IMPORTANT AND PRICELESS LESSONS YOU ONLY LEARN WITH WISDOM AND MATURITY

People often talk about wisdom gained from life experience

Navigating the path to wisdom and maturity can often feel like a journey through a labyrinth, filled with twists and turns

It’s an expedition marked by trials that test your resilience, experiences that expand your understanding, and moments that mold your character.

There is no shortcut to gaining wisdom and maturity.

They only come with time, patience, and the willingness to learn from life’s lessons.

Here are nine vital life lessons that you will learn along the path to wisdom and maturity.

1.  Embrace failure as a teacher

One of the profound life lessons that wisdom and maturity bestow upon us is the understanding that failure is not a dead-end, but a stepping stone to success.

In our youth, we often fear failure, viewing it as a sign of inadequacy or a reflection of our shortcomings.

We strive for perfection and when we inevitably fall short, we may become disillusioned or disheartened.

But as we mature and gain wisdom, we start to see that failure is an integral part of life’s learning process

The key is to embrace these failures, learn from them, and use them as stepping stones towards success

2.   Authenticity is liberating

Navigating through life, I’ve learned that there’s a certain freedom that comes with being authentic.

Embracing authenticity has been a liberating journey.

It’s about releasing the need for external validation and learning to trust in my own judgment.

After all, we are all unique individuals with our own strengths, passions, and perspectives.

When we embrace our authenticity, we honor this uniqueness and enable ourselves to contribute our unique gifts to the world

3.  Vulnerability is strength

Going deeper into the journey of authenticity, I’ve discovered that vulnerability is not a weakness but a strength

But as we mature and gain wisdom, we learn that vulnerability is not about weakness; it’s about courage the courage to show up and be seen, to share our true selves with the world, warts and all

Being vulnerable means allowing ourselves to be seen in our most authentic form to share our fears, doubts, and insecurities, as well as our hopes, dreams, and passions

4.   Detachment can foster deeper connections

This isn’t about distancing yourself from others or becoming indifferent

Rather, it’s about understanding the fluid nature of life and relationships and We try to control outcomes, resist change, and create permanence in a world that is inherently transient

As we mature and gain wisdom, however, we begin to understand the value of detachment

We learn to let go of our need for control and start embracing the uncertainty and impermanence of life

Detachment is about having the courage to accept that everything in life including relationships is temporary and ever-changing

5.  Personal growth is a lifelong journey

Just when we think we’ve reached a certain level of maturity or wisdom, life throws us a new challenge that forces us to grow, adapt, and evolve even further

The pursuit of personal growth is not about reaching a destination; it’s about embracing the journey.

It’s about continually striving to become the best version of ourselves, learning new skills, challenging our beliefs, and pushing our boundaries.

The beauty of personal growth lies in its endless possibilities.

We can always learn something new, improve in some way, or gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

6.  Success isn’t always linear

Life has taught me a somewhat unexpected lesson: success isn’t always a straight line.

We often envision our journey towards our goals as a direct route, where we steadily progress from point A to point B.

But in reality, it rarely works out that way.

The path to success is much more like a winding road, full of twists and turns, detours and roadblocks

So, when your path towards success doesn’t seem straightforward, don’t despair.

Remember that it’s the twists and turns that make the journey interesting, the ups and downs that make the destination worthwhile.

Keep moving forward, even if it’s not in a straight line.

7.  Self-compassion is essential for growth

One of the crucial lessons I’ve learned over the years is the importance of self-compassion.

We often tend to be our own harshest critics, beating ourselves up over our mistakes and perceived inadequacies.

We hold ourselves to impossibly high standards and feel disappointed when we don’t meet them.

It’s about acknowledging our imperfections and understanding that everyone struggles and has flaws.

Cultivating self-compassion has been transformative for us.

It has helped me to be more resilient in the face of failure, more patient with my progress, and more forgiving of my mistakes.

8.  Change is the only constant

Another priceless life lesson that wisdom and maturity have taught me is that change is the only constant in life

This may seem like a cliche, but it’s a reality that we often struggle to accept.

We humans are creatures of habit.

We find comfort in familiarity and predictability.

Embracing change doesn’t mean not feeling sad or overwhelmed when things change.

It means accepting these feelings as natural and allowing them to be there without letting them paralyze us.

It means learning to adapt and finding ways to thrive in new circumstances.

9.  The power of now and here 

The final, yet priceless, lesson I’ve learned with age is the power of living in the now and here

Living in the now means fully engaging with the present moment whether it’s appreciating a beautiful sunset, enjoying a meal, or simply breathing.

This shift in mindset has brought us profound peace and satisfaction.

It has made me more resilient, more appreciative of life’s simple pleasures, and more present in my relationships.

It’s a continuous practice, but one that has enriched my life immeasurably.

Be now and Be here 

Be yourself and Be happiness 

IF YOU WANT TO START ATTRACTING THE RIGHT PEOPLE IN LIFE THEN DON'T DO THESE BEHAVIORS

The problem is, not all relationships serve our highest good. Sometimes, we could be attracting the wrong kind of people into our lives

Making conscious changes in our actions can shift the dynamics of our relationships and attract those who resonate with our true self. Letting go of certain behaviors is part of this transformative process

In this article, we will explore nine behaviors to let go of if you want to start attracting the right people into your life

1.  Living inauthentically

Embracing authenticity is key to attracting the right people into your life. This requires a commitment to living in alignment with your true self.

However, many of us fall into the trap of living inauthentically, often due to a desire to conform to societal expectations.

The individuals you attract in this state are drawn to a version of you that isn’t truly you. They connect with the facade you’ve put up, not with your authentic self.

When you choose to live authentically, you send out a signal that attracts people who appreciate and resonate with your true self.

2.  Holding onto past resentments

As a life-long learner, I’ve come to realize the immense weight that past resentments can place on our present lives

Resentment is like a wall we build around ourselves, believing it will protect us from future harm.

But in reality, it only isolates us and blocks our growth. It can make us suspicious, closed off and unapproachable. This energy invariably repels the right people we might want in our lives.

Letting go of resentment doesn’t mean ignoring the hurt or denying the wrong. It’s about acknowledging it, learning from it, and then choosing to move forward without letting it control our present.

