3 Easy Shortcuts to Allow the Law of Attraction Work for You FAST!

By Vania Dimitian

There's no doubt about it- everything is energy and the energy you give is the energy you receive. So what are some sure-fire ways of absolutely knowing what kind of energy you're putting out and, more important, getting back? Glad you asked because in this article I'm going to share with you 3 easy (and fun!) ways you can be certain that the energy you're putting out is high vibrational and WILL- in the right time and in the right way for you- attract back to you the same high vibrations in the form of people, circumstances, and things. So let's get right to it!

1) GIVE, GIVE, GIVE! In order to receive whatever it is you most want, be it time, money, love, etc, you must first GIVE it away HAPPILY and FREELY. Now be honest, does that seem kind of crazy? I can just hear you now "Vania I am dead broke and in need of money NOW and you want me to GIVE money away and do it happily and freely??!" Well, yes that's exactly what I want you to do. I know it seems totally nuts and counterintuitive but when you really need something how do you feel? Desperate? Constricted? Needy? When you are sending those kinds of vibrations out into the universe what do you think you're going to attract back to you? That's right- more desperation, constriction, and neediness! However, when you give something away happily and generously that energy has no choice but to come back to you at a later time in the right way. So whatever it is that you feel you want or need most go give it away with a genuine smile on your face (and in your heart). One last thing before I move on to #2: NEVER expect anything from the person or place you gave to; that's you getting in the way of the universe and as I said before you WILL get back whatever you gave, but in the RIGHT TIME AND WAY DECIDED BY THE UNIVERSE. And trust me when I say the universe can give you SO much more than the person or place you gave to! So get to it- smile and give give give!

2) Dwell in the energy of love and appreciation: I'm sure you have heard the saying "what you appreciate appreciates". That about sums up exactly what I mean by dwell in the energy of love and appreciation. Feel love and appreciation, well, for anything and everything! Stop right now and think of 5 things or people that you really love and appreciate, really FEELING how much love and appreciation you have for them. Stay in that energy for even just 1 minute and you have already sent out some powerful, high vibrations that are already on their way back to you! There's no doubt that love and appreciation are among the highest, purest vibrations and when you consistently send them out into the universe they will always find their way back to you. So love, love, love, appreciate, appreciate, appreciate!

3) Choose to be happy and live in the present moment as much as you can! This kind of ties into having love and appreciation for anything and everything except it's about being present-i.e. get out of your head!- and choosing to be happy no matter what is going on around you. I can hear your screams once again "Vania, I'm totally out of shape and can't pay my bills and you want me to be happy about this?!" Well, once again yes I do actually. I don't want you to necessarily be happy about the fact that you're out of shape and can't pay your bills, I want you to do your best about those situations (go jogging, maybe get a second job, etc.) and then ACTIVELY SHIFT your focus on to things you are happy about, no matter how small or insignificant. It doesn't matter what you're happy about as long you are truly FEELING happy (about absolutely ANYTHING!) All that matters is you're sending out vibrations of happiness and feeling good. You can have a lot of fun with this! Use your imagination and visualize even for just a few minutes the way you really want your life to be. This is really simple yet really powerful! And fun! It will make you feel good and send out really high vibrations into the universe.

And there you have it- 3 reliable ways to ensure the energy you are sending out is exactly the kind of energy you want coming back to you. Try them out for the next few weeks and please let me know of all the wonderful manifestations occurring in your life! Until next time just remember... you are magnificent!

A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step

Author: Claire Chapman

Take the first step...

What is it you want? Where do you want to go? Now you know where you are going, think about where you are now. What's the first thing that you need to do to get moving? If possible, do it today. Life is full of "if only" and "I couldn't because". Don't be someone full of regrets because of what you didn't do, be someone who is full of stories of what they have done.

Keep taking steps.... even if they feel like baby steps!

