an even crazier direction. What if your own consciousness is what creates reality? What if consciousness is what renders the world into existence?

You don’t just shape reality from the data around you but your consciousness creates the data around you. Your consciousness generates the data around you.

This idea is a big pill to swallow, but it makes us question, what is real? Everything that we can claim to be real is filtered through our mind, through a human mind.

If something is real for you and not for others, is it real? If something is real for others and not for you, is it real? If something is real but has no effect on anyone, is it real?

3. How should people live their lives?

When we are kids we see adults and we think they have figured out the right way to live life. But as we grow up we see how lost and confused adults actually were.

Humans are stranded on this planet and we have no idea for what reason. We have no idea what is our purpose. We have no idea what’s the point of everything.

Every single person on this planet has been taught a way of life from someone who has been equally lost and confused. Nobody had any extra knowledge or guide.

Every single person is doing the best they can with what they know. Nobody knows the right way to live. Every person is improvising as they live and every lesson is subjective.

If someone tells you how to live that’s based on their own subjective experience and not on an objective truth. So the best way to live is to consider other advices but follow your self.

4. What is consciousness?

Even reading this question, who is the one that reads this question? Who is the one being aware of the one reading this question? It’s all consciousness, but what actually is it?

Trying to answer what’s the nature of consciousness is probably the hardest question any scientist and philosopher pondered about because they cannot observe the subject.

It’s like a wave asking itself what the nature of water is. The answer to this question can be intuitively glimpsed, but giving an answer to it is probably not even possible.

Let’s just say that like energy, consciousness is a substance filling a field. It is a different level of the same thing, a higher state of energy, a different layer of being.

Being conscious of our own selves is like creating a character in a novel and we becoming aware of this character through this character thinking we are the character we created.

5. Do we have free will?

Many philosophers have pondered about this question. Do we actually have free will? If we do, how do you define what is free will? Can you actually define it?

You might think that you have free will, that you make your own choices, but every single one of your choices has been influenced by some external factor or memory.

Your environment, the things you watched as a child and the experiences you had in your life have all influenced your choices. And they influence the choices you make.

There are infinite amount of possibilities, right? But you cannot comprehend them all. You can know just a few options. And you can choose from these few options.

So how much freedom do you have in choosing? What decides the options you will be aware of at a certain moment? We have free will, but it should be exercised like a muscle.

The One Mental Tool You Should Learn This April To Become A Super Version Of Yourself

One of the most interesting thing about us is the fact that we have a supercomputer at our disposal, and we don’t know how to use it.

We are both, the showmen, the illusionists on stage creating tricks and illusions, and the audience, the people believing in these tricks.

Our mind is the supercomputer. It’s the tool we have to create illusions, to construct our own reality. But we let it run on automatic.

So it generates illusions and it projects these illusions upon the world. Most of these illusions are negative because they are driven by our emotions.

We forget that we can control these illusions. And you paint a negative reality for yourself while you have the power to paint whatever you want.

The One Mental For This Month:

one-mental-tool-learn-this-april

Positive Reframes

Your mind projects meaning, frames upon things to give them a context, a place within your story. But you can control their frames, it’s your mind.

First, decrease the negative frame’s intensity.

Let’s say you go to the supermarket to get some milk. But as you get to the milk aisle the person in front of you already has the last milk.

You might get angry at them, you might think that something is against you. But it’s just your mind projecting meaning to this event.

This person might need this milk for his sick mother, or they might have saved money all month to get this milk.

Maybe this something you think is against you is protecting you from getting an expired milk that might make you sick.

These scenarios can be as equally plausible as the one your mind projects, that something is against you. So use this power.

Instead of creating a reality where you feel bad, create a reality where you are empowered. Create positive reframes about a triggering situation.

Ask yourself when a seemingly upsetting situation shows up, ask ‘how is this positive for me?’ or tell ‘how can this situation be positive?’

Some answers will arise but since your emotions are strong you’ll still be upset, it’ll feel like you are forcing yourself to create positive from negative.

Just remember that what you project on the scenario is the same kind of illusion as these things.

You have no idea what it really goes on behind the curtain. Everything you think is a theory. This awareness will decrease the negative frame intensity.

Now you can reshape a positive frame.

When the negative frame’s intensity is decreased you can reshape it into a scenario with a more positive meaning.

You can do this because you are aware that what you project upon a neutral scenario is a mental illusion.

Truth be told, you have no idea about every single variable in play. So the positive frame you consciously try to project can be equally plausible.

Just think about how this event can be helping you, how it can push you toward becoming a better self, how the other people might be more in need.

The moment you try to create a positive reframe it will be hard. At first it might seem like you cannot think of anything. But keep doing it.

Sooner or later you will think of an equally plausible frame that can apply to this scenario that creates a positive and empowering for you.

Use this tool for more than just triggering events.

