WHAT TO DO ON CHRISTMAS DAY!

The traditional way of celebrating Christmas is by spending the day with your family, opening gifts and watching those all-time-favorite movies with your loved ones. you can totally sign up to that but here are some new interesting activities you can do throughout the day: 

• If the weather is fine, go for a pleasant walk in the countryside. While everyone else is busy stuffing their faces to excess, enjoy the peace and tranquility at your disposal.
• Admire the beauty of nature. Or, if you're a keen driver, take full advantage of the empty roads, and burn some rubber.
• You can call up your friend and talk to them. Bring up the best memories you have with each-other and be grateful for the beautiful relationship that has been given to you. 
• You can go to a hospital and be kind. You could even bring some small gifts to the hospitalized patients, just so they can feel the warmth and the beauty of this wonderful holiday. 
• You could always spend some time volunteering at your local soup kitchen. That is a place that is always in need of help so it's one of the best ways to make this day productive. 
• Drink hot chocolate! Chocolate will never let you down during all the winter days, especially during this one. Probably that's because you can find it everywhere, almost in every store, making it very reachable. 
• There's also the option of the great outdoors, ice skating if it's cold enough, sledding if you're having a white Christmas, or maybe even hiking. 
• You can throw a Christmas party at your own house, where you can invite all your relatives for dinner. You  might enjoy playing and singing together Christmas songs while opening the gifts that you brought for each-other. 
• You might also like to attend Christmas mass or prayer service at a local church. They usually organize very beautiful ceremonies/rituals. 

Hope you have a very beautiful Christmas day and I wish with all my heart Merry Christmas everybody, may you enjoy every moment of this amazing day :) 

HOW TO UNLOCK YOUR TRUE POTENTIAL

Be clear on what you want! - Imagine that you've been born with the ability to achieve any goal you could ever set for yourself. If you possessed this, what is the main thing that you’d want right now, without even thinking about it? Do you have an answer? If you actually do, then devote yourself entirely to that, take baby steps towards it, make small progress day by day and you will soon find the thing you wanted the most in your bare hands!

Change! – You are not in a good mood right now. You’re seeking happiness but you’re not doing such a good job on finding it. Well, you should change! What do I mean by change? Change your behavior, since your ‘I’m so unhappy’ attitude didn't do any good, change your way of talking to others, you may even change your look if it is possible for you to do so. What it is required is a whole new you, a ‘you’, whose outside world is in the same frequency as its inner world.

Sacrifice! - What is the price you are willing to pay to achieve the goals that are most important to you? What would you give to have the thing you want the most? Give that an answer and you’ll realize how important is for you to achieve it and how much you've wanted it this entire time but did nothing about it. This directs us to the next step:

Borders! - Give yourself the permission to resonate on the highest level of ‘you’ and free the mind from all its borders in order to benefit from what is to come to the fullest capacity. Those borders are the ones keeping your potential on lock down! You do not have any borders! Nobody does! Anything that you want long enough and hard enough, you can ultimately achieve.

Do not get distracted! – Seriously, don’t! If you get distracted you will lose. That is because your energy will focus on something else. Focus, focus, focus! If you don’t do so, you will get lost on your thoughts, and so one thing will lead to another and soon you will realize that the inspiration you found to stay focused has been lost!

Negativity! - Of course the negative thought will set up a vigorous resistance at first, for it is a fight for life with it. For instance, if you are apt to hate people, you can best overcome the negative thought by cultivating Love in its place. Think Love, and act it out, as often as possible. Cultivate thoughts of kindness, and act as kindly as you can to everyone with whom you come in contact.

You should realize that you have potential! You actually do, but you are afraid to release it. You have the entire energy required to achieve things because you’re bigger than the Universe with its stars! God bless J

HOW TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF POSITIVELY #2

What do you consider positive?

Allow only that which is good into your life. No one can depress you, no one can make you anxious, no one can hurt your feelings, no one can make you anything other than what you allow inside. Walk with strength knowing you are the perfect creator of your own divine life. Life is truly beautiful, allow the beauty of life shine in all corners of the world you are creating for self.

Love, of course! 

Life is about love. Being that fear is poison, love is the antidote for life is all about love. Not the erotic or romantic love that movies and songs focus upon, but unconditional love. Love is what enables people to perform miracles. Your greatest responsibility to yourself is to invest the whatever time is required to become absolutely clear about exactly what it is you want, and how you can best achieve it.

Let go of fault

First, fault is found with this thing, then with that, and finally with everything. The person becomes a chronic "nagger" – a burden to friends and relatives, and a thing to be avoided by outsiders. Fault brings a lot of similar emotions with  itself, it’s like a seed that keeps growing and growing, until it reaches a level that you can’t control anymore. What’s the way to get rid of it? Simply do not plant it in your mind!

Happiness as the only goal

An important observation from Aristotle was his conclusion that the ultimate purpose of all human action is the achievement of happiness. Whatever you do, it is aimed at increasing your happiness in some way. You may or may not be successful in achieving happiness, but your happiness is always your ultimate aim!

TIPS ON HOW TO PREPARE FOR CHRISTMAS

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! I hope this tips can help you create that Christmas spirit we've been waiting all year to feel.  Switch on the festive lightning! Let’s start: 

1) Add color! – Shades of red, yellow, light shades of brown and even some deep green can be composed to decorate your furniture or whatever you want to decorate with tablecloths or other Christmas decorations. Using these colors gives a very cozy feeling to your living space. In addition, guests can experience the true warmth of your hospitality when they arrive at your house.

2) Light candles! – You can place some candles around your living environment, f.e. on your dining table, above your fireplace, or even in a place where you spend a lot of time when you’re home. Candles are a magical way to get into the Christmas spirit, but make sure you extinguish all candles before you go to bed! You can use aromatic candles too. In this way, not only you see their light and feel their warmth but also smell their senses.

3) Decorate your kitchen – The kitchen is the heart of the home and never is that more true than when Christmas comes around. Your kitchen is the focal point of the house, and it will especially be if you’re having friends over. Whether its turkey, goose or beef, Christmas dinner is the highlight of any festive celebration and ensuring your kitchen is up to the job can save you time, energy, money and stress.

4) Christmas corner – Create a corner in your office or in a place you spend a lot of time working, which can represent the entire Christmas spirit! You can put a small Christmas tree there, some fake present boxes wrapped with decorated paper, or even some small festive lights. 

5) Christmas entertainment – Songs and movies! Everything should be about Christmas! You can rent some Christmas time movies and watch them with your family or you can find a full list of Christmas songs to play now and then.

6) Gifts! - Buy gifts you love in bulk and give them to as many people on your list as possible. Gift cards are your best bet.

7) Don’t forget the next holiday! – The New Year’s Day! We want 2013 to find us prepared for it! When each major holiday ends, prepare yourself for the next holiday. These two holidays are connected to each-other so basically you can use every decoration you put for Christmas also for the New Year’s Day. Buy some fireworks, so you can light them up when the countdown hits 0 to celebrate the new year. I’d recommend those small ones you can keep in your hand while they produce sparkles :)
