The 3 Types Of Complainers You Should Avoid

September 12, 2018

Science says the human brain is malleable. Meaning, you have the capacity to change the circuitry of your brain by thinking.

“In depression, there’s nothing fundamentally wrong with the brain. It’s simply that the particular tuning of neural circuits creates the tendency toward a pattern of depression. It has to do with the way the brain deals with stress, planning, habits, decision making and a dozen other things, the dynamic interaction of all those circuits. And once a pattern starts to form, it causes dozens of tiny changes throughout the brain that create a downward spiral.” — Dr. Alex Korb

The world’s most renowned scientist, Dr. Michael Merzenich, stressed that there’s a strong relationship between our thoughts and the structural changes in the brain.

Neuroplasticity, then, can either work for you or against you. To see how this works, let’s take complaining as an example of a negative behavior.

Complaining might seem harmless and an easy outlet for negative energy but this practice has the capacity to alter the workings of your your mind towards negativity.

People who complain do not just slowly change their mind but also the thought pattern of the people they surround themselves with.

Here are the 3 types of complainers you should avoid because they spread negativity. They don’t know they’re changing their mind to work against them.

The 3 Types Of Complainers:

1. Attention seeking complainers.

These people, most often, dwell on how more bad things happen to them than anyone else.

They find importance in this, no matter how bizarre it sounds.

They do this simply to seek attention.

2. Chronic complainers.

Chronic complainers live their life in a constant state of complaint.

They either voice out their complaints or think them to themselves if nobody is there.

They repetitively dwell on the same problem without completion.

3. Low EQ complainers.

People with low emotional quotient belong to this group.

They don’t care about other people’s perspective, thoughts, or feelings.

They see people as their sounding board, thus, they grumble when given the opportunity.

Why You Need To Avoid Complainers:

We blame the mind for our negative behavior because we don’t see its neutrality.

However, the mind only reflects back to us what we feed it.

Dwelling continually on negative habits, like complaining, alters our thought processes.

An altered thought can lead to altered beliefs, and then to a change in behavior.

Feed your mind with positivity and it will reshape into a positivity generator.

Surround yourself with things that give you positivity and make you happy.

5 Simple Ways How To Grow Spiritually Every Single Day In The Modern World

Most of us believe that spirituality is an aspect of our lives that should be separate from what we do every day.

It’s as if, when wanting to practice spirituality, we need to close some parts of ourselves. The truth is, our modern world gives us more ways to thrive spiritually than ever.

If we are to evolve into the beings that we truly are, we need to understand that spirituality hides in all aspects of our lives.

A sound body and mind can only be achieved when there is a breath of spirituality in all our activities.

Only integration of all our aspects, spiritual, mental, physical and emotional, can unlock our true potential.

The following suggestions will give you a hint on how you can grow spiritually every single day by using the opportunities of the modern world.

5 Simple Ways How To Grow Spiritually Every Single Day:

1. Use the internet to find your tribe.

You can connect to different types of people across the internet. You can meet people, form relationships with them on different levels, or just read and watch their thoughts.

Whatever you choose to do, the point is you can use the internet to find people and ideas that resonate with your spirit.

There are always someone who walked the same or similar path as you from who you can learn valuable lessons.

Find people you can connect with on a spiritual level. They’re the people from your spiritual tribe, they are people you can speak with about the deeper meaning of life.

Once you find them, strengthen your relationship with them. Your tribe can guide you on your spiritual journey and help you thrive spiritually.

2. Use social media for spiritual advantage.

Social media is a tool that you can use for genuine self expression and customizing feeds with curated information that helps you thrive, or you can be used by social media.

The key factor here is mindfulness. It’s easy to succumb to the pointless scrolling and watch whatever the random algorithm caters to you, or you can learn to use it.

Social media is made so you can customize the stream of information to be as unique as you. It is a powerful tool not many know how to use, so they end up being used by it.

You can follow and like content that resonates with your spiritual values, you can join pages and groups that include likeminded people and you can express your genuine self.