3.  Clinging to the illusion of happiness

The pursuit of happiness is a common theme in our society. We’re constantly bombarded with messages that tell us we should be happy, and if we’re not, there’s something wrong with us

This belief can lead us into a happiness trap, where we’re constantly chasing an elusive state of bliss and inadvertently repelling people who could potentially add real value to our lives

Truth is, life is a spectrum of emotions. By trying to avoid discomfort or hardship and only seeking out happiness, we limit our ability to grow and attract authentic relationships

4.  Ignoring personal responsibility

One of the most challenging yet transformative behaviors to let go of is the tendency to ignore personal responsibility

It’s easy to fall into the trap of blaming external circumstances or other people for our problems. We often feel like victims, with life happening to us rather than for us

However, this mindset breeds powerlessness and resentment, both of which can push away the right people from our lives. They sense our lack of ownership and find it difficult to connect on a deeper level

True empowerment comes from taking full responsibility for our lives. This doesn’t mean we control everything that happens to us

Instead, it’s about focusing on what we can control our attitudes, actions, and responses. When we own our decisions and their outcomes, we become more resilient and authentic

5.  Allowing fear to dictate decisions

Fear is a powerful emotion that can hold us captive, preventing us from living our lives authentically.

It can make us settle for less than we deserve, keep us stuck in unhealthy relationships, or stop us from pursuing our true passions.

The fear of rejection, failure, or judgment can influence our decisions and behaviors, often leading us to attract the wrong types of people.

First those who are also led by fear, insecurity, or negativity

And second those who prey on the fearful. 

6.  Chasing perfection

Perfectionism is often seen as an admirable trait. It’s associated with high standards, attention to detail, and relentless drive.

The pursuit of perfection can lead to an exhausting cycle of never feeling good enough and constantly striving for more. It can make us judgmental of ourselves and others, creating barriers to authentic connection.

The truth is, there’s no such thing as perfect. We are all beautifully flawed individuals with our strengths and weaknesses. It’s these imperfections that make us human, that make us unique, and that allow us to connect with others on a deeper level.

As we release the need for perfection, we create space for growth, creativity, and meaningful connections. We attract those who value authenticity over perfection and who celebrate the beauty of imperfection

7.  Overvaluing material wealth

In a society that often equates success with wealth, it’s easy to fall into the trap of overvaluing material possessions.

We may believe that the more we have, the more successful we are, and hence, the more attractive we become to others. But that’s not necessarily true

When our focus is primarily on accumulating wealth, we may overlook the importance of shared values, personal growth, and authentic relationships. The people we attract may be more interested in our financial status than in who we are as individuals.

Prosperity is about more than just financial wealth. It’s about aligning our financial decisions with our deepest values and using money as a tool for positive change.

When we shift our perspective on prosperity, we begin to attract people who resonate with our values and purpose in life. People who don’t really look at how well-off or wealthy you are. People who value substance over surface, and character over wealth

8.  Neglecting self-care

Self-care is often misunderstood and overlooked in our busy lives. We may believe it’s selfish or indulgent to prioritize our needs.

Yet neglecting self-care can lead us to become exhausted, stressed, or resentful, which can repel the right people from our lives

Practicing self-care, first and foremost, is an act of self-respect. It communicates to others that we value ourselves and that we understand the importance of balance and wellness in life

That’s instantly attractive to those who also value their well-being and appreciate the importance of balance in life. These are the individuals who can support us, grow with us, and contribute positively

9.  Staying within your comfort zone

It’s no secret that the comfort zone is a place where growth is limited. And if you never venture out of it, the only people you’ll attract are the ones who don’t really push themselves.

 The right people the ones who love learning new things and are committed to personal growth will get the message that you’re not open to new ideas or experiences, and move on.

Stepping outside of your comfort zone might be scary at first. But remember, every step you take is an opportunity for growth and for attracting the right people into your life

Be now and Be here 

Be aware and Be happiness 

People who are good to your face but mean behind your back mostly display these subtle behaviors

 

1.  Shows Inconsistent behavior

These individuals often display a different personality when you’re around compared to when you’re not

You might notice they’re incredibly sweet and friendly to your face, always offering compliments or assistance. However, they could be the first ones to criticize or belittle you behind your back

Also in Sometimes, they might drop subtle hints about their true feelings in your presence. For example, they may sarcastically compliment you or make passive-aggressive remarks that leave you feeling uncomfortable

2. They Excessive flattery

They might compliment your every move, decision, or idea, making you feel important and valued in their presence

Anyway however, this excessive flattery can be a tactic to manipulate your perception of them. Behind your back, they could be spreading negativities or undermining your achievements

3.  They Overly competitive

You may notice that individuals who are nice to your face but mean behind your back are often extremely competitive, even in situations that don’t call for it

It might seem strange, as they may be the first to congratulate you on your successes. They’ll appear genuinely happy for you, always cheering you on

However, their competitive nature isn’t about winning games or being the best at work. Instead, it’s about being better than you specifically. In their minds, your success is their failure

4.  Lack of empathy

People who are nice to your face but mean behind your back often lack genuine empathy, and it’s one of the most painful truths to accept

They might seem caring and attentive when you’re together, always ready with a sympathetic ear or comforting words. But their empathy is surface-level, only extended when it benefits them or when others are watching

Behind your back, they might dismiss your feelings or experiences. Your struggles may become the topic of their gossip, or they might downplay your emotions, making them seem trivial or unimportant

5.  Like for gossip

They might always appear eager to share the latest news or drama with you, making it seem like they’re just trying to keep you in the loop. But if they’re always in the middle of every story, it could be a sign that they enjoy spreading information, true or not

Behind your back, they might be the first ones to share your secrets or spread rumors about you. It’s this love for gossip that gives them an avenue to be mean when you’re not around while maintaining a friendly facade when you are

6.  Difficulty in sharing success

This isn’t because they are inherently bad people, but it may come from their own feelings of insecurity or inadequacy

They might be the first to congratulate you, smiling and celebrating with you. However, behind your back, they may struggle with feelings of jealousy or resentment

These feelings can cause them to downplay your achievements or spread negative comments. It’s important to remember that this behavior is more about them and their internal struggles than it is about you

7.  Avoidance of their responsibility

People who are nice to your face but mean behind your back have a knack for avoiding responsibility, and frankly, it’s something that shouldn’t be tolerated

They may be quick to promise you the world when you’re together, only to conveniently forget or backpedal when it’s time to fulfill those promises. They might even twist the narrative to make it seem like you misunderstood their intentions

8.  They are Master of excuses

Have you ever known someone who always seems to have a perfectly crafted excuse for every situation? 

