Whenever we experience an uncomfortable feeling, such as sadness, fear or anger, our first instinct is to ignore it, reject it or push it away. And this fair enough, we don’t really want to walk around feeling emotional pain all the time. Emotions give us useful information about our lives. It’s understanding that you don’t need to “control” your emotions. They cannot do any damage to you.  This means allowing your emotions to just be without negatively judging them or trying to change them. 14) Get rid of these 5 toxic beliefs Your beliefs and thoughts shape the perspective of your life. The way you think, interpret and react to a situation depends on your beliefs that matter for you.  But if your beliefs aren’t accurate, they could be negatively affecting you.

I know that there comes some moment in our life when we start to think that aghhhh... my life is a total waste, I should have died either. But no, you survive and face that circumstance, that critic moment... Let me ask you a question. Do you have a purpose ? No, not an ambition, or goal or a higher post you want to reach, but a purpose. Let's define it. Understanding what you want and where you want to go is crucial to being happy and finding meaning in life. That's what we call purpose. However you probably already knew that.

Thank you for your love for the part 1 of the blog, here's the second part of the series. 4) FIND and OPEN your HEART While step 3 is about acknowledging and accepting the pain, step 4 is about reconciling with a cold and unopened heart. Ask yourself this one question: do you fully love yourself ? NO !!  No need to be shocked. It's very common for all of us in this hectic world. So, accepting your flaws and your fault is one thing, but loving a person who can have your thoughts, your emotions and most importantly your mistakes? That's a completely higher level of self-love. That's something most of us miss today. What to do now ? Question yourself. Discover your life story. Trace your path way back from your childhood to the person you are now.  Understand yourself in the most intimate way ever possible, and find a reason for that damn every negative emotion, every shameful act, every word or mistake you regret even today. In this journey of ...

The majestic four letter word, the world hauls for ! ! ! L.O.V.E. Do read this blog only if and only if you have time and you want to clear up your mind about what is love and want to form the universal concept of it i.e. what universe say love is. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is: Infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro’ narrow chinks of his cavern. The above lines are an excerpt from William Blake's poem The Marriage of Heaven and Hell. In 1954, Aldous Huxley wrote The Doors of Perception.

Reflecting on the experience afterwards, Huxley concludes that to enable us to live, the brain and nervous system eliminate unessential information from the totality of the ‘Mind at Large’.  There is such an incredible intelligence and order in the world which informs all creation and evolution. It is, of course, a...
