Identify Negative Influences to reduce the impact of negativity.

HOW TO IDENTIFY AND DEAL WITH NEGATIVITY

The thoughts shape the emotions and the actions. It is hard to perceive goodness in situations, people, and the self when negativity dominates the mind. Indeed, a negative mind will not create positive vibes. It is tough to fight the negativities in the mind, but it is very imperative for amelioration of mental health and improvement in living.

Let us discuss when a negative mindset blocks positive vibes. 

How to find a person with a negative mindset?

 

Following are the common signs that one may have when having a predominantly negative mindset:

(1) Negative thinking focuses on problems rather than looking for solutions and can even create a sense of helplessness or frustration. A negative mind mostly complains about situations, people, or life itself without showing any kind of will to solve problems or effect change.

(2) A negative mind most of the time expects the worst outcomes and orients itself toward conceivable problems rather than opportunities. And if you think things will go wrong, you may unconsciously act in ways that make this happen: negative expectations can lead to negative outcomes.

(3) A negative mind will always tend to shift the blame onto others for their problems or mistakes and seldom take responsibility for one's actions. This strains relationship since it leads to criticism, blame, and conflict features that wear down interaction.

(4) You will always find a negative person saying that they are victims of circumstance, believing that they have no control over their lives and that others are responsible for their unhappiness. They promptly judge or criticize others, mostly pointing out their flaws and faults as opposed to strengths and successes. 

Their conversations often dwell on gossip, complaints, or negative news. They often do not show enthusiasm or excitement about life and may more than often come off indifferently or apathetically.

The time spent with such people often leaves you feeling drained or down, since their negativity is contagious. Setting healthy boundaries in place can help safeguard a person's well-being while still supporting others.

It is also very important to avoid negative people to maintain your mental peace and well-being.

Strategies that can help you minimize the impact of negative individuals upon your life:

Whenever one meets someone, he should notice the behavioural aspects and how he feels after being with the person. If in contact with certain people, he feels stress, anxiety, or sadness is already a hint of their negative influence. 

Evaluate a relationship and judge whether it's more draining than supportive. And in case one finds that the person has negative traits, then comes the importance of limiting your boundaries. 

Here, I have a few suggestions for you to deal with such people.

A) Have a gentle yet firm manner of stating your need for space or boundary. An example would be, "I need some time to myself" or "I would not want to discuss anything negative".

B) Lessen interaction with negative individuals. For those who are coworkers or relatives you couldn't help but steer clear of, interactions would be strictly professional or when it would be absolutely necessary to do so.

C) Unfollow or mute all those negative people on social media who just post negativity and comment negatively.

D) Avoid discussing topics of a negative nature. You can respond with neutrally phrased comments like, "I'm so sorry to hear that." In most cases, you won't need to further contribute to the negativity. OR If the conversations are not going your way, usually ending up in negativity, try to steer them back toward more positive or at least neutral subjects.


E) Learn to express yourself and your needs with confidence without feeling intimidated or at fault; never stay 'yes' to all situations and requests that hamper your mental peace.


Changing the negative mindset to a positive one involves a very long process, and for that, one needs to put in continuous effort and patience. You as human beings cannot change others' people. Then, the only option you are left with is to avoid negative people to maintain your own mental peace and well-being.
You diffuse much of the negativity through the creation of positive space, healthy boundaries, positive communications, and activities that uplift you and others. Remember that change takes time, and even small actions, when performed regularly, can cultivate a more positive, enriching environment.

Cooking and Cleaning: Basic Life Skills Beyond Gender

Conception of gender has always been associated with cooking and cleaning in diverse cultures.

 However, as we forge ahead into the 21st century, it has become crystal clear that these indeed are life skills that everyone should know irrespective of gender. 

 Why these skills are important  for everyone to learn

Let us investigate why these skills are important and how they will blow every thought of gender-based stereotyping to smithereens.

 For sure! They contribute to individual well-being, household management, and overall quality of life.

 Why is that so? 

Well, cooking is an art and one of the means of cultural expression. It should not be clearly framed in terms of the division of labour assigned according to gender roles. 

