5 Tips on How to Be Happier in Life

noreply@blogger.com (Virat Patel) — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 10:22:00 +0000

1. Change Your Beliefs to Get Rid of Negative Thoughts

Negative thoughts don’t operate alone. They have an ally- something that gives them the confidence to attack you. That ally is your beliefs. No matter how hard you may try to change those negative thoughts into positive ones, if your beliefs are negative, being positive might be hard.

If you believe that your house would be robbed one day, no matter how much you say, “my house is free from burglars”, you’ll always be scared to death whenever you hear your window creak. And you definitely can’t be a happy person, knowing that you could be robbed at anytime.

If everyone around you has a common negative belief about something, let yours be different. You don’t have to shout it out loud so that everyone will hear it (I wouldn’t advise you to do that). But know it, deep down in your heart.

2. Ignore Your Beliefs to Clear Your Mind

Changing your beliefs can be hard, especially when you grew up having that belief. The statement, “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks” is sometimes true. The beliefs we’ve had from our childhood are always carried onto adulthood, with or without our knowledge.

So, instead of trying to change those hard core beliefs, simply ignore them. In other words,don’t believe everything you think.

The result? You’ll obviously clear your mind. Once you stop acknowledging those negative beliefs, you automatically ignore the negative thoughts clawing at your mind. Once that happens, it’ll feel as if you’re in a state of Zen or of Hakuna Matata (no worries).

This is the best time to take advantage and bombard your mind with self convincing positive talk.

3. Take a Risk to Boost Your Self Confidence

Sometimes, negative self talk is as a result of low self esteem. For some crazy reason, you just don’t believe that you’re capable of doing something. What do you do?

The answer is to simply act against your beliefs. It is possible to believe one thing but act contrary to that belief. In other words, dare your belief.

The first time I talked to a lady intimately (guys, you know what I mean), I was shunned. But instead of sulking, I smiled. I was happy I tried it, even though my mind told me otherwise. It wasn’t easy, but I did it.

If you’re in a school environment and believe that a particular course which you need to do is just too hard to pass, take that course. Even though you don’t pass it, you’ll be happy you did it. The same thing applies to every other negative belief you have about anything.

However, this rule has exceptions. For example, don’t go and put your hands in a dog’s mouth, believing it won’t bite you, because it will!

4. Stay around Happy People to Attract Happiness into Your Life

I’m a really quiet person. But I always find myself having friends that “vibrate” a lot- they’re never in one place. They’re either laughing, jumping, teasing or getting on your nerves. I guess that over time, their positive karma kind of rubbed off on me.

You get influenced by what and who you surround yourself with. Try putting ice block into hot water. You know what’ll happen.

If you find that your “unhappiness” is probably due to the unhappy friends you have, then you should find other friends. I’m not saying dump them but try to restructure your relationship. Find happy people with whom you can get along with well. Let their happiness rub off on you and then spread the love to your other friends who need a dose of happiness.

5. Make up Your Mind to Become and Stay a Happy Person

No matter how negative those thoughts are, they still respect your opinion. Why? Because they are just thoughts! Thoughts only influence your actions; they don’t force you to take a particular action.

When negative thoughts enter your mind, they don’t force you to be sober. A negative thought simply opens up your eyes to see the negative side of your life. That’s when you become sober. But what if you make up your mind to always see the positive side? You’ll continue to reduce the grip those thoughts have on you, until they’re almost non-existent. That’s the power of decision making.

Before you read the next sentence, make up your mind to start seeing yourself as an over-comer and not a loser. If you don’t make up your mind to become and stay happy, then you’ll probably start to carry a frown on your face, like I used to. You’ll fight everyone and blame everyone else for your unhappiness.

These principles aren’t hard. In fact, they’re so simple that you can start implementing them right now. The results won’t be immediate, but you’ll see yourself evolving into the kind of person that other negative and unhappy people would want to be like. Your actions and happy outlook would be enough encouragement for others. That is what happy people do!

