In a society offering increasingly more opportunities for movement – new activities and sports, travel and transport, technologies, etc. – quality time around the dinner table can sometimes fall low on one’s list of priorities.
...But it shouldn’t!
Sometimes, we need to step back and take a breather. There's nothing more unhealthy than forgetting you're alive. How could people forget they're alive, you ask?
When it comes to being happy, we are perhaps the universe’s biggest procrastinators. So let’s not waste another moment, and be happy now…
We keep telling ourselves that we’ll be happy when we achieve this or that. When we get married or have a career, when we become parents or move into that dream house, or when we get away from a bad relationship, and so on and so forth… Noble dreams, yes, but to be happy, you just have to make yourself happy now.
Many people fear change -- not because of the change itself but because they always assume it will take a lot of time, patience, and sacrifice to make a difference in their lives. However, this is not always the case – there are plenty of small activities you can implement into your daily routine and watch your life get better. What’s even better – none of these takes up more than 5 minutes of your day.
When we desire to make new changes in our life, our body is usually the first to be examined. During this process, we can be harsh, judgmental, and critical to our own life-shells. Our thoughts are powerful, and our bodies listen and react to these thoughts. Rather than hating on our bodies, we should be trying to show them love through taking the necessary steps needed to make and keep them healthy. We can start making these positive, healthy changes by honoring our bodies, and focusing on what our bodies do right, rather than what’s wrong with them.
Metaphysical energies are not thought constructs. They really exist, and are observable and controllable.
The problem is that they are not objectively visible, and also mostly immeasurable. They are visible only in the effects - if certain energies work through us, we adjust our environment accordingly.
Metaphysical and mystical energies are felt - not through our emotions, but through a subtle perception, to which all are capable.
We are proud of the things we have achieved. Pride in our profession, our performance, our awards. In our country, our city.
If our pride is so great, then why are there always people who try to convince us that their achievements are better? And why do we have to defend and justify our own?
Looking at the Map of Consciousness, we see that pride is still calibrated in negative territory. This means that it is a contracting energy with a tendency to slip further into negative territory. Why?
If someone did you good, show your gratitude by paying it forward…
“Do not set your eyes on things far off.” – Pythian Odes
Several people lately have asked me some iteration of “What are the gifts where you are?” so I’ve been spending some time reflecting on this question
The key here is self-love. Honoring your own individuality.
It’s about owning your self. Embracing what makes you you. Loving EVERYTHING about yourself, and all that is unique about you.
