1- unclutter your life.clear the stuff that is no longer useful in your life, be it your old clothes or other unused stack of things.2- Clear your calender of unwanted and unnecessary obligations.practice saying no to the excessive demands and inject a dose of leisure time into your routine.3- Be sure to keep your free time free.If you dont want to add up things in your leisure time by involving into some social activity or gossiping gathering with friends, then don’t! Instead do something that you particularly enjoy doing.

9 Ways To Simplify Your Life. 

4- Take time for meditation or yoga or exercise. since being in an era of using smartphones and working hard to live a luxurious life, we are almost stuck and busy with thoughts everytime. So give yourself atleast 20 minutes a day to meditate or workout! You’ll feel healthier and less stressed. 5- Return to natureGet away to trek or camp in the woods, swim in the river/lake, or plant trees! And allow yourself to feel connected with the mother nature.

6- Give a silent blessing to your critics. Align yourself with like minded people. Life is much easier when you receive support rather than constant criticism. Our thoughts are sacred, dont let anyone trample on them. Just remove yourself from the critics energy as quickly as you can. 7- Take care of yourself! Your body is your sacred temple and you have to be here till a lifetime that you are alive! Simplify your life by exercising, eating in proper proportions ( be a sensible eater!) what you eat and how much you eat has a lot of effect on your body.

8- Slow Down. “ there’s more to life than increasing its speed” be in present, enjoy the moment that is right in front of you rather than thinking of how else it could have been! slow down and stop to enjoy the beautiful stars on a clear night! A beautiful sunset/ sunrise! The cloud formation on a crispy day.9- Do everything that you can to eschew debt! Abstain from purchasing things that will complicate and create clutter in your life. By going into debt you will add more anxiety into your life, moments you have to work extra to pay off your debts makes the present moments less enjoyable

To live a simple life is to live a happy life!

''What I'm offering in this book is the awareness that we can return to a full-time position of inspiration, which is the true meaning of our life.'' - Dr. Wayne W. Dyer.....INSPIRATION In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer explains how we've chosen to enter this world of particles and form. From our place of origin, in ways that we don't readily comprehend now, we knew what we were coming here to accomplish, and we participated in setting this life process in motion. So why not think along these same lines? Why put the responsibility or blame on any one or any thing that's not a part of us? On Earth we have the capacity of volition - we can choose - so let's assume that we had the same capacity when we resided in the spiritual realm. We chose our physical body, and we chose the parents we needed for the trip. It doesn't seem too great a stretch to move into the idea that we chose this life in concert with our Source. Inspiration can be cultivated and be a driving force throughout life, rather than showing up every now and then and just as mysteriously disappearing, seemingly independent of our desires. Inspiration is for everyone! It isn't reserved for high-profile creative geniuses in the arts and sciences - it's inherent in our Divine birthright. The problem is that as children we're gradually taught to believe exclusively in the world of phenomena where ego is dominant and inspiration diminished. As you read each chapter in this book, you'll find specific suggestions for living ''in-Spirit.'' From a very personal viewpoint, Wayne offers a blueprint through the world of inspiration - your ultimate calling.

The Mindset Mentor - MOTIVATIONAL SPEECH #1: People's Opinions Aren't Real

One interview stands in the way of you and your dream job.Account <a href="https://twitter.com/ChrisYabsley1/status/1556668285223161862?t=1yhC3Lh3V9UuR5mtRNpF0Q">@ChrisYansley1</a>, an ex-student who interviewed at multiple law firms, shared that this is a familiar feeling.Here's a some stuffs from him on how to smash the interview process and get hired:

Mental Strategy On Job Interview

Firstly, this stuffs does not guarantee interview success.BUT, one mental strategy that really helped me was taking 100% responsibility for the result of my application.By doing this, you can liberate yourself from the belief that you're not in control.

Disclaimer

Once you've gotten to this point, it's time to prepare.First, research, research, research. Do everything in your powers to know the most you can about the business.This way, you'll never run out of things to say in the interview.

Do Your Research

If you're at the interview stage, we can assume you have already done this.However, you can never do "enough" research.Ensure that you are well versed on the company's locations, culture and values, long term objectives and recent news.

You can never do "enough" research

As research is a never-ending process, nothing comes "after" it.However, after thinking about research, it's time think about the interview itself - who is interviewing you?This is critical, as you can tailor your responses to the people asking you questions.

Imagine Some Role Play

If you know your interviewers, look them up on social media.Open LinkedIn and see what they've been liking/commenting on recently. Gain an insight into what they like and what inspires them.This way, you can gain a better understanding into their personality.

LinkedIn Research

With research and interviewer prep complete, it's time to mentally prepare.My best interviews were the ones where I did these three things:1. Treated the interviewers as my friends.2. Carefully listened to every single word they said.3. Was brutally honest.

