When it comes to relax­ing after a hard day of work, you might take a lit­tle cof­fee or tea, or prob­a­bly a few rounds of beer or any other booze you could get your hands on. For me, I like to take some tea first, then turn on my music, close my eyes and lied down on the sofa relax for while, you know what, often time it leads me into a short nap, but after­ward I feel really fresh and good, ha.

But what’s really inter­est­ing to know is that how do other peo­ple go through the usual part of life when faced with vein-popping stress? I mean, the new age thing like Zen or yoga or med­i­ta­tion is one of the good things to do, many prac­tion­ers said it actu­ally works and works well for them. [Read more…]

What is Positive Thinking and How Does it Works

Often time, we heard peo­ple talk­ing about ‘Pos­i­tive Think­ing’, like how pow­er­ful it is and how the pos­i­tive think­ing can change a person’s life and so forth, before putting the pow­ers of pos­i­tive think­ing to work in your per­sonal and pro­fes­sional life, you must first under­stand exactly what pos­i­tive think­ing is.

By def­i­n­i­tion, the word pos­i­tive means deal­ing with mat­ters of fact; expressed clearly, or in a con­fi­dent or peremp­tory man­ner. How­ever, in the con­cept of pos­i­tive think­ing, the word pos­i­tive is meant to sig­nify a man­ner of think­ing: a man­ner that puts empha­sis on pro­cess­ing thoughts in a more desir­able, upbeat way. Pos­i­tive think­ing can be described as the prac­tice of embrac­ing the affir­ma­tive in our thoughts, our feel­ings, our actions, our reac­tions and our speech. [Read more…]

How to be Genuinely Happy

Life isn’t the sweet­est candy. Some­times, when I feel like the world is just too heavy, I look around and find peo­ple who con­tin­ued to live fas­ci­nat­ing and won­der­ful lives. And then thoughts come pop­ping into my mind like bub­bles from nowhere – “How did their life become so adorably sweet? How come they still can man­age to laugh and play around despite a busy stress­ful life?” Then I pause and observed for awhile… I fig­ured out that maybe, they start to work on a place called ‘self’.

How does one become gen­uinely happy? The step one is to love yourself.

My the­ol­ogy pro­fes­sor once said that “lov­ing means accept­ing.” To love one­self means to accept that you are not a per­fect being, but behind the imper­fec­tions must lie a great ounce of courage to be able to dis­cover ways on how to improve your reper­toire to recover from our mis­takes.

Almost every­one have heard the hit sin­gle ‘Don’t Worry, Be Happy’ by Bobby McFer­rin. The song has a very catchy way of con­vey­ing its mes­sage of being happy.

Liv­ing a happy, resilient and opti­mistic life is won­der­ful, and it is also good for your health. Being happy actu­ally pro­tects you from the stresses of life. Stress is linked to top causes of death such as heart dis­ease, can­cer and stroke.

One of the bet­ter things ever said is,‘The only thing in life that will always remain the same is change’. [Read more…]