Everyone deserves an opportunity to explore different cuisines and ways of preparing them. Cooking is not only about preparing a meal, it is more like taking care of nourishment for one's self and others with a well-balanced diet. 

Being a country like India with immense cultural heritage, the pattern of eating out varies drastically from region to region, and the varieties are endless: ingredients, flavour profiles, and methods of cooking all vary by region. 

This cooking skill will help people appreciate such traditions but at the same time make food nutritious and suitable for personal and regional requirements of nutrition. 

Cleanliness: It is very important for hygiene and health. A clean living environment keeps away diseases and helps maintain general health.
Cooking and cleaning are forms of taking care of oneself and the environment a person is living in. 

Such skills allow them the power to be able to keep pace with a sound and functional lifestyle. 

You Become independent

In this fast, busy world of today, being independent is something that greatly contributes to personal growth and empowerment.

For instance, cooking and cleaning mean an individual can fend for themselves in the world, never needing to depend on other people to accomplish ordinary tasks. 

This could be the ability to take care of one's needs without seeking help from others; such autonomy carries immense significance in developing and maturing as an entity. 

Be it a quick breakfast before rushing to work or a neat and clean home environment, these skills instil a sense of self-reliance and confidence in the empowerment of individuals in taking care of their daily lives.

Organizing  and time management

In modern-day lifestyles, household activities like cooking and cleaning are shared among everyone. 

This creates teamwork between them and respect for other members of the family, therefore providing a healthier place to live in.
These skills provide good time management and organizing potential which, therefore, is helpful even at professional and personal levels.

Breaking Stereotypes

Traditionally, cooking and cleaning have been identified as gender-specific jobs in many cultures. However, this trend has been changing over time. 

More and more households are opening their eyes to the reality that such skills are important for any individual, irrespective of gender identity.

Each region had its specialities and ways of preparing them, passed down through generations. Embracing these traditions by learning how to cook not only connects one with one's roots but also makes people more appreciative of diversity and inclusion.
Besides the cultural significance of learning cooking and cleaning, it also imparts very practical life management skills to an individual. 

Acquiring these skills should be invaluable in modern competitive life scenarios, such as trying to balance work with personal obligations or trying to maintain a household efficiently. They instil organization, time management, and resourcefulness in an individual, which is fruitful in helping one lead a wholesome and industrious life.

Henceforth, we will have to sustain this message: that cooking and cleaning are life skills and the need for people from all walks of life to adopt them for their importance in daily life. In that way, not only are we empowering ourselves, but also contributing to making a more inclusive, progressive, and equitable society where all can thrive and meaningfully contribute. 

These skills help individuals to be independent, healthy, and well; whoever accomplishes these, is of no consequence.

Education systems can very effortlessly dismantle gender stereotypes. Schools can also include these in their curriculum so that boys and girls both know how to cook and clean when young enough.
For that, families provide the basic units where such changes can be encouraged. In this regard, children should be involved in household chores irrespective of their gender. Parents also need to share responsibilities with one another so that kids understand that cooking and cleaning are not gender-related but survival skills.

Some of the life skills, such as cooking and cleaning, should not be left to males and females but need to be considered as vital ingredients for an equitable society. 

Such abilities help in personality building, good health, and economic stability. Changes need to be welcomed and encouraged from top to bottom as society proceeds into greater modernity.

Mind Your Own Business

"Mind Your Own Business": The Art of Personal Boundaries

There is a lot of sense in the saying, "Mind your own business." It very often directs our attention towards our life and holds us back from poking our noses into somebody else's life. It is respect for boundaries: respecting the worth of basics of social grace, respect for space, and respect for individual autonomy.

Each has his journey to undertake and his own obstacles to cross. Minding one's own business does not interlope into the affairs and decisions of other people. It is then that a person can be free from worries and not take the extra burden and unnecessary concerns, by being worried about only his business and nothing of other people. We, in this way, facilitate those people being with us and make them feel comfortable, making them create a notion of trust and respect for us in their minds.

Encourages real connection

This approach encourages real connections and does so with empathy and understanding, not superficial curiosity or judgment. Respecting boundaries also means some people don't want unsolicited advice.