Expressing your genuine self allows you to attract people who can relate and resonate with what you’re saying.

3. Use money in the right way.

We all need money. This is a fact of life. It would be impossible for you to live a peaceful, spiritual life if you don’t have money to provide for yourself or your family’s needs.

But, instead of accumulating more money for the sake of having more of it, see money as a tool you can use to build the life you want to live.

You can use this tool to build businesses and connect with people as well as help others build their dreams.

As with everything, you can use this tool for good and for bad. It’s your choice. It’s not about the tool but what you use it for that matters.

Money could be a spiritual means of making yourself be freer and helping others. Especially in the modern world, you can use this tool for amazing things that uplift humanity.

4. Dress in a way that promotes positive feelings.

Nowhere in known human history has shopping been easier. You can search the internet for literally any clothing you want and it will be delivered at your doorstep in days.

But my point is that you can use this power of technology to level up the game of your clothing. And I don’t mean wear better brands. What I mean is to wear better clothing.

When I say wear better clothing I mean wear more customized clothing that expresses your unique spirit, that shares your values and promotes positive emotions.

You can order customized shirts with your favorite quotes, you can wear colors that uplift your mood, you can find unique accessories that make you stand out from others.

Don’t dress up to look like someone else. Rather, dress in a way that defines the real you. Create your fashion. Being your authentic self is the best gift you can give to the world.

5. Consume foods that help you thrive.

Your body is capable of emitting light that is not seen by the naked eye. This happens especially when your body consumes food that supports it to become healthy and vibrant.

There are foods, fast foods and processed products for example, that can make you feel heavier. These are types of food that are loaded with sugars and artificial preservatives.

The simple philosophy about healthy eating we should all realize is to give your body food that is not tough for it to process it while containing all nutrients it needs.

If the food you give it takes a lot of energy to be processed your body wastes more energy. This energy can be used to keep your immune system strong.

When you consume organic and natural foods, rich in nutrients, you ease the work for your body while giving it energy. This can boost your mood and help you emit higher vibration.

How Each Of The 5 Basic Brainwave States Shapes Your Reality

Psychology

Nezel Padayhag

September 10, 2018

Most of us grew into believing that our reality shapes us. But as science advances, we come to the understanding that, in the most part, we have the power to shape our reality.

Now you must know the difference between reality and the actual world. A reality is the personal world you shape and perceive from the actual world around you.

If you change your reality you actually change your own personal world. Knowing how our brain’s activity influences our perception of the world is the first step in this pursuit.

Your neural connections and brain chemicals might be responsible for your emotions and your perception of the world.

However, more studies point to the importance your brainwave frequency plays in your body’s biologic functions and the shape of your reality.

Even your ability to focus is controlled by your brainwave state. Your unique brainwave activity, with its rhythm and pattern, matches each of your activities.

The brain’s millions of neurological synapses operate on electrical impulses resulting in an overall frequency. This frequency or wavelength directly affects your consciousness.

If you have the ability to measure these waves, you can have the ability to control your own biology.

The basic brainwave states are associated with different mental states and each of these states impacts the shape of your reality in a different way.

The 5 Basic Brainwave States And Their Effect On Reality:

1. Alpha

Alpha waves slow the cycle of your brainwave at 7 to 12 Hertz and help you relax. This state is often associated with imagination, visualization, peace, safety, and relieving stress.

When watching movies or television, this is your brain state. You can also access the deeper realm of consciousness with this state.

2. Beta

Beta waves enhance concentration, cognition, alertness, and focus.

Having a frequency of 13 to 40 Hertz, beta waves help you make quick connections, find ideas for your creative projects, and have the best state of mind when engaging in sports and other physical activities.

3. Theta

Theta is the best state to be when you want to meditate, increase your creativity, memory, intuition, and other extrasensory perception skills. This “shamanic” state of consciousness has a frequency of 4 to 7 Hertz.

