Genuine Happiness Comes From Within

Life isnt the sweetest candy. Sometimes, when I feel like the world is just too heavy, I look around and find people who continued to live fascinating and wonderful lives. And then thoughts come popping into my mind like bubbles from nowhere How did their life become so adorably sweet? How come they still can manage to laugh and play around despite a busy stressful life? Then I pause and observed for awhile I figured out that maybe, they start to work on a place called self.

So, how does one become genuinely happy? Step 1 is to love yourself.

Genuine Happiness Comes from Within
My theology professor once said that loving means accepting. To love oneself means to accept that you are not a perfect being, but behind the imperfections must lie a great ounce of courage to be able to discover ways on how to improve your repertoire to recover from our mistakes.

Genuine happiness also pertains to contentment. When you are contented with the job you have, the way you look, with your family, your friends, the place you live in, your car, and all the things you now have truly, you know the answer to the question how to be genuinely happy.

When we discover a small start somewhere from within, that small start will eventually lead to something else, and to something else. But if you keep questioning life lit it has never done you any good, you will never be able to find genuine happiness.

Self Improvement
I believe that life is about finding out about right and wrong, trying and failing, wining and losing. These are things that happen as often as you inhale and exhale. Failure, in a persons life has become as abundant and necessary as air. But this should not hinder us from becoming happy.

How to be genuinely happy in spite all these? I tell you every time you exert effort to improve the quality of life and your being, whether it is cleaning up your room, helping a friend, taking care of your sick dog, fail on board exams and trying again, life gives you equivalent points for that.

Imagine life as a big score board like those which are used in the NFLs. Every time you take a step forward, you make scoring points. Wouldnt it be nice to look at that board at the end of each game and think to yourself Whew! I got a point today. Im glad I gave it a shot., instead of looking at it all blank and murmur Geez, I didnt even hit a score today. I wish I had the guts to try out. We could have won! and then walk away.

Self Improvement Info
Genuine happiness isnt about driving the hottest Formula 1 car, nor getting the employee of the year award, earning the highest 13th month pay, or beating the sales quota. Sometimes, the most sought after prizes in life doesnt always go to the fastest, the strongest, the bravest or not even the best. So, how do you become genuinely happy? Every one has his own definition of happiness. Happiness for a writer may mean launching as much best selling books as possible. Happiness for a basketball rookie may mean getting the rookie of the year award. Happiness for a beggar may mean a lot of money. Happiness for a business man may mean success. So, really now, how do we become genuinely happy? Simple. You dont have to have the best things in this world. Its about doing and making the best out of every single thing. When you find yourself smiling at your own mistake and telling your self Oh, Ill do better next time, you carry with you a flame of strong will power to persevere that may spread out like a brush fire. You possess a willingness to stand up again and try that will make you a genuinely happy person.

Have Time On Your Side: Essential Time Management Guide

author Posted by: Kay Huna on date Sep 13th, 2008 | filed Filed under: Self Help & Motivation

Perhaps you are like me and you are fed up of hearing everyone give you advice about time. They just go on and on. Like, hope you can find some time. On the other hand, do not forget to make yourself some time. How about, do not lose any time. Alternatively, do not waste time. And, my all time favorite is, be sure to use time wisely. If I hear just one more I am sure, I will lose it!

Now, they may all be sound advice but what I really want to hear just once is, how about some playtime. That kind of time I do deserve.

You and I can actually accomplish a lot more if we just learn to devote time for ourselves. Doing this, though, is not always so easy.

We should all work very hard and when we do, we are bound to struggle through the pressures of life. It just makes sense. You are likely among those who are often found trying to get ahead and meet the demands of your job or family, right? Yet, if we do not stop and give ourselves the attention we need, we will all end up suffering to one degree or another.

Keep in mind that there is no one right way to manage this. Everyone has variable circumstances. We all have some unique problems in doing or achieving this aim. Perhaps the first thing to realize is that you are not managing time to do this. You are managing yourself.

A well-managed individual is well organized.

In order to manage yourself, establish your priorities. I am not talking about those “most important” things to do. It is prioritizing those things that are most important to you at a personal level. In focusing less on the tangible and more on the fulfillment of things you value, you will then achieve a sense of balance. You just need to determine what those activities are.

