  1. For me gratitude is everything. It has done wonders in my life. If you wakeup tomorrow morning when everyone might then it is enough to be grateful 🙏 happiness is the natural outcome of gratitude. If you continously keep cribbing then naturally you can't be happy.Yes sometimes life is not easy it is so cruel but then again there will be lots to be thankful to rather than the losses. As if you still exist with those cruel losses means you have more gains but you may be looking towards the losses only
  2. Music can have a profound effect on both the emotions and the body. Faster music can make you feel more alert and concentrate better. Upbeat music can make you feel more optimistic and positive about life. A slower tempo can quiet your mind and relax your muscles, making you feel soothed while releasing the stress of the day. Music is effective for relaxation and stress management. Research confirms these personal experiences with music. Current findings indicate that music around 60 beats per minute can cause the brain to synchronize with the beat causing alpha brainwaves (frequencies from 8 - 14 hertz or cycles per second). This alpha brainwave is what is present when we are relaxed and conscious. To induce sleep (a delta brainwave of 5 hertz), a person may need to devote at least 45 minutes, in a relaxed position, listening to calming music. https://youtu.be/xeHjonbT1UY
  3. Life is inevitable to be lonely and lonely. The real feelings of silicone dolls, the good figure and the impatient eyes can not only meet the needs of our body, but also fill our feelings of loneliness, especially when we are single and work for a day. When you get home, you will lie on the sofa and swipe your phone for a long time. People's heart will become more and more empty. Now there are many physical doll businesses on the market and their functions are all complete. They have body temperature, intelligent voice dialogue and chat. And other functions, and the current technology is completely based on the 1:1 production of real people, even the meridian bones are made very realistic, to be honest, the current dolls are not only for people to solve physical problems, but also for people’s psychology. Have a lot of company around This is my sex doll. Only she can accompany me when I am single
  4. Hey you all! On my journey in life, I always wonder why most people don't make a bigger effort on improving themselves. I am not gonna sit here on my high horse and think I always known how to.

Then you will find the enormous joy of doing the right thing for yourself. Managing your dreams and goals. So every day you get a little better. So why don't more people jump on this route? What do you all think? (i have my suspicions!)

  5. As a person that has battled depression for many years, along with anxiety and PTSD I believe that I may be able, finally,, to see all experiences, challenges, difficulties, obstacles and so forth as gifts. I regard myself has a person that walks a spiritual pathway. I also regard myself as a person that has experienced extremes, for example going from a British Army Marksman (I entered the Army straight from school) to a Reiki Practitioner and Spiritual Healer, and Medium, with 26 years in Spiritualism. So for me, I've experienced (as lots of us do, I'm not special) polarity/duality, exploring myself on many levels, physically (in the Army) mentally, through deep soul searching, emotionally and spiritually (in meditation, self reflection. Exploring the extremes of myself, really getting to know myself, at many different levels of being. As I look at life from a spiritual perspective, I do see this (difficult and challenging) life as a gift, an opportunity to come here to this world, enter into the density of the physical form, experience cold, heat, hunger, limitation, isolation, separation , deprivation, love, connection, interaction, joy, bliss and everything else beyond and in between. As I believe that the universe (multiverse) is divinely and intelligently orchestrated. I really do feel that this (and every) life , along with everything we experience within them, is a gift, a gift in the sense that it provides us with the opportunity to really get to know ourselves., each other and to be able to truly empathise with others, having suffered ourselves. We are the brave souls that took the opportunity to really have our metal tested, be forged in the fires down here on the earth, ultimately to return to our true home in the spirit realms, richer and finer through experience, knowing ourselves better than ever before. Life, and everything we experience in it, really is a precious gift! Many applied, but not all were accepted, to return to Earth and assist our earth be uplifted and freed from the clutches of those that would rather see us perish. We are the Light Warriors, here to assist in the ongoing Ascension process, and we will ultimately be triumphant. Life is a gift and one that, at soul level at least, we are very grateful for. Yin/Yang, dark/ light, positive/negative, polarity,/duality ~all necessary to generate movement, momentumand growth, all through experience. Our sensitivities and our self awareness is a gift also, for all the same reasons, as difficult as that may be at times.A great servant once said, and I agree entirely " The Meek shall inherit the earth" Our time is coming friends! Hang in there for just a little while longer, great changes are just around the corner I (very strongly) feel. Namaste.?? The image below is my design that I've drawn out after being inspired with it. I'll be giving it the Pyrography (wood burning treatment) soon ?
