Take short break imagining that you are on vacation

Take short breaks. While you cannot go on a major vacation every week, you certainly can go on a minor one. A short break begins with closing the door of office, holding all calls and relaxing in chair. Then close your eyes and begin taking deep breaths.

Let your mind and body feel relax and once you feel deeply at peace, begin to imagine that you are walking through a mountain meadow, you are walking on the bank of river, you are walking on the dewy grass, you are having fun or playing with your family, you are on world tour, you are at your favorite beach, you are playing your favorite game and savor the splendor of the snow-capped mountains.

Vividly see the colours, hear the sounds and feel the emotions that these special places are evoking you. During this short break imagine every beautiful moments of your life that you have spent and further you expect for. After only a few minutes of this mental escape, you will be rejuvenated, ready for the rest of the day ahead. Our minds are extremely potent devices. The subconscious mind cannot tell the difference between an image that we envision and one that is real. So this little technique actually fools it into thinking we are taking this quick break from our daily routines and invokes many of the wonderful physical benefits of a real vacation.

Take care of 12 pound mass between two shoulders

Everything starts from our mind and ends from our mind. Whatever we do, we do with the help of our mind. Without mind a human is like a dead body on this earth that is alive only. Take care of your mind.  In routine we do exercises for making our body muscles strong but we ignore our mind, no exercise for it. Why we ignore such an important part of our body? Why we don’t pay much attention to our mind? Our mind requires exercise too to grow strong like other parts of our body. But in contrary of that what we do we put so much waste into our mind in the shape of worries and anxieties, fretting about the past, brooding over the future and those self-created fears that wreak havoc within our inner world and eating unhealthy food. If we nurture it and cultivate it just like a fertile, rich garden, it will blossom far beyond our expectations.

But if we let the weeds take root, lasting peace of mind and deep inner harmony will always move away. As we delete scrap material from the memory of our computer so that it can function well. In the same manner scrap material i.e. negative thoughts which are stored in our mind required to be deleted for the smooth function of our mind. Our mind cannot afford the negative thoughts, not even a single one. On an average day, the average person runs about 60000 thoughts through his mind and 95% of those thoughts are the same as the ones he thought the day before. To live the fullest we must let only the very best information, peaceful, positive thoughts as well as healthy diet enter in our mind.

The quality of life is determined by the quality of thoughts. The mind management is the essence of life management. We people don’t realize the enormous power of our mind. All success in life starts with that 12 pound mass sitting between the shoulders. More specifically with the thoughts that we put into our mind every second of every minute of every day. Our outer world reflects the state of our inner world. The mind is a wonderful servant but a terrible master. If we have become a negative thinker, this is because we have not cared for our mind. So care for your mind.   

Get up before sunrise like birds

“Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise”-Ben Franklin

Get up before sunrise. Getting up before sunrise is one of the greatest activity in the world and there are few people in the world who do this activity and that is why they are different from others in every aspect of life. When the whole world is sleeping and we get up before sunrise, at this point of time we have much time to connect with ourselves as well as to the nature. At this moment everything we hear, listen or see is fresh and clear in our mind. Getting up before sunrise and doing the things is the best way to achieve the goals in life. Seeing the scene of rising sun, the music of chirping birds in the morning will give you more energy and fresh feeling and also the power to deal with the difficult people and making strong decisions. We might have seen the birds flying in the sky early in the morning going one place to another in the search of food because they know that they have to cover a long distance of whole day and that’s way they get up early in the morning so that they may reduce some distance of mile’s distance and come back to their home in time and in the same manner we have to lead a long distance in the life to reach or achieve our destination and for that we have to get up early in the morning before sunrise. Getting up before sunrise we can exercise, yoga, study, meditate, work etc. much better than other times in the day. Getting up before sunrise will give us extra time for focus and creativity and we are less likely to get distracted and we have more will power to deal with the life challenges. Wake up early in the morning before sunrise and make the to do list of the day and through which we will be more organized and won’t forget to do important things. In the morning our brain activity is better. Scientific studies have shown that our intellectual functions are better in the morning hours. Now get up before sunrise and make this part of life.
