Make 2020 Your DREAM Year.

As the calendar reached 2020 everyone of you started deciding the new year's resolution, but before anything else:

"Did you appreciate yourself for surviving through the ups and downs of 2019?

"Did you thank yourself for not giving up during the tough times last year?"

"Did you take a minute to thank God for all the blessings that were bestowed upon you in 2019?"

As the New Year begins I advise you to first thank God and then thank and appreciate yourself for the positive things that happened with you because of you in all the previous years.

Coming back to the new year's resolution you don’t really need new numeric figures in life to decide certain things for yourself, instead we can word it as 'you can plan for certain things targeting the next 12 months to  fulfill them and achieve it, and that’s where I say 'Make 2020 Your Dream Year'.

                                      

 Making 2020 a DREAM Year does not requires much efforts all what you do need to do is to follow these things:

• Make Happiness Unconditional: We are in a generation where heartbreaks are common. But has  anyone ever tried finding out the reason for the disappointments and heartbreaks and if yes, we have probably blamed others for it but in reality we are our own culprits and we commit errors by expecting too much from the world in return to what we give to them. Remember to only give and seek happiness unconditionally and see how your life changes.
• Trust Yourself and Believe in your potentials: Nothing is impossible if you are willing to strive for it and you are going to achieve it when you trust yourself and your potentials. Remember, everything in life starts from you and therefore always believe in yourself.
• Be honest with Yourself: You need to have a clear vision about your life and its related things. You need to know what is not working and what you really want in your life.You have to be willing to let go things and further do not get stuck with every minor issues in life because remember life goes on.
• Lay solid foundations for Courageous New Beginnings that connect to your deepest desires because it is it rightly said 'try try till you succeed.'
• Be Brave enough to Achieve your Dreams: Never ever underestimate yourself with the thought that your dreams are too big to achieve, never think that you aren’t capable of it. Instead you need to bravely tell yourself that 'you are capable and worthy of every dream you wish'

Wishing you Good Luck for the New Year.

Anger Management

"For every minute you are angry, you lose 60 seconds of happiness"

 "Don’t you want to lead a happy life? Do you want to frustrate yourself every day by hampering your mental peace?"

These simple questions anonymously answer that you deserve a happy life and you need to discard emotions which hamper your peace.  

Anger is the most dangerous enemy to your happiness and learning to give-up on your anger for your happiness is the most important thing you should be doing for your own-self. Anger is a human emotion caused due to unforeseen circumstances, unjust acts or as a consequence of saddening situations in life.

Learn to Control your "ANGER" because it is just one letter away from "D"ANGER

Anger can be dangerous to your life and has the following effects:

 

• Anger leads to deteriorating physical health which includes high BP, headache and anxiety
• Anger hampers your mental well-being which includes frequent irritations, breakdowns and  not getting sound sleep
• Anger results in spoiling your relationships with families and other people because of  your rudeness and temperament.
• Anger also has a bad effect on your career as you tend to spoil your relationship with office colleagues and seniors because of your arrogant behavior.

Anger management plays a vital role in shaping your personality. Managing your anger does not mean that you need to control it all the time, understand controlling and managing are two different aspects. Anger as an emotion is going to come out regardless of your control over it, therefore you need to learn to manage your anger rather than controlling it.

Effective Tips to Manage your Anger:

1.  The foremost thing you need to do is to figure out your nature with regards temper issues. You need to understand as to what are the things that add up to your temper.
2. Anger within you arises due to different sources like it may be caused because of frustration, unforeseen circumstances, work pressure, emotional breakdown or when life does not goes as per your will. Once you have figured out the source of your anger, you need to sit and tell yourself one thing "Anger doesn't solve anything, it builds nothing but it can destroys everything.
3. After knowing the source of your anger, next immediate thing that you need to do is to know what triggers you to react in such a manner. Ask yourself, "have you reach a level of frustration that you can't control it anymore? Is it an emotional breakdown? Is it your work pressure which makes you behave in this manner?" After getting your answers, relax and understand that anger is an emotion just like every other emotion and therefore don't let it overpower you, instead choose to not get triggered by it and take the issue in a humorous manner or by remaining silent  for that particular moment. Choosing to ignore it, meditating and spending time with positive people around has also proven to be effective tips to overcome the trigger of your anger.
4.  Every management in your life is for you and you are the first person to handle it, be it 'time management' or 'anger management' you need to work on yourself first and other management follows thereon. Learn to stay calm in the stormy situation. "You think that is impossible?" Nothing is impossible if you are willing to do it and you need to change and keep on trying to calm yourself till you finally succeed.
5. Even after multiple attempts to have control over yourself, over your emotions and anger you still fail in managing it and despite many steps to control and manage your anger if you fail, its advisable that  you need to enroll for anger management therapy at the earliest because remember "ANGER" is only a letter away from "D"ANGER.