How to accomplish a goal

noreply@blogger.com (Virat Patel) — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 12:49:00 +0000

Set a realistic but challenging/inspiring goal.
Take a big dream, like "I want to be famous", and break it down into smaller, more manageable steps, like "I want to star in a science fiction movie", "I want to go to three auditions a week", "I want to move to another city" and "I want to save $5000 so I can move." Make the goal big enough to challenge and excite you, but not so big that you hesitate to take the first steps.

Plan ahead.
Once you've broken down your goal into pieces, write down the steps on a piece of paper to make sure you have everything thought out. One of the worst things that can happen is you're almost to the point of your goal, but you're not sure what to do next. Also, give yourself deadlines for each step. Otherwise, you'll end up procrastinating and never achieving your dream.

Brainstorm ideas. Are there different ways to reach your goal?
Write everything down that you can think of in three minutes, no matter how silly or impossible it may seem. For example, you could go to acting school, or maybe you could land a spot in a reality show that would get you started.

Ask.
No one can tell you exactly what you should do to achieve your goal, but one of the best sources for guidelines is to ask those who have done what you hope to achieve. Learn from the experience of others without trying to imitate them.

Define and describe your goal.
Write down when you want to achieve it. Write down the reasons why you want it. Write down what it would feel like after you have achieved it. Figure out exactly what it will take to get it. Be realistic about the time things will take. Many people don't allow themselves enough time, and give up too soon.

Be positive.
Your goal should be written and have positive intent about what you want to bring into your life. This is very important, since the focus of your goal should not be centered around describing a problem you want to eliminate.

Make contingency plans.
Never forget about the problems that might come up on the way, and prepare for them. Positive thinking is important, but preparedness is better than being shocked or devastated when obstacles appear.

Learn from mistakes.
Making mistakes should be a subject at school to teach all children how to learn from them, instead of trying to avoid them. In the pursuit of a goal, you are likely to make some mistakes. Don't see them as bad or get angry. They are important to correct you and to lead you to success.

Draw on all your past achievements that are relevant to your goal.
No matter how small you perceive your achievements, list them anyway. It could be something small, such as joining a healthy eating mailing list, to coming home from work late, yet preparing a tasty nutritious meal for your family in under 30 minutes. Once you review your list, you will be amazed at how all those small achievements soon add up, and how much you are really capable of doing.

Visualize.
Close your eyes and imagine yourself accomplishing your goals. Where are you? How did you get there? How do you feel? Do this often. Don’t get swayed easily with the noise and happenings going on outside. Put your attention on what you are trying to achieve. Remember the goal, and you will have control over the discomforts and difficulties. A good way to visualize is to practice self-hypnosis.

Listen to your internal dialogue.
What you are saying inside affects you physically, emotionally and mentally. Is your defense system inside trying to make you stick to your past, limiting beliefs and perceptions? Take over and challenge your inner critics. Monitor any excuses you might be making in relation to your goal. For example, saying "I don't finish work until late and won't have time to cook!" You must recognize that if you are truly passionate about your goal, it is up to you to make time.

Make a list of your personal strengths in relation to your goal.
For instance, if you have a healthy eating goal you might want to consider strengths such as your level of commitment to eating healthily, or the fact that you enjoy cooking and experimenting with new recipes or even that you are an excellent cook. The list of personal strengths you can draw up is endless.

Seek help.
Find the information, skills and knowledge that you need from other people, books, and audio or video programs. Speed up your learning process by emulating what other successful people have done. You save time and get results faster. Self-hypnosis audios are a powerful way to help you get fast, permanent results.

Create benchmarks or milestones.
A benchmark is something you can use to measure your progress and know you're on track. For example, you can write "The first stage of reaching my goal will be done when I'm in the Entertainment section of the newspaper!" or "I'll know I've reached my goal of being famous when I'm a guest on Oprah."

Make a timeline.
Draw a horizontal timeline with a dot at each end. The left end represents now, and the right end represents a point in the future. Specify what you want to happen and when, from now until then.

