Maintaining a calm state in everyday life!!!smiley-cool.gif

 

It's going on 6 days that I have consciously tried to remain in a calm state all the time!

Here's a few thoughts about this experience:

                                   IT IS VERY HARD TO DO!!!smiley-frown.gif

                                   IT ADDS QUALITY TO MY LIFE!!!smiley-laughing.gif

The hardest part of maintaining this state is;

                                 CONTROLING NEGATIVE THINKING AND SCARY THOUGHTS!!!!!!! 

Especially when you were brought up with tense, negative and scared parents and other family

members - who were terrified almost all the time of everybody and everything and warned you

not to trust, not to be friendly b e c a u s e   y  o u   w i l l   g e t   hurt badly. Furthermore, who

were afraid of losing you, who made you feel incompetent and unsure of your abilities - certain that

you will break your neck someday.smiley-yell.gif

So the story goes you grow up and act in the same way your parents did - trapped in ineffective reactions to events and people which causes you pain and suffering and which lead to loneliness,

sadness and dissatisfaction........................................BUT..............................................

Deep inside of you is a little voice that says there's a better way.... and time flies by and the voice grows stronger and you get weary of all the pain and suffering and you start to listen(only partly at

first) and you search and you learn knew inspiring information. Finally you are so tired of being bruised and battered that you listen with full attention and you experiment with some of the new

ways of living that you have learned about!!!

THERE ARE SO MANY UP AND DOWNS BUT THINGS ARE DEFINITELY IMPROVING. YOU START TO

EXPRESS YOUR TRUE SELF: THE YOU THAT IS CALM, LOVING, FRIENDLY,OPTOMIST,WISE AND

AN EXCELLENT PROBLEM SOLVER. 

MIRICLES START TO HAPPEN THINGS AND PEOPLE START TO CALM DOWN IN YOUR LIFE  -

YOUR OUTER WORLD STARTS TO REFLECT YOUR INNER WORLD.

YOU START TO LIVE THE LIFE YOU ALWAYS WANTED AND THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING!!!! smiley-cool.gif

God Bless you. I wish I could learn to maintain a sense of calm and peace, but I am not very good at it. You truly are an inspiration.
