Tips on How to Enjoy “Being”:

(these are advices I give myself whenever I forget to just enjoy my here and now. I hope these will help you too)

Be always in the present. Wherever you are and whatever circumstance you are in, enjoy it, savor it…cherish it.

Count your blessings. While it is okay to dream or want something in life, it is never healthy to obsess too much for things you know you can’t have at the moment.

Be grateful for your NOW. Remember two things: (1) Each moment passes by quickly–it may be over before your know it and (2) your next moment may not be as great or as happy, so live each moment as if it’s the best moment of your life.

Keep in mind that challenges are a part of life and that it is meant to teach a lesson. Embrace it the way you cherish your joys in life and always find the lesson each challenge conveys.

Never take shortcuts. An unhappy moment is part of life and the only way to live fully is to manage feelings such as fear, grief, frustration, disappointments, etc. Give yourself time to heal. Cry and wallow if you must, but don’t be a slave to your unhappiness. Being able to rise up and learn from an unhappy moment is a sign of growth (take note: there must be LEARNING as without it, growth will be futile).

I’ve shared this before and I will share it once again.

“My concept of ‘Being’ means embracing whatever life brings you…it may be joy, sorrow, pain, hardships—the key is to cherish it (even if its painful) and learn from it. We honor our joy, we might as well honor our pain too. Life is so much sweeter when you know you’re able to go thru happy or sad moments with no shortcuts.”

Here’s wishing everyone a happy week ahead!

Affirmation for the Week: The Universe Will Take Care of Me

5 July 2009 Ibyang Sanchez 2 Comments Category: Affirmations

No matter what happens,

the Universe will

take care of me.

This affirmation is about believing that the universe has a way of helping us. It is about putting faith in the universe/God that whatever happens, it has all been planned and there are answers already, given that we also do our part. Whatever challenges and/or concerns one is facing, he/she should be comforted by the thought that whatever he/she needs, it will be given in time.

This affirmation is very helpful during times of anxiety; when one is longing for someone to come along or wishing for something to happen or when one is lifting his/her worries to the universe/God/fates.

Child of the Universe (a poem by L.C. Brown)

The universe exploded,
A piece became the earth.
I rode in on a meteror,
Its crash was my birth.
Lava took me for a ride,
To cool in the sea.
I waited for millions of years,
For nature to use me.
I became a child of the universe,
With no place to go.
Then God gave life a meaning,
That’s how I got my soul.

Affirmation for the Week: Inner Peace

2 March 2009 Ibyang Sanchez 1 Comments Category: Affirmations, Deep Thoughts

My quiet mind

is the foundation

of my inner peace.

{photo source}

I’m a believer of inner peace and the journey to achieving it took a lot of life-changing discoveries for me. I like having a calm mind and a happy gentle disposition. I make sure that whatever I do, it is based on good values I uphold and sincere intentions.

From a forwarded email, let me share this with you:

Be on the lookout for symptoms of inner peace.

The hearts of a great many have already been exposed to inner peace and it is possible that people everywhere could come down with it in epidemic proportions. This could pose a serious threat to what has, up to now, been a fairly stable condition of conflict in the world.

Some signs and symptoms of inner peace:
* A tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than on fears based on past experiences.
* An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment.
* A loss of interest in judging other people.
* A loss of interest in judging self.
* A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others.
* A loss of interest in conflict.
* A loss of the ability to worry. (This is a very serious symptom.)
* Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation.
* Contented feelings of connectedness with others and nature.
* Frequent attacks of smiling.
* An increasing tendency to let things happen rather than make them happen.
* An increased susceptibility to the love extended by others as well as the uncontrollable urge to extend it.

WARNING: If you have some or all of the above symptoms, please be advised that your condition of inner peace may be so far advanced as to not be curable. If you are exposed to anyone exhibiting any of these symptoms, remain exposed only at your own risk.

Affirmation for the Week: Being Ready for Positive Things

19 February 2009 Ibyang Sanchez 5 Comments Category: Affirmations

I am ready for more

POSITIVE THINGS

in my life.

{Photo source}

People wish so hard for so many good things to happen to them but not all are ready to accept them. I believe that is one reason why it takes awhile for some good things to happen or fall into place. So if you’re wishing for something, let the universe know that you are ready. Let God know that with every good thing that will happen in your life, you are willing to accept it and be responsible for it.
