Ways to stay creative

Discover and learn one new attribute of life everyday Carry a notebook everywhere. You never know when a thought might strike you. Keep a journal on your bedside table. Sometimes even a dream can trigger off new ideas. Be gadget free for a day. No mobiles, no I pads, no X – Box. Read instead. Be one with nature, preferably early morning. Take a break once in a while. Visit a new place .Soak it in. Learn something new . Listen to new music. Be open to others. Listen. Surround yourself with positive people. Don't give up. Keep trying to reach your goals. Stop trying to be someone else's idea of being perfect. Be yourself. Be original. Think uncluttered. Clean your workspace. Have fun. Chill. Put yourself in someone else’s shoes for one day. Observe. Learn .

Have you ever lost something that was more precious to you than your own life ? Someone special  who was meant to be yours forever but now isn't ?  Have you lost someone you loved unconditionally and then realized over time  that the love reciprocated was only conditional . Believe me ,it hurts . Hurts like hell . So , what does one do in a situation like this ? You're hurt and you are expected to smile as if nothing ever happened . We don't grieve over a love lost in this lifetime. Not the norm . Not the done thing .Why do we only grieve when somebody dies and is put to rest physically ?

First, try living on less money. Do keep some  money to keep the footmill turning. All your have to be paid bills for example . Make a third of your income to be spent on work-related activities like eating fast

Matters of the heart

Human nature is such that it can either catapult you to ecstasy or throw you down with a thud ! The thud hurts and we wonder if we can walk again . Yes you can . Just believe in yourself and you will .                                                                                         We often confuse what we are feeling with who we really are.  We begin to build this persona that we are not good enough, and because we feel bad then we think we are bad.  We hold onto a false identity because it sits so deep within us that we begin to think and see it as our truth.  If we keep our mind and heart disconnected we end up becoming dysfunctional, inattentive, distracted, and remote.  This causes harm to us and our relationships.   We create situations to protect ourselves from pain and hurt but these can disconnect us from our true feelings  When we  let down our guard and inhibitions with others - we let more of life in and let more of life out.   This can be healed through sha