How to Set and Achieve your Goals in Life

"If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things."  Albert Einstein.

Around the globe it is observed that people like to do things or activities which make them happy. Doing your daily routine work i.e. personal and professional work is a part of your life. But who is the master of assigning you this work? It's no one else than you. 

So work on those things in your life which you want to, which gives you a sense of satisfaction and happiness. These things in your life are called as your 'Goals' in life. If you want to lead a satisfactory life, set your goals and work towards it.

Now let us first understand the basic concept of 'Goal Setting'.

Goal setting is the process wherein you have a specific target/thing  to achieve which is your 'goal' and Goal setting therefore would include all the steps towards achieving the target. Everyone has a goal in their life, be it a personal life goal like gaining self-confidence, improving body language or to improve oneself, a professional goal like to generate more income, acquire leadership qualities or to improve public relations, a business goal which includes setting up your own business as an entrepreneur. Further, Life goals includes a mixture of personal life goals, professional life goals along with primary goals like setting up a family, having a stable source of income and improving oneself to achieve all the desire goals ultimately.

In this article let us keep in mind our personal and professional life goals for a long term vision and understand the goal setting procedure by using a business goal as instance.

1.  Know your Goals: This is the foremost and the most important step for setting up your goals. You need to have a clear view as to what do you want in your life or what are you looking forward to in your life. Knowing your goals also includes that you should know yourself too. Further, a human has too many goals and aims in his life. Do not overburden yourself by having multiple goals at a same time. Rank your goals according to their importance in your life and have a main goal and create sub-goals. For instance you want to set-up a small scale trading business on your own, this is your main professional life goal. You further desire to have a good property to start your business center, you want to appoint supporting staffs, you want to have amazing interiors for your center and want to undertake other luxurious activities. Can you fulfill all these goals with your business capital alone? The probable answer to this is No. So remember to have a main goal and to not have multiple goals at the same time to mess up your work, therefore create sub-goals.  
2. Understand your Goals:  Goals are also classified as long term and short term goals. Before deciding on to your goal, remember to keep in mind its effect in short and long run in your life. For instance when you decide to set-up a small scale trading business keep in mind that its a long term process, you can't expect returns within a short span of time. Every business has a breathing period and then it flourishes to give you an average return to your invested capital. Further, if this small scale trading business is for trading seasonal things or festive stuffs it is going to have a short term effect and after a point of time it will discontinue yielding returns to you. 
3. Research on your desire Goal: Researching about your desire goal is an essential step to set up a goal. Researching broadens your horizon for a particular goal and you tend to have a better vision for it. For instance if you decide to set-up a small scale trading business then researching on the products which are trending in market for buying-selling is a great idea and accordingly then deciding your business product.
4. List down the pros and cons of your Goal: Understanding and accepting the pros and cons of your desire goal is very important for setting up your goal successfully. Pros and cons of your goal means the positive and negative impact of your goal in your life. Remember, all your personal life goals will definitely have a positive impact on your life therefore never stop improving yourself. 
5. Set time limit to achieve your Goal: Remember a goal without a timeline is just a dream. Therefore always make it a point to start working on your dreams by setting up your goals and further have time limit set to achieve those goals. 
6. Work towards your Goal: Setting up your goals is a continuous process wherein you need to work consistently towards it without any breaks. Remember nothing in life comes easy and therefore you need to put all your efforts and work to set up and achieve your goals. 

After you have succeeded in setting up your goals, it's time for the final step to Achieve It.

1. Work consistently towards your Goal: There is no stop towards working for your goals. You start working for setting up your goals and you have to continue working consistently to achieve it and retain it to lead a successful life.
2. Stay motivated to achieve your Goal: Constant self- motivation is a crucial point that you need to remember for achieving and retaining your goals. Encourage yourself every time and believe in your potentials to achieve your desire goal.
3. Be determined for your Goal: Sticking by your goal is equally as important as motivating yourself for achieving the desire goal. Ups and downs are part of every journey, even the ladder has ups and down steps, so remember if you go through a down phase while achieving your goals do not give up. Stay determined for it.  

