Cut Off From Work Communication And Technology Before Sleep
Being entangled in work related communication late into the evening keeps the mind thinking about work even when we go to sleep and disturbs our sleep. We are aware of our technology usage getting out of control and impacting our daily life negatively. Using technology till bedtime for work communication is unhealthy for the mind and the body.
1. Before technology took over, your mind was with yourself and your family once you returned home from work. Today your mind is connected to work late night, early morning and even on holidays. You keep checking emails, making calls or replying to messages.
2. Reading about issues from work just before sleep stimulates your mind to keep thinking about it for long. An already tired mind gets more fatigued. So even if your body has rested at night, your mind does not get charged positively and you feel tired even after getting up.
3. Fix and follow the discipline of switching off from office communication, at least 2 hours before you go to sleep. Spend time with your family and with yourself. Don’t login just because someone else does it. Trust yourself that your tasks from that day are complete and perfect and you have the next day to finish any work which is pending.
4. Meditate for at least 10 minutes before bedtime. This silences your mind and prepares it for sleep. Your mind will get rest and become rejuvenated in the night. The next day you will be creative, intuitive and more productive at work.

Positive Thinking And Visualization
We constantly hear about thinking positive, cultivating a positive mindset, being positive, and so on. Let’s understand its meaning. Positive thinking means right thinking at every moment. We expect the best, visualize the best to happen, but we also accept the outcome, whatever it may be. We accept that the outcome is accurate at this moment, according to our karmic accounts. This acceptance is a critical part of positive thinking.
Sit back and see how you tune your mind for positive thinking -
Affirmation:
I am a powerful being. I am contented with every scene of my life. Everything is happening exactly as it is meant to be…. the right way and at the perfect time. I create only positive thoughts in every scene ... my thoughts reflect my peace, purity and power… I visualize only the best happening in the next scene…at home…at office…with friends…in every scene… I radiate my highest vibration to the scene with my right thoughts…. my vibrations elevate the next scene. Scenes today may not be my way. If people are not right, I record only one positive thought – It’s their nature, and their behaviour is accurate as per my karmic account with them. I respond with compassion and not rejection or hurt. Today situations may not be my way. I create only one positive thought – I understand this situation is as it was meant to be at the moment, accurate according to my past karmic accounts. My mind remains calm…no questions…no judgments…. I accept every scene. People can be their way ... situation can be the way it is meant to be ... I will be my way ... the right way ... and influence a positive outcome. My positive thoughts keep me happy and healthy.
Repeat this affirmation daily. You positive thinking will shift from expectations to acceptance. You will also not record negative impressions about the scenes. Your mind learns a new, positive language and creates only right thoughts.

Be Easy, Not Busy
We routinely use the vocabulary - I am very busy...I have no time. This mindset doesn't let us prioritize or manage time. We over-commit and under-deliver in every area of life. The turbulent energy of the word Busy conveys that we are not available to enjoy life's moments. Busyness makes us stressed about saving time, wasting time and constantly being in action. Just by saying busy..busy..busy… even if our schedule permits few hours of leisure, we won’t utilize it to care for ourselves or others. We don’t meet people, we call them. We don’t listen to them, we speak. We don’t connect, we just remain in contact. Today we have more responsibilities, more pressures, more expectations. More need not mean Busy. We can work 16 hours a day remaining calm and happy. Let’s start saying I am Easy, I have time for everything. The relaxed energy of the word Easy keeps us calm, focused and efficient. Then we won’t want time, we will have more time.
We come across professionals or housewives who work 14 hours a day remaining easy. We also meet school kids who say I am very busy, hurry up. Today the energy of being busy is in the air. When we consume and add it to our vocabulary, we radiate a message of having too much to manage and that we are not available for people. Being Easy or Busy indicate opposite states of your mind. They having nothing to do with the amount of work you do. Replace busy with easy and see the difference it makes to your emotional health. You will no longer hurry yourself or other people and create panic. You will go with the flow instead of resisting unexpected situations. You radiate vibrations of peace to your mind, health to your body, harmony to your relationships and happiness to your environment.

Newness At Every Step (Part 1)
Living a life of positivity and creativity makes life a beautiful journey which one loves completely and enjoys to the fullest extent. Different thoughts, words and actions full of newness and enthusiasm are the driving energy of your life. Life should not be a routine with the same type of thoughts, words and actions everyday. On the other hand, life should be a journey full of happiness and variety with different types of events and not the same scenes and situations everyday. Also making a lot of interactions with different types of people everyday gives life a new touch of positivity and relaxation which would not be possible if we met the same people everyday. So, make it a point to meet new people everyday and give life a new meaning and purpose by doing different types of creative activities. Even in your job, look for different types of activities which give life a new purpose. Don’t become accustomed to a similar routine everyday which can make the job or even the house work a boring exercise. Be creative and bring newness at every step.
Also, whenever you start your day, create a few positive thoughts or affirmations in your mind. Let them be full of success and a lot of determination which will keep you full of positive energy in the entire day, so that actions can be performed without getting tired. This is what joyful living is. Also, after every couple of hours in the day, stop your work for 3 minutes and check the thoughts in your mind. If they are going in the wrong direction, give them a new direction by meditating and creating a lot of powerful and positive thoughts or at times if you feel it more comfortable, experience silence in meditation by connecting with God, the Ocean of Peace. One is an expansion of thoughts and the other is packing up. Both are spiritual methods of empowering the mind. Both have their own benefits and help in mind control. Try either one depending on the situation. Also, throughout the day, talk to God and make Him a part of your life as you would make a close relative or friend, in the same manner.

