How to handle any discomfort in 30 seconds

Think about all your problems in life - almost all are due to the fear of discomfort - moving away from your comfort zone. Am I right! 

Eating vegetables for many people, for example, brings discomfort. So does sitting in meditation, or or saying No to people, or even exercising. (Of course, different people are uncomfortable with different things, but you get the idea.)

And most people don’t like discomfort. They run from it. 

So, How to become good with our discomfort?

Sit for 30 seconds in discomfort. If you’re averse to vegetables, try one green veggie today. Put it in your mouth, leave it there for 30 seconds. Don’t swallow. Keep chewing. Stay with the discomfort for 30 seconds. You probably won’t like it much, but that’s OK.

Practice being with your discomfort for 30 seconds and not more than that. Seek out for other discomforts and live that for just 30 seconds.

Magic happens once you learn to live for 30 seconds.

Just for Today

How to respond peacefully in 2015

 
1. Pause - When you notice yourself getting offended, frustrated, angry, irritated, disappointed … pause. Take few deep breaths.

2. Don’t act -Acting in anger is injurious to your own health. Procrastinate it.

3. Examine - the idea you have about how they should act. You are holding onto this idea, and it is in conflict with reality. Do not hold onto such fantasies, learn to let go of them. 

4. No Expectation -Throw your expectations into the ocean. Do not expect anything.

5. Smile - Accept the person in front of you, and yourself, as a flawed human.

6. Act with compassion - When you stop blaming the person for not acting perfectly, you can then respond appropriately, and with compassion. Accepting reality doesn’t mean you don’t take action — it just means you let go of the frustration. Instead, you can act appropriately, and be more cantered in your actions.

Stop reacting to people or situations; Start responding!

Are you ready to increase your happiness by 25% today?

 

I am going to share a simple idea to boost your happiness.

As your life proceeds today, you may encounter many people, situations or events which may be pleasant or unpleasant.

You may not like the quality of roads and complain about it.

You may not like the behavior exhibited by your friends, colleague or a stranger and feel upset over it.

You may not like the opinion or idea by your spouse and end up in an emotional fight.

You may not like this and that and that and this....this list can go on and on...

You have two choices at any point in time. You can either look for complains or look for good things in any situation.

Today, just for today, train your mind to look only for good things in any situation. When you find one, start appreciating the person or the situation for showing you this opportunity.

Appreciate everyone you meet, anything that uplifts you. Thank more people today. Let today be your best Appreciation Day. You become a great Giver of Thank you's today!

The more your appreciate, you will find yourself more happier. Research shows that people who appreciate and express gratitude towards other people or events are 25% more happier than others.

Remember, more happiness attracts more good people & more success in life.

Thank you for reading this article. You are Awesome!

Happiness is not an escape plan

Happy people face lot of unhappiness in life.

Happy people also face lot of problems & obstacles in life.

Happy people also go through their financial crisis.

Happiness does not depend on how many bad things happen to an individual.

What is more important is whether an individual tends to make negative conclusions about him- or herself when negative events occur.

One research study shows that Individuals who think of themselves as the cause of negative events are 43 percent less likely to be satisfied than individuals who do not.

Happiness is a choice and happy people always look out for the goodness in each situation or problem.

Today, whatever happens, look out for goodness in life. Watch this video & try the simple exercise suggested in this video.

Mental Excursion - Where did you go few minutes before?

Alan Cohen says “Imagine two lawyers in a courtroom inside your head. 

One is arguing for your possibilities and you achieving your goals. The other is arguing for your limits and why you don’t deserve what you want. Who will win? The lawyer whom you pay the most. The way you pay these lawyers, however, is not with money; it is with your attention”. 

Where your attention goes, your mind & energy flows there.

Your mind plays a major role in holding your current attention.

But your mind is always on an excursion mode.

Mind keeps travelling between your past, future or to the fantasy world. Hence, your attention keeps wandering.

Let’s test it now...Ask yourself what were you thinking few mins before - I am for sure your mind was thinking about any one issue/situation in any one of the three realms(past, future or fantasy).

Training your mind to be in the present moment is the key for perennial source of happiness & health. 

It’s like riding your bicycle. By continuous microscopic adjustment of the cycle bar to the left or right, we travel straight in a cycle. Your mind will keep jumping, but it is your responsibility to tie to the present moment awareness. 

The simple way to bring to the present moment is to bring your awareness to the tip of your nose, feel the air going in and coming out. 

Can you take one nice deep mindful breath now? 

It’s FREE as of now!