We all have those days where it feels like every step is painful, or there is something else to do, or it's just plain too difficult. It's the "don' wanna" cry of the tantruming two! Even if it's something really simple, take one step. Mark Forster talks about this when he says, "Just get the file out". It's only a small step, but it proves your intent. After all, after you've got the file out, it's not as difficult to do something with it, is it? Have any projects that seem to have been at a standstill? Just do one thing today to get moving on it. You probably already know what it is!

Enjoy it...

I've got a quote on my fridge that reads, "Remember that happiness is a means of travel, not a destination". Get there - have fun on the journey. Enjoy it when you get there rather than moving straight to the next place, next goal, and next challenge. Rest a while and glory in the fabulousness of what you have achieved. Tell everyone!

...And then work out what steps you want to take next!

You've achieved it - what's next? There are always new opportunities coming our way. What opportunities are you spotting right now that you are excited about? What's your first step for that?

Happiness Is Here, Happiness Is Now

by Christiana Senibo

Are you familiar with the phrase 'I'll be happy when I ....'
More importantly, does it sound like you?

The Cambridge dictionary defines happy as: feeling, showing or causing pleasure or satisfaction. So many times we wait for something or someone to make us happy. We believe we'll be happy when we get the promotion, meet that special person, buy the house, and maybe win the lottery.

Happiness is a decision. Make that decision everyday. Irrespective of what life throws your way, you can choose your state. You and not your situations should determine whether you stay happy or not. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you won't have bad days, neither am I saying you shouldn't express your pain. I am saying irrespective of the pain and anger, choose to be happy. Acknowledge the situation (don't be in denial), express your pain (and you should) whatever way you want to, but after it's said, don't let it get the better of you. Don't let your disposition and attitude towards life become one of despair or rejection. I'm asking you to be like a thermostat which sets the temperature of a room. Whether it's hot or cold, the thermostat stays at a set temperature. It acknowledges the change in the environment; nonetheless it remains at the set temperature. The thermometer on the other hand is different; it fluctuates with different environmental conditions.

So the question is how? How do you stay happy when everything that could possibly go wrong happens? The following are some steps that have helped me stay happy in spite of:
Remember that regardless of what you are going through, someone else will gladly switch places with you. I remember listening to a song when I was younger in Nigeria where the singer complained of having sardines and beans for food. I thought to myself, oh my gosh!! I want to live in your country; where it's a sad thing to have sardines and beans for food. For me sardine and baked beans was luxury. My parents could only occasionally afford it and whenever they did it was a big deal! I would have gladly switched places with the singer.
See the opportunity in the situation. If you've been diagnosed with a terminal illness, see the opportunity life still presents by giving you time to make the most of your relationship with your loved ones. See it as a second chance to make the rest of your life great.
Decide that you are the boss of your life. Nobody and nothing (especially not pain) will take you captive without your permission. If you've acknowledged the situation and expressed your pain, then move on. Refuse to be constantly harassed by the pain or upsetting feeling. Refuse to be held captive by the pain or situation. Instead exercise your freedom by choosing a positive state.
Find the lesson. There's always a lesson hidden inside every negative situation. Finding the lesson enhances your life and makes you stronger. Don't forget life is not just about the destination, it's also about the process and who you become as a result. Finding the lesson puts the situation in perspective and makes it more manageable.
Imagine what your life would look like if you are a thermometer. You will be highly unpredictable and unreliable because one minute you are happy, then the next you are grumpy or sad; fluctuating with the different situations life throws your way. Imagine on the other hand what your life will be like if you are a thermostat, where you take control of negative experiences and decide that in spite of them you'll be happy anyway.

In the words of Martha Washington, "I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances."

As you start your week, remember that happiness is a decision. And with every negative experience you encounter, determine that you and not the situation will decide your outcome.

Happy as You Want to Be

Almost everyone have heard the hit single 'Don't Worry, Be Happy' by Bobby McFerrin. The song has a very catchy way of conveying its message of being happy to everyone. Bobby Mcferiin's simple message surely made a lot of people by telling them not to worry.

Living a happy, resilient and optimistic life is wonderful, and is also good for your health. Being happy actually protects you from the stresses of life. Stress is linked to top causes of death such as heart disease, cancer and stroke.