They might always have a reason for not being able to meet your expectations or fulfill their commitments to you. Their excuses can range from the believable (a sudden cold) to the downright absurd

While it can be frustrating, it’s also somewhat amusing. After all, you’ve got to give them credit for their creativity

9.  Trust your intuition 

The most important thing to remember when dealing with people who are nice to your face but mean behind your back is: to trust your gut or inner self

Your intuition is a powerful tool and often picks up on subtle cues that your conscious mind might miss. If something feels off or you feel uneasy around someone, chances are, there’s a reason for it

SEARCH FOR EXISTENCE AND RIGHT VISION

 

See your breath. See your mind. See your body. See the life-force in you. See your aura. I am sure you would like to know if your breath is your soul. Perhaps you would also like to know if your body is your soul. You may very well ask if your mind or the aura which surrounds your body and which is generated by your body or the vital force in you is your soul. If you thought over these questions a bit seriously, you will come to the conclusion that your breath, your body, your mind, the aura emanating from your body and the vital force

in it are your soul. If the vital force in the body were not the soul, we will not be able to distinguish between anything. If the living body were not the soul, we shall not be able to distinguish it from dead body. If the mind were not the soul, there will be no difference between thinking and non-thinking beings. Every one of these is, therefore, the soul.

We cannot understand the body correctly if we did not feel and understand breath. We cannot understand the mind without understanding the body. We cannot perceive the aura around the body without understanding the body.

We cannot understand the vital force until we have seen and known the aura. We cannot come across the conscious substance which is the end of our journey until we have known and understood the vital force. This is the span of our journey. We will have to traverse the entire course in the very order given above in order to arrive at the stage of self-realization, at that which is the subtlest, ie., at our Existence.

Breath is the first window through which you can perceive the soul. It is by passing through this window that the journey towards the self begins. It is a journey within.

It is a journey towards self-perception. Normally we are accustomed to looking outwards only. It is the nature of the mind to run towards the external world only. Breath is the first door you have to enter into before the journey within begins. When the mind begins to follow the in-going breath, we begin to enter into our being. Breath is the soul. The body is the soul. The mind is the soul. We can reach the fag end of our journey through them only.

It is a delusion to desire to see the soul directly. The soul which is the supreme reality, the supreme existence and the subtlest entity cannot be an object of perception by the gross sense-organs. To say so will be a great mistake.

To say that we should try to see the soul through the soul means, firstly, that we should first engage the mind in perceiving the vibrations of breath. Secondly, it means engaging the mind in perceiving the vibrations of the body and sensations. Thirdly, it means watching one's own thought-processes. Once you have gone through these three stages, you will encounter the aura around the body and get a chance to perceive it.

IMPORTANT SIGNS YOU CAN BE EMOTIONALLY DRAINING TO BE AROUND ACCORDINGLY TO PSYCHOLOGY

1.  Constant negativity

We all have our bad days. But are you frequently the bearer of negative news? Psychology suggests that constant negativity can be emotionally draining forothers

It’s one thing to share your problems or concerns with friends, but it’s another to always see the glass as half empty

If you’re always complaining or focusing on the worst-case scenarios, it can start to weigh heavily on those around you

Being around constant negativity can make others feel drained, stressed, or even depressed. It can create a toxic environment that people might want to avoid

2.  The inability to listen

Have you ever found yourself dominating a conversation? I know I have. It’s easy to get carried away when you’re passionate or excited about something

Communication is a two-way street, and it’s crucial to give others the space to express themselves too

Listening is as important as speaking. If you’re always the one talking, it can make others feel unheard and undervalued, which can be incredibly draining emotionally

3.  Being overly criticism

Criticism is a part of life. It can help us grow and improve. But when it becomes excessive or unwarranted, it can be emotionally draining for the people around us

People who often criticize others are usually more stressed and anxious themselves. This stress and anxiety can then spill over into their relationships, making it difficult for others to be around them

So if you find yourself constantly picking holes in others’ actions or decisions, it might be worthwhile to step back and ask why. The problem could be more about you than them

4.  Always needing to be the center of attention

It’s natural to want to feel seen and heard. But when this desire turns into a constant need for attention, it can become emotionally draining for others

If you find yourself always trying to steer the conversation back to yourself or your experiences, or if you’re always seeking validation and assurance from others, it might be an indication that you’re emotionally draining.

Being the center of attention can make others feel like their feelings and experiences are being overshadowed

It’s important to remember that everyone deserves a chance to shine, not just you

By giving others the spotlight sometimes, you can foster healthier and more balanced relationships

5.  Lack of emotional self-regulation

It’s okay to express your emotions. In fact, it’s healthy. However, when emotional outbursts become a frequent occurrence, it can start to wear on the people around you

This lack of emotional self-regulation can lead to unstable and draining relationships

It’s important to remember that everyone has their emotional ups and downs.

But managing these in a healthy way is key to being less emotionally draining to be around. Developing coping strategies and seeking help when needed can make a big difference.

6.  Lack of empathy

Empathy the ability to understand and share the feelings of others is a fundamental aspect of human interaction. Without it, our connections with others can feel one-sided and shallow

If you find it hard to put yourself in someone else’s shoes or fail to acknowledge other people’s feelings, it can be emotionally draining for them. They may feel unheard, unappreciated, or even invisible 

It’s so important to recognize that everyone we interact with is going through their own unique journey

Taking the time to truly understand and empathize with their experiences can make a world of difference

It can turn draining relationships into supportive and rewarding ones

7.  Inability to respect boundaries

Boundaries are crucial in any relationship. They help define what is acceptable behavior and what isn’t

But, if you’re like me, you might have struggled with respecting these boundaries at times

8.  Being overly dependent

We all need support from time to time. But when you’re overly reliant on others for emotional support, decision-making, or even for your happiness, it can become emotionally draining for them

If you find yourself always looking to others before making decisions or constantly seeking their validation and reassurance, it might be time to take a step back

Developing self-reliance and confidence in your own judgement can not only make you less draining to be around but also enable you to have healthier, more balanced relationships

9.  Lack of self-awareness

Self-awareness is the cornerstone of emotional intelligence. Without it, it’s hard to understand how our actions and behaviors affect those around us

If you’re often oblivious to how you come across to others or dismissive of their perceptions, it can be emotionally draining for them

Developing self-awareness helps us understand our strengths and weaknesses, our triggers, and how we impact others

SEARCH FOR EXISTENCE AND RIGHT VISION

 

We have begun a pilgrimage today. We have also chosen a path for it. Every one walks on some path or the other. We too have been doing so. Every path is paved with footprints, but ours is a path which has no footprints. Footprints on a path suggest that someone has already walked on it and we are tempted to follow the footprints. The absence of footprints on our path means that we are not going to follow anybody. Ours is a path without footprints, and, therefore, there is no question of our following anybody.

