'Happiness is a journey, not a destination'. One’s individuality
sets one apart from others based on values. The interpersonal conflicts are
best avoided by moving beyond comparisons & accepting the differences.
Blaming others, hanging on to resentments, holding someone or something
responsible for own feelings erodes one’s peace of mind leaving little energy
to devote to personal development.
Take
a few moments to reflect on how another person makes you feel. Our well-being
is generally influenced by those around us. Be honest with self about own
feelings, have greater insight into the quality of social interactions &
their energetic effect. Some of the people we deal with are a joy to be with
& their loving presence nurtures & encourages us. Others may have the
opposite effect, draining us of our energy thus sapping our strength and making
us feel tired & exhausted.
In fact the kind of thoughts one harbors significantly affects
relationships with others. One fuming with hatred or bitter with cynicism drives
others away from himself/herself whereas one bursting with affection &
bubbling with optimism draws others near to himself/herself. One’s disinterest
lets the other person withdraw his/her own interest in you and even turn
disdainful of you whereas exhibiting
keen interest flatters the other person as everybody enjoys being
admired, regardless of whom the admirer is. The sympathetic frame of mind
towards the other person instantly makes him/her feel that there is a common
bond and helps in developing a healthy relationship.
Surround
yourselves with positive people in order to clear away the negativity that
exists around and envelope yourself in a supportive & healing space that
fosters greater growth, understanding & love of yourselves in order to infuse
your lives with greater happiness. We experience peace when we are in a
state of mental calm and serenity. Consciously set aside your worries, as the
clutter of your thoughts & concerns clear away, you will start to feel more
calm & serene. Cultivate inner peace; you have the power to free yourself
from anxiety simply by deciding to do so.
Laughter
brings with it a host of positive effects that operate on both the physical
& mental levels. Laughing involves the body, emotions & the soul. It is
also fun, expressive, & a way to release minor physical & mental
stresses. Learn to laugh in the present moment, it shall make life seem less
serious and you’ll find that joy is always there.
