HAPPINESS MAINLY COMES FROM OUR OWN ATTITUDE, RATHER THAN FROM EXTERNAL FACTORS.” ~DALAI LAMA
DEMANDING LOVE VS. SHARING LOVE
If you expect your partner to make you happy, you are demanding love. If you were happy when you were single, you’re more likely to be happy in your relationship. And when you’re happy, you can focus on “sharing your love” instead of “demanding happiness.”
Do you see how this can make a world of difference in your relationship? When you go from “needing” love, affection, and support to fill a hole in yourself, to “sharing” love and happiness from a place of fullness, your relationship (and life!) will blossom into something truly amazing and lasting.

YOUR MENTALHEALTH ISIMPORTANT
Mental health includes emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, act, make choices, and relate to others. Mental health is more than the absence of a mental illness it’s essential to your overall health and quality of life. Self-care can play a role in maintaining your mental health and help support your treatment and recovery if you have a mental illness.
Self-care means taking the time to do things that help you live well and improve both your physical health and mental health. When it comes to your mental health, self-care can help you manage stress, lower your risk of illness, and increase your energy. Even small acts of self-care in your daily life can have a big impact. Here are some tips to help you get started with self-care:
Get regular exercise. Just 30 minutes of walking every day can help boost your mood and improve your health Small amounts of exercise add up, so don’t be discouraged if you can’t do 30 minutes at one time.
Eat healthy, regular meals and stay hydrated. A balanced diet and plenty of water can improve your energy and focus throughout the day. Also, limit caffeinated beverages such as soft drinks or coffee.
Make sleep a priority. Stick to a schedule, and make sure you ’ re getting enough sleep. Blue light from devices and screens can make it harder to fall asleep, so reduce blue light exposure from your phone or computer before bedtime.
Try a relaxing activity. Explore relaxation or wellness programs or apps, which may incorporate meditation, muscle relaxation, or breathing exercises. Schedule regular times for these and other healthy activities you enjoy such as journaling.
Set goals and priorities. Decide what must get done now and what can wait. Learn to say “ no ” to new tasks if you start to feel like you ’ re taking on too much. Try to be mindful of what you have accomplished at the end of the day, not what you have been unable to do.
Practice gratitude. Remind yourself daily of things you are grateful for. Be specific. Write them down at night, or replay them in your mind.
Focus on positivity Identify and challenge your negative and unhelpful thoughts
Stay connected. Reach out to your friends or family members who can provide emotional support and practical help.
Self-care looks different for everyone, and it is important to find what you need and enjoy. It may take trial and error to discover what works best for you. In addition, although self-care is not a cure for mental illnesses, understanding what causes or triggers your mild symptoms and what coping techniques work for you can help manage your mental health.

Walking in wholeness with the soul is a true demonstration of success
Success comes as the by-product of a life lived from the inside out. The key to living a successful life is grasping the awareness that you are enough. Once you understand you are enough, you create the space within your consciousness that allows you to realign harmoniously with your essential self or highest good.
Success Is Wholeness
One of the early pioneers of spiritual psychology, Carl Jung, suggested our psyche, or soul, consists of three specific parts: the persona, the ego, and the essential self. The persona is the aspect of ourselves we wish to present to the world. The ego is the “I,” or the personality. It is the aspect of ourselves we believe ourselves to be.
These two are highly powerful and can cause us to believe in the illusion of failure when they are out of alignment with the third aspect of our soul, our essential self, or “God Self.” If we allow ourselves to be moved by the world of effects, our attention is pulled away from the true callings of our soul. And as the saying goes: Where attention goes, energy flows. Most of us are products of a society that defines success in terms of material supply. Yet true success is demonstrated by wholeness, which is only experienced by walking in alignment with the needs of your soul.
To only view success as a demonstration of a certain level of material or financial status gained through ambition is to only grasp a small portion of your soul’s potential.
For example, after a couple of internships, and an unsuccessful stint in law school, I reached a crossroads in my own personal development, which made me question my desire to practice law. It took some time, and serious truth telling, but I soon discovered I was pushing myself toward a vision of success based on money, not wholeness. Yet in this discovery, I was able to find that education advocacy, teaching, counseling, and researching consciousness were subjects that fascinated me.
I devoted my full attention toward my passions, and I watched my soul blossom as a result. In fact, it’s how I met my wife, which was confirmation for me that I was on the right path.
Third John 1:2 offers some insight into the theme of success. The King James Bible words the famous Scripture in this way: “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.”
Arguably one of the shortest books in the New Testament, the writer, John, begins with an opening address, but he projects an affirmation of health and wholeness toward the reader, which is very important in reference to our understanding of success and wholeness.
In fact, within the Greek translation of the Scripture, the writer does two things: He addresses the reader as a soul, instead of the usual English translation “ your soul,” as if it is a tangible object that one holds in their possession.
Also, the writer suggests that a part of the continuous unfolding of our essential self, or soul, is to exist, euodousthai, or to be being constantly in this good health or wholeness.
The word prosper in this instance in Greek is also the word euodousthai. It is a compound of eu, (to be good) and odos (a road or path). The word for good health is hugiainein, which means to be “sound,” or complete.
With the original translation taken in consideration, this text literally says prospering or prosperity means to have a “good journey.”
This helps readers to understand that success is a continuum, not a destination. It is more than merely a state of being, but it is an evolving stage of consciousness.
The action statements from this Scripture are signals from the divine spark, or cosmic consciousness, which is always seeking to express itself by means of us. In that light, this impulse is always in motion through our lives in an attempt to carry out its purpose.

Therefore, success is not a thing, but a process demonstrated through the expression of this divine force by means of you.
Material things will be added to your life as you share your talents with the world and reveal your innermost potential. However, material gain is only a small aspect of the joy, love, creativity, compassion, and kindness that you were truly sent here in this incarnation to receive and share.
Sharing these gifts is the demonstration of a successful life. This is the awareness that helps to transform the consciousness of the planet, one life at a time.
The Simple Secretes to success
How you do anything is how you do everything!
I heard this the first time from my friend, colleague and mentor, Gustavo Gonzalez. Gustavo is a master of business branding and identity and in supporting individuals to own their worlds.
Take a moment to read this sentence again, and fully absorb the meaning in these words, for they are the truest I have found.
How you do anything is how you do everything.
How you handle and manage any situation, challenge or experience in your life is how you probably handle all of them.
Because how you do anything is how you do everything, it is important to be honest about how you do the "anything".
For example, how do you perform at work? What are you friendships like? How to you approach a challenge?
As a matter of fact, it wasn't until this little phrase entered my world, that I really began to understand how I was going to move forward towards creating a new life for myself. It was going to be one action at a time. One "taking the high road moment" at a time. One carefully chosen word at a time.
If you are late with deadlines at work and do not pay close attention to detail, then the chances are that these characteristics can be seen in your personal life and relationships as well. If you often find yourself having conflict with friends and family members, you will probably find that there is conflict in the other areas of your life too.
So let me ask you this, do you fully understand how you do "anything"? And, if you aren't fully satisfied with your "anything", perhaps now is the time to break old patterns and set a new standard.
Do You want to change your life and where your headed?
Start with the little things! Start paying attention to everything and do your best no matter hw insignificant it may seem. Remember change doesn't happen over night.