Thoughts leave their traces on the mind. Actions which we had done in the past have also left their traces on our minds which assume the form of habits or predilections. Words which we speak or hear also do the same. Thoughts, actions and words disappear but the traces they leave on our minds remain active.

There is no possibility of our following or imitating any-body because we have chosen a path which has no footprints.

Those who walk on other paths get attached to their own way of life, and, therefore, leave their traces and footprints behind them and others of the same nature imitate and follow them.

Their lives are lives of indulgence. On the other hand, those who walk on this path which we have chosen for ourselves are aspirants who have given up all kinds of attachments, and, therefore, have not and will not leave any traces or footprints behind for others to imitate. The pilgrim on this path will have to rely on his own resources and exertion. A path on which there arc no footprints is the best path because it is free from all the traces of the past which might divert the attention of the pilgrim.

Our only aim in walking on this path is to gain insight. Therefore, let us see; let us look within. Let the soul see itselt.

This may appear to be something queer. What is the soul which perceives itself? Who is the seer and what does he perceive? It is a perplexing question. The amwer is that when the soul becomes divided, one part of it becomes the seer and the other part the object of perception.

PEOPLE WHO INCREASINGLY VALUE SOLITUDE AND ALONE TIME AS THEY GET OLDER USUALLY POSSESS THESE QUALITIES

 

As we mature and navigate the complexities of life, it’s common to find ourselves gravitating towards solitude. Often, this isn’t due to a disinterest in others, but rather a deeper understanding of the value of our own company

Solitude can bring clarity, peace, and a certain kind of self-sufficiency that only comes from spending quality time with oneself

1.  They appreciate silence

As we grow older, the hustle and bustle of life can often become overwhelming

Silence provides a haven from the constant noise of the outside world. It’s a space where one can listen to their own thoughts, reflect on their experiences, and gain a deeper understanding of themselves

You might notice that these individuals often prefer quiet environments or solitary activities like reading, painting, or simply sitting in nature. They may turn down social gatherings or parties not because they don’t enjoy company but because they appreciate the calmness of their own space

2.  They cherish simple pleasures

The joy of a hot cup of coffee in the morning, the serenity of a quiet walk in the park, or the peace of a good book on a rainy afternoon – those who value solitude often find great pleasure in life’s simple moments.

They don’t need grand parties or extravagant trips to feel content. Instead, they find happiness in the everyday, mundane moments that many might overlook.

It’s not that they don’t appreciate big events or exciting adventures. They do. But they’ve also learned to appreciate the beauty in simplicity and understand that joy can be found in the smallest of things.

3.  They enjoy social interactions

They value deep, meaningful conversations and authentic connections withothers

They are not shy or reserved, but rather selective about who they spend their time with. They prefer quality over quantity when it comes to relationships and social gatherings

Journal of Social and Personal Relationships indicates that people who engage in deeper, more meaningful conversations are generally happier and more fulfilled

Their alone time allows them to recharge and reflect, making them more present and engaged during their interactions with others

4.  They are understanding

They recognize that everyone has their own needs when it comes to alone time and social interactions

They’re not the type to pressure friends into outings when they’d rather stay in, or to judge someone for needing a little extra time to themselves. They understand because they’ve been there too

Their experiences with solitude have also helped them develop a deep sense of empathy. They’re often good listeners, patient, and able to offer comfort and support to those around them

5.  They battle loneliness

Let’s be real here. Even those who enjoy their own company have moments where they feel alone and isolated and yearn for companionship

Recognizing and acknowledging these feelings is a significant part of their journey. They understand that it’s okay to feel lonely sometimes and that it’s a natural human emotion

Rather than running away from these feelings or trying to cover them up, they face them head-on. They use their moments of loneliness as opportunities for self-reflection and personal growth

6.  They are self-aware

These individuals are often in tune with their own thoughts, feelings, and behavior. They understand their strengths, their weaknesses, and how they react to certain situations. They’re not afraid to confront their flaws or address their insecurities

Because of their self-awareness, they’re able to make more informed decisions, handle stress better, and maintain a healthier emotional balance. Alone time for them is not just about being physically alone – it’s about taking the time to reflect, understand oneself better, and grow as a person

7.  They have a great sense of humor

They’re not afraid to laugh at their own blunders or find humor in their quirks. They’ve learned to embrace their imperfections and even find amusement in them

Whether it’s chuckling at a funny memory, cracking a pun, or simply laughing at a silly mistake, they know how to lighten the mood and not take themselves too seriously

8.  They face their fears

Let’s cut to the chase. Those who value solitude aren’t immune to fear. In fact, they face it head-on

They don’t shy away from the uncomfortable truths about themselves or their lives. Instead, they allow their alone time to serve as a platform for confronting these fears and insecurities

Are they scared? Absolutely. But they understand that growth often comes from discomfort and facing what scares us most

9.  They understand the value of solitude

Above all else, people who increasingly value solitude as they get older understand its true worth

They recognize that solitude is not about isolation or loneliness, but about creating a space for self-discovery, introspection, and personal growth. It’s a time to recharge, to reflect, and to reconnect with oneself

They see solitude as a gift, a precious commodity in our increasingly connected and noisy world. It’s a time to be with oneself, truly and wholly, without distractions or pretenses

KNOW THE NATURE OF THE MIND

 

Mind is nothing but a collection of Samskaras. It is nothing but a bundle of habits. It is nothing but a collection of desires arising from contact with different objects. It is also a collection of feelings aroused by worldly botherations. It is a collection of ideas gathered from different objects. Now, these desires, ideas and feelings constantly change. Some of the old desires and feelings are constantly departing from their storehouse, the mind, and new ones are replacing them.

This constant change does not in any way interfere with the harmony of mental operations.

Only some of the old desires, ideas and feelings depart. Those that remain work in healthy co-operation and concord with the new arrivals. The new arrivals are strongly magnetised by the old ones. They both work in harmony and this harmony sustains the identity of the mental existence.

Mind is not only made daily, but always made. Every minute, it changes its colours and shape like a chameleon. It is very Chanchala (wavering) and Asthira (unsteady)

Mind is constantly changing. You are gaining new experiences daily. Your beliefs and conscience of 1925 and the faculty which judges right from wrong will change in 1955. The mind evolves through experience. The world is the best teacher or Guru

According to the state of his knowledge, man’s conscience is built up and changes from time to time with the correction of his views, in the light of further knowledge gained subsequently.