Theta waves also increase your chances of becoming more receptive, having visions and flashes that are almost dreamlike, becoming inspired, and digging into your buried memories. This realm is considered elusive and mysterious because brain activity slows down to a point that almost induce you to sleep.

4. Delta

Being the slowest brain wave at 0 to 4 Hertz, Delta is the state of your mind when you’re in deep sleep.

Delta waves are crucial for your body’s restoration and healing. Delta is also the state where your unconscious mind operates.

5. Gamma

Gamma is the newly discovered frequency and has a hyperspeed frequency that is above 40 Hertz. Because of this, not many discoveries have been associated with it.

So far, the Gamma waves are understood to be associated with high level information processing and bursts of higher order thinking and insight.

Conclusion:

On a regular day, different parts of your brain are oscillating on different frequencies even if, at some point, most parts of the brain operate on one dominant frequency within.

To be operating on the same frequency, wherein the brain could work as one, is the ideal state to be because it can make you feel the most powerful.

Some people have been using methods for brain entrainment, like binaural beats to control and make the most of their brainwave frequencies.

Clearly, if you want to change your reality, you can do something about it by using these states in your favor.

Let’s say you want to shift from a stressful mental state to a relaxed one, you can try listening to the kind of frequency that supports the mental state you want to be in.

It’s simple and cheap because you can do it right from the comforts of your own home and all you need is knowing yourself.

Ranking the 21st place in The World’s Most Powerful Person in 2016 by Forbes, he also made it to the 46th place as the richest person in the world.

Undeniably, Elon Musk has one of the greatest influences in our modern world. He is a big part of the shape today’s world has.

Despite being a multimillionaire, Musk also believes in the capacity of humanity to an extent that he created a plan how to save humanity from extinction.

He supports the advocacy to decrease global warming while creating alternative plans of how to save humanity, some that include sending civilizations to other planets.

But how did this guy achieve it all? Big part is in believing that anything we set our minds to is achievable if we only take action.

If you have big dreams, achieving them is not impossible. Take a glimpse of how Elon Musk sees things and be inspired by his words.

10 Inspiring Quotes From Elon Musk To Make You Follow Your Dreams:

1. “When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor.”

When you want a thing badly enough, you will do everything it takes to have it, no matter how hard it gets. You need to find what’s this much important to you.

2. “It is possible for ordinary people to choose to be extraordinary.”

We are all born ordinary. What makes you extraordinary is the way you choose to live your life every single day. Becoming extraordinary is a choice.

3. “The first step is to establish that something is possible then probability will occur.”

Everything starts in the mind. Before you can achieve something, you need to believe in your mind first that it’s achievable.

4. “I think that’s the single best piece of advice: constantly think about how you could be doing things better and questioning yourself.”

There is no limit to learning and doing things. Innovations are born out of the desire to improve things and make them better. So, be not content with what you presently are.

5. “Some people don’t like change, but you need to embrace change if the alternative is a disaster.”

Change is the only permanent thing in this world. If you won’t embrace it, you will have a hard time living your life. The sooner you accept it, the more ahead of others you will be.

6. “If you get up in the morning and think the future is going to be better, it is a bright day. Otherwise, it’s not.”

Your thoughts are powerful and you have the power to control them. If you choose positivity, you will likely receive positive results.

7. “I take the position that I’m always to some degree wrong, and the aspiration is to be less wrong.“

You can only improve yourself when you admit that you can be wrong. There is no room for improvement when you insist that you’re always right, because nobody is.

8. “People should pursue what they’re passionate about. That will make them happier than pretty much anything else.”

The true measure of success is not in the things that you have but how happy you are with the things that you have. Follow your heart’s passion because it’s what makes you happy.

9. “To make an embarrassing admission, I like video games. That’s what got me into software engineering when I was a kid. I wanted to make money so I could buy a better computer to play better video games, nothing like saving the world.”

At times, solving your own problem is solving the problem of the world too. So, keep on finding ways to solve your problem because it may also help others in one way or another.