One of the better things ever said is - 'The only thing in life that will always remain the same is change', and in our life we have the power to make the necessary changes if we want to. Even if we find ourselves in an unbearable situation we can always find solace in the knowledge that it too would change.

Social networks or relationships are essential to happiness. People are different, accept people for who or what they are, avoid clashes, constant arguments, and let go of all kinds of resentments. If arguments seem unavoidable still try and make an effort to understand the situation and you might just get along with well with

Happiness is actually found in everyone, increasing it is a way to make a life more wonderful and also more healthy.

To be happy is relatively easy, just decide to be a happy person. Abraham Lincoln observed that most people for most of the time can choose how happy or stressed, how relaxed or troubled, how bright or dull their outlook to be. The choice is simple really, choose to be happy.

There are several ways by which you can do this.
 
Being grateful is a great attitude.  We have so much to be thankful for. Thank the taxi driver for bringing you home safely, thank the cook for a wonderful dinner and thank the guy who cleans your windows. Also thank the mailman for bringing you your mails, thank the policeman for making your place safe and thank God for being alive.

News is stressful. Get less of it. Some people just can't start their day without their daily dose of news. Try and think about it, 99% of the news we hear or read is bad news. Starting the day with bad news does not seem to be a sensible thing to do.

A religious connection is also recommended. Being part of a religious group with its singing, sacraments, chanting, prayers and meditations foster inner peace.

Manage your time. Time is invaluable and too important to waste. Time management can be viewed  as a list of rules that involves scheduling, setting goals, planning, creating lists of things to do and prioritizing. These are the core basics of time management that should be understood to develop an efficient personal time management skill. These basic skills can be fine tuned further to include the finer points of each skill that can give you that extra reserve to make the results you desire.

Laugh and laugh heartily everyday.  Heard a good joke? Tell your friends or family about it. As they also say -'Laughter is the best medicine'.
 
Express your feelings, affections, friendship and passion to people around you. They will most likely reciprocate your actions. Try not to keep pent up anger of frustrations, this is bad for your health. Instead find ways of expressing them in a way that will not cause more injury or hurt to anyone.
 
Working hard brings tremendous personal satisfaction. It gives a feeling of being competent in finishing our tasks. Accomplishments are necessary for all of us, they give us a sense of value. Work on things that you feel worthy of your time.

Learning is a joyful exercise. Try and learn something new everyday.  Learning also makes us expand and broaden our horizons. And could also give us more opportunities in the future.

Run, jog, walk and do other things that your body was made for. Feel alive.

Avoid exposure to negative elements like loud noises, toxins and hazardous places.

These are the few simple things you can do everyday to be happy.

And always remember the quote from Abraham Lincoln, he says that, "Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be."

Keeping Your Chin Up - How to Be Happy When Things Are Bad

By Frederik Kreijmborg

We all experience times when things are bad. Keeping your chin up is not easy but it's manageable if you really want to turn things around.

Let me introduce four simple methods to be happy when things are bad which work for many people every day.

1. Recall some of the good things

Life has not always been bad. When you're feeling sad about something in your present it helps tremendously to remember something from your precious past that makes you smile again.

In order to feel good you have to move on. Recalling some of the good things that happened in your life will help you regain trust in yourself. You're in control of your emotions and you should not forget that.

2. Concentrate on today

Most people feel bad about things that happened days, weeks or even years ago. But why even bother? You can't change the past. It's gone. You have to deal with the fact that your only option is moving on. Everything else will corrupt your mental health and lead to a downward spiral of sadness.

Today is the day you should live in, not yesterday, not tomorrow. Just today. This is not easy and it takes some time to get used to live in the present instead of the dreaded past or the frightening future. Once you've learned to concentrate with today (each and every day) you'll be able to feel happy again in a matter of minutes.

You should concentrate on things that you're looking forward to or that you were looking forward to before things were bad. Stimulate your positive feelings connected to any of your plans for today (or any day in the future). Stick with your plan and don't let yourself bumped off track by negativity.

