Tips to improve your mood.

Moods take us over involuntarily. No exceptions. Moods create us and spoil us too.

Here are a few simple techniques to improve your moods:

1. Sullen moods invade us only when we are idle. So, get up and do some work you really like. You can do it just for two minutes.

2. Drink something hot. Whenever our body energy is at it lowest ebb, we sink into bad temper without realizing the cause.

3. Sometimes, it will be shocking to note that you are sitting in the dark that gets into us without our permission.

4. Music is a great spoil sport to bad moods. Try to sing along with your favorite song.

5. You may be worrying over something. Realize that worrying is the most futile emotion in the world. If worrying does something good, then, everything in this world is worth worrying about-right?

Who is responsible for the hostile forces?


We hear, read and experience so many hostile forces in our life. Anger is a hostile force. They don't belong to you exclusively. It is not in you. It belongs to everyone.They circulate in the atmosphere. It wanders here and there. If you close the door, it will not enter.

Envy is one such hostile force. You can cite so many such negative forces that we embrace. But we blame fate, bad time for the miseries that happen because we recognize and respond to those negative emotions.

Have you thought on these lines that there is a necessity for the hostile forces? Please be aware that they exist because you gave a reason to exist. There is something in you which answers them. If nothing in you responds, if they had no hold upon any part of your nature, they would retire and leave you.

I learnt this by reading the wonderful writings of 'The Mother" of Shri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry, India.

How to convert your self talking habit into manifest desires?

All about reprogramming subconscious mind, affirmations, auto-suggestion centers around self talk.

If you are talking to your spouse, children, colleagues, boss for about 60 minutes a day, do you know how many minutes you are talking to yourself?

It will be a minimum of 120 minutes! If that is the case, have you ever wondered what was it that you were talking to yourself?

* Were you just rehearsing the conversations with others?
* Were you cursing yourself for not doing something properly?
* Were you just day dreaming?

If you care to analyze honestly, you would be pumping your mind, especially your inner self with negative rubbish!

Whatever it may be, you can convert those 120 minutes into something extraordinarily productive. The possibilities are so mind boggling that you would certainly curse yourself (again but for a better purpose) for not knowing about it earlier.

Why are you still waiting?



I am thinking aloud on the reasons for the difference between people who are getting what they want and those who never get anything.
I would like take my focus away from the first category of people and talk to the second category that comprises most of the mankind who have firmly concluded already that their life is on hold and that is why they are not manifesting anything they want.
On a further analysis of this majority of people, I sense 50% of them lack motivation. They seem to be waiting for something or somebody to place them on the first category of successful people.
Tell me,
· Are you waiting for an angel or someone to come along?
· Are you waiting on a great job to fall into your lap?
· Are you waiting on winning the lottery to plan your retirement?
I would like to cite an example here. One of my very close friends sought my help to start a blog on spirituality. I obliged him, taught him the basics of blogging and helped him to publish his first blog post. This happened in the year 2008. That's it! Not a single word was further added to his blog. He is simply waiting for a cosmic force to reveal divinely the art of blogging.
He is a grand example of people who wait for something to unfold instead of reaching out to pull a string that would unfold the life’s surprises. The only difference between him and the people, who are getting what they want, is that they kept moving and he didn’t.
Stop waiting, move man, move!
