Do this one thing to find energy, clarity and refresh your mind

Sometimes life just gets too much, don't you agree? Do you ever feel that you can't make clear decisions because your brain is tired and confused?

You need to take care of yourself when life challenges you. One thing I always find helpful is the power of silence.

I experienced it only a few times but it is really something that makes a big difference.

It is often difficult to find a quiet place - if you are lucky enough to live near an open space such as a forest or mountain or the countryside away from the city then take advantage of the silence. Sometimes we need to shut our brains down, breath gently and stop thinking. Noise prevents you from doing this.

So go somewhere silent. Not just quiet, but silent if you can. The silence will rest you. Certain sounds in nature are also restful so birds or water are not a problem but if you can find absolute silence it will work its magic on you. Close your eyes and stop thinking, relax for a while and rest.

If you do this it will bring you energy and clarity and help you become stronger.

Look after yourself and refresh your mind and this will help you in your life.

What is Self esteem exactly?

As part of running my various website about self esteem and depression I get many questions daily. It is amazing how I am able to help people from all over the world with just a few words in an email which I can write quickly. I really feel I am contributing and doing something positive.

Anyway, here's today's question:

"What is self esteem really?"

And here is my brief answer, please add your answer below in the comments section, love to hear how you would define self esteem.

Self esteem is:

"the value you put on yourself as a person. It is how you see yourself, do you have a lot of positive ideas about who you are and what you can offer to the world or do you think of yourself negatively? Low self esteem is when you don't like who you are and think you are worthless or a failure so high self esteem would be believing the opposite and feeling confident about YOU."

How to think more positively

I know it's hard sometimes to think positively. I have a tip for
you today, I hope it helps you change the way you think.

I often find that when I have a real challenge in my life or a
major decision that I have to be careful to not let fear in and
stay positive. many ask me "how can I think positively?"

To answer this - start asking yourself the how and stop the why
not inside you.

Let me explain..When you want something or need to do something
challenging start asking yourself "How can I do that? How can I
change that?" rather than focusing on the why nots.

Why nots are the reasons why something is difficult or what you
see as obstacles. Change your focus to possibilities rather than
difficulties. Your whole outlook will change.

Remember in any situation and whatever you face in your life you
are not without hope, you do not start from zero. Before you tell
yourself that it is too difficult, go through the advantages you
have. The truth is that you have a lot, even though you may tell
yourself otherwise.

So my message to you this week is this - to start thinking
positively, start with the positives and then ask yourself how
you can build on them.

I wish you success,

Until next week,
Karl Perera

How to be more positive...really - step by step

Ever noticed how some people are always positive and enthusiastic. I know people who seem to get excited about the smallest things and never seem to stop telling jokes and smiling...

If you want to improve your life and what you get out of it you need a positive mindset.

I've learnt this personally because for large parts of my life, (without really stopping to check the effect), I've been negative inside.

Now if you want that positive change in your life you need to seriously work towards programming yourself to be positive in all ways possible...

Over the next few days I'm going to give you step by step help with this. We will look at ways to change how you think and react to the world around you. I am going to give you a tip each day to become more positive...

The point of this positivity though is to help you change your life.

There are three steps you need to follow to change your life for the better:

step one - POSITIVE ATTITUDE AND MINDSET
step two - MAKE A DECISION
step three - TAKE ACTION

So tomorrow I will start with the first step and start the journey towards becoming much more positive.

Here's a quote to get you prepared for what's to come:

"You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you."

- James Allen