  6. Coronavirus travel restrictions, a planned trip cancelled, a recent hip replacement operation, turning 80 a week ago... Am I happy? NO. Am I content, perhaps. When I was young(er), I thought that getting old would take a lot longer. I can be content, yes. I had an adventuresome and full life in six countries on three continents. I have enjoyed academic and professional success. From where I am sitting now, I see a hibiscus bush blooming and a palm tree swaying in the breeze from the lake. Once in a while, a hummingbird zooms at the feeder to sip some energy for the night, and my cat lies on the couch beside me, with one paw over her eyes. So, why am I not happy, and just content? I guess the reason quite simple is that I am alone, that I have nobody with whom to share what I have. What is missing in my life is the companionship of another human being. I speak five languages, but I am not fluent in "Meow". (Sorry, cat). Perhaps, contentment is all I can expect at this point in my life.

  10. Yes I started living a simple or I would call it a Neutral life some 8 years ago. I started by first getting rid of my addictions. Being a geek that I am, I had this urge always to get the latest gadget out there. And I let go off this addiction in 2012. Now, if I buy a gadget it is more for utilitarian application then for peer pressure. The other addition that I had was eating and I simply could not resist what I LOVED. Be it creamy pastries or street food. I decided that I need to eat to live and not live to eat and certainly not waste food. I had long given up meat and fish and plants are also alive so I started eating on as much as I need to live and be healthy and never waste food. The third thing that I loved was fast cars and at one time I had 2 and if I had continued down this path would have had many more. But as I awakened and decided to follow a neutral life, Uber came along and many other share riding services so getting a car that will only add to the environmental mess was not something part of neutral lifestyle. I sold both my cars and started walking as much as I can and taking to public transportation for longer distances and if I need to go somewhere in a huff hike on a bike. The final thing that made my life simpler was stop thinking just about myself and think about the rest of the people around me. Do I need to have all these things when others are barely able to survive. My soul which had already woke up and buzzing me all day with directions on a neutral lifestyle made sure I gave more to others then take from them. That made my life so much simpler. No expectations. No attachments. Not so many desires. Yes some do remain such as using the computer, using a cellphone and my love for travel. But living a simple neutral life does not mean giving away everything. It is about living with loving your own self and others including nature and all that is part of it.
  11. It's an interesting topic, thanks for the thought-provoking questions and sharing! To me, happiness is finding meaning in life. The meaning of life may vary from person to person. For example, I personally find passion in building great things (my latest project was a Hong Kong-based online bookstore called NoteSity). It gives me a sense of achievement and accomplishment. Others find may find meaning in volunteering, teaching, helping others, so on and so forth. The path to happiness may not be It may not be easy, but I hope everyone will eventually find meaning in their life and be happy!:)
  12. Hi everyone! For the past several months I have been going through a personal life crisis, call it midlife crisis or existential crisis, either way it has triggered me to begin self healing and undergo a spiritual journey. I have done lots of reading, watching videos from known experts, meditation, research, etc. I'm still trying to learn how to communicate with my spirit guides. This spiritual journey has fallen into place in such a manner that it feels like placing the last piece of the puzzle in...all things in my life, including things that have happened for many years which are positive and negative, are all pointing to this moment in time and this specific journey. I would love to connect with anyone who is also undergoing this journey or who have experienced spiritual awakening, can communicate with their spirit guides, have mastered meditation, etc. 💗
  13. Over the last week, I've been introduced to some extraordinary tools that have been absolutely vital in my own personal pursuit and I'd like to share these tools with you. What does happiness truly look like? For myself, I am happy in improving my life at the moment. That has been my main focus right now. I'm still struggling to define what sorts of actions make me happy, but for now, diving into my psychology and doing the things necessary to improve myself, brings me happiness. For example, I'm just now getting into a program that is going ot help me pay back my college loans that are currently in default. The whole program will take 9 months to get me out of default status and a further 2 years to eliminate my owed debt entirely. I often find myself being impatient with this, however. 9 months is a long time and I really want to get back into school, I'm looking to take up welding as a profession. Enter the first tool I've recently learned Patience. A lot of the things that bother me are not in my control at this moment and that's ok. The general idea is to try to moderate your emotional investment. The hardest part of every journey is the very beginning and often times we tend to quit just before hitting the knee of the growth curve. This is because we emotionally exhaust ourselves and by the time we are just a few days, a few weeks maybe, away from that knee of the curve, that we just simply are drained completely and just quit. But had we taken the time to apply the principles of patience, the return would vastly outweigh the initial investment. So if you are struggling with this area like I do. Try asking yourself these 3 questions, apply them to your own specific circumstances. 