August 10, 2018

When it comes to attraction, we are all interested in finding the secret formula of how to attract someone.

However, most of us don’t even know the signs someone shows when they are attracted to us. We might sit in front of someone who is highly attracted to us and don’t even notice.

As much as we want to hide how we feel towards someone there are clues we can’t help but give out. These subtle signs are stronger than us. They reveal how we feel.

Being attracted to someone is nothing to be ashamed of. Attraction happens on a deep psychological and energetic level, and it’s outside of our conscious control.

What you can do, however, is learn the subtle signs someone shows when they are attracted to you. This way you can know next time you speak with someone who likes you.

5 Major Signs Of Attraction:

1. Physical Touch

Someone who is attracted to you will use every excuse to touch you. They will be physical and in close proximity to you. Their body language will be open and they will be turned facing you. Their legs will point towards you and their energy will be open.

2. Dilated Pupils

When you look at the eyes of someone who is attracted to you their pupils will most likely be highly dilated. It is proven that our pupils dilate when we look at something we love and contract when we don’t feel good emotions.

3. Overly Laughing At Your Jokes

Nice way to test if someone is attracted to you is to tell a good joke at first, one that makes almost everybody laugh. After a couple of minutes tell another joke that’s not as funny. If the person you talk with overly laughs at all your jokes it means they like you.

4. They Copy Your Moves

If a person you talk with mimics your movement and behavior it means they are seeking emotional connection with you. When you drink from your glass try to notice if they immediately grab their drink to take a sip. Scratch your leg, see if they do the same.

5. Slight Nervousness

We are all a little nervous when we speak with someone who is really attractive. We might act fidgety and giggle uncontrollably. These twitches are nervous surges arising from the feelings we try to hide. If someone is nervous speaking to you, chances are they like you.

See if the person you speak with shows any of these signs. If they show more than 3 of these signs they like you without a doubt. Being aware enough to notice if someone is attracted to you might help you find your ideal partner.

How To To Increase Your Brain’s Plasticity By Creating New Habits

Attitude

Nezel Padayhag

August 9, 2018

Creating new habits may not be an easy process, but it doesn’t mean they’re unattainable if you have the right mindset.

Contrary to what most people think, your brain isn’t fixed. It has the ability to grow and expand throughout your lifetime due to brain plasticity.

When you know how to use your brain’s plasticity, you will be able to make your brain work for you. Dr. Michael Merzenich defines brain plasticity as the “the brain’s ability to change its anatomical, neurochemical, and functional performance status across the lifespan.”

Meaning, your brain can form new cells and neural connections and improve its capabilities in response to what you think and do.

When you were born, your brain was largely unformed and was designed to build new, neural pathways that support learning from experience.

It undergoes rapid development in the first few years of life, then slows down when you reach adulthood.

Failing to develop new neural pathways could result in a mental decline.

But, brain plasticity allows you to create new brain cells and neural connections regardless of your age when you do these three things:

– learning something new;

– having new experiences;

– keeping your brain healthy;

Why Creating New Habits Is Hard:

Before we proceed to how you can rewire your brain, let’s take a look first to the reasons why creating new habits most often will fail.

The culprits are these two, motivation and willpower.

Why Motivation Won’t Work?

Many gurus say motivation is key. However, there’s a downside to this.

Motivation won’t work when you do certain things for the pleasure of having what you want and avoiding the things that you don’t want.

For example, when you are motivated to stay fit to appear fabulous in your swimsuit for the summer and avoid to look unfit. Whether or not you get what you want, your motivation may diminish with the passage of time.

Why Willpower Won’t Work?

When motivation fails, you may stick to willpower. But you’re a human being who doesn’t have an endless supply of willpower.

When vulnerability strikes, which they sometimes will, you won’t be able to take hold of your willpower. Doing the things that you don’t want to do just depletes your willpower.

This is the reason why new year’s resolution won’t work to some, despite the motivation and willpower.

The trick then lies in using the power of your subconscious mind. Neuroscientist Dr. Bruce Lipton says that your subconscious mind dictates 95% of your life and runs it on autopilot.

You’re able to do tasks even without thinking about it, like driving a car. This is how habits are formed.

Doing something often enough creates a habit, which is the activity that you do with a minimal effort and thought. Creating new habits enhances your brain’s plasticity.