Encourages self-refinement

However, "mind your own business" essentially has the interests of the people at heart. Minding our business will, therefore, make us focus on individual efforts and aspirations. The mentality that develops from focusing is self-empowerment and self-confidence because one can take full charge of their decisions and actions.

In other words, acting in concert with what's in the best interest of ourselves and what we care about our personal goals, good relationships, or other's well-being will add to our fulfilment and content.

In this fast-moving and changing world, with so many different distractions, engaging in personal pursuits can lead to more satisfaction and success. This allows people to use their strengths and talents constructively in their own lives and communities.

No Drama

This is what happens quite often when one pry into other people's business and, in return, gets unnecessary drama or misunderstandings. Not to mention the frequent act of gossiping or spreading rumours.

 Equality and Decency

In showing respect by keeping away from other individual's business, one observes the rule of equality and decency when relating to others. It sets an environment wherein all consider a person worthy for what he is and not for what one does or is in life.

"Minding one's own business" is not merely a phrase, but much more, it's a principle to upraise respect, personal growth, and peaceful coexistence.

 Let's abide by this, regarding minding our own business, for us to make a difference in ourselves and others.

The Inner Flow

 A Force Flowing Within

It is not just for living that one is alive. ''It is a current running within each of us''. This force enables one to work; to be active, and makes one feel alive, part of the universe. By having the ability to comprehend this inner force human beings are given the ability to live a better life and have a better and higher purpose."There is a spiritual essence within every person.", is a vital principle that is the real self of man, the soul of life. It is an energy in the depth of each person’s soul, defining who they are and to whom they belong. Life has a spiritual aspect that goes beyond the physical. It connects us to everything that exists and taps into a powerful force at its core.

Emotions and Mind

The inner force of life is also manifested in our emotions and mind. It is the interest that we feel when we are engaged in something we enjoy, the sense of empowerment that comes with facing a challenge, and the innovative solutions that arise in our minds. One can identify with it when one comprehensively tries to understand the feelings and thoughts involved.

In the aspects of emotions and psychology, the force of life is well-recognized in sensations, encouraging factors, and goals that make people satisfied with their lives. It is the cause of our pleasure and pain, love and fear. It is a natural force that drives people’s actions and choices. This energy might become a source of power that leads to self-realisation if we can identify it and use it.

Spiritual Views

This inner force is also really spiritual. People from different religious cultures know this source from one or another concept. In Hinduism, this is referred to as ‘Prana,’ meaning the energy which actually permeates the Universe and its beings. It is then considered as the wireless life energy that links everyone. The soul is the link we have to all forms of life, as we are all tied to a single spirit.

This way we understand the link and can coexist peacefully with other people as well as the environment striving for the common goal.

Personal Enrichment

When we use our inner strength, we take control of our personal growth and learning. This involves developing ourselves, transforming, and gaining knowledge by facing challenges, learning, and seeking deliverance or spiritual awakening, also known as realization. This includes the happy and the sad moments in life, and each of the moments makes us a better person and helps us discover the mysteries of life.

To cultivate spiritual strength, consistent practice of meditation, prayer, and yoga can give positive results. Volunteer work, saying thank you to someone, doing something nice for somebody, improving communication with nature, doing some inner reflection, or meditation will help the person connect with the inner force.

Imagine if life were a powerful force residing deep within us, compelling us to delve into the profound depths of our motivations. To foster this inner drive Meditation and mindfulness are central to the process as by meditating and stilling one’s mind one can reach inside and feel the flow of the spirit. 

While on the contrary mindfulness is the awareness limited to the present moment to strengthen the link with the internal source and achieve balance and calmness."To enable countless individuals and their communities to lead more meaningful, interconnected lives." This outlook changes life into a process – a fluidic process full of opportunities and meaning.

       THE ART OF LIVING WITH JOY

"Enjoying the joyful life."

It is worth stating that joyful living is an art that can be used to change our reality and make it better and worth living. It is not about attaining pleasure or pleasure activities but about happiness and happiness activities that are more long-term throughout one’s life. 

