Increasing Your Inner Beauty

Increasing Your Inner Beauty Time and again we hear that our real quality is not in making the physical body attractive, but in increasing our inner beauty. We all know deep down that a person's inner beauty is more valuable than their physical appearance. Yet today the society is using cosmetics, makeup and even surgeries to look beautiful.  1. Do take care of your body to appear presentable. But focus more on inner beauty, which is the collective vibrations of your thoughts, feelings, attitude, behaviours, habits, values and personality traits. 2. Meditate every morning and study spiritual knowledge for at least 20 minutes to consciously create powerful, pure and positive thoughts. It's your quality of thinking which creates your feelings, and that will automatically reflect in your appearance. 3. If your physical weight increases, the first result is that your physical appearance is affected. In the same way, if your thoughts are heavy and pile up, then your inner beauty is affected. After every hour, pause to check for any thoughts of stress, anger, fear, worry or pain. Change them immediately. 4. Take care of yourself, have a healthy lifestyle, be cheerful, help others, and remain light. Your facial expressions, eyes, smile, gestures and body language are the indicators of who you are in the inside – pure and powerful. Message for the day To be victorious means to pass obstacles with ease. Expression: The ones who aim to become victorious never think of not being faced with obstacles.  Instead they look at each obstacle as a chance to use and express their own inner powers.  So there is constant progress visible in them. Experience: When I am prepared for the inevitable challenges that life brings, I will not experience fear, tension or anxiety but will always be confident and fearless.  Apart from actually being victorious in the situation, I also experience winning over my weaknesses and discovering new powers within me.

Don't Postpone Your Happiness

Don't Postpone Your Happiness Happiness is the one feeling we all seek to have at every moment. Yet, we ourselves make it conditional by programming our mind to postpone happiness, until something desirable happens. By postponing happiness to a point in future when our desires would be fulfilled, we spend our present worrying about what if our goal is not achieved. And where there is fear, happiness cannot exist.  Sit back and see how you train your mind to experience happiness all along your journey, while achieving your goals. Affirmation -  I am a happy being. I am happy in every scene of life. I play so many roles…have so many responsibilities…set so many goals…I take care of my state of mind while working on all of them… I remain happy and then do everything. My happiness is not dependent on my accomplishments, possessions or relationships. I don't postpone happiness to until my goal is reached. I don't wait for happiness…search for it…chase it… look to buy it… demand it…postpone it…or tie it to an accomplishment. Happiness is within me…it is my choice…it is my creation. Irrespective of people's behaviors…irrespective of situations…I remain happy. I remain happy before setting a goal…while working on the goal…after reaching the goal. Happiness is in my way of thinking along the way… my happiness radiates to my situations…influences a positive outcome…makes me successful. Even if I don't reach my goal, I remain happy…my state of mind is not dependent on anything outside of me. I don't need to do anything to be happy… I am a happy being. Repeat this affirmation a few times not to not put off your happiness to another day. When you take charge of your happiness, you will find joy in everything you do. You will appreciate every experience and boost your positivity. Message for the day Concentration develops when the intellect is clean and clear. Expression: For the one whose intellect continues to wander, concentration becomes difficult or impossible. On the other hand, for the one who is focused on one thing there are no other distractions at that time and there is easy concentration. Experience: When I am able to remain focused, I am not troubled by distractions which lessen my concentration. Instead I am able to increase my discrimination power and am able to decide and judge well. This happens because my intellect becomes clean and gets cleared of waste.

Don’t Criticize People, Correct Them With Respect

Don't Criticize People, Correct Them With Respect We hold the purest intention for everyone, but we project our frustration by criticizing people when they are not our way. Criticism has vibrations of anger or rejection, so apart from creating hurt in the one being criticized, it depletes our inner power. If we remain stable and give the same feedback, it's beneficial. Have you been in an interaction where you gave the finest of feedbacks possible, yet the other person understood it as criticism and rejection? Is your instruction or suggestion often thought to be harsh and insulting? Does that make you stop advising people, as you are unsure how to relay it effectively? When giving feedback, how we say it matters more than what we say. Our intentions for family, friends and colleagues is pure, but we need to take care of our energy when conveying the feedback. If we are critical, the other person becomes defensive, depleted and hurt. He holds us responsible for the pain and the negativity radiates back to us.    Criticism is emotional abuse. It targets the person and rarely focuses on their act. We need to give feedback with an energy of understanding, love and respect so that the other person accepts it and becomes willing to transform. The next time people behave or work in different ways which do not match your definition of right, empower them. Speak softly, use fewer words and guide them. Remind yourself - I empower people with my polite and helpful feedback. I create transformation and earn their blessings. Accept people and finish criticism. Shift from controlling and authoritative ways, to being compassionate and caring. Once you stop criticizing, you will increase your ability to appreciate life more. Remind yourself - I correct people with respect and dignity. I give feedback on the task that has gone wrong and help them to correct. Message for the day To have tolerance means to be stable. Expression: When one is faced with defamation or insult, tolerance gives the power to be stable and cool. And so there is the ability to smile even when there is negativity that comes. Tolerance means to see beyond the insults because of being stable in the stage of self-respect. Experience: When faced with criticism, if I am able to be stable in my stage of self-respect, I am able to learn from every negative remark that comes my way. I will never become defensive, but will be able to see clearly what new learning I could take.