Conscience is one’s own convictions arrived at either instinctively or by reasoning. The conscience of a child or a savage is entirely different from the conscience of a fully grown civilised man and, even amongst civilised men, knowledge varies so much that their consciences direct different lines of conduct. The conscience of a Sattvic man considerably differs from that of a Rajasic man. The conscience of a Sattvic man is very, very clean and pure.

KNOW THE ABHAYA HRDAYA MUDRA AND IT’S IMPORTANCE Mudra

Abbhaya Hrdaya Mudra

Abhaya Hrdaya Mudra is a joint-hand gesture (samyukta hasta) used in the yoga tradition as a powerful energy conductor and mind seal.

It is a lesser-known Tantric gesture that, according to oral tradition, was traditionally kept secret among initiates. The mudra is known for its unique ability to rejuvenate one’s vital force and reduce fragmented thoughts and scattered energy.

This gesture is known to improve energies in and around the heart. By doing so, it revitalizes the heart and its energy. Practicing this Mudra activates the Anahata Chakra that represents the heart. This Mudra increases the Oxygen flow to the heart, hence improving the heart’s functioning. As we all know, our heart communicates with the lungs to supply oxygen to our entire body. Hence, if there’s a good amount of oxygen supply in our heart, our arteries will carry more oxygen throughout, which will help to promote our health. Practicing this Mudra can help overcome common problems such as fear and anxiety, which is why it is called “Abhaya Hridaya Mudra.”

Technique  - Raise the hands in front of the chest, palms facing center. Cross the wrists with the backs of the hands touching, right hand closest to your body, palms facing to the sides. Firmly interlock the index, middle, and little fingers, while connecting the tips of the thumb and ring finger on both hands, forming two rings.

Application-  In a seated meditation posture, hold the mudra firmly to your chest and pull down gently rooting it into the base of your sternum. Breathe naturally and hold for 5 to 45 minutes or as per your convenience 

Benefits -  Nourishes the heart and lungs, improves digestion, imparts a powerful sense of vitality and calm, can help reduce nightmares and reestablish basic sanity to a troubled mind. Use of this mudra is especially helpful during times of exhaustion, healing from debilitating illness, or regaining strength after surgery.

Energetically, it allows heat to descend from the head through the chest down into the belly, thus regulating the healthy function of all the internal organs.

Abhaya Hridaya Mudra Precautions and Contraindications

As like other Mudra practices, it has no side effects.

However, there are a few things to consider:

Have patients if you want to achieve a good result.

Your fingers should be comfortable, do not put any excessive pressure.

Keep your spine comfortably erect and keep spinal health in mind.

KNOW THE YOGA MUDRAS AND DOSHAS

In order to better understand how mudras affect your body and mind, it is helpful

to have a basic knowledge of the three Ayurvedic constitutions, or types of

physical and mental make-up, known as the doshas. These are made up of three

energetic types: vata, pitta and kapha, and Ayurveda places great emphasis on

keeping them in balance.

Many factors, both internal and external, disturb the balance of one or more

of the doshas, including emotional and physical stress, not eating for your body

type, the seasons and the weather, physical trauma, and problems with work,

family and relationships. Mudras gently but powerfully counteract negative

influences that cause these energies to fall out of balance and play an important

part in maintaining a healthy balance of the three doshas within your body, mind

and consciousness.

Vata: air and ether elements; cold and dry; this is the energy of movement

Pitta: fire element; hot, dry qualities; this is the energy of digestion, assimilation

and metabolism

Kapha: earth and water elements; cold, wet qualities; this is the energy forming

the body’s structure

THE THREE ENERGIES IN BALANCE

For optimal physical and emotional health, you need a balance within your body of the three energies – vata

(air and ether), pitta (fire) and kapha (earth and water)

VATA

This is the energy of movement; it is made up of air (matter in gaseous form)

and ether (space). It is constantly moving, expansive in nature, easily changeable, irregular and cold. When vata is excessive, your body tends to suffer

from dryness, roughness, stiffness, joint pain, and brittle bones and teeth. You

may have trouble focusing or committing to anything. Joint problems and

symptoms relating to the nervous system are said to indicate an imbalance of

vata

Mudras can offer relief from symptoms in body or mind, particularly those

involving the index and middle fingers. If you have a vata imbalance it’s more

effective to practise mudras while sitting or standing still rather than while

engaged in other activities

PITTA

The energy of digestion, assimilation and metabolism is known as pitta. It is

mainly composed of the fire element and is hot and dry. Pitta generates heat in

your body and regulates your temperature. When pitta is excessive, you may tend to get angry, suffer from high blood pressure, or burning sensations, sweat too much and crave spicy food. You may develop eczema, irritability, blotchy red skin, rashes and hives.

Pitta and the fire element relate to your thumb. Most mudras involve the

thumbs, so other factors often become important when you use mudras to treat

pitta imbalances, such as the way your thumb presses the other fingers or palm.

KAPHA

The basic energy that forms your body’s structure, kapha provides the

foundation for the other doshas. Kapha is made up of the water and earth

elements and is cold and moist and white in nature. It is stable and tends to move

very little.

When kapha is excessive, you may feel stuck in life, crave too many

sweets, feel heavy, and suffer from swelling and congestion. Accompanying

physical symptoms may include depression, lethargy, passivity, weight gain, asthma, water retention and congestion

Mudras can be very helpful for kapha imbalances, particularly those

involving the ring and little fingers. Practise them alongside some gentle

movement, such as yoga postures or walking

KNOW WHY RELAX IS IMPORTANT

Science is considered to be something that is researched, tangible and therefore generally trusted.

True relaxation is a science, experienced and described by many ancient and modern-day yogis, saints and sages. It is not just about being able to rest (that is something you do when you sleep), nor is it sitting in front of the television with a stiff drink after a hard day’s work. We associate meditation with relaxation, but there are also other practices that can assist in relaxing the mind and nervous system. Deep relaxation involves the interaction and engagement of body and mind. It frees you from troublesome and fragmented thoughts, memories and emotions so your mind is clear and alert, whole and complete. Relaxation can be a complete therapy which, if used regularly, keeps you in optimal health and allows you to rediscover your stillness, your silence within, your true self and your source of creation.

Many of us are overworked, overstretched and overstimulated. The world holds many threats and dangers real and imagined which cause us stress. We are never far from the latest news or the pressures of instant communication, reminders and updates. We are led to believe that we should be constantly setting ourselves goals and chasing exciting new experiences. We become competitive and judgmental, comparing ourselves with others and setting ourselves impossibly high standards. Mass media encourages this trend as people broadcast every event, acquisition, success (and sometimes failure) in their lives in order to attract attention to themselves.