Here are some essential principles to help you master the art of living with joy. Here are some essential principles to help you master the art of living with joy: 

  1. Savour the Simple Pleasure 

 It is no wonder that happiness tends to be discovered in tiny things. Be present in a moment and admire the beauty of sunny weather, food that you have prepared or received an uplifting word from a friend. These little things that go unnoticed in our day-to-day lives make it special and happy. In the morning it might be the sun, or in the cup of coffee or even being able to share a joke that may be very fulfilling. 

 If we always spare time to acknowledge and cherish such little incidences in life, we can change our natures into being happier. 

 

 2 Build Meaningful Connections 

 Saying that people matter for happiness is a message we convey to children. This means that having time for people you care for is some sort of key to happiness. Catch up with friends and popcorn and watch a movie or read a book together Sometimes all that is required is to share some jovial moments with friends and or relatives in simple things like watching some movies or just reading books. 

 That means that the quality of the relationships is much more important than the number of people who are on your friend list. 

 

 3. Do What You Love 

 The things which make you happy, in other words, mean you should do what you love. Chasing after the thing that interests you in life can be very fulfilling. Just imagine that you are painting, gardening, writing or playing any musical instrument, it so feels very satisfying if you spend some time on these activities. 

 This will also make us happy and this will also make us realize that is worthwhile doing some things in life. 

 

 4. Practice Gratitude 

 Ap About expressing and genuinely being grateful for what one has. Every morning prioritize a few things that you are thankful for. It may be your family, your health or even a shelter over your head, the affection of the close ones as well as the beautiful nature around you. 

 For enhancing joy, gratitude is a powerful tool.

Acknowledging these blessings can significantly uplift your spirits.

5. Be optimistic 

 Just infer positive from whatever situation you find yourself in, or as a goal, aim at looking at the positive side of life. One can learn to have a positive outlook on life and this will enable one to be able to stand some of the tests that come with such experiences. . . Positive thinking or looking for good in every situation, searching for reasons to be happy can make you joyful even in times like these. It is important to have a positive attitude while undergoing these challenging times so that the person can overcome them. 

 What this approach is: It can make you remain happy even in the worst moments of life. 

 

 6. Be Attentive to the Current Moment 

 You should not have much concern about what happened in the past or what is likely to happen in the coming minutes, hours, days, months or years. No matter what your situation is make the best of it and do not regret anything that has happened in the past. Intentional and conscious presence or mindfulness in daily tasks means appreciating each activity you engage in in the time that you are actually engaging in it and this kind of attitude enhances the chances of finding joy even in the most basic of tasks like having to eat a meal, reading a book, or even taking a walk. 

 

 7. Take Care of Yourself 

 That is why one has to take care of his/her body and soul to be joyful. Staying healthy through diet, regular exercise, adequate rest and taking time off when you are stressed, weary or ill. Bear in mind that a healthy lifestyle, which includes exercise routines, a proper diet, proper sleep and activities like meditation or yoga also has a positive impact on one’s well-being. 

 In your body when you’re feeling well and in your head if you’re happy to boot- you can only be joy-full. 

 

 8. Be kind and generous 

 You may find happiness in helping others. The human gestures of sharing, giving and caring regardless of the level elicit happy feelings in the givers and the recipients. Volunteer, assist your neighbor or just give a friendly greeting to someone who might be having a bad day A gesture such as these, performing acts of kindness or being generous may bring a lot of joy not only to the recipient but even to the giver. 

 

 9 Stay calm 

 It is necessary to stay calm as this fosters good thinking and makes it easier to make the right decisions. 

 This in essence implies that conflict issues will rarely occur when the environment is calm hence making communication easier. Use this message when the pressure is on and remember to stay cool is a decision that you make. 

 Steadiness in life not only has a positive impact on one’s own health but other people are influenced and the situation becomes less strained. It may be good to accept and propagate stillness as a mode of operation in society as a means of handling issues that come with life. 

 

 Happiness that is being preached nowadays, which is to live with joy is not a call to be always smiling. It’s about living as fully as you can every day and designing a life that will be enjoyable to live. Thus, the art of living has much to do with making the most of small things, being positive, protecting the self and other people, and being calm all the time. A joyful life is a process that is practised day by day. It is a process of making specific decisions to promote individual health and happiness.