Three Things To Remember

Treating the interviewers as your friends is crucial.It mitigates the affects of imposter syndrome, relaxes your nerves and allows you to show off your personality.Treating your interviewers as enemies will do the opposite.

Be Friendly

Listening is an underrated superpower.If you can be a good listener, it will show that you care. Listen carefully to the questions and the body language which accompanies them. This will give you the best insight as to how to answer them.

Listening

And finally, honesty is the best policy.In the interviews which I tried to be somebody I'm not, I was unsuccessful. I noticed this quickly.If you stick to answers which are boring and pre-rehearsed, the interviewers will switch off.Don't be afraid of your personality.

Honesty

Thread from @ChrisYabsley1 tells people some very important things about job interview and how to beat it.

How to Smash the Interview Process & Get Hired

“The grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.”

Ikigai is a Japanese concept that basically means “the happiness of always being busy”. The Japanese word has two characters: ‘iki’ which means life, and ‘gai,’ or value.  Well, what's the happiness in business? Let's find out here!

IKIGAI

Ikigai explains how you can live a longer and happier life by having a purpose, eating healthy, and not retiring.Many people find themselves trapped in the never-ending need to do everything faster, better, and harder. In contrast, discovering your ikigai will help you slow down and enjoy life more.

Summary

Finding your ikigai can be as simple as asking four basic questions:<ul><li>PERSONAL</li></ul>What are your strengths? Think of what you do better than everyone else. <ul><li>PURPOSE</li></ul>What does the world need? Imagine something you see that the world lacks.<ul><li>PASSION</li></ul>What are your passions? Picture the things that you could do all day without stopping.<ul><li>PROFIT</li></ul>What can you earn a living doing? You have to make money from your craft, so how can you do that?

Discover your Ikigai 

Take it Slow- Ikigai helps Okinawa residents be more mindful in their daily lives. The concept of ikigai has its roots in Zen Buddhism, which emphasizes the importance of living in the present moment and keeping an open mind. Don’t Fill Your Stomach-  The “Okinawa diet” includes at least five servings of fruits and vegetables each day, with small amounts of fish and lean meat. They rarely eat sugar, and, if they do, it’s cane sugar. The average daily intake of an Okinawan is about 1,900 calories.

Okinawan and Well Being

Hara Hachi Bu is a traditional Okinawan saying that means “eat until you are 80 percent full.” The idea is that you should stop eating when you are no longer feeling hungry, rather than continue to eat until you feel stuffed.This philosophy of eating is based on the belief that it is better to stop eating before you feel too full, as it can lead to indigestion and other health problems. Ways to get started include:<ul><li>Eat slowly</li><li>Focus on food</li><li>Use small vessels</li></ul>

Hara Hachi Bu

Intensity may deter consistency, so Okinawans strive for simplicity in their forms of exercise. A walk around the neighborhood, a day in the garden, or singing karaoke are just a few simple ways they maintain movement frequently.

Keep moving throughout the day, no matter how little.

Research shows that friends can affect your health even more than family. People with the most friends tend to outlive those with the fewest by 22 percent. Keep in mind that this means real friends. The authors point out that Facebook friends and Twitter followers do not count.The key is to have three or four good friends that care for you the same way you care for them. The easiest way to develop close friendships is to think about what you can do to help the people closest to you be happier.

Surround Yourself With Good Friends

Smiling does more than tell other people you’re happy. Smiling lowers your heart rate and reduces blood pressure while relaxing your body. A study from University College London found that cheerful people are 35 percent more likely to live longer.

Smile

A Harvard University study showed that people surrounded by lush greenery lived longer, with a lower chance of developing cancer or respiratory illnesses. Over 100 studies have shown that being in nature, living near nature, or even viewing nature can positively impact our lives. Spending time in nature, in particular, appears inherently rewarding, producing a cascade of positive emotions and calming our nervous systems. This, in turn, helps us cultivate greater openness, creativity, connection, generosity, and resilience.

Reconnect With Nature

Gratitude has consistently been associated with positive outcomes. Apart from increasing your happiness levels, gratitude also improves your physical health. It lowers stress levels. Stress is associated with heart attacks and other chronic conditions, but can be reduced by adopting gratitude and encouraging optimism. Optimism increases immune-boosting cells. People who express gratitude are more likely to report higher levels of well-being and satisfaction with their lives. They are also more likely to experience less stress and anxiety and be more resilient in the face of adversity.

Give Thanks

Most of us know that we should exercise more, but there always seems to be something more pressing that demands our attention. Whatever the reason, the bottom line is that most of us could benefit from exercising more. As Japanese centenarians show, all you need is light, regular movement in your day. In doing so, you can face the world with strength, joy, and serenity.

Exercise

Flow is the state in which people are so involved in an activity that nothing else seems to matter. It is characterized by a sense of focus and effortless concentration. It is often associated with positive experiences, such as peak performance, and the experience itself becomes highly enjoyable.