Take a look at what your leisure desires are. Travel? Reading? Bowling? Dancing? Dining out more? Visiting with family and friends? Deciding what you want to do is the first step to finding the time to do it.

Your priorities can therefore encompass: Friends and family relations, personal enrichment, health and wellness, pursuing personal passions, and working toward long-range goals. Life is more fulfilling when you are doing those things because they bring you joy. You do not need to sacrifice career, family, and well being to achieve balance in your life. You do not even need to change jobs either. Just change yourself. That should be priority number one.

You can create your own brand in lifestyle. It is not something created for you, I know you might think that others control your life, and that you are not in control, but that just is not true. You have many different choices.

Part of the choices that you will make has to do with doing those things that align with your purpose or spirit. You can opt to take any task and turn it into a purposeful one, giving it importance and meaning. If you do it any other way, it is just a chore. The way you view your activities has a great deal of impact on how you approach them.

Read Here the Vital Information About Sahasrara Chakra and Other Chakras

author Posted by: Kay Huna on date Sep 11th, 2008 | filed Filed under: Self Help & Motivation

Sahasrara Chakra

The seventh of the primary chakras, also known as the Crown Chakra - located at the top of the cranium: suppresses appetite, provides a peaceful environment, relieves tension, and is good for migraines. Also promotes: inner strength, wisdom, kindness, artistic talent and creativity. Governs brain, nerves, soul energy. Forms spiritual awareness, divine energy. Only the Root, Solar Plexus and Crown Chakra are able to access and receive energies from the Higher Self. Other chakras receive these energies after having been filtered through one of these three chakras.

Visualize the Crown Chakra and ask the Universe for energy to flow down through your Crown Chakra. As the energy flows into your Crown Chakra, visualize it entering your bloodstream through the arteries and permeating the cells of your entire body. If you have a specific problem you wish to work on, you can ask for the energy to infuse that particular area of the body.

The body listens to every thought you think, so just by stating what you want, it will happen. This is the time to get plugged to the Cosmic Ordering knowledge.

Shoulder Chakra

The shoulders (strength) - considered as one chakra not two, and shoulders hold the consciousness of responsibility. You know this as a kinaesthetic experience. When you are feeling overburdened your shoulders get tense. The pathological consciousness, or unhealthy expression of shoulders, is when one perceives responsibilities as burdens. That the responsibilities are creating major stress. Key words to express this: feelings of restriction, desire for freedom, resentment of life situations.

Which consciousness matches what you feel in your body when you think of the word ‘responsibility’? The natural one which is just the natural flow of energy, or the pathological one which presents as tension? There is a channel of energy which is often closed in most modern humans that connects this chakra to another chakra on the left shoulder. The Shoulder Chakra, though rarely if ever mentioned, is critical as it is a favourite point of entity attachment. Addictions often have their roots in, and can be effectively cleared up by working with, the Shoulder Chakra.

Sole (left) Chakra

The normal spin direction of the Feet Chakras depend on what is naturally your dominant hand. If you are born with a RIGHT hand dominance, then the natural spin direction of your Right Sole Chakras will be clockwise, the natural spin direction of your Left Sole Chakras will be ANTI-clockwise. This is in accordance with the natural function of your Palm and Foot chakras. If you are born with a LEFT hand dominance, all of that will be reversed.

Right foot main chakra = “Coming and going, we keep you on your path.” Left foot main chakra = “I keep you on the spiral path so that you can re-learn the failed lessons.”

In a physical sense, the Foot Chakra is actually a split energy centre, with each half sitting in the ball of each foot. If you were to place your feet together, these centres would seem to combine and make a complete energy centre. However, regardless of whether the feet are physically next to each other, these split-centres, on each foot, are always linked and are always complete.

With the Sole Chakra blocked, all the areas of humanness get affected negatively.