SET YOUR GOALS HIGH AND DON'T STOP TILL YOU GET THERE.

Remember your belief in god is the foremost step to lead a happy and positive life. How can you not believe in the existence of god when you are existing only because of him in this world. God does exist in numerous forms around you, to take care of you and to protect you. So remember god in all your good and bad times. Thank god for the good times and ask him for mercy and help in the bad times. Do cultivate a habit to spare few minutes from your daily schedule to spend it with god. This time can be for doing anything right from reading your religious books or simply having a conversation with god. Once you make this a habit you will sense a feeling of inner peace. In this fast growing and busy world finding inner peace is a blessing and that leads to your real happiness.

• Believe in Yourself:

Have you ever heard someone saying, "I am a bad human and I am still happy in my life' or has anyone ever told you that "I don't believe in my potentials but I am happy in life?" 
No wise human has ever quoted these lines. Believing in yourself is the next immediate step to lead a happy life after you start believing in god. You need to have your self-confidence tied with you in all the rough and tough times in your life. Don't give up on yourself only because you think life is hitting you hard, make yourself so strong like a stone that you hit back to all those problems which are giving you pain and sufferings. Remember at the end it's all about your self-confidence, self-esteem and believe in your own self. 

• Spend Quality Time with Yourself & Be Optimistic: 

Spending quality time with yourself is an important act and you should make it a habit of doing things which makes you happy. This time should be a quality time which means you should feel relief from the worldly stress and other issues in your life. It's subjective as to what makes a person happy and what does quality time means to an individual. For those who think that they can't find answers as to what makes them happy and what does their quality time means, I can suggest you to just sit with yourself for sometime and think about all the positive things in your life. Thank god for it. Talk about your blessings with yourself rather than complaining about your burdens. This little time will lead you a step closer to your inner peace and happiness. Later, try knowing yourself more to find out the acts which makes you happy so that you start spending quality time with yourself. Remember this quality time has to get you only positive outcomes and therefore discard all the negativity when you sit to spend time with yourself.

• Don't be Afraid of Change: 

Life isn't constant. Understand that ups and downs are part of every individual's life. So don't fear to do things only because you are afraid of change. Not every storm comes to destroy things, at times that storm comes to clear your path. The change that you are fearing may be good for you someday, just let life flow and don't hold back only because you think you can't take up changes in your life in a positive manner. God has a plan for you, trust it, live it and enjoy it. 

• Don't Overthink: 

Your mind is the most powerful weapon of your body. If you choose to overthink then your mind is going to kill all your happiness. Overthinking has never resulted in any positive outcome. Understand, the quality of your thinking determines the quality of your life. Try every possible thing to free yourself from the act of overthinking and this will in return secure the happiness of your life and lead to positive results.

• Don't Compare Your Life with Others & Treat People with Dignity: 

Every individual is different and everyone has a story that is not read aloud. Therefore never compare your life with others. Work for your own self and not for competing with others. Live for your own happiness and do not carry ill- feelings for others in your heart. Forgive people for their wrong-doings because god likes the person who forgives the other.Don't hold on to grudges and keep a feeling of vendetta in you, keep your heart clean from all the negativity so that you are able to live happily.  Further, opinions and criticism are a part of the life journey, so don't get influence with the positive opinions and negative criticism, do what you feel is right for your own self. These little things will cover you with positive vibes from all the corners of your life. 
LASTLY,

Don't forget to remind yourself everyday, "I AM THE CREATOR OF MY OWN HAPPY LIFE" 

Don't Change Yourself, Improve Yourself.

Before taking a step to Change or Improve yourself, you need to know yourself first. So how do you know yourself? 

Knowing basic things like your likes, dislikes, kind of nature is not sufficient to know yourself better.You need to know every minute detail about yourself, because even a smallest thing counts in this big world. Before deciding on to change yourself, ask yourself a small question, 'Are you that bad that the worldly opinion is influencing you to change yourself or is it that you who has decided to change?' 

If it's the case that you are changing because of others, it's time to realize that you don't love yourself enough and you are so weak as a person that you easily get influenced. Start to love yourself before doing anything else in your life. You can get a few tips for Self Love on my post: https://lifeskillenhancement.blogspot.com/2019/07/self-love.html?m=1

Next, if you have yourself decided to change, then let me modify a small word for you here. You aren't CHANGING yourself, you are IMPROVING yourself. 

