May 1 - Tip NO : 60

• Emotions and feelings, are they same? - 1

They are quite different. But many of times we use these two words with same meaning. We explain
more or less the same thing - how we feel..!

• Emotions
• Emotions originate from amygdala, a part of limbic system. 
• They are lower level response centres of our brain. 
• Emotions are complex psychological state which results from an experience, which in turn results in physiological response and expressive or behavioural response.(which one or oneself can observe) 
• That is, it involves consciousness, sensation and behaviour. 
• Emotions are very powerful. Because your mood determine how you act at that particular time. 
• Emotions are caused by both internal and external factors.

• Feelings
• Feelings originate in the neocortical region of brain and are sparked by the emotions. 
• They are further colored by personal believes, past or present experiences and thoughts. 
• It's a byproduct of the brain experiencing and processing emotions.

You can practice methods to balance your emotions, and your feelings also will be under control.

May 2 - Tip NO : 61

• Do we have emotional maturity? - 2
• One important difference between a child and an adult is the emotional maturity she/he will exhibit in complex situations.
• It is the ability to handle situations without unnecessarily intensifying them.
• Those who don't have emotional maturity will seek to blame someone else for their problems or behavior.
• Instead of that emotionally mature people understand feelings of her/his own as well as the emotions of the other person. They accept accountability for their actions and will try to fix the problems by fine tuning themselves. 

Emotional maturity is not just a goal go reach, but a practice of life
Just like by doing exercise you can build your muscles; by repeated practice you can build your emotional "muscles" too....

• Few tips....
• Monitor yourself and stay controlled
• Keep yourself positive by repeatedly giving positive self affirmations. 
• Define and set healthy boundaries and defend it yourself for you.
• Choose and respond rationally by learning to pause and think.
• Learn from your mistakes ( from other's experience also)
• Humility is a good quality when it comes to emotional maturity.
• Sometimes you will have to grow out of your friendships also, especially when it is holding you back. Make right decisions and smart choices.

Remember awareness .

May 3 - Tip NO : 62

• Emotional overload & Highly Sensitive People - 3
• Emotional overload is a state of being taken over by intense emotion that is difficult to manage. It can often affect a person's ability to think rationally and act normally.
• Being around too many people in noisy environments make them feel over stimulated. Certain behaviours of other people will confuse them. Their mind will obsessively spin around with anxious thoughts, and that finally will ruin their day. It spoils them only.
• All Highly Sensitive people tend to be highly affected by the emotions of others. it's like they can simply "sense" emotion. Most of the time that may not be the reality. Many of them can walk into a room and immediately sense tension, joy, discomfort, sadness, etc. without any verbal communication. They can sense it coming and experience the feelings of the other person as well as their own, mostly in an exaggerated manner.
• These emotions do not stay separate from them. While most people can pick up on the emotions of others to some extent, for highly sensitive people, the experience is much more intense.
• As a result, they may find themselves feeling sad, irritable, or lethargic. When this starts, it's often due to one of two things: Either they are picking up on the emotion of the other person and making it their own, or they have already taken on this burden of emotion and their brain is telling them it's tired of carrying someone else's weight. Both are not good for them and their relationships.
• What is the way out for the sufferings of Highly Sensitive People ?
• Acknowledge your limits and focus on your strengths
• You should understand and accept the way you are wired neurologically to be at your best
• You should redirect your thoughts when they became obsessive and unhelpful
• Listen to your Intuition Instead of your Anxiety
• Change your self-perception. You need to see yourself differently. This will happen slowly, over time. Little by little, this subtle change in perception will help you, acknowledge the powerful and unique strengths of you, which will give you the confidence to show up as fully yourself, rather than, as the more socially acceptable version of you, you often tried to project to others.
• The more you began valuing yourself and listening to your inner voice, the more you will be able to understand the specific things you need to survive the "broadcast" of everyone else's emotions — without running away.
• Realize the Power of Priorities
  You should prioritize yourself and set boundaries for others and their emotions. Prioritizing self-care will help you overcome emotional exhaustion.
• You should learn ways to detox yourself after a peculiarly intense day. Exercise, human connection, and enjoyment are excellent ways.
• Simple inner practices like visualisation will help you "give back" any emotion that you had unconsciously absorbed from others. Ask yourself "Is this feeling mine or someone else's?" — and if it is not yours, imagine releasing it back to its owner. That will lighten up your feelings.

May 4 - Tip NO : 63

May 9 - Tip NO : 68

• UNIVERSAL LOVE

Unfortunately we use love in different contexts with quite different meanings. "I love chicken" does not mean that she/he is a bird lover.

There are many misconceptions about love and Universal Love.