10. “Really, the only thing that makes sense is to strive for greater collective enlightenment.”

Regardless of the kind of dream that you pursue, the awakening to the truth must be a part of it if we would all reach enlightenment.

How To Detect Each Of The 9 Dark Personality Types Recognized By Psychologists

Psychology

Nezel Padayhag

September 8, 2018

Most of us keep asking how do some people have the capacity to impose harm on others. We can’t explain this phenomena and immediately put them in another category of evil.

People tend to do everything under their power to improve themselves and be the lovable beings that they could possibly be, yet there are still some who seem to do the opposite.

Their view on humanity is far different. They can impose harm to others as simple as brushing their teeth.

These people who we call evil or twisted, may belong to what psychologists refer to as the D factor personality types.

A General Dark Factor of Personality or D factor is said to exist within a person and tells the extent of that person’s dark traits that are ethically, morally, and socially questionable.

The D factor is defined as the tendency to maximize one’s own utility at the expense of others, accompanied by beliefs that serve as justification for one’s malevolent behaviors.

But how to tell if a person has a D factor personality? Scientists from the Ulm University, University of Koblenz Landau, and the University of Copenhagen proposed an idea.

They suggested that the degree of a person’s malevolence can be measured by the same way the intelligence factor is measured.

The D factor works in the same way. Anyone who scores high on a single dark trait also scores high on several other dark traits.

This leads psychologists to suggest that darkness has a common core in humanity and that those dark traits are related to a deeper core.

In identifying the D factor personality, the scientists administered 9 different tests across 4 studies, which focused on the dark traits derived from the psychological literature.

The following are the D factor personality traits as defined by psychologists, along with the Dark Core Scale test designed by psychologist Scott Barry Kauffman.

How To Detect Each Of The 9 Dark Personality Types:

1. Egoism.

Egoism is the excessive concern with one’s own pleasure or advantage at the expense of community well being.

People who fall into this category disregard the feelings of others as long as they’re happy.

Dark Core Scale: It is hard to get ahead without cutting corners here and there.

2. Machiavellianism.

Machiavellianism is characterized by manipulativeness, callous affect, and a strategic calculating orientation.

These people are found mostly in the corporate environment. They manipulate people to get what they want, like putting others down in order to put themselves up.

Dark Core Scale: I like to use clever manipulation to get my way.

3. Moral Disengagement.

A generalized cognitive orientation to the world that differentiates individuals’ thinking in a way that powerfully affects unethical behavior.

In most cases, these people will rationalize that other people made them do nasty things.

Dark Core Scale: People who get mistreated have usually done something to bring it on themselves.

4. Narcissism.

Ego reinforcement is the all consuming motive.

Narcissists love only themselves and see only their needs.

Dark Core Scale: I know that I am special because everyone keeps telling me so.

5. Psychological Entitlement.

A stable and pervasive sense that one deserves more and is entitled to more than others.

These people have a crooked belief that the world owes them something. Thus, they believe they deserve more than what they get.

Dark Core Scale: I honestly feel I’m just more deserving than others.

6. Psychopathy.

Deficits in affect and self control, or impulsivity.

Psychopathy is one trait that is hard to spot because psychopaths may appear normal and charming outside yet manipulative and lack sympathy inside.

Dark Core Scale: I’ll say anything to get what I want.

7. Sadism.

A person who humiliates others, shows a longstanding pattern of cruel or demeaning behavior to others, or intentionally inflicts physical, sexual, or psychological pain or suffering on others in order to assert power and dominance or for pleasure and enjoyment.

Sadists use people as tools in getting what they want. And worst, they find pleasure in seeing the suffering of others.

Dark Core Scale: Hurting people would be exciting.

8. Self Interest.

The pursuit of gains in socially valued domains, including material goods, social status, recognition, academic or occupational achievement, and happiness.

As the name derives, people who are focused only on their own self interests consider things only for their own advantage and make decisions based on what’s best for them without including other people in the picture.

Dark Core Scale: I try to make sure others know about my successes.

