Staying Positive Despite Uncontrollable Extraneous Factors
We live in a complex society with complex problems and complex solutions; nonetheless there are steps that we can take to feel more conscious and energized on a daily basis, regardless of how intense our life might become.
Having a Positive Mental Attitude
Having a positive mental attitude can make a major difference. Challenges are a normal part of life, but how we deal with them is key to how we feel in the end. Just remember PMA: Positive Mental Attitude. Even in the most challenging scenarios keep your mind positive.
Purpose
Allowing yourself to engage in a purpose that is true to your heart will take the focus off yourself. You can try to be the best employee or you can build a community activity. A positive purpose will help you feel more fulfilled.
Fitness
Integrating fitness into your daily life not only helps on an esthetic level; but also helps to release stress and tension that reside in your body. In Chinese medicine, movement also enables chi to flow which helps to unblock meridians (energy pathways in the body) helping the body and mind stay strong.
Diet
A natural and organic diet taxes the organs in your body less allowing your glands and nervous system to function better.
Breathe
“Every Step is a Breathe” is a Buddhist saying. Remember slowing down your breath and breathing more deeply will help you feel calmer and at ease; thus allowing you to deal with everyday challenges more consciously.
Social/Connection
Being connected socially will help you feel more grounded; this enables you to make sound decisions when necessary. A positive social circle can also provide support when you need it.
Spiritual Practice
A daily spiritual practice can fortify your spirit. Done on a regular basis it can help you connect to your heart, an important place to make decisions from.