• Some think love is universal if it embraces a large group—like all old people, all indians, all dogs, etc. But what about the rest of life? True love responds to all of life. So if you have decided to restrict your love to a particular category, that is not the real spirit of unconditional universal love.
• Some people think that universal love is social policy. But passionate humanity service doesn't always reflect in them. For example, imagine the head of a large save-the-old age project. She's dedicated to the old people, but when her lover walks into her office she ignores him. She finds the excuse that he is very close to her heart. A true universal lover wouldn't fail to love those close to her as well.
• Some think love is unconditional if it is impersonal (as in: "I love everyone, but no one in particular"). But is it possible to love everyone if you won't love anyone? No, it's just a concept— Real love sees, feels, and cares for the beloved.
• And that takes courage. It requires that we open our hearts, transcend our egos, trust, serve, be vulnerable. The preference for impersonal love comes from fear and resistance to deeper loving and giving, seeing and being seen. An unconditional lover would love each one with real feeling, care, and consideration.
• Love without personal passion and feeling is a bird with tied wings. Feeling strengthens love and makes it effective; universal love is no exception. Universal love is not mediocre or impersonal. All real love is passionate, invested, committed. Anyone who gives and lives real love is on fire with that love, and thoroughly implicated by it. real, intense, nurturing — by no means boring or unemotional. That's unconditional universal love.

Love is surrender without ego

If you can't love yourself you will not love anybody in the world

A world full of ideas is not same as the world full of love

10th May 2019 ( Tip NO : 69)                 

• Unconditional love

How to love unconditionally?

We may have various views on this topic accepting or rejecting the whole idea.

It's not forgiving everything because you love someone.
It is rather focusing on what keeps you together

Here is few tips on how to do it:

• Both deserve happiness
• One need not sacrifice her/ his happiness for the other to be in unconditional love
• Be together during hard times
• While you have to fight for overcoming obstacles believe that your love is worth fighting for
• Embrace every moment together
• Stay together for each other, both happy and hard times. There are ups and downs in love also
• Understand and accept each other
• Imperfections are common in every human. Don't give up
• Have mutual respect
• Relationship and love involves give and take. Respect privacy of each other

It's very tricky to be in a balanced state

11th May 2019 ( Tip NO : 70)

• Why does love fail and how to fix it?

Few reasons and tips.

Every relationship has its ups and downs. Making a relationship work isn’t as easy as it seems. It takes a lot of effort.

• Unwanted Ego
• You have to kill your Ego for the intimate relationships to work.
• Faithlessness
• Accept your partner for who they are and have faith in their love.
• Lack of confidence
• Being too needy for approval is another reason that drives people away. So be confident of who you are and that will reflect in the success of your relationship.
• Not knowing that your happiness depends on you first
• If you’re a self-reliant and a happy person, your partner will see you as a self-dependent person and not someone they have to take care of all the time
• Losing yourself along the way
• Remember that your partner love you for who you are and not who they want you to be. Adapt and adjust as required but keep your identity strong.
• Not taking initiatives
• Your partner shouldn’t always be the one who solves the issues. Take a step ahead and be the one who shows interest in the relationship.
• Communication gap
• Communication is the key to a happy relationship, no matter what the basis of the relationship is. Remember, no one can read the other person’s mind. So even if you are someone who is uncomfortable in talking about the feelings then write them down in a note and pass on. But always share.
• Jealousy
• Being possessive on some levels is acceptable because when you’re in love you expect that person to devote their time to you. But if your jealousy starts to take over your daily life with every conversation starting and ending on the same note then your relationship can be seen as dying a slow death. A healthy relationship is one where there is trust and comfort.
• Over Dependency
• It is a common belief that in relationships, your lives have to be inter-dependent. You end up being too clingy and depend on them. This is usually one of the biggest reasons to make someone want to get away for their ‘breathing space'.
• "I quit" type of personalities
• There are people who are ready to quit at the slightest problem they go through. ‘I quit’ or ‘let’s end this’ are usually the first words to come out of their mouth when they see a problem coming. But that’s not how relationships work; that’s how love fails. It requires a lot of patience and efforts to build a strong bond. And most relationships get strong only when the two of you tackle and get out of a problem together.
• "All about me" syndrome
• In a relationship, if either of you is the kind who only focuses on themselves then you should know that the relationship is gloomy right from the beginning,  and will die a fast death. Keeping love intact takes a lot of sharing which always involves more of giving than taking. If you start focusing only on yourself and your needs and neglect your partner then your relationship will never work.

• Pancha Bhoota Philosophy

As per Indian philosophy and ayurveda our body is made up of Panchabhoota or Pancha Maha-Bhoota, the five elements. They are water, earth, space, air and fire.

• Our fingers represent each element, especially it's relevant while performing mudra in yoga. Little finger represent water, ring finger earth, middle finger space, index finger air and thumb represent fire.
• The imbalances of these elements in our body results in diseases. Balancing that element will help to cure the problem.

Acharya says,
panchabhoota sareerasya panchabhoothaanichaushadham

Which means for body, which is made up of panchabhoota; medicine also is panchabhoota .

17th May 2019 ( Tip No: 76)

• Food
• In Pancha Bhootham fifth element is earth or prithvi / Bhoomi. Our food we eat represents earth element in the lives of men.
• Eating food in excess quantity or undereating, both are not good for our body. That's the rule followed by the nature.
• Eating the desired food in optimum quantity in controlled manner is important for the body to assimilate and utilise the other four elements in a proper way.

So the change in one element, either in less or excess quantity will lead to imbalances and disease.