9. Spitefulness.

A preference that would harm another but that would also entail harm to oneself. This harm could be social, financial, physical, or an inconvenience.

People who are spiteful are full of hatred in their hearts and derive happiness in seeing the misery of others. They don’t care if they suffer in certain situations as long as they see that other people suffer more than they do.

Dark Core Scale: It is sometimes worth a little suffering on my part to see others receive the punishment they deserve.

When you agree on more items in the Dark Core Scale, it’s likely that you’d score high in the D factor test. Agreeing only on one or two means you’d score low.

7 Studies That Show How Astonishingly Powerful Your Mind Can Be

Attitude

Nezel Padayhag

September 7, 2018

Your mind is more powerful than you can imagine. Every desire that you have can come into reality if you know how to use the true power of your mind.

If you don’t know how to operate with your mind properly, it also has the power to become your worst prison.

Your successes and failures are determined largely by the workings of your mind and the way you use it.

A lot of scientific studies have been done to prove that the human brain is the world’s most powerful and life changing force.

The following examples are just few of them that let you know the tremendous power of your mind.

7 Studies That Show How Astonishingly Powerful Your Mind Is:

1. Meditation dried the sheet.

Meditation, when done regularly and for longer hours, can produce amazing results.

The most notable one happened in one study when the Tibetan monks allowed doctors to cloak them in wet, cold sheets and placed them in a room with a temperature enough to cause hypothermia in a person.

Doing the meditative yoga technique called g Tum mo, the monks generated body heat, causing the sheets covering the monks to dry.

The sheets completely dried within an hour.

According to the monks, the heat they generated was a by product of the meditation.

2. Dreams caused real injuries.

Many people had claimed to get injuries in their dreams and woke up having a physical evidence of the injury. Other even show scars and scratch marks.

Psychiatrist Ian Stevenson reported a case of the Indian named Durga Jatav who was at the time suffering from typhoid fever.

Jatav vividly dreamed of having been a captive of the other realm where his captors cut off his legs to keep him from escaping.

His legs were already severed when his captors realized they had the wrong man. As he was about to be released, Jatav asked for his legs for he couldn’t leave without them. They were then reattached.

When he awakened, deep fissures were found around his knees that were never there before. But X ray photographs showed no abnormality under the skin’s surface.

This makes Jatav and his family believe the more that the marks came from his vivid dream experience.

3. The nocebo effect.

The nocebo effect is the total opposite of the placebo, which is associated with positive outcomes.

In nocebo, the effects are negative, like a person having rashes after touching an ordinary plant believing it was poison ivy.

A story that is often cited is the incident of an Alabama man who was told by a witch doctor that he will die soon. After a few weeks, the man fell ill and was close to death.

But doctors did not find anything wrong with him.

After hearing what happened to the man prior to his condition, Dr. Doherty fabricated a story telling the couple he had tracked down the witch doctor and had him admit of putting a lizard inside the man that ate him from the inside.

The doctor assured his patient that he had injected him with a substance that successfully extracted the green lizard from his body. The next day, the man awoke alert and soon recovered.

4. Meditation blocks out the pain.

The Dutch Jewish writer, Jack Schwartz, was among those forced into the Nazi concentration camp during the second world war. He received horrible torture like many others.

Without losing hope, Schwartz started to practice meditation and prayer, which later enabled him to block out the pain and stay sane while in that dreadful situation.

Schwartz continued the practice even after his release. With his mind over matter practice, Schwartz can pierce his skin with a needle without causing injury on it.

Researchers from the Menninger Foundation proved how his brain, which had different electrical activity compared to the other test subjects, could control many of his bodily processes.

Schwartz even claimed seeing people’s auras too.

5. Visualization has profound effects on sports.

While most athletes attributed their mastery of the game through mental practice, the bodily changes during visualizations may go deeper.

One instance is the case of Air Force Colonel George Hall who was held captive in North Vietnam. With nothing to do inside the small, dark room where he was imprisoned, he visualized playing golf every day.