Be passionate.
Striving towards a goal without passion is like a fire which slowly runs out of fuel to burn. Get excited; this will mean that you will love what you are doing. Methodically check your behaviors against impassioned dreams developed as a child. Always share the child within amongst your potential peers. This empowers the Law of Attraction that shapes the dreams of the child into the creative force of the adult.

Revisit, evaluate, and if necessary, adjust your goals.
Keep a written record of your goals in a place where you'll remember to read them every day. They'll change and adjust over time as your life does, so keep them up-to-date.

Consider new opportunities and options that come your way.
Sometimes things have a way of unintentionally leading you exactly where you want to go.

Start working towards your goals today.
Ask yourself, "What can I do today to get one step, however small, closer to achieving my goals?"

Persevere.
Now that you've got the momentum going, don't let it stop! Some steps may seem less exciting than others, but make sure to stick to your plan until the end!

Principles....for lifetime

noreply@blogger.com (Virat Patel) — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 12:45:00 +0000

(1) Never think or speak negatively about yourself; that puts you in disagreement with God.

(2) Meditate on your God-given strengths and learn to encourage yourself, for much of the time nobody else will.

(3) Don't compare yourself to anybody else. You're unique, one of a kind, an original. So don't settle for being a copy.

(4) Focus on your potential, not your limitations. Remember, God lives in you!

(5) Find what you like to do, do well, and strive to do it with excellence.

(6) Have the courage to be different. Be a God pleaser, not a people pleaser.

(7) Learn to handle criticism. Let it develop you instead of discourage you.

(8) Determine your own worth instead of letting others do it for you. They'll short-change you!

(9) Keep your shortcomings in perspective - you're still a work in progress....

(10) Focus daily on your greatest source of confidence - the God Who lives in you

Be Good to Yourself ...!!

noreply@blogger.com (Virat Patel) — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 04:23:00 +0000

Trust yourself

You know what you want and need.

Put yourself first.

You can't be anything for anybody else

unless you take care of yourself.

Let your feelings be known.
They are important.

Express your opinions.
It's good to hear yourself talk.

Value your thinking.
You do it well.

Take the time and space you need.
Even if other people are wanting something from you.

When you need something, don't talk yourself out of it.
Even if you can't have it, it's ok to need.

When you are scared, let someone know.
Isolating yourself when you're scared makes it worse.

When you feel like running away,

let yourself feel the scare.
Think about what you fear will happen
and decide what you need to do.

When you're angry, let yourself feel the anger.

Decide what you want to do.
Just feel it, express it, or take some action.

When you're sad, think about what would be comforting.

When you're hurt, tell the person who hurt you.
Keeping it inside makes it grow.

When you have work to do and you don't want to do it,
Decide what really needs to be done and what can wait.

When you want something from someone else, ask.
You'll be okay if they say no.
Asking is being true to yourself.

When you need help, ask.
Trust people to say no if they don't want to give.

When people turn you down,
It usually has to do with them, and not with you.
Ask someone else for what you need.

When you feel alone, know there are people
who want to be with you.
Fantasize what it would be like to be with each of them.
Decide if you want to make that happen.

When you feel anxious, let yourself know that in your head.
You've moved into the future to something scary
And your body has gotten up the energy for it.
Come back to the present.

When you want to say something loving to someone,
go ahead.
Expressing your feeling is not a commitment

When someone yells at you, physically support yourself
By relaxing into your chair or putting your feet firmly on the floor.
Remember to breathe.
Think about the message they are trying to get across to you.

When you're harassing yourself, stop.
You do it when you need something.
Figure out what you need and get it.

When everything seems wrong,
You are overwhelmed and need some comforting.
Ask for it.
Afterwards, you can think about what you need to do.

When you want to talk to someone new and are scared,
breathe.
Don't start rehearsing, just plunge in.
If it doesn't go well, you can stop.

If you're doing something you don't like to do,
(such as smoking or overeating), Stop.
Think about what you really want.

