Many
times in life we face a situation where we are stuck & don’t know what to
do. It seems life is going nowhere and really need to boost ourselves. If your
are also looking for how find inner peace and happiness within yourself then
your are at the right place.
Below
I have summarized 27 ways to be happy & at ease when situations go out of
control.
I
have tried myself most of the things and some I read on internet that I am
sharing with you.
I
hope this will make a difference in your life.
1) Accept others as they are: In this competitive
world we try to stretch ourselves beyond our limitations. We always complain
about others & try to change others. If rather than changing others if we
try accepting them as it is that would be bring a dramatic change in our
relations & we can feel more relaxed.
2) Be graceful when others
criticize you: -we
get very emotionally charged when someone criticize or scold us. Especially
students & working people face this kind of situations more often. If we
remain graceful we can handle the situation properly & also we can learn
from it.
3) Practice Mindfulness: be aware of present
moment. This is the best practice to keep your mind free from worry &
unnecessary chattering that going inside our mind 24x7
4) Be natural: Don’t try to project or
show yourself as something your are not. You give your best when you are in
your natural state of mind. Don’t try to imitate others just to get attention.
5) Be positive about life: if your are deep sunk
inside a sea of sorrows then think that now this the bottom here onwards life
can take you upside only.
6) Do
meditation: Meditation
is the God’s gift to humanity. By going in deep meditation you connect with
yourself and your source. Meditation is very easy but it takes time to practice
it. But once you get into it there is nothing like it. Here is the guided
meditation for inner peace and happiness.
7) Be thankful: always have a attitude
of gratitude. No matter how worse is your life situation right now, there will
be millions who are facing worst. So always count your blessings. Be it your
health, your loving family members, your financial condition.
8) Become self-aware: when was the last time
you had a talk with yourself? When did you focus on your breathing? Be
ware of your body, your emotions, your thoughts, your sensations. Just observe
them. Be alert be aware.
9) Practice silence: decide some time frame
may be on weekends where you can practice silence. Just remain silent, don’t
try to convey anything even by signs or signals. Let the mind become still.
10) Clean your desk/Home: you might feel what’s
this! But yeah truly try once to clean your desk your room. Arrange the things
that will give you some kind of inner satisfaction
11) Differentiate between your “NEED” and “WANT” : one can
fulfill his “needs” but “wants” are limitless. These wants make people go crazy
& they just chase a mirage. Real happiness is in enjoying what you have
rather then craving for “wants”.
12) Try Deep breathing: deep breathing
increases the oxygen level at the cellular level of the body. It has numerous
advantages not only on body but also on our mind. Belly breathing is considered
to be the best breathing technique. Try deep breathing on daily basis &
feel more energetic & charged.
13) Do Exercises: “either you use it or lose it” that is
absolutely true for our body organs/parts also. We need to do stretching, warm
up exercises on daily basis to remain healthy.
14) Don’t argue: sometimes
you need to stop the arguing to close the conversations. Never argue with fools
they don’t understand logic & you lose your temper. Remember never fight
with the pig, you get dirty and pig enjoys the mud.
15) Don’t Compare yourself with others: God has created
everyone unique, everyone has his own strengths and weakness. Focus
on your strengths try to improve your weak pints.
16) Enjoy little things: suppose you are getting
late for office and suddenly you are stuck in traffic jam! Then rather then
curing the situation try to enjoy! ohh after a long time there is a jam! look
at the people around what they are doing how they behave.
17) Forgive & Forget: resentment is the most
dangerous and harmful emotion that affect us. It’s a short life then why to
waste it for keeping grudge for someone. Replace that grudge with love and
abundance and see how life becomes great.
18) Surrender yourself to the Universe: from childhood we are
nurtured that way that we have to fight to survive and this “fighting spirit”
has done more harm than help. We always try to fight with life. Why? Why don’t
we trust the Universe which is govern by the law. Sometimes surrender is better
option than trying.
19) Go on vacation: this is my favorite.
Whenever I feel down I go on vacation and get 100% recharged. So pack your bag
and go to that exotic location near sea or inside dense forest or try rock
climbing.
20) Always smile: everyone loves a smiling face. So why not
spread positive vibes? Smiling doesn’t cost a dime! Also it keeps you in good
mood. People love the company of smiling faces!
21) Keep yourself occupied: there is a saying that
empty mind is devil’s home!. So keep yourself busy with something. Read new
books, surf the net, visit new websites, try to learn new language, explore a
new hobby.
22) Learn to say “NO”: helping others is always
welcome but don’t over commit. If you try to keep happy everyone then you may
don’t have time for yourself. Don’t keep legs on two boats.
23) Volunteer: serving the needy people gives the best
satisfaction one can ever imagine. Try to find out social groups or NGOs join
them. Contribute towards benefit of the poor, teach kids or any other kind of
social activity.
24) Play with infants/kids: the smile of infants or
kids is the best stress buster in the whole universe. Look into their eyes how
beautiful they are. How they enjoy themselves.
25) Stop that watch: we have become more
like a machine where the watch moves us around. Why not to change this? Try it
for once, for one day just keep the watch aside and live the life as you want.
26) Walk Alone: walking alone is like a treat you give to
yourself. Try walking bare foot on grass that helps to improve your vision.
Walking also helps in reducing the weight.
27) Be adventurous: why not to try bungee
jumping or paragliding, parasailing, mountain biking or zorbing? The biggest
advantage of adventurous activity is that there is a sudden adrenalin rush! You
feel that you are really alive!