How To To Increase Your Brain’s Plasticity:

1. Take small, baby steps.

While setting big goals look inspiring, the chances of achieving them lies in the small chunks of work that you do towards its attainment. Divide your big goals into small chunks, then do them.

Let’s say, your goal is to start walking 5 miles a day. Of course, you can’t do it right away. You have to start small.

You can begin by walking 5 minutes a day and gradually increase it as your brain adapts to this new habit.

Your mind has the habit of resisting change. But when you do it in small steps, your subconscious mind is able to accept it much readily.

2. Use triggers.

Triggers are what cause an event or situation to take place.

This means when you walk after a cup of coffee in the morning, your mind creates an association that triggers you to walk after you have your morning coffee.

Creating a visual trigger is helpful too. Putting a photo of a person taking a walk in your vision board encourages you to take your morning walk.

3. Make the necessary preparations.

Preparation enhances your chances of success. In our example of taking a walk, you need to have enough preparation for this goal.

Decide where you go, what time of day you’re doing it, how many minutes to do it, and if you’re taking it alone or with a buddy.

Prepare your music or audiobook. Make it as easy for you as possible to just get out and start walking.

4. Put your stuff in a convenient place.

Putting your stuff in a convenient place increases your chances of success. Put your walking shoes, socks, face towel, water bottle, keys, and other things you want to bring in one convenient place. Having everything ready makes it easier for you to do it.

5. Make it fun.

Make your new habit fun and exciting. If you choose to be alone, you can listen to music or podcast, or simply enjoy the sight and sounds of nature.

But if you want a companion, you can take your dog or ask someone who shares the same goal as you. Increasing the fun of doing it decreases the chances of your brain to resist.

Again, there are a lot of ways that you can enhance your brain’s plasticity aside from the above example.

You can learn a new language, do physical exercise, try art, or meditate. Whatever you choose, the most important thing is to keep your brain constantly healthy.

Have a diet that is rich in brain healthy nutrients to keep your brain functioning properly. Whatever your goals in life are, you can create new, healthy habits around them by following the steps above and enhancing your brain’s plasticity.

5 Types Of Fear That Are The Opportunities To A Positive Change In Your Life

Journey

Nezel Padayhag

August 8, 2018

Considered to be an emotional response triggered by an imminent threat, our fear is the greatest challenge we all need to face and overcome in our life.

If our fear is always being avoided, it will become a monster that locks us up in the dark prison of our minds.

We hide, we run, we act stupidly just to avoid fear. And the more we resist it the bigger monster we create of it.

The truth is, fear has full control of us because we don’t live in the present moment, but in our mind, and in our mind fear can be anything.

Fear is a protective program, it’s not against you. But if we let fear to make the decisions for us it will protect us to the point where we find ourselves locked within our own prison.

Behind every fear there is a truth that needs to come out into the open. Every kind of fear is just a door that hides some truth inside.

Once you find the courage to open what’s hidden inside, you will find the biggest opportunities for growth and evolution in your life.

There are different types of fear. We are affected by different type of fear at different points in our life depending on what we need most for growth and what holds us back.

Here are the 5 most common fears that are disguises for big opportunities. Find the one that has the biggest effect on you right now and see what kind of truth it’s within.

5 Types Of Fear That Are The Opportunities To A Positive Change:

1. The fear of change.

You’re afraid of change because familiarity breeds comfort. Like a child who doesn’t want to lose sight of his mother on the first day of school, you don’t want to get out of your comfort zone because it’s where you feel protected and secure.

But as you grow older and start to see the world, you realize how small your awareness had been.

Had you not let go of the sight of your mother, you would not have known another world that is open for you to explore.

If you’re afraid of change, you deprive yourself of growing, evolving, and of testing your limits. The fear of change keeps you locked up in an unhappy place, be it a toxic relationship or unfulfilling career.

This fear is an opportunity to accept the inevitability of change and proactively step out of your comfort zone and grow. It highlights the limits of your comfort zone so you will know where growth and evolution begin.

2. The fear of being alone.

Most often, the fear of being alone is prompted by your own feelings of insecurity. You don’t feel secure with yourself because you feel you’re not good enough on your own.

You have been used to relying on other people for your security and happiness. Dependence isn’t the same with sharing and working together.