The Impermanence of Life: Embracing Change

The Impermanence of Life: 

Embracing Change

Nothing is permanent in the flow of life and its ebbs. The transient nature of everything is a core belief that has been passed through various philosophies and traditions. This impermanence is found in nature’s cycles, and human rhythms, which always remind us of how our experiences and possessions are fleeting.

In the natural world, time passes on through constant change or transformation. The seasons perfectly exemplify this. Spring’s flowers give way to lush greenness in summer then turn to golden-brown leaves of autumn before winter takes over with its drab bareness. Although these stages are all vividly true for their moment, they are also transient making room for the next ones in an unending cycle of growth and decay.

Human existence similarly exemplifies the reality of impermanence

“change is a universal truth” which is widely known as an extremely profound statement. It means that change is a basic aspect of being and can be seen in different aspects.

From birth to death, we grow up, age then die. Relationships go through evolution sometimes unexpectedly so. Friendships flourish and wane; love sprouts then dies; social roles transform over time.

Life is always changing, as society and culture evolve. Nothing is eternal, lasting whether it is good or bad. Flavours of transitoire, life, and experiences, where we find peace and solace. Acknowledging that change is not complete allows us to see and appreciate life right here and now. Hastening or giving an estimate of one's own identity can make one more graceful and more grateful for the experiences and connections.

"Many of the seemingly solid structures we build homes, careers, and social structures we depend upon and evolve over time. Organizations can rise and fall just as civilizations have done throughout history."

Life is not measured only in big moments; the small events are also part of our journey. These sweet and sour moments of life together make a great experience. This transit nature of existence helps us realise life's impermanence and encourages us to cherish every moment.

The impermanence of life teaches us, that good and bad times will pass. We do not have to be very sad in sorrow and not very overwhelmed in good times. When we think this way, this gives us inner strength and comfort in hardships. This perspective helps in facing the challenges with hope. knowing that nothing lasts forever.

Societies evolve, changing technology, norms, values,

and cultures. Sometimes through migration and conquest, through ideas and innovation, cultures evolve, amalgamate, and disperse. So do those ever-shifting foundations for life, our houses, work histories and social institutions.

Reminding ourselves, that everything is transient can deepen our gratitude for life, making us more appreciative of the gifts of experience and connection that here and now make possible. It leads us to reach out and touch the world, cherishing it in the warm light of love. No wonder, then, that the wise teachings of every tradition speak again and again of impermanence.

Every person needs to grow. Every person changes. Change can be good. Some things have to stay the same. We need some things to stay the same.

Change doesn’t have to be scary. Change can help us turn over a new leaf. It can open doors to new things. It’s easy to keep trying to better ourselves, adjust, and keep going as the world moves.

The stock market is always up in the air. You don’t see every store stay open for years. Advances in technology drive our economy, moving over all industries puzzle everybody differently. Policy and lifestyle have been subject to change for centuries.

It is a well-worn religious reflection for humans to note that “This too shall pass”. 

For instance, Buddhism describes all conditioned phenomena as being in a state of constant flux or impermanence (annica or anitya. And Heraclitus, the ancient Greek selected, once said, “You can never step in the same river twice”.

Knowing that nothing stays the same helps you make the most of every day and live your best life. Expect the unexpected and you'll be able to embrace new things, survive whatever comes your way, and always be improving.

Once you get used to changing and uncertainty, you can use them to your advantage, which gives you a huge benefit when things do shift. It's a constant process of turning uncertainties and setbacks into learning opportunities, even when they come with more failures than successes.

The Art of Self-Support and Motivation: Nurturing Your Inner Drive

In a quickly moving modern lifestyle, self-support and motivation are the keys to success. Whether it is work goals, personal maturation or dealing with everyday challenges, having the right attitude will either take you through or leave you stuck. 

Here are some ways of developing and sustaining your energy levels even when times are hard.

Understanding the Self-Support

Being your own ultimate well-wisher is what self-support entails. It involves recognizing one’s worthiness; celebrating successes, and providing the motivations necessary to move forward. To get good at self-support, consider doing the following:

: Every achievement counts, no matter how small it may seem. By praising your accomplishments you encourage good behavior and become more self-confident.