We may fill our spare minutes and hours with recreation, but true relaxation is something we rarely make time for. Some people may even question whether inner peace and quiet are actually worthwhile because, looking from the outside, it appears as if nothing is being achieved. We think we are acting in our children’s best interests by giving them the same busy, activity-filled lives that we ourselves have. We do not allow them the space to become a little bored and explore the world for themselves, and we suffocate their hidden potential by anticipating every need and making them full before they have the chance to be hungry. We overstimulate them and we do the same to ourselves.

We create children in our own image rather than holding the space for them to be individuals.

Relaxation, however, is vitally important on so many levels not only does it benefit your physical, mental and emotional health, but it also reconnects you with the still centre of your being.

This is a place where you can live peacefully and happily. An overly busy mind ends up being ineffective, frustrated and stressed. While it is great to accumulate information, to be brimming with ideas and so on, a silent mind can be your most powerful tool for achieving success in the outside world. Once you have slowed down and discovered this place of stillness, you can realize and accept your areas of strength as well as any shortcomings. Having the courage to be who you are makes it much easier to tap into your creative ability and fulfil your potential.

EFFECTS OF RELAXATION ON THE NERVOUS SYSTEM

The nervous system is the branch of the autonomic nervous system responsible for bringing your body back to a state of equilibrium after it has experienced a stressful situation. Purposeful activation of tthe nervous system through relaxation has a number of benefits for the mind and body, including:

lowering blood pressure

slowing down and deepening breathing, so more oxygen reaches the cells of the body releasing endorphins and serotonin returning to normal bodily functions that have been inhibited by muscle tension (e.g. digestion, elimination of waste and production of white blood cells)

reducing stress

increasing positive emotions

possibly slowing down the physical and psychological ageing processes through the effects of increased prana your life force.

KNOW WHAT IS MANTRA AND IT'S IMPORTANCE

 

A Mantra is a combination of sacred syllables which forms a nucleus of spiritual energy. This serves as a magnet to attract or a lens to focus spiritual vibrations. According to the Upanishads, the ancient scriptures of India, the original abode of the Mantra wasthe Parma Akasha or primeval ether, the eternal and immutable substratum of the universe, out of which, in the uttering of the primal sound Vach, the universe itself was created. 

The Mantras existed within this ether and were directly perceived by the ancient rishis, or seers, who translated them into an audible pattern of words, rhythm, and melody. 

Mantra is not just prayer. Prayer consists of words of supplication chosen by the spiritual aspirant, whereas Mantra is a precise combination of words and sounds the embodiment of a particular form of consciousness or Sakti.

The root man in the word Mantra means in Sanskrit "to think;" tra comes from trai, meaning "to protect or free from the bondage of samsara or the phenomenal world." Therefore Mantra means "the thought that liberates and protects." But there are many levels of meaning in a Mantra which must be experienced to be truly understood. An intellectual explanation encompasses only a very small part of its meaning.

The chanting or recitation of Mantras activates and accelerates the creative spiritual force, promoting harmony in all parts of the human being. The devotee is gradually converted into a living center of spiritual vibration which is attuned to some other center of vibration vastly more powerful. This energy can be appropriated and directed for the benefit of the one who uses it and for that of others

Every Mantra has six aspects: a rishi or seer, a raga or melody, the Devata or presiding deity, a bija or seed sound, the Sakti or power, and a kilaka or pillar.

There is a certain power in a word even on a human level one's own name has a special significance, and the way in which it is pronounced can convey numerous mes- sages. Different tones cause different vibrations affecting the bodily, as well as the emotional, response. The practice of Mantra Yoga for a long period of time makes one aware of sounds actually creating images, and of certain images having an inherent sound.

Sounds are vibration which give rise to definite forms. The repeated chanting of the name of the Lord gradually builds up the form or special manifestation of the deity worshipped (the Devata) and acts as a focus to concentrate this influence, which then penetrates and becomes the center of consciousness of the worshipper.

By constant recollection or thinking of the Mantra one is protected firom the impact of maya, the illusory world. Through repetition of these words of power, the goal of Mantra Yoga is achieved that is (as with all yogas) unity of individual consciousness with Cosmic Consciousness.

UNIQUE PATH TO YOUR AUTHENTIC SELF

 

Try to relax into your authentic self without the pressure of having to be ‘happy’ all the time. Ironically, when this pressure is taken away, we feel more content and fulfilled. We become more aware of our own patterns of behaviour, and the split between our material personality and our spiritual self is healed.

As our world becomes increasingly frenetic, it is ever more important to find inner stillness. Even when we go on a retreat or to a peaceful place, our surroundings may be quiet but we are not necessarily quiet within. My practices are based on embracing the whole self and trying to create a sense of humanity. This happens by accepting and transforming the lower three chakras, concerned with grounding, rootedness, mental and physical constipation, anger, sexuality, self-confidence, greed and lust. Your spirit or soul is already perfect and whole it does not require healing. All it needs is space for you to experience your highest self. You will accomplish this by clearing the physical and emotional pathways to it and ridding yourself of samskaras (the imprints in your personality of unused emotions from experiences

We constantly separate, classify and label everything in life religion, politics, society and so on and this creates conflict. The body, too, is viewed as something separate rather than as part of us.

People who think that meditation happens only in the mental body are running away from their present experience. I believe meditation happens through the body, and that in order for our awareness to shine, we must engage our senses and the body’s present state. The tangible body is a gateway into the non-tangible part of ourselves. Without it we cannot achieve total relaxation.

I grew up in a village in Eastern India, where people lived in a simple, natural way. Most of the villagers owned very little, but there was a strong sense of community. If someone had grown vegetables, they would always give some away. Village life was basic but there was an abundance of love and a sharing of resources. We were surrounded by nature, and the silence and stillness after sunset was profound. Mostly I saw unity in the simplicity of the villagers’ way of life. As time went on, people started toacquire televisions and other appliances, and the atmosphere changed. The village lost its sense of community because desirable objects became the focus of people’s attention rather than the relationships between each other. We can see this happening the world over. The material things, which are there to support us in life, become the primary focus of our life

When you embark on a new journey of yoga and meditation, it is easy to set yourself up to feel guilty if you miss a practice. Just be open to your own feelings and emotions – in other words, do not deny any part of yourself. The experience of finding the centre of yourself, your self-religion, is known as swadharma. From this place I feel centred to share my experiences and help others to heal on any level, whether the discomfort is physical, emotional or spiritual.