1. What does a lazy approach look like in this endeavor? Could be school, a relationship, work, self actualization, maybe you're depressed and anxious and you're just wanting those results. So ask yourself, what a lazy approach would look like. To be lazy would be to do nothing, right? You're not putting in the effort, you're not doing the work etc. 2. What does an impatient approach look like in this endeavor? We all get impatient. It's only natural. We want results and we want them now. But that is a double edged sword. You can end up causing more harm than good. Maybe you're trying to take on ALL the tasks, maybe you're trying to cramp ALL the information, trying to do ALL the work. But you have to allow yourself to moderate how you invest your energy. Take the time to do each step, apply each step, learn each step etc. 80-90% of the emotional labor of any endeavor is going to be in those beginning phases and you're not going to see much growth. You'll see tiny bits of growth here and there. You gotta learn to appreciate those tiny growths and stop looking at the end result as an ends to a means. 3. What does a wise approach look like in this endeavor? So exactly what does this mean? How do we know what a wise approach is? It's actually pretty simple. A wise approach is giving yourself the time to grow, even when the growth doesn't seem to actually be there. Find it, appreciate it, enjoy it. Are you working towards that great relationship that's going to last the rest of your life? Are you writing a book that could change humanity? Are you starting your own business? Are you doing personal development? Any of these things and more are going to take time. It's going to take consistent effort on your part and your job is to try to make the best of the hardest parts of that journey. Ask yourself a few follow up questions. 1. Would this endeavor be worth it, if it took 4x as long as you initially planned? 2. Would this endeavor be worth it, if it took 100 to 1000 times the emotional investment as you planned? If you're working on something like meditation, mastering your emotions, chasing that wonderful relationship, starting your own business, writing a book etc. The answer to both of these questions should be yes. It is absolutely worth the investment because when it comes time to reap the rewards, it's going to be far surpassing anything you had conceived. If the answer is no, perhaps you're either not invested and maybe that project isn't for you, or perhaps it could be your own neurotic mindset, getting in your way. You have to be the judge on that. Moving forward there are 5 simple things that you need to stop allowing to influence your happiness. Just bear in mind, this works hand in hand with the previous tool. Results aren't going to be immediate and that's ok. 1. Your past We all have a past and it can sometimes be pretty murky at best. This includes things others have done to hurt you, things you've done to hurt others, things you've done to hurt yourself, bad choices and mistakes, all the things that made you who you are. You are not those things, you are you. So stop labeling yourself with the ghosts of the past. 2. Your relationships This could be friendships, relationships, family etc. This doesn't mean that any of these things were bad or are bad. Maybe you've had wonderful relations with pretty much everyone you know. It's still equally important to not base your happiness around those relationships. Relying on others to provide our happiness for us is a very clingy and neurotic way of living and chances are, it will ruin that relationship. 3. Your own limited beliefs Have you ever criticized yourself? Said "there's no way I can do that"? Having realistic expectations of what you expect from life is good, but when you begin to say you cannot because of past experience or because of some arbitrary limitation you put on yourself, it becomes an issue. Say for example, you're an introvert that wants to make friends. A stereotypical label that you might put on yourself is that it's not in your nature to make friends or that you can't have friends because of that introverted nature. Let go of that. Maybe you think you won't get that job because you view yourself as a failure. Maybe you feel like you won't get that job because you're not good enough. Maybe you feel like your business won't succeed because you're not a good leader. Whatever it is that you put on yourself. Maybe you think you can't succeed because of your physical appearance or your gender or your skin color. All of these are self defining labels that cause so much detriment in our lives. 4. Other people's opinions of you Just as equally as the way we label ourselves, if we allow others to tell us who we are or what we can be, it is that same detrimental outcome as if we had labeled ourselves, because we are in a sense. We accept the labels that other people put on us. The goal is to stop doing that. Even when they do so with good intentions. 5. Money We all know that money makes the world go round. But the illusive chase of just money is a cold and primal way of living often leaving a person to appear as cold and heartless. I'm not saying to just go and quit your job or that money is evil. What I'm saying is that money shouldn't be the ONLY motivator in your life. It's reasonable to want to be capable of sustaining yourself, a family, having the possessions you want and all that. Just don't be so focused on it that you lose sight of everything else. It's the easiest, fastest track to a toxic life. So that's it! Now the only objective left is to find what actually makes you happy. Go out and try new things, pick up a new hobby, give it 4 weeks. Be patient and approach it as though you want to enjoy it, because that is the purpose of this whole endeavor after all. Not everything is going to strike your fancy and that's ok, at least you tried and now you know.

