Maintain Your Balance
Guard Your Boundaries
We all have to set boundaries. Without them we allow others to take advantage. They may not mean to do so but non the less in order to obtain harmony, set boundaries, Your boundaries reflect what is or is not acceptable for you as an individual. They mark out the things that are important to you and how you expect to be treated by others.
Ask for Help
Life as you know can be crazy and hectic so when you need help, ask for it. Friends can be a great source. Meditation is a nice way to relax and get grounded or even a group that would suite your needs. There is no shame in asking for help. So if in need, ask!
Have Fun
Fun you say? Yes, fun. Although we are adults and have many responsibilities we all need time for fun. It doesn’t have to be expensive. A gathering to watch a movie, a few laughs with friends over some freshly made iced tea. Something that is NOT stressful. This also helps. Not everything has to cost money to have fun. Laughter is the best medicine.
Express Yourself
Expressing yourself clearly and honestly is the key to maintaining good relations with others. Be warm; be kind, honest and where necessary firmly maintain your boundaries.
Listen
Listen to your body, listen to your instincts, listen to others. By listening, we become aware and even if at times we don't agree with what we hear, we have an opportunity to prevent misunderstanding or problems before they become less manageable. By listening we have the possibility of learning so much! Listening is part of being Intuitive and we all have that within us.
Be Kind
Always be kind. Even if you have to enforce one of your boundaries do so kindly. Once you start operating from a loving place of the heart, this will occur naturally. It is not always easy to be kind because we are human. But the tongue indeed is mightier than the sword.
Show Your Appreciation
Share a smile or a laugh. When someone is kind to you, even let’s say letting you cut in front of them in traffic, show it. Appreciating things helps to keep you in a state of being thankful. Now a days I feel we have so much to be grateful for and often enough forget to notice.
Mental Health
Keep a check on your mental health. What stresses you will drive you physically. I can attest to this. Be kind and good to yourself. Keep a check list of what makes you feel good. As long as you are not hurting others, good emotional health consists of mental, physical and yes, spiritual too.
