5 Steps: How to Stay Sane in Insane Situations

Image
  How To Stay Sane In Insane Situations Step 1 - Stop: Before you run to solve everything, stop for a while all of your rollercoaster of thoughts. Never act from a point of stress and overwhelm, take a moment to relax, take a deep breath and only then decide what to do next. When you stop all processes and let your mind calm down for at least 10 minutes, you will open a space for clarity. Allow yourself at least 10 minutes of just sitting down and not thinking at all. Let go for just 10 minutes of all your problems and emotions, what someone said to you, what you did to someone. Let yourself just BE for a little while. Let all the shouting voices in your head die out, leaving only the quiet and calm one, and listen only to it. Step 2 -   Journal, brain dump: Now, take a notebook and write down all that is coming to your mind, don't stop until you finish 2 or 3 full  pages. After this, you will feel relief from the number of problems you think you have. Now you will be abl...

8 Helpful ways to get out of a negative loop fast

8 Helpful Ways To Get Out Of A Negative Loop Fast 1. Stop thinking about and analyzing yourself: When you stop all thinking processes you open a place of mindful choice of your next thought. Usually, when I realize a string of dumb actions and decisions, I start self-analyzing, which never helped me to avoid the next dumb action. When I spend much of my time thinking "how I am", I miss opportunities to make things right. These opportunities will always come up and be available to us to pick them up and act on them, but if we are focused on self analyzation all the time we will miss them. What to do instead? Focus on the reality without referring it to yourself and how you or others will see you. For example: "I should offer my husband to prepare him a sandwich for work because if I don't, I am a selfish wife". Instead: "How does my husband feel right now? what does he want and need? what would make him happy?" It is not as simple as it seems when tryi...

Top 10 energy wasting things you must avoid

  Energy efficiency: How to be more energized throughout the day?  How to be more energy efficient? How to be more mindful about spending energy? Top 10 energy wasting things you must avoid: The physical aspect: 1. Lack of mindful sleep timing: Lack of set sleeping and waking time: Our brain creates automated sets of actions, it includes timing the "wake up" command and the "sleep" command. We can work either with  or against  our brain. If we work against it, we inefficiently waste energy. But if we decide to work with it and use its power we can accumulate more energy for other, more important tasks in our day. To work with the brain we should understand the importance of automation. Give the brain consistency and a fixed pattern and it will do the work for you. You actually can teach your brain to automatically send certain hormones through your body at a certain time. Actions to take: Set a fixed and realistic "fall asleep" and "wake up" time...

  The power of the 3: Journaling, Meditating, and Reading. In more than 10 years of journaling, trying all kinds of meditation, and reading all sorts of different books, I've come to the ultimate combination of the three to make all components work. Journaling Here's the best guide I have ever seen about journaling Some  of the benefits of journaling: Builds pattern of thought -  Helps to build a stable and fluent pattern of thought. Making processing thoughts a more rational and consistent stream, rather than gasps of inconsistent wind swirls. You will notice with time your thoughts are more organized as sentences that are easier to listen to and understand than before. Builds self-awareness -  Awareness of emotions, and awareness of actions and their outcomes. Mirrors your mind to you -   when practicing it right, and with full honesty and zero censorship. Helps process information and emotions - We constantly receive a huge stream of information into our...

ResponsAbility - What does it mean to be Responsible for my Life?

Image
Question: My partner tells me I am responsible for how I feel, especially when I'm upset. What does it mean to be responsible for your feeling and for your life? How do I take responsibility for my life? You should be very proud of yourself for asking this question, it means you are already taking responsibility for your life in asking "HOW". The most important things you should acknowledge first: You ARE the creator of your reality. You have the power to CHOOSE your reactions no matter what the trigger is. You attract MORE of what you ARE. Where your thoughts are is where you are headed. You have the power to decide how to feel at any given moment. When asking how do I take responsibility for my life, you are actually asking how to create the life that I want, and not live the life that I am given. How do I choose how I live instead of reacting automatically?   How to create your desired reality? The simple answer is CHOOSE every step, CHOOSE your responses, your thought...

How do I know what is the right thing for me to do?  It depends where you are right now emotionally and how aligned you are to yourself. The most important things you should acknowledge first: You can ALWAYS receive guidance from the universe/ from within yourself. You have the ability to shift your emotions and thoughts in an instant by merely willing it. Nothing works out as you would want it to when acting from negative emotions and rush. Your inner being ALWAYS knows what is the best thing for you at any given moment, you only need to hear it. When asking how do I know what is the right thing for me to do, you are actually asking for a feeling of clarity and confidence.   How to gain clarity? The simple answer is you need to get into a certain state of mind and only from that place you would be able to HEAR your inner guidance. What is the right state of mind I need t...
