Every change in my life starts the same

Fear.

Quitting my job? Terrifying.
Moving to the mountains? Uncomfortable.
Starting my business? Felt impossible.

Flying after 8 years ? shaking 

But fear shouldn't be a stop sign.

Think of it as an arrow.

The phone call you don’t want to make.
The idea that won’t leave you alone.
The move that feels risky.

They’re not obstacles.
They’re invitations.

So, I try and follow a simple rule:

If something makes me nervous, I try my best to lean in.

Not because I like fear. I don't.

But because I know what’s on the other side — something great.

What you resist gets bigger.
What you confront gets smaller.

What's scaring you right now?

Maybe that's exactly where you need to go next .

The move you're most scared to make is the one that will change everything for you. 

What-are-the-top-three-things-you-do-to-keep-your-life-on-track?

1. I've learned to let go.

Of the past, because I can't change it.
Of a grudge that I was carrying around that was weighing me down.
Of regretting decisions I've made. 
Of judging myself so harshly.
Of worrying about what other people think of me.
Of always doubting myself.

This list could go on and on, but I think I've finally grown up and can accept myself just the way I am.

2. I've stopped comparing myself to other people.

I finally found out that if I wanted to suffer, the best way to do that was to compare myself to other people. I convinced myself "they" had more than I did, were more than I was, looked prettier than I did, were thinner than I was and that their lives were made up of only happiness and joy.
And the best place to compare yourself is Facebook, from what you eat, your relationships,what your house size, what you earn, and finally what snickers brand ? 

3. I choose to be happy instead of angry and bitter.

How is that possible you ask? Life isn't like that. It has ups and downs and it's very hard to be happy when you're in "the down's."

I agree, but instead of being angry at someone, I remembered that when I point my finger at them for their mistakes, there are three pointing back at me.

I always felt stressed. Everyone told me to get more exercise. I did and it worked. I still feel stressed at times, but the feeling is appropriate for the situation. 

I keep myself on track because I remember these five words: 

I let go of the past.

And finally call to action to you viewers .......

Emotions of a Week

No, that’s not it at all the emotions ...  We all hate having to get up on a Monday and head into work.  Ok that’s not always true, a lot of people love their jobs, or so they say. But even accepting a level of enjoyment at work, it does not change the fact that Monday morning is about the least popular time there is.

Even if you enjoy your work, you are going from where you want to be, to where you have to be, and probably on not enough sleep.  This morning I was woken at six on a Saturday, which is late in my household,  however, I then got to cuddle my pillows and got back to sleep, before climbing out of bed again at 9 to start the trudge back to reality.  A mug of tea and a shower later I was greeted by the sound of my neighbors TV Arsenal Live commentary.  

Quote of the day !!

Tip of the day

"If it falls your lot to be a street sweeper, go out and sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures. Sweep streets like Handel and Beethoven composed music. Sweep streets like Shakespeare wrote poetry. Sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will have to pause and say, here lived a great street sweeper who swept his job well.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.

Holidays

Some Things You Can Do Monday to Friday

Typically my Monday to Friday is like this ------>

But this Friday after a long exhausted week of training's and work I have found some "me" time to understand the changes   in my life. Keep reading it is coming.

Yes it is Friday evening!! Time is 8:32 pm British Summer Time, lovely weather outside 15 degrees sun is still shinning I am on my way to home :)

Change 1:

If you are regular reader of my blog you must be knowing this. There is no change in my tea habit, tea addiction just increased with up to 8 a day. I think I start my day with a tea even before brushing, then many teas at work and one more before sleep. I know sugar is bad for health but I can't stop having tea so I have stopped adding sugar in tea now and started adding ginger if @ home. Try thinking of a habit in you which needs attention and find a solution. The only person who can change you is yourself.

Change 2:

I started working on my future, start day dreaming and interestingly I am writing it down as well.

Yes future in the sense,

What you want to do next year / next month?

Where do you want to go for holidays?

What to learn? Where should I live / Work in 5 years’ time etc..

My future dreams is in a small paper in my bed side this is first thing I see every day. Try identifying your dreams where ever you are and start small steps to achieve it. Always think lazy mind is devils workshop. If you are having time for gossip means you are losing the time you spend on yourself.