Practice Self-Compassion: Learn to treat yourself as kindly as you would treat a friend in similar circumstances. Remind yourself that setbacks are part of life’s journey, not indicators of your value.

Set Realistic Goals: Ambition is necessary but unachievable goals can lead to irritation and exhaustion. Thus, divide your dreams into small achievable steps and celebrate every milestone reached along the way

long a Positive Environment: Have people around you who can inspire and motivate you. The influence of the environment on motivation, among other things, is huge.

Developing Motivation

Motivation is the fuel to the engine of action. It's what gets you moving toward the realization of your goals. How, then, do you keep the fire burning? Consider the following ways:

Find Your Purpose: Knowing the 'why' behind what you do could go a long way in being one of your most influential motivators. Your values and your passion constitute life; hence, your goals ought to be parallel with them.

Visualize Success: You motivate yourself towards hard work by visualizing your success. Envision that you have accomplished what you set out to do and experience those emotions like having succeeded. You will find an urge to strive harder.

Stay Positive: A positive attitude will change the whole perspective and increase motivation. Practice gratitude, self-strength, and reframing of thoughts to keep a positive outlook.

Develop a Routine: It has been observed that routine is the key to remaining motivated. Plan out each day with time allocations for work, rest, and personal care. When everything is in balance, it is easy to stay focused and full of energy.

Draw Inspiration: Observe people, books, podcasts, and above all, role models. You can really get your passion and drive back by learning from others' experiences and success.

Embrace Failure: Do not think of failure as an end; rather, think of it as the process leading to success. Every defeat is impregnated with lessons and new chances to grow.

Take Breaks: Rest is essential to long-term motivation. Allow yourself to take regular breaks to refresh your mind from a specific task and avoid burnout.

Overcoming Challenges

Even with the best plans and strategies, at times, motivation starts dwindling, and self-support seems very tough. So, in such situations, being resilient and adaptable is very important.

If you find that you cannot attain self-support and motivation, then seek out coaching or professional therapy. Guidance from a coach or therapist can provide different perspectives and strategies for personalized needs.

Supporting and motivating oneself is a lifelong process requiring effort, commitment, and continuous self-awareness. You become able to uphold and motivate yourself when you appreciate your accomplishments, be kind to yourself, and maintain focus on the purpose of life. You are your own best advocate. Embrace your strengths and learn from your life experiences while continuing to strive forward with pride and determination. If you can muster up enough courage to support and motivate yourself along the way, success will be within your reach.😊

LIFE IS A MIND GAME

The idea that life is a mind game suggests that experiences, perceptions, and outcomes are either, or highly influenced by, our mental states, beliefs, and attitudes. 

In that regard, one would raise questions about the depths of the mind, which creates reality; it captures the dynamic between ideas, feelings, and outcomes. Perceiving life from this angle as a mind game could help people exert more effort and focus their minds and emotions on tasks, goals, and personal well-being.

Everything in life happens for a reason 

The phrase ‘there is always a reason for everything one comes across in life ‘ is very much true.

There is no success and failure, no good and bad, no happiness and sorrow in life and all things should be in the correct perspective. Everything that happens in people's life whether they are happy or sad has its own colour and its own level. If the so-called adverse circumstances of life are seen as negative then life is full of suffering. 

It is, therefore we must try to train our minds so that they can take a more positive view. People should always attempt to see the positive side of all the situations that may be deemed as negative. With this attitude of yours, you will become much more broad-minded and relaxed. 

 Making our lives more meaningful and happier

Optimism has been found to promote a healthier life, effective problem-solving, personal achievement, and general well-being. Indeed, positive thinking includes concentrating on the better aspects of any circumstance, hoping only for the better, and remaining optimistic. This gives meaning to our lives and makes us happier.

A person should endeavour to be good and should attempt to be good.

It is not an issue of faith but of reason. If one becomes as gentle as children and attempts to shape the mental clay and accept a few things as they are, one’s heart will be content. 

Here, I am not saying we should withdraw ourselves from our normal activities. I am just trying to make you understand that, to find an opportunity to show you, and above all, to be at ease and comfortable with the various solutions at times that I have to explain to you. 