  16. Hi Desarea, No wonder we all face ups and downs in life and its difficult to forget whom we love. However, in order to be happy again, we must try to atleast focus on the present. Deep breathing with eyes closed and love meditation helps in recovering. I recommend you try these and share the results.

  19. It's great reading these and seeing what other people do. I actually just woke up to anxiety for no reason. Usually it has an obvious reason. The odd thing about it is that any little thing can trigger it so I had to deal with this a lot, and with Covid it went nuts. But I havent used any benzos in a long time using the following techniques. For me I use Focusing on the senses, which is basically a mindfulness meditation I try to find what thought or feeling is causing the issue and nullify it. There usually is something in the back of your mind. The subconscious can be your worst enemy or your best friend. I get mad. Your body is triggering a fight or flight, stop the flight- start the fight. Get mad at your anxiety, tell it to fuck off. Think of it like a storm that will pass. It usually does within 30 min, 60 min for the bad ones. Improve your life. Work towards a goal you care about and get out of bad situations. Environment and situation are much larger factors thsn I realized. I just finished a big project and I feel like I accomplished something I care about so my anxiety has been better lately, I think that's a huge reason why. Do things for others. It makes you feel good about yourself and stop bad feelings like you deserve this. You don't deserve it, nobody does. Do things for you. I work 7 days a week and noticed I started to get worse as time went. I stopped doing anything fun for myself and just worked all the time. Cortisol is bad for you and you need to play to keep cortisol away. Believe. Knowing that you can stop it is a huge part of the puzzle and can help you get off of medication. Your mind works just as good without the side effects. I watch anxiety meme, funny animal videos, Staying away from social media. buy 1 lottery ticket... I got a lot of these, I've struggled with it pretty bad for years and finally starting to see some relief. Now, I can stop a panic attack with my mind in 5 min sometimes and they happen less frequently. You get better at it overtime.
  20. You should live your life with dignity and definitely leave such man who js cheating on you. We only get one life and you should not continue to compromise.
  21. I'm proud of you too my friend, keep shining your happy light no matter how dark it gets out there, It can get discouraging, never loose faith, and keep shining your light bright for all to see. you see, us humans have a negativity bias, its hardwired from our ancestors, where they relied on that fight or flight response for survival, most of us are hardwired to notice the negative and then it sticks to us, and we bitch about it, giving it more of our attention and energy, the more people complain about something the more energy attracts their complaints to them, giving them more to complain about, vicious cycle really. WE can reverse this with gratitude, noticing and savoring all the good you see and feel in life, creating positive neural pathways, or "Happy Habits" Luvzzz Darja D*star
  22. I'm friendly to strangers, but I don't fake happiness. Yes, life, the world and people can be beautiful and nice, but also really terrible, cruel, unfair and bad. Some people just don't care, but I do and that's hard and heavy. If I would stop being empathic, ignore all the terrible things and smile all day long, that would probably make me a psychopath.
  23. Hi first of all pls relax your mind and calm down a bit. There is nothing in this world which can't be sorted out. Two rival nations can sit across the table and come to a mutual conclusion. So I am assuming there is something in the back of your mind which is bothering you. So you have ideally two choices: 1.) Can this thing be sorted? If yes go for it, give your best shot to turn around the tables and pull the result in your favor. 2.) If nothing can't be done then what is the point of being cry baby living in chaos. Better you move on and live your life. Sucidal thoughts are worst. You are young and have possess all the power to get anything. Be brave and be giving to enjoy the life.
  24. I’ve had 3 dogs and 1 cat in my life time. I miss having a little cuddle buddy to come home to. Im actually in search of a new puppy to adopt. I’ve even visited a few shelters recently in hopes to find my new love buddy.. can’t stop watching these cute videos..
