Habits that will transform your Life....!!!!

 “Your habits will determine your Future” -    Jack Canfield.

Connecting further to my previous blog that introduced the importance of spirituality in our life. There is one more vital thing that we all must understand that, Spirituality does not teach us to connect to some specific religion. Also, it’s not bounding us to anything like that but, Spirituality is essentially a search for life’s meanings from a non-religious perspective. It’s above the religion, as GOD is a supreme power that cannot be bounded to any religion. Spirituality is known to be a state that can reach higher levels of consciousness if one regularly practices yoga, meditation, and similar other practices.

Today, we will focus on  some of the finest habits that will surely transform your life, on spiritual & personal ground, only if you are practicing it in your day to day life.

The researches have proven that our mind gets adapted to a new habit, after a complete cycle of 21 days. This means that if we are continuously practicing a habit in our routine life for 21 days, it can become an inseparable part of our life. As our subconscious mind gets trained during this period. Our life is a real picture of all the images that we create in our subconscious mind. This is really a wider and an interesting concept, that we will focus on in one of my upcoming blogs- “The power of our subconscious mind”. Coming back to the point, learning the habits that will transform your life.

Habit is something, that we rarely focus on, but these have a greater impact on our living & survival opportunities. It’s having greater impact on our spiritual & personal life. Today we will come across 6 such magical habits that will purely impact your life. Let’s begin with the first habit.

1). Concious Breathing 

“Breath is the link between mind and body.” — Dan Brule

It’s the prime step that acts as a window to enter into the room of meditation. Deep breathing or I will say a concentrated breathing, makes you calm and focused. You just need to sit in silence, preferably this exercise must be done before sleep or early in the morning, when the whole surrounding is at rest. As per the beliefs, the universe has the abandoned source of energies and body receives it through a natural channel called “Chakras”. These chakras are highly active during this time. Hence, when the surrounding is quite, our body has the chances to receive that cosmic energy to the higher extent through meditation. Breathing is one of the easiest way to start meditation. Now, the question arises that how to concentrate on your breathe on meditative perspective.

The answer is here…!!!!!

Sit silently…..calmly…….with your back straight. The straight backbone enhances the flow of energy in your body.  Concentrate on your breathe.

-      Breathe in

-      Hold it for a few seconds ( as per your comfort Level)

-      Release the breathe.

-      Hold again for a few seconds ( as per your comfort Level)

Feel it going out and coming in back. You only need to put your attention to it. Regular & focused practice of this breathing exercise will lead you to reach the state of Zero thought level and you can feel the strong peace & eternal joy.

 

2). Affirm yourself everyday

The next habit you need to practice everyday is giving affirmations to yourself. These affirmations must be positive and specific. For example

-      I am so lucky.

-      I am very positive.

-      I am happy and contented.

-      Everyone loves me.

-      I am growing in my career.

Tell these affirmations to yourself the moment you wake up in the morning. Keep repeating these affirmations in your mind, when ever you get time. You will see, how your life style will transform. You will really feel a charm in your way of living.

Lets have a glance on an opposite scenario - If you keep telling yourself how short-tempered you are, yet you are yearning to become much calmer, you are telling yourself the wrong story — how can you expect to move forward when you are constantly looking backward?

Look forward, and step into a new you. Tell your story the way you want it to be, and it will become. Affirm Yourself.

3). Keep Smiling

“Peace begins with a smile.” – Mother Teresa

Because of your smile, you can make your life more beautiful. Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love. Use your smile to change the world but don’t let the world change your smile. Smile is the only key to your mood.

A research study says- The humble act of smiling releases neuropeptides that directly combat stress. Happy, peaceful hormones, such as dopamine and serotonin, are released when your beautiful smile spreads across your face. As well, your body, blood pressure, and heart rate all relax. Smile releases intense joy, and if you are relaxed means that you are balanced. If you are balanced, means that you are able to tackle the day to day problems with much efficiency and hence in turn it will make you competence in decision making. 

So friends, a single smile can give u a lot of paybacks.

“The real man smiles in trouble, gathers strength from distress, and grows brave by its reflection.”

4). Go into nature.

            “ By discovering nature, you discover yourself.” - Maxime Lagacé

The advancement of the technology is leading us towards isolation. Just give a close look to your surrounding including yourself, we all are busy on the internet, chats, facebook, Instagram and other social media.  I am not saying that spending time with these gadgets is not good, rather it keeps us updating with all the information and happenings. But the worse aspect of this is – we are getting detached from the world - our nears and dears. Our life is becoming a race. Everyone wants to win it but now one know the destination to reach….!!!!.

The actual destination of our existence is being in stable state of peace and contentment. Which is missing from everyone’s life. The only way to get back to the way is “ Getting connected to the mother nature.” Spare some time from your routine and spend it with nature. See the flowers blooming- enjoy the sound of breeze touching you – see the trees dancing with the flow of air – listen to the music of the birds with full heart……..it will definitely go into the depth of your heart and you will realize that life is too short to enjoy these blessings of GOD.

Just experience it once, I am sure, your life will change to an unexpected level. Nature is full of peace.

“Adopt the pace of nature. Her secret is patience.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

5). Enjoy your present.

“Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift of God”

Almost always, we keep one foot in the future and one foot in the past— this awkward stance causes us to forget our present. Some people spoil their present, by regretting their past – which can never be corrected and worrying about their future – which is hidden in the layers of time. The worse scene is that we are nothing to do with the present that we are living. We don’t care about the make the moments happy that we are living.

We are neglecting all the beautiful relations, moments and even sometimes forgets to enjoy the childhood of our kids in the race of life, which is the most precious moment of one’s life. Dear friends, please change this habit once, just then feel the transformation in your life. If you will make your present happy, in turn your future will be contented. Real generosity towards the future lies in giving all to the present.” ...

Buddha says - “I never see what has been done; I only see what remains to be done.” “You only lose what you cling to.” “The past is already gone, the future is not yet here. There's only one moment for you to live.”

 

6). Meditate everyday

“Meditation is a vital way to purify and quiet the mind, thus rejuvenating the body.” 

Meditation doesn’t mean only to sit for some time and enjoy the music of flute around with the aroma fragrance. Meditation is something exploring yourself – devoting time for yourself – talking to your inner sense – Knowing about yourself and more and more concentration towards own. It is time to feel yourself as your lungs breathe and your heart-beats.

Mediation means to connect to the vibrations around you, receiving the universal cosmic energy and utilize it to improve your physical & mental health. 

Dear friends, I hope adapting these soulful habits will really help you to achieve a happy and delightful life.

Stay tuned to my blog for the next post……….!!!!