3. Surround yourself with happy people

It's much easier to be happy again after something bad happens if you surround yourself with other happy and relaxed people who enjoy their own personal to-days.

We tend to stick with sad people when we're sad but this behavior is unhealthy as it creates some kind of vicious circle which makes everything much more complicated. Instead of seeking other sad people you have to find people who have a higher level of energy than yourself at the moment.

Don't be afraid: you won't steal their energy or destroy their good vibes. It's a win-win situation as the other people will probably enjoy to support you with finding the bright side of life again. People love to make other people happy because they can give themselves an imaginary pat on the back, saying: "Well done. You've done your good deed for today."

Exploit that behavior; you won't do any harm by doing so.

4. Be creative

Another very efficient method to get rid of bad feelings is being creative. Drawing, singing, writing, gardening, scrapbooking, building and all sorts of creative activities will give you a nice boost of self-esteem because you see the (positive) results of your work immediately.

If you can create a picture, a song or a poem you can also create non-physical things, e.g. emotions.

Realize that you can create something out of nothing and utilize this ability to create happy thoughts for yourself.

If this sounds like stupid mumbo jumbo you're partly right. But it doesn't hurt to try one of two of the above methods, does it?

Not As Happy As You Want To Be

by Kim Ravida

Do you love your life? Are you not as happy as you would like to be? Sometimes it's what is happening on the inside that drives what is occurring on the outside. How many times does it feel to you that your life is out of control? Stuff is happening so fast and so often. Your kids aren't listening, the dog isn't listening and your husband says you didn't tell him what you know you told him. Is it them? Or is it you?

You aren't going to like this...it is you. If you are unhappy with what is going on, the first place to look is to you. Great news though, you have the power to change it all. Yes, you do! What is going on inside is causing the turmoil on the outside. What are your thoughts about yourself? Are they positive, encouraging and supporting? Or are they more along the lines of "I can't believe I forgot that, you idiot!" I won't go on - I'm aiming for an upbeat feel here.

If your thoughts are negative and you are always putting yourself down, the chances are the negativity is all around your being. Therefore, when people aren't listening to you, you get annoyed, aggravated and even angry at them. I call that the outward manifestation of your inner being. What it really is though, is that you are truly annoyed, aggravated and angry at yourself. So, then how can you turn that around and get the results you are wanting?

Here are five tips to turn it around:

1. Remember that you have the power to change what you do not like by taking small simple steps.


2. Stop being so hard on yourself. When you hear your inner voice say something negative, stop it right there and remember a time where you felt confident.


3. Be kind and encouraging to yourself. Treat yourself as you would another person and you'll soon shift to a better inner feeling.


4. Start talking to yourself in a more positive and supporting way.


5. Begin to pay attention to how you are being with others. Are you showing up in a negative, unloving way and if so, shift that to a positive and loving manner.

Through your actions, what you will begin to see is a transformation in yourself. You will see that you are communicating clearly and that others are really listening.  It's almost like magic and truly beautiful.  You will notice yourself responding differently to others, and others responding to you in a good, positive, very pleasing way. We see the outer part of ourselves so often we forget that we have an inner self as well.  Once we treat our inner self with respect, patience and love, we transform not only ourselves but those around us.  We see the world as a place of beauty; a vast area to live and breathe openly and with great joy.

What Everyone Should Know About Happiness and How to Achieve It

By Kelvon Yeezy

Are you a Happy Person?

Two things for certain, you are not a happy person and you really do not know what a happy person is.

The concept of "Happiness" is misunderstood by many. On the one hand, you find a lot of people spending countless hours of their lives in order to earn enough money to achieve the state of happiness or to stay away from factors that might bring to them unhappiness.

On the other hand, you find people who are struggling to get the meaningful state of happiness, thinking that attaining high achievements and prospects, such as, fancy cars, beautiful apartments and high payment jobs can bring them into a happy life.

