Be Collaborative Instead of Forceful

If you listen to your body when it whispers, you won’t have to hear it scream.

Be collaborative with your body and mind! If you put your nose to the grindstone for too long (i.e. work too hard for too long), you may cut your nose!

Be mindful and collaborative!

Get Rid of Ants!!! (Automatic Negative Thoughts)

No not that ants but Automatic Negative Thoughts

“I am not smart enough”, “Bad things will happen”, “I don’t think I am ever going to succeed”. — these are prime examples of negative thoughts.

I believe it may be difficult to completely destroy all ants (pun intended), but if you fill your life with positivity, I promise you’d find yourself in a much better place.

Instead of “I can’t do it”, think “I can try”. Instead of “I can try”, think “I will do it”. Take it one step at a time, and overwhelm those ants with positivity and love!

This means that in an environment where fear and anger are present, people are unable to make rational decisions!

So give the '478' breathing technique a shot if you ever feel angry or scared!

You’d find ways to justify any rash actions because you think you’re anger. In the latter, anger is nothing but another feeling that happens to pass by your body and soul

So try your best to understand, acknowledge, and let go of it!

Try saying - "I feel angry. But that's okay and it is normal. I acknowledge it and I'm going go breath and let it go.
