Personal health and well being should be a priority in everybody's life. The truth is if you feel good from inside, you'll be able to share healthy energies with the outside world. That takes an extra effort. It means you not only have to work extra hard on your inner world but also how you react to the environment outside of you.
There are a lot of exercises that you can do to get a hold on yourself, ground yourself and find peace and equilibrium(balance).
I'd love to share a short list - starting with
1.Take Conscious deep breaths - Breathing is therapeutic. Believe it or not, it actually helps relax your body, cooling it down, giving you extra time to think. This is the best exercise so far, as it slows down the speed of thoughts racing in your mind.
2.Smile a lot - When I meet new people, I always make sure I greet them with a smiling face and a warm handshake. It makes the other person feel comfortable and appreciated. We all like to hang out with happy people...
3.Appreciate, be genuine - There is a huge difference in appreciating someone and genuinely appreciating someone. Feel it to express it else it looks fake. Appreciate everything around you...its a great feeling, when you know you are blessed and make other's feel the same way too.
4.Don't reason everything that happens in your life - What can I say about this one. Really, we think everything is in our control, and we are the masters of our destiny but there are big time detours that take place...so gracefully accept it and move on!!
5.Be laid back and let things come to you - If you are constantly wanting something to happen your way and you have worked really hard so that it happens...But if it was not meant to be......it wont happen. Your wish wont come true. And you'll end up frustrated, blaming your destiny and finally believing, how unlucky you are. So, being laid back, I mean....if you have put in months and years of hard work......take some time off!!
6.Think with the heart - Emotions and feelings can't ever help us make right decisions ever. Sometimes, tough decisions have to be made based upon facts. But its always good to think with the heart.
7.Open your arms instead of folding them against your chest - In Body language, when you fold your arms - you are actually protecting yourself, being insecure and uncertain. If you want to live life king size - you got to be bold, daring and unafraid and adventurous.
8.DWI - I just made that acronym up. Ok, well...it means Deal with it. A lot of times, we postpone the most important task of sorting out our emotions.....time will not, you have to.....the sooner you learn, the better!! I'd just say quit postponing and get to work!!
Lastly,
9.Meditate - Spend some quiet time with yourself to see things in the right perspective!
