Happiness & Humor

When creating the lives we want for ourselves, we need to keep envisioning in our hearts and our minds what we DO want, not putting focus on that which we do NOT want. Again, it’s all about the energy and where our attention goes is where things will grow in our lives. Where we put the most attention is where we will see our manifestations literally come to life!

Insecurities and fears lead you to ignore the positives leading to a loss of self-belief. The way out of this negative spiral is to change the definition of life to ‘Living in Freedom Everyday’. By making the right choices, you attract positive people and opportunities. Given our busy schedules, it might not always be possible to pursue any single form of wellness. But you can make small changes from various forms. Motivational speaker and life coach Santosh Joshi gives some easily do-able tips to change your definition of life and attract positive energy.

If you’re anything like me, you may have a hard time asking for help when it comes to personal stuff. If I can’t reach something off a shelf, sure I’m good with requesting some assistance, but when it gets a bit deeper than that, I tend to wanna handle everything on my own; retreat inward and soak on it in a little “me-time” solitude. My mental cave is always warm and welcoming with popcorn made and a Netflix marathon ready to go. But sometimes, when the popcorn’s run out and your ass is asleep from too much couch-potato-ing, you reach a point where your ego allows you to understand that your ONLY way out to reach a solution is another’s perspective.

Non-attachment isn’t dimming your fire or passion. It isn’t denying how you feel. It is merely taking the steps necessary to discipline yourself to not stay IN one emotion, because we’re not meant to. Our natural state is neutral (no coincidence they are such similar words) and to remain balanced; and practicing non-attachment allows us to live a more balanced life.

Dr. P. Murali Doraiswamy, an expert in brain and mind health, said this about gratitude: “If [thankfulness] were a drug, it would be the world’s best-selling product with a health maintenance indication for every major organ system.” Gratitude actually alters your brain in a number of beneficial ways, and it’s the single best predictor of good relationships.

The first step is living an authentic life, is being conscious that you are presently not. If you are the type of person who has continual chaos in their lives, but always looking outward blaming the world and other people for your problems, rather than taking account for your own thoughts and behavior, then you may not care too much about being “real”. Why? Because you’ve subconsciously learned that it’s safer to change and morph yourself around external situations. In other words, you have learned to live RE-actively, rather than PRO-actively. But, I ask you…which one sounds more powerful?

You can pick up on these patterns on energy shifts the more and more you pay attention to them, and it doesn’t always pertain to bad vibes of course. And this is so helpful when first getting to know people because it gives you a leg up and a read on their energy. At least their initial energy. Kind of like setting a bar so you have a marker to go off of.