Change 3:

My plan was to get something off my flat. Due to sentimental values towards friends and others I keep many things in flat, which includes some electronics that didn’t work for more than two years, books, old notes, old clothes etc. I have found a recycle point nearby and cluttered many items. Here is the thumb rule, if you got dresses in your wardrobe that you have not used for in the last two years then I should say better give it to someone to use it or give to charity. There is no point in keeping it there for another some more years.

Change 4:

This is an action item for me and you.

1. Organize your next week.
2. Decide your grocery if you are the person who cooks and eats most of it. 
3. Treat yourself with surprises and little pampering. It can be an old movie or a visit to a place nearby you dreamed off.
4. Position computer table / study table  (See Image )

Finally be happy and contented for the reason you are still alive. Don’t lose the hope in you and strengthen the spirit living in you.

See you guys

As always do commend / email me

Take care have a nice weekend

Best Regards

Simple Questions and Scientific Answers

In our life time

How to read your hand ?

Palm reading, otherwise known as palmistry or chiromancy, is practiced all over the world. It has its roots in Indian astrology and Roma fortune-telling.The objective is to evaluate a person’s character or future by studying the palm of their hand. Whether you’re an aspiring palm reader or you’re just looking for a fun way to pass the time and impress your friends, here’s how to gain insight just by holding someone’s hand.

Steps :

1) Choose a hand. In palmistry, it is thought that:

• For females, the right hand is what you’re born with, and left is what you’ve accumulated throughout your life.
• For males, it is the other way around. The left hand is what you’re born with, and the right is what you’ve accumulated throughout your life.
• That being said, you can also choose whichever hand is dominant to be your present/past life hand (the non-dominant hand would then be your future life hand).
  • There are different schools of thought on the matter. Some say the left hand shows potential and what could be — not necessarily what will be. And a difference in the hands could mean one is or is about to take action when it comes to their lives, changing it.

2) Identify the four major lines. There may be breaks in them or they may be short, but at least three of them are there.

• (1) The heart line
• (2) The head line
• (3) The life line
• (4) The fate line (not everybody has this).

 3) Interpret the heart line. This line can be read in either direction (from the pinkie finger to the index finger or vice versa) depending on the tradition being followed. It’s believed to indicate emotional stability, romantic perspectives, depression, and cardiac health. The basic interpretations are as follows:

• Begins below the index finger – content with love life
• Begins below the middle finger – selfish when it comes to love
• Begins in the middle – falls in love easily
• Straight and short – less interest in romance
• Touches life line – heart broken easily
• Long and curvy – freely expresses emotions and feelings
• Straight and parallel to the head line – good handle on emotions
• Wavy – many relationships and lovers, absence of serious relationships
• Circle on the line – sadness or depression
• Broken line – emotional trauma
• Smaller lines crossing through heart line – emotional trauma

4) Examine the head line. This represents a person’s learning style, communication approach, intellectualism, and thirst for knowledge. A curved line is associated with creativity and spontaneity, while a straight line is linked with practicality and a structured approach. The basic interpretations are as follows:

• Short line – prefers physical achievements over mental ones
• Curved, sloping line – creativity
• Separated from life line – adventure, enthusiasm for life
• Wavy line – short attention span
• Deep, long line – thinking is clear and focused
• Straight line – thinks realistically
• Donuts or cross in head line – emotional crisis
• Broken head line – inconsistencies in thought
• Multiple crosses through head line – momentous decisions.

5) Evaluate the life line. This begins near the thumb and travels in an arc towards the wrist. It reflects physical health, general well being, and major life changes (for example, cataclysmic events, physical injuries, and relocations). Its length is not associated with length of life. The basic interpretations are as follows:

• Runs close to thumb – often tired
• Curvy – plenty of energy
• Long, deep – vitality
• Short and shallow – manipulated by others
• Swoops around in a semicircle – strength and enthusiasm
• Straight and close to the edge of the palm – cautious when it comes to relationships
• Multiple life lines – extra vitality
• Circle in line indicates – hospitalized or injured
• Break – sudden change in lifestyle

6) Study the fate line. This is also known as the line of destiny, and it indicates the degree to which a person’s life is affected by external circumstances beyond their control.[3] It begins at the base of the palm. The basic interpretations are as follows:

• Deep line – strongly controlled by fate
• Breaks and changes of direction – prone to many changes in life from external forces
• Starts joined to life line – self-made individual; develops aspirations early on
• Joins with the life line somewhere in the middle – signifies a point at which one’s interests must be surrendered to those of others
• Starts at base of thumb and crosses life line – support offered by family and friends.