If you're stuck and can't think clearly,
talk out loud to someone.

When you can't think straight,
Stop thinking. Feel.

When you're in need of love, reach out.
There are people who love you.

When you're confused, it's usually because you think you should
Do one thing and you want to do another.
Dialogue with yourself or present both sides to a friend.

When you feel harried, slow down.
Deliberately slow your breathing, your speech, and your movements.

When you have tears, cry.
When you feel like crying and it's not a safe place to cry,
Acknowledge your pain and promise yourself a good cry later.
Keep your promise.

When everything seems gray, look for color.

If one of these rules seems wrong for you, talk about it with someone.
Then, rewrite it so it fits you.
Remember, Be Good To Yourself!

A true quote:
if silence is meant to be the best for all situations...then why we all get so hurt when people don't talk to us??

************************************************************************************

one of the very true & greatest illusions of life is that....
"we always believe there is more time in tomorrow then today"

************************************************************************************

we work for making better tomorrow
but when tomorrow comes
instead of enjoying again we start
thinking for better tomorrow.
thts life

************************************************************************************

when we were small we laughed less
but there was infinite hidden happiness
as we grow up we learn to laugh more to hide the unspoken sadness

*************************************************************************************

perfect pearl:
rememeber that
no one will understand you perfectly in life
just give credit to those who have atleast tried to do it...

**************************************************************************************

a heart dies when it is not able to share its feelings..but a heart kills itself
when another heart doesn't understands its feelings....

***************************************************************************************

loving someone doesn't need a reason
if u can explain why u love someone it's called 'like'
if u can't explain it's simply called 'love'

****************************************************************************************

heart melting words:
tears will'nt come when u miss a person,
it comes when u don't want to miss a person....just feel it!!!

********************************************************

beautiful truth against gravity:
the heart feels light when someone is in it.
but it feels very heavy when someone leaves it......

sharing problems & asking for help doesn't mean that we are weak or incompetent,
it usually indicates an advanced level of trust.......

*****************************************************************

walking alone is not difficult...but
when we walked a mile with someone,
then coming back alone is more difficult....

******************************************************************

a very nice observation:
the world's best friends never have the same nature
they just have the best 'understanding' of their 'differences'

************************************************

don't judge a person by what other's say
the person may be true to you but not to others
because the same sun which melts the ice hardens the clay too..

************************************************************************

don't feel bitter that people remember you only when they need you
feel privileged that you are like a candle that comes to mind when there's a power failure

************************************************************************

truth of life:
we make them cry who care for us,
we cry for them who never care for us
& we care for them who will never cry for us...

*************************************************************************

smooth roads never make good drivers
clear sky never make good pilots
problem free life never makes strong person
so don't ask life 'why me?'
say 'try me'......

******************************************************************************************************

you can fall in love with the personality of any one
but remember finally you have to live with the character & not with the personality....

*******************************************************************************************************

mistakes are painful when they happen
but years later a collection of mistakes is called experience
which leads you to success....

*********************************************************************

life is like a piano.
shite keys are happy moments & black keys are sad moments
but remember both keys are played together to give sweet musicc...

**********************************************************************

often we stand at life's crossroads & view what we think is the end.
but GOD has much vision &
he tells us 'relax my child' its just a 'bend'...

******************************************************

we live in our dreams,but dreams may die.
don't get shattered,never ever cry;
the world is big & has lots to give
pick up a new dream
thats the way to live...

*******************************************************

when you feel you are alone in a crowd
when you think no one can understand you
when you hate your life
just close your eyes & see her face who loves you more than anyone else
who cares for you in loneliness & dies for you when you cry
she is no one but your sweet loving MOM...

**********************************************************************************

the best relationship is not the one which is free from problems & misunderstandings
its the one where a sorry & a smile can make everything perfect as before...