Remember even one word in your mind can affect your thoughts and acts. So when you think you are improving yourself it gives you a sense of positivity. On the other hand when you think you are changing yourself it has a negative sound from the inner you who is questioning you, 'Am I so bad that I need to change to fit in this world?' 

Remember never shush your inner voice, it's who you really are.

So every time you decide to improve or work on something keep telling yourself, 'I am doing this for my own self'

Here are some common situations where you can relate yourself and Improve, and not Change.

1. The act of improving oneself arises in a situation where you think you are being treated as an outsider among other people. And what makes you think that? Only because you think people are different than you, the surrounding and the atmosphere is such that you are not able to be your own self. Such places may include educational institutions or work place. Understand it's okay if people are different there, it's fine if the atmosphere is different. These little facts do not mean that you are lacking something in you and therefore you have to change yourself. Rather than changing, decide to improve yourself, make yourself open to accept and be comfortable with the fact that every individual is different. You don't have to change to set in an environment which you don't like, instead improve yourself and learn to adjust to fit in that environment because life is all about adjustments in the required circumstances.
2. The act of improving oneself arises when you are losing your own self because you have started disliking yourself. Only because you think others are having a good life and you aren't doing well in your life, therefore you need to change and be like them. No, you don't have to change, you only need improve yourself by having self confidence and love for yourself. Don't compare your life with others, everyone has their own story which is not read aloud.
3. The act of improving oneself arises when you have unintentionally and unknowingly indulged in the habit of overthinking. Overthinking is one of the cause of your unhappiness. If it's in your nature to overthink, then ask yourself a question here: 'Did overthinking ever gave you any solution?' With all probability the answer here is a No. So improve yourself and avoid to overthink by having a wise and a practical approach towards the issue.
4. The act of improving oneself arises when you are stuck in daily fights between your mind and heart, which is known as internal conflict. The mind and heart are part of your own body don't indulge in fights between them, rather decide on to chose a wise thought either from your heart or mind depending on the circumstances of the issue.

Remember to improve yourself, not to change.

Good Luck! 

Self-Communication

Self-Communication is an essential tool for enhancing your personality and to lead a happy and a satisfactory life.

Now let us first understand the concept of self-communication.Talking to your own self and having a verbal interaction with yourself is known as self-communication.
Self-Communication plays a vital role in your life. You know yourself better than anyone else around you. Remember you are your own tutor, guider, counselor and a friend.You are the only one person with whom you can communicate 24 hours in a day.

Interpersonal conversations are really important to have an emotional stability within you. Cultivate a habit to talk with your own self, it's not wrong to do so. In-fact, self-communication is probably the best favor you can do for your own self.

Self-communication helps to boost your self-confidence and self-esteem. If you do not have interpersonal conversations with your own mind and heart, you are tend to feel that your mood is being affected easily.Disturbed mood swings can be one of the biggest reason for your unhappy life. So act wisely and  treat your inner self as your best friend, so that you can share each and everything with yourself every moment.

Self-communication also plays a vital role for your mental health. Constantly overthinking about a certain issue and not able to communicate about it with any close person can lead to many mental health issues. Then, why do you look out or wait for someone around you to speak about your problems, you are your best consoler, therefore speak with your own self and see the results.

Here are some effective ways to start with Self-Communication:

1. Schedule your day by keeping in mind to spare sometime with your own self either in the morning hours when you wake up or at night when your day has come to an end. Remember this time should be a quality time, which means it should exclude acts of thinking negatively and overthinking. Speak with yourself everything that happened on that particular day. Be optimistic and discuss your issues, don't get emotional too early. Act brave and remind yourself that you are a strong person and you can tackle with every situation.
2. Meditation also helps you boost up with your self-communication skills. Meditation makes you spend some few minutes with the inner you. Soon after meditating, do have small conversation with yourself. 
3. Don't judge yourself negatively every time after you commit a mistake. It's okay to commit mistakes, you are a human at the end. Talk with yourself and realize where did you go wrong for that mistake to happen. Promise yourself to not repeat those acts again.
4. Don't forget to love yourself. A human always tends to share and talk about life with a person whom he/she loves. You need to learn to love yourself first,to start with self communication.
