HOW TO MAKE PEOPLE FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEMSELVES


It is very important for you to know that people will forget what you said, and people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel! Many of us have friends, or family members,  which might not be in a very good situation right now, or maybe in a bad mood, and we want to do something to help them but we don't know how. So here are some tips on how to make them feel good towards themselves, and of course  towards you, also. Lets start :) 

1) Continually ask them what do they really want - Let them talk about their interests! If they start talking about something that they are very interested or enjoy doing, don't interrupt them, listen to them with all your heart. Try and understand how they find beauty in doing those things, try to be as enthusiastic as they are! If they say something about a dream they always had and wanted to achieve, try to find some ideas that might help on that, or even talk about how amazing it is to have a goal in life and to devote your energy entirely to that. 

2) Have a heart talk - Ask them if they have something they need to talk about with you, a problem or something stressful that might be happening in their lives. Be there for them! Let them express their anger, or fear, or whatever they're feeling. Listen carefully and try to let them know that they can always count on you, share with your whatever they need to share and gain help from you whenever you can give it to them. Show them the beautiful things life offers to us, express your positiveness, let them know what they are missing! 

3) Find a way to help them - This is for sure a difficult task to fulfill, but it has amazing result if it's done properly. Connect with them, see what are they really missing, and devote yourself on helping them to get it. Gain their trust, so that they can let go of the stress they've been keeping inside all the time due to the fat that they feel alone in this situation. But be careful, do not make empty promises, because that can ruin you entire relationship with the person. 

4) Empower them by empowering yourself - You're helping someone you care about, so you need to be focused entirely on them. In this period of time, do not stress yourself with things that you can take care later in time. Also try and be positive about your friends situation, in other words, always think that you will succeed on helping them out.

7 Steps On How To Transform Yourself Positively


Make peace with your past! 
Our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become. If you did something in your past that you wish you hadn't done, start thinking of the reason why did it happen, what pushed you to that choice, what have you done since then to change it. Have you done enough? Can you now, find peace within yourself? Have you pushed yourself entirely to forgiveness? If no, then devote yourself completely to change that. 

Clean up your messes! 
Start realizing what have you done wrong. Take baby steps on the way to change them in positive things. Fill those empty spaces that torment you every now and then. Remember that nothing changes entirely in 5 minutes because the universe takes time. 

Be here now! 
Keep your feet on the ground and your thoughts at lofty heights! Always be in touch with what happens around you. That's the universe giving you signs on how well things will turn out for you! 

Stand up for what you believe!
What is that thing that you want to spend your life doing it? If you haven't found it yet then start exploring! Grab it, embrace the idea of how fun or inspiring it will be to do it! There will be many people who will try to put you down and kill your beliefs but you HAVE TO show them you're not a weak person, nor a looser, and that you will fight for your ideas until you make them happen! 

Feel the fear and do it anyway!
The fear will always be there. In fact, as high as your success is that's how high your fear will also be. But you have to do it anyway! You have to let it go! You have to fight for your beliefs! Don't let it define you because you've not come to this planet to have fear! You're here to be free and live you life to the fullest! 

Don't compare your life to others! 
Yes, the grass might be greener on the other side but remember that everyone is fighting a hard battle. You might think that you're the only one fighting but you're not. Everybody has their personal demons to face, their own struggles, so you don't know what they are dealing with. That's why you should never compare. 

Be grateful!
Give thanks! As many as possible! Aristotle once sad that we are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit! So start practicing gratitude now and then. Soon you'll be full of joy,inspiration and enthusiasm to continually find new things to do in life.

A short positive story...


    A 50-something year old white woman arrived at her seat on a crowded flight and immediately didn't want the seat. The seat was next to a black man. Disgusted, the woman immediately summoned the flight attendant and demanded a new seat. The woman said "I cannot sit here next to this black man." The fight attendant said "Let me see if I can find another seat." After checking, the flight attendant returned and stated "Ma'am, there are no more seats in economy, but I will check with the captain and see if there is something in first class." 
   About 10 minutes went by and the flight attendant returned and stated "The captain has confirmed that there are no more seats in economy, but there is one in first class. It is our company policy to never move a person from economy to first class, but being that it would be some sort of scandal to force a person to sit next to an UNPLEASANT person, the captain agreed to make the switch to first class." Before the woman could say anything, the attendant gestured to the black man and said, "Therefore sir, if you would so kindly retrieve your personal items, we would like to move you to the comfort of first class as the captain doesn't want you to sit next to an unpleasant person." Passengers in the seats nearby began to applause while some gave a standing ovation :)

5 Habits To Overcome Sadness


Count your blessings!
Start counting everything you think it’s something beautiful or positive for you that you actually have in your life. Be grateful for it! Gratitude is the most important feeling towards achieving a very positive state of mind and the beauty of it is that it gives you even more of those things you are grateful for. It multiplies! 

Focus on making the best of the present!
Live in the present moment! Transform every second of your life in a positive second. Wondering how to do that? It's very simple! Start doing the things YOU enjoy the most in your life and not the ones other people think are worth doing. Be yourself by exploring your interests and you will definitely find something worth living for! 

Pay yourself!
This is the most enjoyable one! Make time for your personal entertainment. Start considering yourself as a king/queen of your own universe where you can do whatever you want, at any time of the day! If you like movies for example like I do, go in the theaters or rent a movie and watch it in your house maybe with a bottle of Cola or a delicious pizza beside you :) Be aware of the things you like to do and go do them! Enjoy your life whenever you can! 

Change you inner critic in your inner coach!
Make sure you're friendly to yourself. People who do not appreciate themselves by thinking they're not good enough at something or that they suck at everything, are not the ones that succeed in life! On the other hand, those people who teach themselves how to embrace progress by staying positive at any time, can change their dark perspective into a brighter one! Then, success comes along :)

Fuel your mind with enthusiasm and passion!
Breathe passionately, eat passionately, talk passionately and that thing we call enthusiasm will become your best friend! If your doing something you don't like but you have to do it, start thinking of a different and positive way to do it. Therefore you can put into it all your amazing energy towards having good results.
