In order to live a happy and fulfilling life we need to go outside of ourselves and be compassionate and helping to others.

Focus More On Others

Allow yourself a good night’s sleep. When you wake up the next day, the problem will seem lighter.

When Life Disappoints, Rest a Moment

Watch a comedy movie, pick a song you can resonate with and sing it out loud, share food and drink with your friends, and go on a vacation.

What To Do When You Feel Down

Before you go to bed, write down all the things that you need to do or the things that stresses you out. Write them down in a piece of paper. This will help you have a peaceful sleep at night.

Paper Stress Dump

You've been through a lot and you should be proud of you. You are eager to be there for others, so be there for you too.

Love Yourself

Always ask this to yourself and every situation that you encounter.

What Can I Learn From My Mistake

Don’t struggle to heal your wounds. Just pour time into your heart and wait. When your wounds are ready, they will heal on their own.

We feel unhappy not just because something bad has happened, but also because of the swirling thoughts about it.

"When your mind rests, the world also rests"

Leave it alone and let flow. The wave of emotion will naturally recede on its own
 as long as you don’t feed it by dwelling on it.

What To Do With Unpleasant Feelings

These are anger, despair, and sorrow. Make a little effort to exercise, listen or talk to your mentor, and meditate on loving-kindness.

What To Do With The Toxins In Our Body

The world never complained about how busy it is.

When we look at the outside world, we are looking at only a small part that interests us. The world we see is not the entire universe but a limited one that the mind cares about.