Being separated from your mother as early as infancy makes you feel disconnected. As a child, you have an unmet need that needs fulfillment.

But as you grow up you can take care of yourself. This dependency, if not overcome, creates a fear of being alone.

And ironically, if you do not spend time alone you cannot prove to yourself that you can be just fine by yourself, hence, you cannot overcome this illusion of dependency.

If being alone is one of your fears, it only means you need to work on your self confidence and self worth.

Once you’re confident to spend time being alone, without feeling less, you will find your own self worth. You will begin to see that a lot of people are like family.

Look into this fear and provide comfort to your inner child. It’s one way of healing yourself from this fear.

This fear is an opportunity for you to become self sufficient and independent. It highlights all the things you think you cannot do by yourself. Look at these things and do them by yourself. Each activity will reveal more of your self worth.

3. The fear of standing for your own truth.

Being conditioned to get validity from others for every word that you say leads you to be afraid of standing for your own truth.

Even if you know your idea is much, much better than that of the common belief, you refuse to speak thinking others might disagree.

This fear might have started in your childhood when you experienced bullying or when you were ridiculed by your immediate family or caregivers for saying your truth.

As a result, you guard yourself against anything that doesn’t feel comfortable, hiding your true self.

But your truth is a gift not anyone possesses. No one can see things the way you do. When you follow your own truth, you attract like minded people who want to live freely like you.

The way to get out of the cocoon you have built for yourself is to open up and be your genuine self.

This fear is an opportunity for you to be and express more of yourself. It highlights where you are incongruent in your reality. Use this knowledge to tell your truth and your reality will reshape with things you love and resonate with.

4. The fear of trying.

You’re afraid to try because of the possibility of failing, or succeeding, which is what terrifies us the most.

It’s normal to fail. Only a few endeavors succeeded with the first try. Most successes passed through the bridge of failures. And we think we want to succeed.

But most often, we are terrified of both of them. In fact, we are afraid of trying because it means we will face reality and it’s either not the way we think it is, or it is and we are right.

Either we are wrong and we cannot fantasize anymore, or we are right and we might get the results we want and they are disappointing in reality.

In both cases, we cannot fantasize about our results. We face reality and we either fail or see it’s not like we fantasized.

The fear of trying comes from loving our fantasy for the result more than the result itself. But reality is better than fantasy, even if it’s not exactly how we fantasized it.

This fear is an opportunity for you get what you want to get. It highlights the things that really matter to you. Use this fear to see the things you really want to get, however, let go of fantasizing and try to actually get them.

5. The fear of rejection.

The fear of rejection has something to do with being afraid of not being good enough. It’s how society conditioned us to feel.

But if you’re able to tweak your mindset a bit you’ll see that rejection only means something better is within you and you are not showing it.

If you believe your lack of certain skills caused you to get rejected, then do something to improve those skills.

If you are scared of being rejected because you doubt you are good enough, open yourself to rejection.

In both cases you will improve yourself to be the best version of yourself. The point of this is the realization that the rejection has nothing to do with who you really are.

If you get rejected it has nothing to do with the real you. We are all good enough, but thinking that some outside factor can validate us makes us not good enough.

Open yourself to these things and be rejected, you’ll either see all the skills you want to improve or you’ll see they were never really a factor to tell your worth.

This fear is an opportunity for you to become the best version of you. It highlights all the things keeping you from becoming your best self. You do this with giving your power away to them by seeking validation. You decide your own worth.

10 Signs That Tell Your Partner Truly Loves You

Dejan

August 7, 2018

Having somebody that loves you is one of the most beautiful things you can experience in life.

Most relationships nowadays are based on some form of advantage. Your partner might say they love you, they might even act as if they love you, but you feel there is something off.

When someone loves somebody there are signs they can’t help but show. Real love cannot be faked.

As much as you want to hide loving somebody, there are certain things you can’t control. We all show these signs when we are touched by cupid’s arrow.

So if you want to know whether or not your partner truly loves you, see how much of these signs they show. If they show all 10 they are obsessed with you.

10 Signs Your Partner Truly Loves You:

1. Wants to spend time with you.

Although both of you may be tied up with work, family, and other commitments, someone who truly cares about you will use whatever time is left over to have some alone time together. This is a clear indicator a person loves you.