Many people have pre-determined and fixed expectations of what it is to live a spiritual life or one that is focused on material concerns. Many spiritual people think material people are shallow, and many material people think that a spiritual person should lead a very simple existence, liberated from earthly concerns, suppressing desires and being miserable

Finding peace at the physical level and not running away from yourself in your mind (which can often happen with still forms of meditation) is key. My practices will help you to find a long-lasting peace within yourself that allows you to be with all your emotions and feelings without the gloss of ‘positive thinking’. In this way you can be your true, authentic self, connected and compassionate with yourself as well as others. Many people have found the effects of the meditation practices

KNOW WHAT ARE THE YOGA MUDRAS

 

According to the Vedic culture of ancient India, our entire world is made of ‘the five elements’ called as The Panch-Maha-Bhuta’s. The five elements being Earth, Water, Fire, Wind and Space/Vacuum. They are also called the earth element, water element, fire element, wind element and space element.

These five elements constitute the human body the nutrients from the soil (earth) are absorbed by the plants which we consume (thus we survive on the earth element), the blood flowing through own veins represents the water element, the body heat represents the fire element, the oxygen we inhale and the carbon dioxide we exhale represents the wind element and the sinuses we have in our nose and skull represent the space element.

As long as these five elements in our body are balanced and maintain appropriate levels we remain healthy. An imbalance of these elements in the human body leads to a deteriorated health and diseases.

Now understand this, the command and control center of all these five elements lies in our fingers. So literally, our health lies at our fingertips.

The Mudra healing method that I am going to tell you depends on our fingers.

To understand this, we should first know the finger-element relationship:

 Thumb – Fire element

Index finger – Wind element

Middle finger – Space/Vacuum element

Third finger – Earth element

Small finger – Water element

When the fingers are brought together in a specific pattern and are touched to each other, or slightly pressed against each other, the formation is called as a ‘Mudra’.

When the five fingers are touched and pressed in a peculiar way to form a Mudra, it affects the levels of the five elements in our body, thus balancing those elements and inducing good health.

THE HISTORY AND IMPORTANCE OF YOGA MUDRAS

 The History and importance of yoga mudra

Our hands are a source of tremendous power. With such profound dexterity, sensitivity, and utility, the human hands may be one of our most defining features as a species. Playing guitar, delivering a baby, knitting a sweater, building a house, wielding a sword, painting intricate figures: through the use of our hands we create and shape the world we live in. 

Hands can heal, hands can harm. One touch can convey a wide array of thoughts, feelings, or intentions. Hands tell the story of our mood or state of mind. When we feel angry, a clenched fist; when anxious, fidgeting fingers. Even plants and animals respond to the subtle nuances of our touch.

With the hands playing such a central role in our experience of being human, it comes as no surprise that many of the world’s great spiritual and artistic traditions have considered the hands as sacred. With five digits, twenty-seven bones, and fifteen joints plus numerous carpal joints affording articulation of the wrist the human hand is a masterpiece of nature.

 Perhaps, this is why many cultures throughout history viewed the human hand as a perfect microcosm of the universe. For example, the shaman kings (Wu) of ancient China viewed all things in the animated world as emanations of the changing relationship between five fundamental principles (commonly referred to as the Five Elements): Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, and Metal. They viewed the human hand as one of the most poignant examples of these five principles, with each of the fingers representing one the Five Elements (Earth/thumb, Metal/index, Water/little, Wood/ring, and Fire/middle). These relationships, and the character of each finger based on the theory of Five Elements

According to the doctrine of Yoga Tattva Mudra Vijnana, all diseases in the body and disturbances of mind result from the imbalance of the Five Elements and disruption of the natural flow of prana. Through centuries of use and refinement, the techniques of the five classes of mudras have been shown to be a highly effective system of self-healing and spiritual cultivation. The passage below conveys the supreme importance of mudras in the yoga tradition

GENERAL TIPS ON PRACTICING YOGA MUDRAS

General Tips on Practicing yoga mudras 

The underlying power of mudras exists in feeling the subtle energetic effects in your own body. Whether you are practicing yoga mudras for healing or spiritual cultivation, or dance mudras for emotional and aesthetic expression, the secret to taking your experience deeper is to slow down, concentrate on the subtleties of each gesture, and really feel the effects of what you are doing. Practicing single- hand mudras with each hand will increase the benefits. However, if a mudra cannot be made with each hand, there is still great benefit in practicing with one hand. This is especially true in the case of injury or disease in one hand, or even the loss of a hand or arm.

The hands in their basic resting form open and relaxed represent the realm of pure potential. This potential is neutral. You can select what you want to manifest by performing any number of mudras after taking a moment of stillness with the hands in their natural position. Practicing this way, you activate what is always present in the formless state. If you are new to mudras, you can practice three to four mudras at a time to create a balanced set based on your specific focus. If you are familiar with the practice of hand gestures, you can string together as many mudras as you like. There is no hard rule as to the order of mudras practiced. We encourage you to experiment, using your own intuition and sensitivity as your guide. Further information on sequences and traditional sets of mudras can be found in the Appendices.

Aside from the holistic benefits of mudras, working with hand gestures is also wonderful for the health of the hands themselves. For the physical benefit of the joints, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage of the hands, it is good to extend the fingers vigorously and activate your muscular strength while holding the mudras. To stimulate the more subtle energetic effects, and to affect the whole.body and mind through the Five Element finger relationships, it is better to keep the hands soft and relaxed while performing mudras. We generally recommend incorporating both methods of practice in a given session, or alternating methods each day you practice. In this way, you maximize both the physical and psycho spiritual benefits of your practice.

Here are a few more general recommendations:

 Be gentle with your fingers. Some of the mudras may challenge the flexibility of your finger joints, and it is not uncommon to feel a little sore after practicing some of the more complex mudras. If you have arthritis in your hands, practicing mudras is especially helpful, yet even more caution and gentleness needs to be employed.

Do not practice on a full stomach.

Use your mind to send energy into your hands, and become aware of each and every finger and part of your hands, wrists, and your entire body. Activating the energy in your hands will in turn activate the corresponding energy in your body and will make your entire being feel more alive and awake.

While practicing the various hand gestures, articulate the precise form as described in this text to the best of your ability, while bearing in mind that we all have slightly different body proportions, and our anatomical differences will reflect in the subtle variations of our hand gestures.