You can use positive reframes for proactive reasons not just reframing negative events. You can use it like a tool for reshaping your reality.

There are three main ways you can use it. The first one, as we said, is reframing negative scenarios that happened into positive.

The second way you can use it is to make yourself inspired and excited for things that you need to do but you think they will be hard work.

Writing those 50 emails can be fun, cleaning can be fun, going for an exercise can be fun, cooking can be fun.

Just reframe the negativity you project upon these things. If the sole thought of answering 50 emails brings negative emotions question it.

How do you know it’s going to be hard? Are there harder things you can do? How can you make answering 50 emails joyful and fun?

What if when you clean you put on your favorite playlist? What if you find something interesting you forgot you even have?

What if you challenge yourself as if you are playing a game when you go to exercise? What if you do a new and more fun type of exercise?

How can you make your cooking be fun? Can you learn a new cooking skill? Can you post a fun video on social media? Maybe you can experiment?

Simply by asking yourself these questions these tasks that you need to do seem lighter, more fun. Think about this. It was all an illusion.

And the third way you can use this tool is to reframe negative scenarios that you think might happen.

If your mind starts to think of ways how something might go bad, stop for a moment. Become aware. And think of how can these things go right.

Monthly Astrology And Energy Update: 3 Things April 2019 Is Bringing For Each Person

The last month was really high on energy intensity. For some it might have been kind of overwhelming. Well this month is all about EXPANSION.

This means that it will be uncomfortable, it will be high on energy, it will push us forward, it will simply make us move out of our comfort zone.

Just like a muscle, when you expand and grow it is uncomfortable, but it’s with an intent to be a better version of yourself.

As you move out of your comfort zone your past traumas might resurface for you to see what’s holding you back, what you need to release.

However, creative energy will also be unleashed and it will move you forward as it is the theme of this month. So create when you are inspired.

3 Things April 2019 Is Bringing For Each Person:

monthly-astrology-and-energy-update-april-2019

The first week of April is a wonderful, positive time of new beginnings and opportunity. In fact, there is so much abundance on offer all through the month of April and the best time to take advantage of it is around the Aries New Moon.

The Aries New Moon falls on the 5th and is one of the most powerful for setting intentions, manifesting, and tapping into abundance. This is a great time to think what energy you want to bring into your life and what you wish to manifest throughout this year.

In April, we also have a few of the outer planets turning retrograde. We don’t notice these retrograde planets as much as they tend to move slowly. They also only work on a subconscious level, so unless we are really tuned in, we tend to not notice the effects.

The first of these retrogrades happen on April 10th with Jupiter turning retrograde, a few weeks later on the 24th, Pluto follows, and Saturn joins in too on the 29th. We may feel called to peel back the layers and really question how we have been choosing to live.

These retrograding planets will also cause the energy of The Cosmos to slow, and we may feel the need to revisit certain things or find that unresolved issues come back up to the surface in order to be cleared for good.

On April 19th we have another Full Moon in the sign of Libra. This Full Moon will work in tandem with the Libra Full Moon of March, so think back to this time to see what you are being called to let go of or resolve.

There may be some heated tension surrounding this Full Moon, so be sure to think before speaking and look before leaping, especially when it comes to your relationships. Try to respond instead of reacting.

You may also feel the need to change your own attitudes towards your relationships and reconsider how you are choosing to treat others or how you are allowing others to treat you. Setting boundaries is an important thing.

Just a day after the Full Moon on the 20th, we enter into Taurus Season. This will definitely bring a shift from the fiery energy of Aries Season, and will help us to get grounded. It’s a great time to plan relaxation activities.

Use this slower, earthy Taurus energy to take some time to relax and recharge. Perhaps take a short trip somewhere or make it a point to develop a new routine that allocates time for doing more of the things that you love.

The last significant date for April falls on the 22nd with the meeting of the Sun and Uranus. As Uranus and the Sun align for the day, the Sun will be able to download wisdom and insights, and shower all of us with what it has learned.

Overall, April is a fiery month with opportunities to manifest, mend, and become more mindful of where we are heading and who we are choosing to surround ourselves with. It’s a month for expansion and it brings 3 things for each person.

1. The first thing this month brings is Unexpected Novelty. This means that it will give you unexpected events to help you get out of the routines that keep you stuck. Use this to rediscover who you truly are and what your true potential is.

2. The second thing this month brings is Sticking Points. This means that as you go out of your comfort zone the sticking points that keep you stuck, things that are keeping you from expanding from the past, they will be highlighted. Use this to release them.

3. The third thing this month brings is Creative Energy. This means that you will rediscover that creative energy within you. Use this to unleash your creative potential that was stuck within your comfort zone to create what you are inspired.

10 Signs You Are A NPC, A (Non Player Character) In Real Life

“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.” — Oscar Wilde

A NPC, or ‘Non Player Character’ is a character that is not controlled by a player. It’s someone who exists but is not really alive.