**********************************************************************************

a good relation does not depend on how good understanding we have
but it depends on how better we avoid misunderstandings...

every one has a 'best friend' during each stage of life

Helpful Tips on Eye Care

noreply@blogger.com (Virat Patel) — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 04:26:00 +0000

With so many of us spending lots of time in front of the computer every day it comes to no surprise that research is showing a rise in visual problems. What can one do? First, it’s important to find out how you can protect your eyes through eye health exams and by making a few minor changes in your computer viewing habits.

Here are some helpful Eye Care Tips -

Positioning is everything
Correct positioning of your computer, keyboard and typing copy is essential. Your screen should be positioned about an arm’s length from your eyes and 20 degrees below eye level. Consider foot and wrist rests for added comfort.

Lighting can make all the difference
Room lighting should be diffuse, not direct, to reduce glare and reflections from your screen. Look into an internal or external glare screen and be sure to set your colour, contrast and brightness levels to suit you.

A little extra help for your glasses
Anti-reflective coatings on the lenses of your glasses can be applied by your optometrist to reduce discomfort and to ease reduced vision from bright and/or flickering light sources such as VDTs and fluorescent lights. And don’t forget, your doctor of optometry can talk to you about eyeglasses designed specifically for people who use computers a lot.

Step I :-
After every 20 minutes of looking into the computer screen, turn your head and try to look at any object placed at least 20 feet away. This changes the focal length of your eyes, a must-do for the tired eyes.

Step II :-
Try and blink your eyes for 20 times in succession, to moisten them.

Step III :-
Time permitting of course, one should walk 20 paces after every 20 minutes of sitting in one particular posture. Helps blood circulation for the entire body.

It’s all in the blinking
Did you know that on average we blink 12 times per minute? But wait, did you know that when we’re on the computer we only blink 5 times per minute? That can add up to dry eyes. Relieve the discomfort by using artificial tear drops or gels and remember to blink!

Palming
Sit straight at your workstation and rub your palms against each other till you feel them warm. The warmth of your palms helps soothe and relax tired eyes. Then, lightly cup your eyes with your palms and relax for 60 seconds. Count the seconds in your mind. Repeat this exercise two to three times whenever your eyes feel tired, or as often as you want. While palming, you can either rest your elbows on your desk or keep away from the desk and cup your eyes. Both ways are fine.

Splash water on your face
During breaks, splash water on your face while closing your eyes. This has an overall relaxing effect and helps you feel refreshed.

Use tea bags
Keep two used tea bags in the refrigerator before you leave for work. Once you are home, place the tea bags on your eyes for a few minutes as you relax. This not only soothes tired eyes, but also reduces puffiness.

Eat healthy
Incorporate Vitamins A, C, and E on a daily basis; eat citrus fruits, green leafy veggies, tomatoes, spinach, poultry and dairy products. Pack a box of chopped carrots, cucumber and fresh fruits and munch in-between meals at the office.

noreply@blogger.com (Virat Patel) — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 09:52:00 +0000

Next release from Adobe for flash platform is Flex 4.6.

Flex 4.6 is the next major step in cross-platform mobile application development. With a scheduled release later this year, the new version of the SDK and a corresponding free update to Flash Builder will offer a host of new components and functionality specifically designed to help create applications for the latest mobile and tablet devices.

In next release of flex 4.6 many new components will be added.

SplitViewNavigator
A new top-level application component specifically designed for the tablet experience. With only a few lines of code, manage the layout of multiple views and have them adapt automatically based on device orientation.

CallOutButton
A versatile component that pops over existing content and can contain text, components or even entire views.

SpinnerList
This popular tablet component is an adaption of the existing List component. It not only has a new look, but also gives options like recirculating content and a position based selection model.

DateSpinner
A highly flexible component that is not only locale-aware, but provides multiple out-of-the-box configurations to fit most date/time entry needs.

Text Enhancements
Flex 4.6 solves the problem of cross-device text input. Flex exposes the native text-editing controls on EVERY platform—this enables the developer to customize the keyboard and the user to experience the native UI of common operations like selection, copy/paste and spelling checking.

ToggleSwitch
This simple and much-requested control is now available in Flex 4.6.