He saw himself hit the ball off the tree, raked the sand straps, felt the wind, and finally tapped the ball into the hall.

Despite being weak and losing a lot of weight, he requested to play golf after he was released.

When he broke a 76, everybody thought it was a beginner’s luck. But the truth was he never stepped on a golf course for over 7 years. His imagination only did and his muscles cooperated.

6. Positive mindset can help the healing.

Several medical studies prove that cancer patients who are exposed to positive reinforcement have a great chance of survival than those who don’t.

David Seidler took positivity to a higher level. He claimed having eliminated his cancer through meditation and imagination.

For years, he battled with bladder cancer until he resolved of getting rid with it through the use of his imagination.

Two weeks before his scheduled surgery, he started envisioning his bladder to be clean, cream colored, and healthy.

No cancer cells were found during the pre surgery biopsy. For Seidler, it was the work of his visualizations.

7. A simple change in mindset can give weight loss.

Losing weight takes more than just diet and a physical activity regimen. While being the most important component, it is often overlooked. This is about having the right mindset.

To prove how the mind affects the body, psychologist Ellen Langer conducted an experiment that has predominantly overweight maids as test subjects. With the physical exertion in their work, they should have been thin.

A survey said 67% of the maids felt they didn’t do any type of exercise. Believing the women’s perception hampered in their weight loss, Langer took aside half of the women.

Their physical measurements were taken and they were also informed that they were living an active lifestyle through their cleaning work. No information was given to the other half of the maids.

After one month, those who were educated were found to have a decreased blood pressure and weight, while no changes were found with the other half.

Langer felt that a change in mindset triggered the change in the maids’ bodies.

Breakups Are Different For Men And Women And Here Is How

Psychology

Nezel Padayhag

September 6, 2018

Hearing someone tell you they no longer love you makes you feel like the whole world is crumbling down upon you.

Sometimes we wonder if men feel the same as women after a breakup. Even though we know everybody feels something, we want to know who is hurting the most?

Whether you’re a man or a woman, the pain is excruciating, especially when you have invested much in the relationship.

The person who was left behind is hurt the most, but the pain feels different for men and women according to a study.

There’s a study that researched exactly this question, the different effects a breakup has on men and women, and it discovered it actually has quite different effects on both sides.

How Are Breakups Different For Men And Women According To A Study:

There was a study conducted by the researchers from Binghamton University and University College London on how breakups affect men and women.

There were 5,705 participants from 96 countries who were asked to recall their last breakup and the emotional memories associated with it.

Then they were asked to rate their physical and emotional pain from 1 up to 10. They can rate 1 if they don’t feel any pain at all and 10 for the most horrible pain.

What the researchers found is that women feel the strongest effects of a breakup, having an average rating for emotional pain being 6.84 and for physical pain as 4.21.

For men, the average is 6.58 for emotional pain and 3.75 for the physical. It does hurt but not as quite as painful as that of the women.

This, researchers theorize, could mean women invested more in a relationship than men do in general.

Women invest more in a relationship.

In a press release, Craig Morris, a lead author and a research associate at Binghamton University explained for this difference:

“Put simply, women are evolved to invest far more in a relationship than a man. A brief romantic encounter could lead to nine months of pregnancy followed by many years of lactation for an ancestral woman, while the man may have ‘left the scene’ literally minutes after the encounter, with no further biological investment. It is this ‘risk’ of higher biological investment that, over evolutionary time, has made women choosier about selecting a high quality mate. Hence, the loss of a relationship with a high quality mate ‘hurts’ more for a woman.”

Men feel the pain longer and more deeply.

Surprisingly, while women are hurting the most, they can move on with the passage of time.

For men, it’s different. They may move on after the breakup, but the loss will ferment and linger. It will take a while longer for the loss to sink in and they may feel it more deeply.

Social dynamics may also play a role in how men deal with breakups. Getting over it is the acceptable norm but a rather harmful course of action to take.