Everyone wants to be happy, if you have the fancy life you always desired and you are still an unhappy person, then all your major achievements are worthless. A doubt emerges on everyone's mind - What is Happiness and how to access to its grand state.

Happiness is a satisfactory state of emotion. So are love, excitement, interest and passion. All the emotions have causes and methods to control and manipulate them. It is not a satisfactory emotion caused by fulfilling your whims.

The following tips are worth being implemented to swerve to the grand state of happiness. Here they are.

Always Be Optimistic

Optimism towards life is very important to achieve happiness. Life is dynamic, we go through good and bad times, ups and downs and we still have the strength to overcome its variation.

Looking only at the negative sides of your life assuming that the whole world is against you, will have a negative consequence on your life and will eventually divert you from attaining happiness.

Let go of the past, stay focused on your present and look ahead of your future

If you have gone through a lot of disappointment, compunction, suffering and pain in the past, it does not mean that your present will be fulfilled by the same painful moments. Forget about the past, that will not make any progress in your life. You should look towards the present and your surroundings and plan a sparkling and happy future.

Life is too short... enjoy it while you are still breathing

Enjoy every single moment that life offers you. Avoid being pessimistic, which will only make you remember the negative sides and block you from focusing on solutions of major problems that impede you from cultivating the state of happiness.

Happiness can be achieved by fulfilling one's value. Paying attention to your personal needs, indulging your passion, finding lovely and optimistic friends, enjoying a simple life, are among the practices that help to bolster a feeling of happiness.

The Secrets to Happiness - Be Unconditionally Happy

Author: Broderick Boyd

Today I want to talk to you about another powerful concept that will help you to stop being unhappy in life, to stop being depressed and to stop being anxious and actually start being truly HAPPY, become more attractive and also more productive. This powerful concept is called "be unconditionally happy".

Most people put conditions on their life happiness. They say that they need to be financially successful or they need to be married or they need to have a certain house or car or achievement in order to allow themselves to be happy. This is a painful mistake that will actually lead to them being less effective and less able to achieve the things that they want to achieve in their lives. If you always depend on something external to make you happy, you will never be happy and you will always be suffering, in part because even if you do have that thing outside of you, you will then always worry about losing it. Here are 3 powerful techniques that will help you to master this principle:

Happiness is a Choice

We can choose to be happy. Happiness is simply a matter of choice. All we have to do is decide that we are going to allow ourselves to be happy, and then we can feel that way right now. Happiness IS the path to happiness, and by making the choice to allow ourselves to BE a happy person, and to live a happy life, we can really have this beautiful kind of life and live it every day.

Let it All Go and Just Be Happy

The next powerful technique is to simply let it all go. Let all of the negativity go. If you have any negative thoughts, negative beliefs, negative feelings, negative relationships or any other negative things in your life, simply just let it go. It's just like holding a pen in your hand, and then dropping that pen to the ground. Once you let all of the negativity go and just let it float away without resisting it, your natural happy self will emerge, and you will be unconditionally happy.

It's Your Responsibility to Be Happy

It's your responsibility to be happy. You are responsible for this, because you make the ultimate CHOICE if you are going to be happy or not. You must choose to be happy, because when you are happy, you make the world a better place. You begin to spread your happiness automatically, since emotions are contagious, and you become much more productive and you affect positive change in the world. You also inspire others to be happy, and they in turn become more productive and inspire others as well. Change the world for the better by knowing that it's your responsibility to be happy on this planet.

So that's the concept, be unconditionally happy. Stop being unhappy, stop putting conditions on your happiness, stop being depressed and stop being anxious and start creating more inspiration in your life and in the world, become far more attractive and also increase your productivity and effectiveness exponentially by being unconditionally happy today. Make the choice to be happy, let all of the negativity go in your life and in your mind, and know that it's your responsibility to be happy, if you truly want to make the universe a better place for all of us, and especially yourself, to live in, to grow, and to flourish in a truly beautiful way.

How to Celebrate The Joy of Everyday

By: Roseanna Leaton

Every day brings fresh happenings, unique situations and circumstances to those who look at the world with new eyes. Every day carries with it many opportunities to find and to create joy, so long as this is the outcome that you seek.