Are you a NPC? Are you a computer generated character driven by the code of the simulation, or are you a conscious player in your life?

Most people in the world are so called NPCs. They are characters existing but they have no conscious control over their lives.

And this is not science fiction, it’s a psychological observation. Everyone is real, of course, but most people do not have a conscious control of their life.

Even you might be a NPC. Here are 10 signs that a ‘Non Player Character’ will show. See if you can identify yourself with any of them.

10 Signs You Are A NPC In Real Life:

signs-you-are-a-npc

1. Every single day seems the same.

You wake up, you check your phone, then you wash yourself, eat, go to work. After couple of hours of soul sucking you get back home, turn on the TV, eat something, maybe you sit on your computer and watch videos. And this is what most of your days are like.

2. Most of your conversations are about the weather, gossip or complaining.

There is always a biased response when you meet someone, ‘hey, what’s up?’, or ‘how are you doing?’. The same reply ‘not much.’ or ‘great, how about you?’. Conversations range from what the weather is like to who did something, politics and complaining.

3. You hate your job.

Every time the weekend comes you feel excited. You cannot wait for Friday. You wait the whole week for Friday. And the weekend comes, but it moves so quickly before you even realize it was here. Then, you dread Monday. You can’t stand another week at your job.

4. You cannot go out and have fun by yourself.

Going out means you need to find couple of people that are willing to go out with you. Going out by yourself is not even comprehendible to you, and not yet having fun. The sole thought of going out by yourself is weird to you, it is uncomfortable and even scary.

5. You take the same path every day.

No matter if it’s commuting to work or going to the grocery store, you take the same path. It’s always the same path, the same commute, the same mindless walk. You can’t even remember when you started taking that path every single day.

6. More than 90% of your thoughts the same thoughts you think every day.

The moment you wake up you start thinking the same old thoughts you thought of the day before, and the day before, and the day before. I need to do this, I want to do this, I hate her, I like this, I love him, How dare they, I am bored, I am hungry. The same loop.

7. You don’t know your purpose.

You see people on videos and social media chasing goals, grinding, following their purpose and you feel inspired. However, you have no clue what your purpose is. You don’t know why you are here. You feel as if you are missing out on something.

8. You are reactive to others.

Most of your actions are out of reaction to something. You get angry, or sad, or excited, or happy, and your actions are based on these emotions. You get triggered and you act, there is no space between the stimuli and your action.

9. All of the choices you make are mainstream.

Most of the movies you love are mainstream, most of the songs you like are mainstream, the books you read, the beliefs you have, your opinions, it’s all mainstream. Your preferences and personality traits fit in the group of people you identify yourself as.

10. You feel powerless to have a free will.

Most if not all of your choices are not even yours. You think they are, but they are really desires of the past, manipulation by your ego, emotional reactions, generated by the flow of your environment, other’s advices. You haven’t had a choice that is completely by you.

If you find yourself in more than 3 of these signs than you live your life as a NPC. You exist but you do not feel alive. You are a consumer, you do not create anything. If you want to take the controller back in your hands than contact us here and we will help you!

3 Biggest Ways Positive Energy Makes Your World A Better Place

If we all constitute the energy of the world than raising your level of energy raises a small amount of the energy of the whole world.

You have probably heard about positive and negative energy. But do you know how exactly positive energy affects the world around you?

In this article we will share the 3 biggest ways positive energy makes your world, and the whole world in general, a much better place.

When we talk about energy we should first clear out all the woo woo that is around this topic.

To say it simply, positive energy is expansive and negative energy is contractive. Both are not opposite, but a lower and a higher level on a scale.

Everything that gives you lightness, freedom and expansiveness, it can be considered as positive energy. Here are the 3 biggest ways it affects you.

3 Ways Positive Energy Makes Your World A Better Place:

ways-positive-energy-makes-world-better-place

1. It shows you possibilities.

When you have positive energy your whole perspective changes. From seeing obstacles and problems you start seeing ways and opportunities.

It gives you a sense of how small the things you stressed about actually are, how easy it is to find solutions if you stop obsessing over them.

Your mind immediately starts to generate possibilities and solutions. New ideas show up, new ways to see the world.

2. It makes you feel better.

Positive energy makes you feel positive emotions and enjoyable sensations within your body. It’s the difference between feeling fear and feeling love.

Since emotions are filters through what you paint your reality, feeling positive emotions will literally paint your reality with vibrant colors.

Positive emotions affect your mental clarity, they improve your immune system and create more harmonious flow of energy through your being.

3. It affects others around you.

Your positivity is infectious. It will affect every person you interact with one way or another.

Some people who cling to their negativity will be repulsed by it and others who do not mind expansion will become more positive themselves.

And just imagine what can happen if positivity spreads, and more and more people raise their energy. The whole energy of the world will raise.
