For example, in Hypsoconsciousness by John Baines, a book of consciousness-developing exercises,repparttar author describes a consciousness building exercise whererepparttar 129506 individual moves very slowly and carefully, in a relaxed manner, mentally concentrating onrepparttar 129507 movement. Any physical movement (such as writing or walking) works and is performed at an exaggeratingly slow pace for five to ten minutes, and sometimes more. After practicing this exercise, you should feel an increase in vitality, presence, and greater mental clarity. Try this exercise when you feel fatigued, and see how it makes you feel.

Take life as a Challenge

When life is taken as a healthy challenge, difficulties seem more like an engaging game; it becomes more intense, joyful, and real. To spend most of our lifetime fearfully avoiding problems ultimately doesn’t work, because fear contaminates our every act, and inrepparttar 129508 end, we have to deal with even more problems. Things take a different color when we accept difficulties as normal, patiently work through them, and don’t assign so much negative emotional weight to them. This takes development ofrepparttar 129509 will.

Try this suggestion: Set one small goal for yourself this week. For example, if you hate washing dishes, set yourselfrepparttar 129510 challenge of washingrepparttar 129511 dishes with a light, cheery attitude forrepparttar 129512 entire week. If you tend to be shy around people, go to a party withrepparttar 129513 specific aim of chatting comfortably with a few strangers. Whether you succeed or not, if you takerepparttar 129514 right attitude with this exercise, you will see yourself and your possibilities differently. Remember to take small steps - makingrepparttar 129515 challenge too difficult or too easy defeatsrepparttar 129516 purpose.

I cannot tell you how many people I have met who have become helpless victims of their environments. Why? They either became too afraid of opening themselves up or they simply allowed their unresolved issues to consume them, keeping it all bottled up inside. The problem of dealing with their problematic situation became too much for them and through their own choice, they were destined to live a joyless life. The sad reality is that if these tormented folk could have confronted their problems much earlier they would have seenrepparttar 129506 situation for what it ‘was’, rather than what they ‘thought’ it was. Please don’t let your daily environment consume all hope of a happy and prosperous future. Take control today of your emotions by tackling them head on inrepparttar 129507 pages of you DIARY OF EMOTIONS.