The things we use, the people that we encounter or the events that we experience in the course of our lives are things that we do not decide; they are predetermined by a supernatural being. And concerning this we have no control, but that superior power has endowed us with a tool called the brain and another tool called willpower. 

Positively, we can; with the right thinking and tenacity, we can alter our lives for the better. 

Growth Mindset

A fixed mindset defines talents and intelligence as the individual's fixed abilities. The growth mindset entails the notion of life as a mind game as we are in a position to train ourselves to look for opportunities even in the so-called problems. That is why the growth mindset allows realizing the potential and overcoming all the existing barriers.

Strong Will

If your mind is fixed on, for instance, they want to change it. Then what have to do is to powder that very thing with a strong will and let it absorb new things and actions.

When one is assured of strength within him, then, the challenge is more than halfway through.

Turn to yourself to identify what you feel comfortable with and what you feel uncomfortable to handle. You will observe that everything that you find yourself doing unwillingly causes you discomfort once you are done. 

Here is where the real work starts,” say to yourself with authority every morning that, “I can change and I have the power to change. I will change. While practising this theory, train yourself to hold this thought throughout in your subconscious level, use the guide of your inner self, and then start the work.

 THE TALENTS OF RESILIENCE & ADAPTABILITY 

Life is unpredictable, as are the adversities that come with it; that is why only the honing of the skills of adaptability as well as the ability to get back on track are valuable.
Resilience may be described as that psychological characteristic that enables an individual to cope with the effects of negative situations in life and in fact, retain a smile on the face even in most trying circumstances.

Mastery of flexibility is one of the backup skills that will assist us to manoeuvre around the highs and the lows with ease and persistence. Some of the aspects of resilience that will be constructed include ways, means or strategies for managing adversities, a support framework and meaning/purpose in life. 

The Impact of Stress

Stress is an inevitable part of life, it is almost impossible to guard against all the ill effects of stress. Few, are significant if we go with the idea or perception of managing stress in the right way. Stress is a health problem ranging from some anxiety and depressive disorders to cardiovascular diseases and obesity where stress well managed boosts our capability and quality of life. 

Learning stress management through techniques of relaxation exercises, learning how to manage our time as well and positive thinking go a long way in balancing up our minds in the mind game of life.

The Power of Thoughts

 Undeniably, A powerful force in the human spirit is the mind.
The power of the mind in itself is that by having a positive mind, a person can attract similar experiences in life. 

According to this principle, it can be realized that positive focused thoughts with intentions can actualize positive ends. Some of the games of life are in nurturing one's mind to focus on the positive aspects and work towards realizing set goals through visualization.

Visualization and Goal Setting

Visualization refers to the act of creating a plan of what one would want to gain or make happen in his or her mind. It has been attested in numerous research that by doing so, performance increases visualization leads to the accomplishment of intended goals.

 Life as a mind game therefore draws from this principle and it is more of mental preparedness that prepares the mind towards success. 

In addition to goal setting, visualization helps one to differentiate and consolidate one’s purpose, equally or even better maintain attention and is always on the move in the achievement of the goals.

Practising Positive Thinking

It means a state where one has a positive attitude towards something and believes that the outcome shall always be the best. Consequently, it is possible to build up resources and cope with the various levels of stress and the practice can lead to the production of well-being. This is because to win the game of life called to mind, one has to have a positive mind that goes through different tests of life to emerge a winner.

Embracing Continuous Learning

Life itself is a process that is accompanied by development and takes place in every person. As such, by taking the mentality of embracing change, which means embracing the unknown, our lives will be much more fulfilling than embracing simple change in a bid to broaden our horizons. As in any mind game that we call life, adaptability and constant learning make us capable of facing the world no matter how it comes.
As for me, the idea of perceiving life as the game of the mind really changed my perspective, thus, from the reel reality to the mind reality. In perception, attitude, and thought, it is often possible to speak of a much fuller, more meaningful, and purposeful kind of life. The game of life calls for, therefore, self-awareness, self-awareness, a positive attitude, goal setting and effective learning.
When these principles are adopted one is endowed with the ability to lead a clear, strong and happy life. Last of all life as a mind game underlines to us that the greatest strength is in the mind, and by creating this strength, we can form that which is perceivable, and attain true greatness.
