I bear a charmed life

How many people say that? Often I hear, my life is so stressed, I am so tired with work/house work, I have no time and so on. But just think, you are tired because you have a home and a job, you are stressed because you have relationships and your children bug you but you have children and their laughter fills up your home.

Life does bring challenges but how we react to those totally depends on us. We can cry that life has handed us a lemon or we can squeeze the lemon hard and add some sugar of positivity and make lemonade out of it. Two things will happen if we do this.

First, you will be happier because you have accepted your challenges and are responding rather than reacting and second, other people in your life will notice this change in you and this will change your behaviour towards you.

It doesn’t come in a day. One has to practice this attitude and take steps to maintain it. There are things you can do. One, meditate in the morning. Meditation slows your heart rate and releases happy hormones so you are well equipped to face the day.

Two, take five deep diaphramic breaths when in crisis. Third, think of a happy moment when upset and concentrate on it for five minutes. Fourth, Do physical exercise after your day in the office. This will convert your mental tiredness in to physical and you will feel relaxed. Fifth, sleep for at least eight hours. Most diseases occur because of lack of sleep.

And last but not the least tell yourself, ‘I have a charmed life’. The universe will reverberate it.

So be it!!!
