Inner Calm
The greater the demands on
me, the more I need to sustain my inner calm and
stability by taking time out for a little daily inner
reflection and meditation
Real beauty
Real beauty comes from within.
It comes from being comfortable in your skin, after all
no one can wear it better than you can.
It comes from accepting yourself as you are; your
personality, skills and even your limitations.
It comes from seeing what's beautiful in everyone and
everything around you.
Maintaining Your Self
Esteem In Relationships
When a person is in love with
another human, the marvelous thing about being in love
is that it is a totally positive projection. There is a
person who projects on to you all that is positive: you
are marvelous, you are unique, you are indispensable,
you are a treasure. That positive projection generates a
euphoric state, of bliss, of wellbeing, whereby you are
flying. You feel loved, cared for, needed and valued.
That positive projection lasts for a time until, with
the dependencies and expectations, the negative
projection begins. "You should have called me, you
should have told me, you should have come at this time,
you should be more like this, you should be less like
that, you should have done this or that."
With these expectations, demands and dependencies, that
positive projection and flying state disappear. The
other has started interfering in your personal space and
the harmony that was there previously is lost. One needs
to learn to have a positive vision of oneself. You are
marvelous, you are unique; don't depend on them telling
you so. This does not mean you need to feed your ego,
but that you need to make the most positive emerge from
within you. Resort to all your creative, positive,
spiritual capacity, so that you do not depend on others
having to project positive things onto you in order to
feel good. On feeling good in an independent and
autonomous way, you will be able to share with others
peace, love and positivism. You won't be in the state of
a victim but will be true rulers and controllers of your
own life with solid self-esteem.
Soul Sustenance
Positive Thinking
Given below are some examples of simple positive
affirmations (thoughts) that you can make about oneself,
others, real life situations and the future, which will
help you in becoming a positive thinker.
The self: I do like myself; I accept my
weaknesses; I understand myself; I have special skills
and qualities; I value myself; I believe in myself; I am
lovable.
Others: I accept others as they are; I look for
the best in others; there is something good in everyone
I meet; I appreciate others.
A real life situation: I am capable of handling
the situation; I have all I need; I am fortunate; there
is a bright side to everything; nothing lasts forever.
The future: I look forward to each day; every
difficult situation is an opportunity/challenge in
disguise; each day brings something new and beautiful,
something to learn.
Message for the day
The one who
transforms oneself is the one who is victorious.
Projection:
When in a discussion or debate with
someone, we usually want to have the last word. We want
the others to understand us. When we succeed in this we
feel we are a winner. But we find that neither is the
other person satisfied with us nor are we able to learn
anything new.
Solution:
In order to be a winner in all situations, we need to pay
special attention to keep learning from each situation.
We need to see in what aspect we can bring about
transformation in ourselves instead of trying to prove
ourselves right. This will make us truly victorious.
