Simple ways to PEACE AND HAPPINESS

Let me share what I have read from a book that helps me to understand life and to stop worrying and start living. I am skipping some parts and trying to go through the interesting parts =) I am sharing the latest and will share more, so keep coming!

1. Let’s fill our minds with thoughts of peace, courage, health, and hope, for “our life is what our thoughts make it.”

2. Let’s never try to get even with our enemies, because if we do we will hurt ourselves far more than we hurt them. “Let’s never waste a minute thinking about people we don’t like.”

3. Instead of worrying about ingratitude, let’s expect it. Let’s remember that the only way to find happiness is not to expect gratitude- but to give for the joy of giving.

4. Count your blessings-not your troubles!

5. Let’s not imitate others. Let’s find ourselves and be ourselves, for “envy is ignorance” and imitation is suicide.”

6. When fate hands a lemon, let’s try to make a lemonade.

7. Let’s forget our own unhappiness – by trying to create a little happiness for others. “When you are good to others, you are best to yourself.”

How to keep from Worrying about Insomnia

The recent death of my father, lead me to sleeping problem or insomnia. This dilemma has been my worry for a longer time now, I haven’t totally recovered yet. My friend lends me this book that discusses and giving some tips and advices on major problems that worrying almost all people and I have read so far rules on How to keep from Worrying about insomnia, let me share what I have read:

1. Are you the type who toss and roll on bed? Trying all the best to get a sleep? I am that kind. If we can’t sleep, the best thing to do instead of rolling, tossing on bed is to Get up and start doing other things such as Reading until we do feel sleepy.

2. No one was ever killed by lack of sleep, the thing is if we keep on thinking about insomnia that would lead as to other illness. So stop worrying because it could lead to more damage than sleeplessness.

3. Pray – the best medicine. According to what I have read - Prayer is regarded as the most adequate and normal of all the pacifiers of the mind and calmer of the nerves.

4. Relax - at home or even at work places. Start to Learn to Relax.

5. Exercise. One of the best cures for insomnia is making you physically busy, this is by gardening, swimming or simply by just plain physically exhausting work.

Do you worry when you can’t sleep well? Yes! Because I do…so let us start following the rules above and get a very goodnight sleep.