2. Has a complete trust in you.

If your partner gives you the benefit of a doubt it means they trust you. A partner who doesn’t question where you are if you come home late or doesn’t snoop through your cell phone bills is showing the kind of trust that shows a sign of real love.

3. Respects your views and opinions.

You will find yourself on a different side of an argument with your partner. It’s normal to have different views and opinions about certain topics. However, someone who truly loves you will not disrespect you for your views. They will disagree, but they will show respect.

4. Asks about your day.

Someone who truly loves you will ask about your day when you are alone with them. They will see if they can help you with something, or just lend you a listening ear to have as an outlet you can use to filter out daily stress. When they ask, they will listen.

5. Likes to connect with you emotionally.

A partner who truly loves you will not be afraid to be emotionally available. They will want to share their emotions with you. And they will not be afraid to connect with you on a deeper level, to listen to your deeper feelings, worries and desires.

6. Looks deeply into your eyes.

Someone who looks away while you talk either hides something from you or is not interested in what you have to say. A partner who really loves you will be drawn deep into your eyes as you speak. They will look deeply in your eyes, even if you don’t say anything.

7. Their pupils dilate when looking at you.

A little detail we can’t help to control when we love someone is the dilation of our pupils. When we look at things we love our pupils dilate. If your partner looks deeply in your eyes and their pupils are dilated there is a big chance they are in love with you.

8. Makes you feel good about yourself.

Partner who loves you will try almost anything to make you feel good about yourself. If your partner tries to change your perspective into a more positive one as you whine, they are showing a big sign of true caring and love for you. Try to be aware of this.

9. Laughs at your jokes even if they are not that funny.

The reaction people give us when we tell a joke can say a lot about their intention and feelings they have for us. If someone laughs at your jokes all the time, even though you know your jokes are not this good, they either want a promotion or they really love you.

10. Includes you in their decisions.

Probably the biggest sign your partner truly loves and respects you is including you in their decisions. This means they love to make you a part of their life. They will ask you for an opinion and they will consider your advices when you give them.

How To Be The Best Self: 3 Things To Do This August To Be A Better Version Of Yourself

Attitude
Life Coach Code

Dejan

August 6, 2018

The past month we focused more on reconnecting with yourself but we didn’t say how important nurturing yourself is.

This month we will be doing exactly this. We will learn how to nurture and take care of ourselves, our needs and our emotions.

As we heal past trauma and inner wounds it’s important to create moments for yourself when you take a break, recharge and care for your needs.

This journey of becoming our best selves is not all about overcoming obstacles, facing wounds and being persistent without taking a look at ourselves.

It is crucial to take a moment and show loving care for ourselves. It is crucial to cater to our own needs because after all, we are human beings.

Yes we can crawl through everything, but it’s dishonorable to not reward yourself for everything you went through. So here is what we say you should do.

3 Things To Do This August To Be The Best Self:

1. Find what your essential unmet needs are and fulfill them.

We all have personal needs and desires. However, as we try to live up to society’s standards we tend to push these needs and desires away. But this is turning your back on yourself. If you need to take a day off, take it. Find what are your essential needs that you have left unmet and fulfill them for yourself. You can be imperfect and irresponsible for a day as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone. What do you need for yourself? Find out and meet your needs.

2. Let your emotions be free and accept them without judgment.

We tend to try and control our emotions. But all that we do is control our actions while suppressing our emotions. We cannot actually control an emotion, just as we cannot control the words that we read. We can control the actions we take based on those emotions, the message we understand and the lesson we learn, but we cannot control the emotion itself. Thinking that we control our emotions means we label them as right or wrong and put the wrong ones aside, somewhere within us. This is not just turning our back on ourselves, but we also fail to hear the message the emotion has to tell us. So this month let the emotions you’ve been suppressing within you free. Accept them as what they are and stop trying to control or change them. Stop resisting them. Dive into them. Feel them. See what they say to you. Do not judge them as neither emotion is bad by itself. Fully embrace them and love them. Stop being afraid of them as they cannot harm you. As you do this you will realize that these bottled up emotions will fade much quicker than you imagined. But you will also realize the messages they tell you are one of the most important and insightful lessons you can learn about yourself.

