Breathing with Motivation

stress healthy enjoy life

As human beings, we are born with a set of emotional strings attached to our heart and brain that functions in the most natural ways. Sometimes, these strings stretch so far that our emotional levels soar up high and anything that is too much is never good for the heart.

When things don’t go as expected, when people don’t behave as expected or for no better reason, motivation can evaporate leaving you with vagueness in everything that you do.  Motivation is like water, you need to refill yourself with it every now and then otherwise you become dry like the trees whose leave shed leaving it barren.

The good news is that there are a number of ways to keep yourself motivated which can help you stay enthusiastic about life.

It is important to love yourself no matter what.

If you love yourself, you will begin to enjoy what life gives you. Having expectations from oneself is good but see that you don’t push yourself too much beyond the limits. As a result, you might end up blaming yourself. Love yourself for the joy that God has taken utmost care in creating you.

People around you make a difference in your life.

When you’re around people who are positive and joyous in life, it automatically affects you. When you’re with people who are negative, you are bound to feel that way. Positive or negative, both are contagious. Make your choices carefully.

Knock off the dust from you.

Each night before you go to bed, make sure you forget all the uncomfortable things off your mind. Empty your mind so that it can be filled with positive energy the following day.

Train yourself to think only “Positive”.

Well, yes. Positive thinking doesn’t occur automatically. You have to train your mind to think only positive thoughts. There are a lot of chances for the negative thoughts to seep in but step out an affirmative yes only to positive thoughts pushing away everything else.

Ten Tips for a Stress Free Life

(Editors Note: This is from ezinearticles.com; full information is at the end of the article.)

Stress is more likely to topple you, if you’re not taking care of yourself. Put yourself first. These ten tips can help you stay on course:

1. Make time for yourself. Learn to relax for half hour daily. That will bring relief from chronic stress. Listen to the music you like, draw pictures or paint or dance. I often sit in my backyard and watch the birds eat and drink. Observing nature relaxes you. Just drive to a distance and learn to appreciate mountains or water. Read a book of interest in that atmosphere. Explore and do what works best for you.

2. Learn to relax: Take a deep breath. Close one nostril and breath through the other for 15 seconds, hold the air for 15 seconds and release through the same nostril for 15 seconds. Do this seven times through one nostril and repeat with the other. This will enhance the oxygen in your lungs by means of deep breathing.

3. Observe your thoughts. Avoid negative thought like ‘ I am hurt, someone said this or I have lost my job what will happen to my future, children are not doing well, my health is not good;. On the contrary encourage positive thoughts in your mind by sayings the same as ‘I am not hurt, this is part of the game, people have their own opinions, or I need this break and I should be alright in the future, my children are children they will get better. My health will improve when I eat right, exercise’. Your thoughts are in your control. Learn to manage your thoughts.

4. Exercise regularly. Exercise can help keep depression and anxiety at a distance. Just 30 minutes a day benefits the body and the mind. Regular walking, water aerobics, swimming helps your entire body. [Read more…]