Sole (right) Chakra

People tend to get a blocked up Foot Chakra when life gets a bit too much for them. The increase in mundane activity backs-up energy in the Foot Chakra because the individual is not used to clearing this increased amount of energy flow. Quickly, a sense of fear or anticipation can pervade, as the other higher centres begin to leak energy out into the aura. People experiencing the onslaught of this condition will report an increase in sensitivity all over the body. Exercise can help here to alleviate this condition, temporarily, but eventually this energy centre will have to be unblocked to permanently alter the condition. The other fix is to return to previous levels of mundane activity, which is undesirable because, if the individual is experiencing a growth in activity, it is likely that the person is ready to handle things on a more increased level.

A good healthy Foot Chakra will help you to more easily manifest things physically, as it is the transformer of your thought energy into the earth system. A good Foot Chakra will also help you to stay physically focused and on task throughout your day. If you are clumsy or fall frequently it is a sign that this chakra is not working well.Foot massages can help greatly here, as well as walking barefoot in the dirt or sand.

You can also pay special attention to kundalini yoga online - this practise has helped many over ages.

on avoiding domestic violence

There are several things more destructive to the family as domestic violence. When there is a relationship that is supposed to be happy, and is based on love and respect but instead is covered with violence, everybody is affected. Having been in a domestic violence experience myself it is easy to see that it can happen to anyone. I was really luck to get out of my relationship with my life, and I am very much thankful each day that his threats to kill me did not actually happened that night when I was waiting for the police to come to my door one last time

Your Best Road Map to Professional Growth and Personal Growth

Probing into Self Insight and Professional Growth

There are so many ways to get what you want these days there is not reason for you not to be able to get that profession that you are wanting. It may take some time but it’s ok, that is all we have is time, if you think about it that is the truth there is nothing but time in our world. Instead of thinking that you do not have much time, think about the time you won’t have when you are working 70 hours a week just to make ends meet.

Although we are working, we can spend some of the minutes centering in on our way to improve our skills. Without time we wouldn’t be anything. Have you taken a long deep look into your head to decided what you want to do when you really grow up? This is something they are suppose to get you to do when your in school is to show you how to become a professional. Who wants to think about school when we are young and we don’t want to send all of our time in school?

Most of us are thinking at that time I don’t need school to make something out of myself, I will get a job. Most of us did that but if you are anything like others, soon you will find out that it wasn’t what you really wanted to do for the rest of my life. Sometimes gets you by but as you get older and had a family of your own and soon noticed that what you was doing wasn’t going to get you the life you wanted for your children. We have to then think of how and what to do to improve our life so that we could set a good example for my children, this is when we have to take a long look in the mirror and think. You may have found out that you wanted to help sick children and adults so you decided that you were going to go back to school to become a nurse or you decided to get involved into the helping third world countries. That is what some people did; yet as they went back to school and became that nurse they learned later that this that was absolutely not the case for the things they wanted to do in life. Some people run into some hard times in getting their degree but if these people would stick with it, things would work out fine.

Like they say I don’t need school well they will soon see that they do need school. We cannot make our child do anything that they don’t want to do, but we can try to show them the right way in life. We can make them think about personal growth. Children learn what is good and bad, we cannot make their minds up for them, but we can teach them how to make the right ones in life to get what they want and desire though out there years. Start probing into your life.

Why Coaching is the Way to Go in Team Management

Self Help & Self Improvement

When you hear the word coach, what comes first into your mind? Do you picture a basketball team with a man/woman shouting out directions? Or perhaps a football team with a man/woman pacing to and fro and calling out the names of the players?

Coaching is no longer reserved to sports teams; it is now one of the key concepts in leadership and management. Why is coaching popular?

Coaching levels the playing field.

Coaching is one of the six emotional leadership styles proposed by Daniel Goleman. Moreover, it is a behavior or role that leaders enforce in the context of situational leadership. As a leadership style, coaching is used when the members of a group or team are competent and motivated, but do not have an idea of the long-term goals of an organization. This involves two levels of coaching: team and individual. Team coaching makes members work together. In a group of individuals, not everyone may have nor share the same level of competence and commitment to a goal. A group may be a mix of highly competent and moderately competent members with varying levels of commitment. These differences can cause friction among the members. The coaching leader helps the members level their expectations. Also, the coaching leader manages differing perspectives so that the common goal succeeds over personal goals and interests. In a big organization, leaders need to align the staffs personal values and goals with that of the organization so that long-term directions can be pursued.