Live in the Moment (THE FLOW)

“The happiest people are not the ones who achieve the most. They are the ones who spend more time than others in a state of flow.”

The idea is to keep your mind and body active to fill yourself with purpose and ikigai daily. We see retirement as a golden age of holidays and gold. However, retirement kills your ikigai. We need to stop spending so much time worrying about making more money and our eventual retirement.So, never retire. Keep learning, keep changing, and keep growing.

Never Retire

<ol><li>Stay active; don’t retire.</li><li>Take it slow.</li><li>Don’t fill your stomach.</li><li>Surround yourself with good friends.</li><li>Get in shape for your next birthday.</li><li>Smile.</li><li>Reconnect with nature.</li><li>Give thanks.</li><li>Live in the moment.</li><li>Follow your ikigai.</li></ol>

<ul><li> Jealousy</li><li>Attention seeking</li><li>Arguing</li></ul>

Signs Of Insecurity In A Relationship

This is one of the most obvious signs of insecurity in a relationship. A jealous partner constantly questions their significant other’s true intentions. They spy, become clingy or control your friendships and free time. Jealousy is all-consuming and damaging to every relationship.

Jealousy

Some attention-seeking behaviors are similar to jealousy, like the need for constant reassurance. Others are about a fear of being alone, like always having to do everything together. Still others fulfill a need for significance by causing drama or picking fights.

Attention Seeking

Every couple argues – the difference is between healthy and unhealthy arguing. Healthy arguing uses productive communication tactics to reach a place of understanding and agreement. Unhealthy arguing stems from lack of trust, unresolved insecurities and even fear that true communication will cause your partner to leave you.

Arguing

<ol><li>Start with self love: and identify and overcome your limitting beliefs</li><li>Learn to communicate effectively about how you are feeling to your partner.</li><li>Meet each other's needs: there are 6 basic human needs: You can check out the article in the link attached.</li><li>Act like you are a new couple:</li><li>Create new stories. </li></ol>And lastly...

The Tips:

When you let anxious thoughts spiral out of control, that’s when you lash out at your partner, become defensive or shut down. Stop these feelings before they start by learning to control your emotions. Keep your partner’s actions in perspective – everyone talks to the opposite sex, wants to go out with their friends and needs alone time once in a while. This doesn’t reflect badly on you. It means you’re in a normal, healthy relationship:)

Stop Overanalysing

As humans...we do feel insecure at some point in our lives..it's important to handle those emotions and reflect upon them to build a stronger relationship with yourself and with others.

7 tips on how to stop being insecure in a relationship

Fall down seven times, get up eight.

There’s nothing as exciting as a comeback – seeing someone with dreams, watching them fail, and then getting a second chance.

Nothing is cooler and more attractive than a big comeback, and that’ll be me.

There is nothing as sweet as a comeback, when you are down and out, about to lose, and out of time.

I’m always making a comeback but nobody ever tells me where I’ve been.

Making a comeback is one of the most difficult things to do with dignity.

I am facing a challenge, I am not facing defeat. Remember this.

That’s the greatest comeback since Lazarus.

To have a comeback, you have to have a setback.

To admit you want to have a comeback means you have to admit you weren’t what you were supposed to be. You dropped below your own standard.

I’m a comeback waiting to happen. No one deserves it more than I do.

When you experience a bad turn of luck or somehow fall short of your goals, it’s incredibly satisfying to make a comeback and triumph in the end.

35 Of The Most Beautiful Words

I've cowered through life, loathing every moment of existence, finding ways to be disrespectful and demeaning to myself. Only to reach a place in life to gain perspective to live better and love thyself. Although, it comes at such a late stage, I'd want nothing but to share this perspective to those who are looking and to those who aren't, especially to the ones who aren't, cause they'd be needing it the most.

It's All About Perspective 

My hatred towards self stemmed, some from childhood trauma, some from the constant yearning to please others. But, mainly from me constantly feeling less amongst my peers, and generally just anyone about me. Anyone I saw, looked perfect. And I belittled myself trying to impress the perfect beings around me. Unless I had the crucial perspective change that changed my life.

Everyone Is Perfect

Yes, this is where my life took a turn. The moment I realised that I'm neither lesser nor better than anyone around me. Rather, when broken down, we're all the same. Different lives, trying to make sense of the world, with their own insecurities and imperfections. At the end of the day, we're all just little pieces of fawked up beings. And your imperfections aren't more imperfect than anyone else's around.

We Are All Just Fawked Up

After you've gained this perspective, easier said than done, but once you truly embrace this idea that nobody matters, and everybody matters at the same time. Is the time you let go of your ego, and let go of your shame, and be truly you. And the truly you, is a kind hearted empathetic being, cause everyone's the same. Everyone is you...and nobody is you...and that's the beauty of being.

Not Shame, Not Ego, But Empathy!

Understand yourself and those around you.
