Strategies to improve your self control

2/06/2019


A disciplined lifestyle is necessary for achieving a successful life. For this, you need to have control in yourself by eliminating bad habits and adhere to good habits. So what is self-control? Self-control or self-mastery is your ability to control your emotions, feelings, and response. Though it looks very easy, it needs a lot of mental and physical discipline to improve your self-control.
Here are the seven  best tips to enhance your willpower and self-control:
  • Learn to manage your emotions with meditation
The mind is one of the most important factors that control your emotions. If you are facing a tensed situation, just close your eyes and take a few deep breaths, you will get instant relaxation. Meditation is one of the best cognitive self-control exercises that you need practice on an everyday basis. Meditation technique involves mantra meditation, deep breathing, and mindfulness.  A relaxed or calm mind will make you more equipped to control yourself. Those who practice meditation regularly have more skill to solve the problems and stay focused in their life.
  • Follow a healthy diet
Hunger makes your brain fatigued and does not function to its maximum that leads to poor concentration. When you are hungry, it is very difficult to focus on the works you are doing that makes you pessimistic in nature. You will eat or rather overeat when you feel hungry. This will likely to have a depleted sense of self-control in all areas of your life. Remember, your diet has a very important role in controlling your emotions and stress.  So to make yourself positive and active you need to follow a healthy diet. Studies have proved that the Sattvic Diet helps to improve your self-control. (Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sattvic_diet  )  Healthy eating will regulate the sodium and glucose content in your blood making you fit to work and improve your decision making power.
  • Exercise Regularly
Lack of self-control often contributes to problems like depression, weight gain, and money loss.  For ignoring distractions and resisting temptation, you need to possess a high level of self-control. Studies have shown that regular exercise will help to build self- control. For this you need not to do any heavy exercises, a brisk walk, a cardio exercise or moderately intense exercises will make you fit and fine. Exercises result in increasing the oxygen content in the blood that flows to the brain and will boost the ability to self-control.  Include exercise in your lifestyle even if you have a very busy schedule
  • Always have adequate sleep
Every day, we find numerous car accidents due to sleep deprivation. Sleep is one of the basic psychological necessities of a human being. Research studies have shown that sleep deprivation can affect the glucose levels in the brain causing depletion in self-control.  A good sleep of six to seven hours at night will help to restore the glucose levels in the brain. Those who have sufficient sleep have a lower strain and better self-control.
  • Enjoy yourself with nature
Believe in the healing power of Mother Nature. If you spend more time with nature, you will get more refreshed. If you learn to communicate with nature, you will become mentally stronger.  A stroll in the nearby park is the best time to retrospect your life that gives a clear perspective of your life. This will help to increase your self-control.
  • Forgive yourself
Mistakes and failures are part of every human being. Analyzing your mistake and worrying about it makes you depressed and achieve nothing. First, you need to acknowledge your mistake, make pace with it and move forward.  Forgiving yourself by avoiding negative thoughts is a difficult process and challenging too. It needs compassion, empathy and kindness to forgive you. But once you forgive yourself, you feel relieved and self-controlled.
  • Sacrifice for achievement
If you want a massive success in your life, you need to leap out comfort zone. A person’s success will be measured by the number of sacrifices he has done in his life. For instance, if you want to be a topper in an exam, you need to invest more time and energy for studies. This means you have to sacrifice your leisurely activities like watching movies, sops, playing etc. If you are unwilling to sacrifice, it will prevent you from great achievements and success.  Take a deliberate effort to sacrifice your negative thoughts and behaviour from your lifestyle. This will give you the ability to control your own self.

Tap the unlimited potential of the human mind

2/06/2019



The question, what is the real potential of a human being? It has a befitting answer – limitless.  Human beings are born with tremendous potential but without realizing it, most of us are prisoners of our own mind. Humans possess infinite potential and are capable of creating anything you want in your life. But the truth is that you are unwilling and making no attempt to tap the unlimited power that is within you.
Each one of you is gifted with unlimited power and immense creativity.  Humans are evolved into higher forms and endowed to accomplish great things in this world. The metaphysical school of thought states that the creation of human beings can be considered as the highest expression in this entire universe. The creative force behind the existences of human life manifests itself into multiple ways.
The hidden power of your mind is more amazing than Nature’s miracle and intellectual achievement of human beings. It is more powerful than you think. Still, why you are not able to achieve your big dreams? From the very age itself, the environment you live-in limit your mind power. As you grow older, your mind is clouded with invisible pessimistic thoughts that limit your mind power to perform itself. But, the positive aspect here is you can re-programme your mind with crystal clear thoughts and achieve what you want in your life.
You can find tens of thousands of instances around the world. For example, the seven wonders of the world. All are the marvellous creation of human beings. The prototype of all the marvellous creation is from a very single thought or a dream of a human mind. You need to believe in the magnificence of our own mind and cleanse internally to tap the incredible power that inhabits within.
To achieve your dream, you need to prepare your conscious, subconscious and super-conscious mind. With the help of your intelligence, you need to create the blueprint of your dream and infuse it to the subconscious mind. The intensity of your desire makes your subconscious mind to integrate and interconnect it with the other conscious levels of your mind. Always remember the mind will not fulfil illogical and impractical needs but will lead to a negative effect.
It is important to realize that the human mind and brain are two different things. The mind power is wholly a non-tangible facet that you are able to process with spirituality, whereas the brain is the physical tool that your mind effectively uses to process your thought and manifest it to its physical appearance. Empower your life with the limitless power of your mind. For abundance and happiness in your life, start practising to tame you hidden mind power.
