Day 28 / 90 Day Video Challenge / The real you !!~~

When you’re ready to wake up, you’re going to wake up, and if you’re not ready you’re going to stay pretending that you’re just a ‘poor little me.’ And since you’re all here and engaged in this sort of inquiry and listening to this sort of lecture, I assume you’re all in the process of waking up. Or else you’re teasing yourselves with some kind of flirtation with waking up which you’re not serious about. But I assume that maybe you are not serious, but sincere – that you are ready to wake up.

So then, when you’re in the way of waking up, and finding out who you really are, what you do is what the whole universe is doing at the place you call here and now. You are something that the whole universe is doing in the same way that a wave is something that the whole ocean is doing… The real you is not a puppet which life pushes around; the real, deep down you is the whole universe.” – Alan Watts

10 Ways to complain less !!~~ ReBlogged From TINY BUDDHA

 Change the way you think.This requires a new practice of being mindful.When you find yourself thinking or saying anegative comment about something or someone,stop and force yourself to say something positive instead.Enlist the help of a cheerful friend to stop you whenyou complain and help you to see the positive in the situation.

Allow yourself to vent every once in a while.Constantly ignoring your negative thoughts could add up.If you are really going through a rough time, don’t be afraidto  share with a close friend or family member or see a therapist.Don’t feel ashamed if you need to talk through negative feelings.

Practice yoga.Yoga is a great way to exercise, relax, and learn.Yoga focuses on breathing, movement,and meditation and helps you to control your mind and body.Our minds often race in a million directions.Yoga can help you calm your racing thoughtsand be more positive with your intentions. 

Train yourself to be less judgmental.We often complain about others because we think they arenot up to our standards. Once you stop judging peoplewithout knowing their stories, you will most likelycomplain less about the things people do.For example, constantly complaining aboutthe service in a restaurant is not helpful.You don’t know what kind of a day your waiteror waitress has had or what problems are going on behind the scenes.If you put yourself in their shoes for a minute,you may be more kind and relax about the situation.

Make a list of things you’re grateful for.Stopping for a minute and thinking of all the greatthings and amazing people in your life will probablyput any silly complaints you had to rest. 

Be the change you wish to see in the world.Next time you’re with your friends, family, or co-workersand engaged in a complaint fest, speak up or quiet down.Depending on the crowd, either speak up to stop thecomplaining and change the subject to somethingsunnier or simply be quiet and don’t complain yourself. 

Accept responsibility.If something is bothering you, either fix itor accept that nothing can be done right now,so why complain? Complaining is a passive activity.Change that complaining into action to solvethe problem or simple accept it andgive your mind something else to focus on.

Find what makes you happy.Sometimes this list can be easy,full of hobbies you enjoy. Sometimes it requiresdeeper introspection. Are you constantly complainingabout your job? Maybe it is time to move on to another job or career.Uncover what your biggest complaints areabout and see if you can change the situation to make you happy.

Take care of yourself.Stress and a busy lifestyle can often take overour lives and break down anyone’s positive spirit.Take time out from your life for just you.Make sure you get to see that movie you weredying to watch, take a hot bath, head to your exercise class,get a manicure, play sports, or do whatever relaxesand energizes you. It could just put you in a new frame of mind.

Simply ask yourself when you open your mouth:would you rather complain or be happy?Choose happiness, focusing on the positive,and being kind always!

It is your choice and no one else’s.What is your foolproof way to stop complaining? [ Lauren Stewart ]