A gentleman in a store asked me the other day how the day was going for me. I provided a one-word answer - "perfect". A look of surprise came over his face and then he admitted that I was the first person who had provided that answer in the two year period that he had asked the same rhetorical question of every customer who stood on the opposite side of his counter.


Apparently most people respond that their day is pretty average, so-so or in fact pretty awful. Few people state that their day is going well, let alone that it is great or perfect. Don't you find that sad?


An octogenarian friend whom I admire greatly often quips, "If you're not having fun it's your own fault". Some people work their way through life with endless curiosity, humor and enthusiasm whilst others sadly do not. Living with an attitude of childlike wonder and joy makes life so much better in very many ways; it's more fun, more enjoyable and a whole lot easier on the mind and body.


The people who have this light and bright attitude do always acknowledge that their attitude is their own choice. They recognize that they have chosen to view their world in this way. In contrast, those who have a bleaker outlook on life tend to believe that they do not have a choice in this matter, that life has thrown them a tough, difficult or unfair hand.


Once you realize that you do have a choice in how you view circumstances, irrespective of how good or bad those circumstances happen to be, you will find that a huge weight is simultaneously lifted from your shoulders. You immediately step out from beneath black and threatening clouds and instead find that you can see blue sky and bright sunlight.


Happiness comes from within. Happiness does not derive from circumstances or events; rather, it comes from choosing to see your world in a relaxed, comfortable and positive manner. In choosing to take responsibility for the way in which you think, you free yourself to enjoy the inherent beauty of your world.

Boost Your Self Esteem!

by Scott Beckstead

When you consider that low self-esteem is usually the result of negative messages being absorbed by the subconscious, it makes sense that feeding your mind more positive messages can make a powerful difference!

What stops most people is the uncertainty of what to say, and how to word affirmations for optimal effectiveness. Below you'll find some simple tips to help you write effective affirmations for improving your self-esteem.

1) Present tense. First, it's helpful to word affirmations in present tense, not future. You wouldn't want to say, 'I will learn to love myself' because that makes it sound like you'll get around to it someday. Instead you could say, 'I choose to love myself'. The wording of that affirmation does two things: it empowers you with the addition of the words 'choose to', and it puts the timeframe in the present moment.

2) Believable. At the same time, your affirmations should be believable to you. If you tried to say, I am a wonderful person with a lot to offer the world, you may not really believe that, so your subconscious mind might reject it. Instead, try to focus on a process rather than an end result in your affirmations. Say something like, I am learning to embrace my uniqueness and share it confidently with others.

3) Use the right tone. When you recite affirmations, you can do so aloud or just mentally, but you should focus heavily on the TONE you use. Rather than saying the words without emotion like you were reading a newspaper really inject an element of love and tenderness into them. Your subconscious mind picks up on the emotional aspect of what youíre saying more than the actual words. Imagine the difference between saying the words, ìI really love myselfî with a tone of love and compassion, or sarcasm. Which do you think would have a greater impact on your subconscious mind?

4) Repetition. Once you've got some affirmations formed to work on your self-esteem, try saying them several times a day. Remember, your subconscious mind is constantly playing back old, negative messages so you want to counteract those as much as possible. Keep reciting your more positive thoughts on a regular basis - especially when you become aware that youíre thinking negatively about yourself.

5) Give it time. Finally, remember that it will take time to change those old, negative messages in your mind to something more positive. It may take a few weeks or even months before youíll notice an obvious difference in how you feel, and you may be tempted to think it isn't working. Keep with it, and you will begin to see a difference eventually! Most likely it will be a gradual change. Little by little you'll start feeling more positive, and notice that you're feeling a bit happier and lighter. That's your signal that it's working!

Choose Happiness Now

Do circumstances need to change before you allow happiness into your life? The majority of us have many preconceived ideas which we think will make us happier, however we steadfastly refuse to be convinced or satisfied until such things happen.