THE ART OF BEING PRESENT AND IMPORTANT WAYS TO START LIVING IN THE MOMENT

 Here’s a thought to ponder. How often do we truly live in the present, fully immersed in the here and now? For many of us, the answer is probably not often enough

We’re either stuck replaying past events or anxiously anticipating the future. We’re everywhere but here. And truth be told, it’s a recipe for stress, dissatisfaction, and missed opportunities

1.  EMBRACE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY 

Brace yourself for this: the key to living in the moment starts with you. You, and only you, have the power to choose how you live your life

Think about it. We often let our past mistakes and future worries dictate our present. We play the victim, blaming external circumstances or other people for our inability to be present. But the reality is that we are in control of our reactions and responses

So instead of surrendering your power, embrace it. Take responsibility for your life. If you find yourself dwelling on a past event, acknowledge it and then bring yourself back to the now

If you’re anxious about what’s to come, remind yourself that the future isn’t here yet all you have is this moment

2.  CULTIVATE SELF AWARENESS 

The journey to living in the present moment often begins with a deep understanding of oneself. In my own experience, self-awareness has been key to becoming more present in life 

Try to realize that your fixation on the future was driven by fear and fear of failure, fear of judgment, even fear of success. And it was this self-awareness that allowed me to consciously choose to let go of these fears and fully embrace the present

By understanding yourself on a deeper level, you can uncover the barriers that keep you from living in the moment. And once you know what they are, you can start to dismantle them

3.  SEE FAILURE AS OPPORTUNITIES

Failures, obstacles they’re often seen as negatives. We view them as roadblocks on our path, hindrances to our progress

But have you ever considered that they might just be opportunities in disguise?

When we face a setback, it’s easy to get caught up in the frustration, the disappointment, the ‘why me?’ But guess what? That’s not living in the present. That’s getting stuck in a moment of time

 The real challenge and the real opportunity lies in accepting the setback for what it is: a chance to grow, to learn, to evolve. It’s an invitation to tap into your creative potential and find innovative solutions

So next time you’re faced with a failure, take a deep breath. Accept it. Embrace it. See it as an opportunity to learn something new about yourself or the world around you

4.    REFRAMING YOUR DEFINITION OF HAPPINESS 

We all want to be happy, don’t we? But what if the way we’re searching for happiness is actually making us miserable?

We often chase after happiness as if it’s a destination, a place to arrive at. We set goals, make plans, and believe that once we achieve them, we’ll be happy

But the truth is, happiness isn’t found at the end of a journey. It’s found here, in the present moment

The illusion of happiness” and why chasing it can lead to dissatisfaction. True contentment comes from within, by embracing life’s challenges, fostering meaningful relationships, and staying true to oneself

Watching this might just shift your perspective on what it means to be happy and how to find it in the present moment

5.  ALIGN YOUR ACTIONS WITH YOUR VALUES 

Let’s get real for a moment . Living in the present isn’t just about enjoying life as it unfolds, but it’s also about ensuring that every decision we make, every action we take, is aligned with our deepest values

But it’s amazing how often we stray from this path. We find ourselves doing things out of habit, out of expectation, out of fear – not because they truly resonate with who we are and what we stand for

This disconnect can lead to dissatisfaction, stress, even a sense of emptiness – all of which can pull us out of the present moment. But the good news? You have the power to change this

Start by identifying your core values. What matters most to you in life? What principles do you want to guide your actions? Once you’ve clarified these, strive to align your decisions and actions with them

Whether it’s in your work, your relationships, or your engagement with social issues, make sure that what you’re doing reflects who you are and what you believe in. It’s not always easy, but it’s a powerful step towards living authentically and fully in the present moment

SIMPLE THINGS THAT CAN INSTANTLY BOOST YOUR SELF ESTEEM

Genuine self-esteem, on the other hand, comes from embracing who you are flaws and all

Boosting self-esteem doesn’t require a complete personality overhaul, as much as your head might tell you that you need a whole new face and personality

Being someone with high self-esteem means recognizing your worth and letting that shine through in everything you do

And whether you consider yourself to be lacking in confidence or not, there are always simple yet effective tweaks you can make to help you improve and become an even better version of yourself

Read on to learn about small things you can incorporate into your life that can give your self-esteem an immediate uplift

1.  POSITIVE SELF TALK 

It’s no secret that the way we talk to ourselves can greatly influence our self-esteem

Positive self-talk is about consciously shifting the tone of that inner voice. It’s about replacing negative thought patterns with affirmations of self-worth and capability

When faced with challenges, you often default to negative thinking. But a simple shift in mindset can create a ripple effect on your self-esteem

So, let’s start by choosing positivity over negativity in your internal dialogues. It’s a small change, but its impact on your self-esteem can be massive

Remember, it’s crucial to be genuine in your positive affirmations to avoid deluding yourself

2.  PRACTICE SELF CARE 

In the hustle and bustle of life, we often forget to take care of ourselves. But did you know that self-care has a direct impact on your self-esteem?

Self-care isn’t just about pampering yourself with a spa day or a shopping spree (although those are nice too!). It’s about making time to attend to your physical, mental, and emotional needs

This could be as simple as ensuring you get enough sleep, eating nutritious food, taking breaks when needed, or even spending some quiet time alone

When you take care of yourself, you send a message to your mind that you are valuable and worth caring for. This can significantly improve your self-worth and in turn, boost your self-esteem

So make sure to carve out some ‘me time’ in your schedule. Your self-esteem will thank you for it

3.  GETTING GRATEFUL 

Gratitude is more than just saying ‘thank you

It’s about acknowledging the good in your life and recognizing that much of it comes from outside yourself

Living with gratitude can bring a multitude of benefits both physical and psychological

In terms of self-esteem, acknowledging your blessings helps you focus on your achievements and good qualities rather than dwelling on your deficiencies

This simple practice can shift your focus away from negative self-perceptions and towards an appreciation of your life and your place within it

4.  SETTING AUTHENTIC GOALS

Setting goals is a great way to boost your self-esteem

But the trick is to make them manageable and achievable, rather than overwhelming

But when you set a goal that’s within your reach and you achieve it, it reinforces your belief in your abilities and boosts your self-esteem

As you achieve these goals, you’ll start to feel more confident in your ability to take on bigger challenges

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. So start with small steps and watch as they lead you towards greater self-esteem

5.  BELIEVE IN YOURSELF 

Self-esteem lies one simple, yet powerful belief the belief in your own worth

Believing in yourself is not about being arrogant or thinking you’re better than others. It’s about acknowledging your strengths, accepting your weaknesses, and knowing that you are enough, just as you are

This belief acts as the foundation for your self-esteem. Without it, all the other steps might fall short

So, remind yourself daily of your worth. Believe in your abilities, your potential, and most importantly, believe in you

Remember, you are enough. You always have been and you always will be
