5 steps to start committing to change.

Image
                In my other articles, I have said that to start something is half the battle. Today I’m going to talk about the other half. What is to come after we start our journey? How do we keep up the pace we started with?         One thing you will have to be ready all the time when you are about to start something is Frustration. What is frustration, and how does it impede our path? Frustration is a feeling that wants to bring us to our knees, to stop whatever we’ve started. It’s completely OK to be frustrated from time to time. We usually become frustrated when we’re not living up to our expectation or when our goals seem unreachable. I’ve some methods to counter with this problem which I do hope will help you out work hard against the odds. 1.    Be prepared for the worst            Many people believe that we have to prepare to embr...

Why is a moderate change better than radical ones?

         In the previous post, Removing the activities you don’t need in your life, you may’ve noticed that radical change is not the best way in changing your activities. In some occasions radical changes may be needed. For instance, stopping to be extravagant can be stopped instantly if we have the will.                     “The only thing that is constant                                                Is change .” Heraclitus   .            Change is a need for mankind and is inevitable. It’s not just limited to man; the entire world and even the universe change....

2 things to do to remove the things you don't want in your life

    2 things to do to remove the things you don't want in your life In the earlier post, how to make the time for what really matters I had mentioned that removing the activities we don’t need is a great way of making spare time for those things we want to involve in. but this can be a daunting task. I believe these steps can help you identify the useless activities and annihilate them from your time table. 1.     Sort out the useless activities from the useful. This is definitely the hardest task: to separate the rotten from the fresh. There is no simple rule to sort them out since everybody’s way of spending time differs. But, I’d like to point out these two that affect huge numbers of people: ·         Watching TV : I bet that this is the most widespread way of killing time. WAIT! Why do we even use of the term “killing time”. Why’d anyone want to kill time? Isn’t it the most precious entity one owns? Sadly, v...

How to make the time for what really matters?

Image
              Let me start today by asking one simple question                        “Are you doing the things that you want to do?”   Before rushing to answer the question, let’s take a deep breath and calm our mind for a moment … now, what are your wants? We all have got to answer this question before moving on to the primary question (which is literally a yes or no question). While you start to think about these, you’ll have noticed that the answer is going to be a long list, so it’ll be preferable to have a pen and a piece of paper handy.    To give you a tip while writing them down, have three categories where 1.     Things/activities that give you the most joyful moments 2.    Things/activities you do for fun but have a potential in earning you an income or can...

How is the modern age changing us? ( Part 3 )

                                  3. Day to day activities.         In general, we human beings are living considerably different way of life. The activities of a person these days are unlikely to include, gathering and hunting for food. Instead, they are likely to incude watching TV, shopping, driving a car, eating in a restaurant and other common practices done by the today’s world.         As I have mentioned in the earlier posts, our way of life is the main reason for the countless problems we’re encountering today. I’ve also mentioned that living a sedentary life has its own consequences. A sedentary lifestyle has a typical behaviour – low immobility. Working is today defined both physically and mentally. In fact a job that involves more mental work than a physical work is prized by majority of people (i...

How is the modern age changing us? (Part 1)

Image
Introduction As the subject concerning the “modern age” is one of the main aspects of the blog, I hope readers may be interested in a post regarding this topic. So I’d like to write a few continuous posts that are focused on this point. 1.     Health.               Has the health of people improved through the years? Short answers, yes. People are indeed enjoying higher life expectancy. According to the statistics, people are living longer. But what exactly brought this change? It’s an easy question. Throughout the past centuries, our knowledge regarding diseases and medicine has increased remarkably along others. This has led to the production of better medicines and led people to devise quality surgical methods.               It’s no wonder we humans on average have better health status than our ancestors with all this security against diseases. But interestingly e...

4 ways to be a mentally Independent person.

                             Being mentally independent is the start of all types of independence. Be it financial, social,emotional…. Therefore clearing the mind first before any step; major or minor is crucial so I thought it will be great to write on how to simply make our mind at its best efficiency for us. 1.     Hope, don’t regret.           Hope is the only reason we human beings live for. Being a rational animal has its drawbacks. First, we are adjusted to look back to what we have lost in the past. We spend our precious time trying to figure out if it wasn’t for that thing or the other that came before it.          Just to remind you of what effects it has in our lives – IT DOESN’T MATTER! True, it may be the reason that some people are acting towards us. But don’t be like them. They’re people who live in the past.  ...