A common stumbling block however is the fact that even if certain things happen to us, we’re rarely satisfied with the outcome! Our focus then shifts to even bigger and better things which we believe will makes us more happy or happier. We don’t allow ourselves to reach a degree of contentment. I have no doubt many of you have done the same thing!

Only you can decide to Choose Happiness Now even if your life is far from perfect. I have listed below 3 easy ways to adopt this way of thinking:


1) Show Gratitude

To show gratitude, allows you to use one of the most powerful states of mind.
It allows a feel good factor, which shifts your focus from what you don’t have to what you DO have. Once you focus on the things you are grateful for in your life (even the most trivial things!), you concern yourself less about anything that may be missing or lacking. The end result brings about a more pleasing sense of happiness.

2) Take time to chill out.

If most of your days are spent rushing here, there and everywhere, the likelihood is you will find it hard to feel happy and content. To find true happiness, there is a need to allow yourself the time to relax and enjoy the pleasures of life’s simpler moments. Why not start today, spend some time on a regular basis doing the things you love to do. Perhaps read books; listen to your favourite music; if you’re the outdoor type, take long walks or ride a bicycle, just make an effort to enjoy your life right now.

3) Enjoy the journey.

The majority of people today often make the mistake of allowing some vague expectation, such as the completion of pre-determined goals and believe once these are accomplished and they have ‘arrived’ everything is going to be perfect and they will find happiness. Don’t get me wrong, setting goals is essential, however there is also plenty to be gained by enjoying the journey that leads to reaching your goals. Decide right now to enjoy this journey, make it special and you’ll savour the end result even more.



Happiness like many other things in life is your CHOICE, once you have understood this, you will have taken a big step to a happier state of mind. I know certain situations sometimes dictate our feelings and make it difficult to feel happy, most often or not it’s the silly little things that block our happiness which we would otherwise feel. Make HAPPINESS you’re No 1 priority and watch it grow in your life!

3 Simple Ways To Reclaim Your Power Author: Nathan Amaral

The really good news is that it doesn't have to be some long, grueling process. You can start today by doing these three simple things:

Become still

In the fast paced world we live in, it's easy to get caught up in the chaos. There is nonstop noise and endless distractions that can take you away from what's really important. It can also drown out your inner voice, the connection you have to who you are at the very core of your being. It's when this connection is severed that you start to feel disconnected from the world around you, disconnected from yourself, and powerless over the direction your life is headed.

In order to restore the connection, you must learn to be still. Spend time alone with your thoughts, without any distractions or noise. This allows you tap into your innermost being, your true self. It's here where your true power lies.

Take responsibility for your life

It's easy to fall into the trap of becoming a victim – of thinking that we are powerless over the events in our life. After all, this mindset is perpetuated by society, the media, and many of our friends and families. The truth, however, is that we have complete control over the only thing that matters – how we choose to respond to unexpected events that occur.

The reality is that all events are neutral – they are neither good nor bad. It's how we perceive them that matters. For instance, someone losing their job could see it as a disaster of epic proportions – or they could see it as a chance to finally start their own business they've been dreaming about for years.

Obviously there are things like losing a loved one or dealing with a traumatic event that are extremely difficult to go through, but you still have the ability to choose to find the good in the situation and not be held hostage by your emotions.     

Start taking a look at how you view the things that happen in your life, and decide right now to never be a victim again.            

Be Happy in the Present

Many of us spend our days pining over our past or yearning for a future event that hasn't yet occurred. We feel like our best years are behind us – or that we can only enjoy our lives and feel satisfied when x occurs – a new job, a relationship, etc. It's a mindset that stifles the pleasure of living in the moment and causes you to delay or deny your happiness in just being.

When you attach conditions to your happiness it means you are looking for fulfillment outside of yourself - and you will never find it there. You must look within to find real joy, in the present moment, before you can ever move forward into the life you deserve.

When you choose to put these three simple steps into motion, a huge shift will occur in your life – you will be approaching situations from a position of power and your life will be transformed in the process.