• Most of the people are under the impression that by eating more food one can become very healthy. But it only will lead to some other disease. Excess food also will reduce our life span.

23rd May 2019 ( Tip No: 82)

• Foods that we eat

Eating the right kind of food is important in achieving a healthy balance in our body and mind.

In yogic literature, foods are classified in to sattvic (pure), Tamasic (Stale) and Rajasic (Stimulating). Foods that are beneficial to us are said to be Sattvic. These foods form an ideal diet, keeping the body nourished while being easy to digest. They create new energy, clarity and a clear, calm mind, enabling us to use all our mental, physical, and spiritual abilities. Sattvic foods include cereal, fresh fruit and vegetables, milk, butter, nuts, seeds, lentils, rice, grains and honey.

Impure foods that can upset our physical or emotional balance belongs to the other groups

Some Guidelines regarding foods

• Eat as many fresh fruits and vegetables as possible. Cooking vegetables destroys vitamins so we should try to eat some raw vegetables everyday.
• Whole grain products are a must. They contain much needed fiber that keeps our metabolism functioning at an optimal level.
• Hydration is key to a healthy body and mind, so drink water
• Strictly avoid processed foods
• Respect the food and ourself.

Practice "Mindful eating", not "stomach full eating".

24th May 2019 ( Tip No: 83)

• Mood and Food

The relationship between food and brain works in both directions.

• Our brain is always "on". It works hard 24/7, even while we sleep. It takes care of every function in our body. So brain requires constant supply of premium fuel. But that fuel comes from what we eat. So what we eat affects our brain function, our thoughts and ultimately our mood.
• Eating high quality, plant based foods (sattvic) that contain lots of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants nourishes the brain and protects it from oxidative stress.
• But if we ingest junk foods and refined or processed foods it badly affects the brain and other organ systems. 
• Modern Science too says that there are many consequences and correlations between what we eat and how we feel and how you ultimately behave.
• "A very large body of evidence now exists that suggests diet is as important to mental health as it is to physical health"

25th May 2019 ( Tip No: 84)

• How food we eat make us feel good

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter , which is a feel good hormone in our body. It regulate sleep, appetite,mood and inhibits pain. 95% of serotonin is produced not in the brain, but in our gastrointestinal tract !

• The functions of neurons producing this hormone is influenced by billions of"Good Bacteria" in the intestinal microbiome.
• So a clean diet is essential for the growth of these bacteria and normal functioning of our body. If we follow unhealthy food and food habits growth of good bacteria will be affected and will lead to the growth of bad bacteria and intestinal disbiosis.
• This will result in less production of serotonin, more inflammation, hampered digestion, altered intestinal wall permeability and absorption of toxins into the system.
• So if we can "go clean", following a plant based balanced diet, we will not believe how much better we can feel both physically and emotionally.

29th May 2019 ( Tip No: 88)

• Meditation (dhyana)
• Meditation is a part of the path towards enlightenment and self-realization. It's an ability to be present here and now, but fully engaged and aware.
• Meditation is an experience. It will be a difficult and foolish effort to explain any experience in words. Because every experience is unique for each person. 
• Nobody can teach anyone how to meditate. A good teacher can only guide. Just as in the case of sleep; you yourself should fall into meditation, rather than some one make you go into it. For reaching the state of such a deep "mindfulness", such that you feel a "mindlessness" (no mind is felt), you should go beyond the influence of sense organs. So advises like listening to music or instructions and reaching a state of meditation is totally misleading. For that one should prepare herself/himself by going through the purifying practices of ashtanga yoga .
• It is a skill that anybody can learn and master. It only takes consistent practice.And it's usually easier if you have a good teacher for proper guidance.

30th May 2019 ( Tip No: 89)

• Few facts about Meditation (dhyana)
• Spiritual Gurus and mental health experts have developed different methods to do meditation. 
• There are no "right way" to meditate. You have to find it with the help of an appropriate teacher. It is fine to try and combine different methods until a suitable method for you is established. 
• Examples of various methods are Rajayoga meditation, Transcendental meditation, Sri Aurobindo meditation, Mindfulness Meditation, Breath Awareness meditation, etc... 
• Meditation is not a result focused process, but it happens spontaneously, many of time, without your knowledge. It can work very quickly or it may take some time to reach there. 
• Meditating every day, same time, same place and in same posture can help you experience it faster and better. 
• Enjoying the moment without any judgement is the key to successful Meditation

31st May 2019 ( Tip No: 90)

• Samadhi - Yoga of wisdom - 1
• The great Saint Patanjali explains the state of quiet mind as samadhi. Here knowledge becomes wisdom. 
• Samadhi means "beyond the higher knowledge"
• It is wisdom, not intelligence, that helps us find meaning and peace in life. Yoga enlighten one with wisdom of oneself and the universe .
• The circle's center is just a point without any dimension but if the center does not exist the circle will also cease to exist. The circumference of the circle can be liked to activity or state of doing while center is the state of being. Yoga is the journey from the state of doing to the state of being. 
• Without this realization many human beings are actually just 'human doings'. 
• It's not the end... It's a new beginning.