Newness At Every Step (Part 2)
A very important aspect of newness in our lives is a different perspective to life’s situations. A positive perspective makes life experiences more beautiful. A positive minded person with a positive perspective looks at life differently than a person with a somewhat negative mindset. Let’s say a person is facing a challenge at work and is not being able to come to a solution to overcome it. If he were to look at the current crisis in his life with a different perspective, he would arrive at a solution much faster and more easily than if he were to remain with the same perspective which he has been keeping for a long time. Solutions to problems can be arrived at magically at times with a different attitude and view point. But to make life full of new ideas and thoughts, one needs to fill the mind with fresh knowledge, not only from the world but also from spiritual sources which talk a lot about the self and also about God. Remember the more you know about yourself and about the Supreme Being, the wiser you will become and will look at life with a fresh perspective, which is the key to success.
Also, looking at people’s specialties, in fact different specialties in different situations, adds a positive flavor to life. The same people will look different and nicer when you do that. Don’t forget, everyone has different specialties that we generally know and are aware of. Say, you are not on good terms with a person and you receive negative energy from that person regularly. See that person’s different specialties for a few days and you will never get tired of the situations involving him or her. This is practical positive thinking and also new thinking.

Newness At Every Step (Part 3)
Life which is above the ordinary makes it full of joy. Also, a spiritual perspective of joyful living is talking to yourself at all times and seeing positives in life’s situations, no matter how negative they may be. Along with that, loving each one and spreading the energy of good wishes in every relationship of yours makes life beautiful and full of positivity. Do this, once everyday, remember all those whom you are close to and say – You are all special souls and I have a pure bond full of love with you all. It is my positive good wish that you all remain extremely happy and full of all qualities and also you overcome different life situations easily and experience success at every step. This is giving blessings to everyone. This is positivity in karma and not only positivity kept restricted at the consciousness level, which is theoretical. Remember, people are one of the most important aspects of our life. So, interactions with them, which are positive and full of love, make life enjoyable and full of newness.
Even God should be admired and loved in a new light each day. In this way, a relationship with Him remains full of love and enthusiasm and not just a repetitive remembrance routine which is forgotten, once completed. In fact, God is our Father and Mother and even our Friend, Teacher and Guru. Remembering God through these different relationships and also remembering God’s different virtues or qualities is a way of loving God differently. E.g. you call God your Friend but do you experience that relationship with Him? Or you call God an Almighty source, but do you feel that might or power in your day-to-day life? So, everything you do should be full of variety and creativity, which will make life’s journey smooth and something to look forward to everyday.

Making Remembrance Of God Natural And Easy
One of the common complaints of modern day humans is that we cannot see God with our physical eyes and it is difficult to remember Him constantly. Also, it is seen that when many people listen about meditation and about connecting with God, they are not comfortable with the idea and they don't make an effort to practice meditation. Spirituality teaches that meditation is very easy and practicing it brings us closer to God and we can have beautiful experiences in such a spiritual journey. Let us look at 5 ways by which meditation can be made natural and easy -
1. Have Faith In God and Learn Who He Is - The first and foremost step in making a deep and meaningful link with God is knowing God closely - His name, form, qualities, role and where He stays. The next step is faith in this wisdom.
2. Listen To God's Wisdom And Get To Know Him Well - The next step in creating a deep relationship with God is to know His thoughts and feelings which He has for me, the soul and which He expresses about Himself, through the medium of spiritual wisdom given by God Himself.
3. Learn The Technique Of Meditation - Meditation is a beautiful and creative method of connecting with God. But we cannot experience success in it if we don't know its exact technique. When we meditate after knowing God closely and with the right technique, our lives get transformed and we feel empowered.
4. Make Meditation A Constant Part Of Your Life Journey - Meditation is beautiful when it is constant. Every action accompanied with meditation is called karmayoga. Karmayoga leads us to peace and bliss that we have never experienced before and makes us better, purer and more powerful souls.
5. Use Meditation In Different Spheres Of Your Life - When you are not physically or mentally well, or when your relationships are lacking peace, love or joy, or when there is a difficulty at work, use meditation to resolve any issue. This will make meditation a constant part of your life.