3. Go on a vacation or at least take spa day.

All of us need a vacation. Some say make your life like a vacation but you will need a vacation from such life too. It doesn’t matter how you live, taking time off from your regular activities, changing your environment and lifestyle is a need for everyone. It’s something we all need to recharge our batteries from the mundane everyday life. Just like a muscle needs a day off when you exercise it, you need a vacation to refresh and realign. If you are not in a position to take a 10 or 7 day vacation at least take a day off and go to the spa. Nurture your body, mind, spirit and heart. Whatever you do, just take a day for yourself with intent to show kindness and care, to recharge and to produce some feel good emotions. And not just one day, do one nurturing thing per day and see how you feel.

Astrology And Cosmic Update For August 2018: Here is What August is Bringing for Each Person

Journey

Dejan

August 6, 2018

If the last month was all about intense energy and healing past wounds, this month will start similar, with high intensity to help you throughly examine your inner self.

This is in order to highlight your inner wounds, bottled emotions and trauma so you can heal them as much as you can.

As this month continues it will slowly decrease in emotional intensity to give you a sense of relief and healing.

For those of you who identify with being highly sensitive, perhaps a little more introvert and shy, you are about to find your power in the world.

Don’t be surprised if you are now getting really strong urges to shake up the game in your life a little more, you might have urges to get out, to connect, to be bolder than usual.

You will find your emotional fluency and your ability to have emotional leadership in a conversation.

This is going to magnetize and connect you to the people and the places that are truly receptive to you and appreciative.

It’s really important to focus on how you take care of yourself, whether it’s self soothing or grounding into reality.

If you do that, the rest of your visions will fall into place more effortlessly than you might realize is possible.

Here Is What Astrologists Say August Has In Store For Each Person:

During the first week of August we may still feel things rising up from the depths in order to be cleared.

Emotions may also be high during the first week of August as Mars, which is still in retrograde, continues to be very active.

Mars is our inner warrior, and can help us to achieve and overcome all obstacles, but when this energy is not in balance, or when it’s met with lots of lunar energy like it is in August, it can cause us to feel restless, agitated, and even aggressive.

If there is any anger or frustration buried underneath the surface, the first week of August may lead you to get things off your chest.

Even though it can be tempting, it is best to practice patience and to really think it through if you are planning on confronting someone or taking action on something.

This energy does have an impulsive feel to it, so it’s going to be important to not leap before looking. Under all of this energy, slow and steady really does win the race.

On August 7th we have Uranus going retrograde, making a total of six planets in retrograde. This is going to continue the theme we have been dealing with since July.

Having so many planets in retrograde is a sign from The Universe that we need to stop and reflect on our past before moving forward.

Uranus going retrograde may bring up issues that were occurring around May 2018, or you may receive more insights or wisdom as to something that was stirring around this time.

On August 8th we have the opening of the Lionsgate Portal, which will be activating our soul bodies and helping us to upgrade and fine tune to higher frequencies and vibrations.

Following this we also have a Solar Eclipse on August 11th in the sign of Leo. This is the most potent and influential aspect of the month and it’s going to be lighting a new path forward.

This Solar Eclipse is going to bring new opportunities that will help us to start a new chapter in our lives.

It is the last Eclipse for 2018, and we are going to be working with its energy until the next Eclipse season starts in January 2019.

On August 18 and 19th, Mercury will turn direct after being retrograde since July 25th. This is going to help things start speeding up again, but with many other planets still in retrograde, it is only going to offer a small reprieve.

The real release with all of these retrogrades comes on August 27th when Mars finally goes direct after being retrograde since the end of June.

Mars will take a few days to rev back up, but once it does we are going to feel huge waves of action and energy.

In fact, September will be a great month to push forward and we are going to be feeling far more energized and awakened.

Just a day before Mars turns direct we also have the Pisces Full Moon. This is one of the most beautiful Full Moon’s of the year and has wonderful prosperous, romantic, and creative energy that we all get to enjoy.

The best thing you can do this month is take care of yourself and your emotions as they fluctuate in intensity.

As you release the bottled up emotions while being kind and taking care of yourself, you will feel happier, freer and more positive. You will feel emotional purification that will help you become the best you that you know you are.

August 6, 2018

Our mind is a powerful tool. We can all agree to this. However, not a lot of us are really aware of what our minds can do at any moment.