The above differences do not just show the effects breakups have but may explain the difference in the way men and women approach each relationship.

The more serious they treat it, the more it hurts when things won’t work out the way they planned it to be.

Whatever the case, breakups hurt for both men and women. For women the pain might be stronger at the beginning but for men it lasts longer and feels deeper.

10 Tips How To Become The Best Person That You Can Be

Journey

Nezel Padayhag

September 5, 2018

We all have bigger potential within us than we think we have. We can be and do much, much more. We can influence the world on a much bigger scale.

Success in all areas of life depends largely on how you carry yourself. Whether you want to be the best lover or worker, you can’t become one without having to work for it.

You need to be the best that you can be before you can attract the best things and the best people to come your way.

You need to be aware, though, that becoming your best self doesn’t mean things will flow smoothly in your life. You may still encounter hardships along the way.

Yet, these things are easy to handle when you have become the best version of yourself. The suggestions below will help you become one.

10 Tips How To Become The Best Person:

1. Love yourself the way you want to be loved.

There is no one in the world who can provide you the love that you need except your own self. You alone know yourself inside out, including your strengths, weaknesses, failures, successes, and quirkiness.

If you can love yourself despite some of the things that you hate in yourself, then it would be easier for others to love you the same.

In the same way, you can’t love others for who they truly are if you can’t love yourself for who you really are. Make it a point to love yourself genuinely and be energetically vibrant.

2. Go deeper and discover the beauty within you.

As Aristotle pointed out, “Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” It’s because while growing up, we have been conditioned to believe we need to become someone else.

Seeing yourself other than who you really are may block you from seeing your true beauty.

You are a divine being destined to spark. But you can’t see yourself this way unless you connect to yourself much more deeply.

3. Accept your own uniqueness.

Avoid the pitfall of comparing yourselves with others. You have your own journey and have a different path to take.

Don’t be afraid to express your unique self because that is who you are. You don’t need approval or validation.

Follow your own unfolding and focus on your unique gifts. You alone carry the kind of gift you are intended to share with the world.

4. Forgive and heal yourself.

Carrying grudges decreases your life force. Forgive others even if they don’t ask for it. Forgive yourself too.

Healing begins with the act of forgiveness. When you forgive, you free yourself and heal yourself from all the pains that you may have accumulated for so long.

Once freed, you begin to gain access to your life force.

5. Be aware of your inner critic.

Most often, your inner critic is your worst critic, telling you to be more than what you can be. Don’t fight this inner critic because you will only waste your energy.

Instead, be more compassionate with yourself.

When this critic speaks tell yourself how much you love yourself for all that you are. Love conquers all, your inner critic included.

6. Follow your gut feeling.

Learn to honor your gut feeling or intuition.

Most often, it carries the answers to your questions and serves as a guide in making important decisions.

Your intuition is your inner knowing that only wants the best for you.

7. Practice meditation.

A regular practice of meditation goes a long way.

Meditating for at least 15 to 20 minutes a day is enough to calm your mind, free you from stress, and enhance your well being.

It’s also a great means of connecting with your inner being.

8. Honor your body.

Your body is your physical manifestation in this world. It’s how others connect to you on a physical level.

When it’s in good shape, your connections outside and inside can go smoothly.

Give it the self care that it needs. Feed it with nourishing food, get enough rest, and do physical exercises.

9. Design your best life.

You have in your capacity the full power to design your life the way that inspires you to wake up every morning with vigor and excitement.

You can create a unique living that suits your special needs.

It’s the kind of life that may not be the ideal one in the world’s standards, but one where love prospers and where you can be absolutely happy.

10. Strive to make a difference in your small part of the world.

Wherever you are, you can make a difference in your own unique way.

Your contribution may be small, but giving all your best to the world can create ripples that will ultimately touch the lives of more people than you could expect.

Even becoming the best person that you can be is enough to create a spark in the hearts of others that you may come into contact with.

Remember, the greatest person you are to meet in this world is still within you. Awaken that person and be the best that you can be.