We are so used to living the way we do that everything our mind does for us to experience reality is taken for granted.

5 Ways How To Find Peace When You’re Being Emotional

Attitude

Nezel Padayhag

August 5, 2018

Some people are more emotional than others. But being emotional is not a bad thing if you know how to manage your emotions and use them in your advantage.

We all feel emotional at some point. Some of us are able to push through while others, on the other side of the spectrum, end up taking medicines.

But being emotional is not a challenge you need to push through, nor something you need to protect yourself from. It’s a period when you can learn the most and grow the most.

To be able to use emotions for growth you need to be able to find peace in midst of feeling emotional. But it takes a great mastery of oneself to find peace in such times.

We can’t control the chaos of emotions. But finding peace is not getting rid of the chaos. Real peace can be found at the eye of the storm.

We will share 5 ways you can find peace when you feel emotional so you can use your emotions to learn really powerful truths about your self and grow.

5 Ways How To Find Peace When You Feel Emotional:

1. Accept that you are just a human like everyone else.

See yourself as who you really are, a human being just like anybody else. You have your own problems and struggles, just like everyone else.

Stop comparing yourself to others because you’re neither above nor below them. We have the same number of hours in a day, we all have to get up every morning and find meaning in life. Sometimes it’s easy, sometimes it’s hard, but we all fight a hard battle.

By seeing yourself as a normal and ordinary human being, your are giving yourself permission to feel. By knowing others feel emotional too, you are not going to feel alone with your emotions. By accepting yourself as just a human, you stop doubting yourself.

And this realization gives us peace because we realize it’s just who we are, there’s nothing wrong with us.

Accepting that you’re ordinary human makes you feel less alone and more at peace.

2. Acknowledge your discomfort.

Don’t resist any uncomfortable feelings when they come. Instead, acknowledge their presence and embrace them.

If you feel like crying, then cry. It’s a good way of releasing the tensions from your body.

Placing one hand on your chest and the other on your belly, while breathing deeply, protects you from getting overwhelmed by these emotions.

By acknowledging your discomfort fully, it will stop being so discomfortable. you’ll realize it was your resistance of your emotions that gave you discomfort and your emotions per se.

This will give you presence within your emotions and peace feeling them.

3. Stay present with your emotions.

When we feel emotional we tend to look for ways how we can escape from the present moment and from feeling.

We turn the TV, we watch something, we drink, we play something, we use our phone. Whatever we can to avoid feeling the emotions we feel.

But these avoidance of feeling your emotions makes your emotions much more scary and intense than they really are.

They just want you to feel them and they’ll go away. They are like messengers who are really persistent to tell you a message. So let them. Be present with them. Feel them.

Feel them fully. Feel the discomfort they make, where they make it. Try to observe them and you can even give them a color. Stay with them, accept them unconditionally.

4. Express your emotions.

There are many ways you can express your emotions. You can sing, dance, exercise, journal, write, or even paint.

Journaling is one way of digging deeper into your inner self. Through it, you’ll be able to be honest with your emotions and express them without any filter.

It’s one of the best ways of releasing and understanding the accumulated emotions inside you.

Through writing, you’re able to purge out all the self defeating thoughts you may have, your fears, pains, doubts.

Writing in your journal even for 10 to 15 minutes a day enables you to clear your mind of its clutter.

Once your mind is cleared, it’s much easier to feel your emotions and listen to what they have to say.

5. Stop trying to control.

The greatest irony and absurdity we tend to make is try to control our emotions. We mistake controlling our actions with controlling our emotions.

You can control your actions, but you cannot control an emotion. By nature an emotion is chaotic, it doesn’t follow a scheme or a defined behavior, it’s free and unique.

All we do by trying to control our emotions is suppressing them deep within our selves. These emotions are still there, pending for us to feel them.

And as much as we do this the more we fill ourselves up with unfelt emotions until one day we have mental breakdown.

So when you are feeling emotional, stop trying desperately to control everything. just let go and embrace the way you feel. Embrace the storm of emotions and do not resist.

As you do this you will realize that your emotions cannot hurt you if you do not resist them. You will pass through the storm and you’ll get right to the center, to the eye of the storm.

And there, in the midst of your emotions, in the eye of the storm you will find the greatest peace you did not know existed within you.
