The importance of relaxation

No matter what it happening right now in your life, it is very important that you learn how to RELAX. Relaxation will help you EASE any situation and GOOD THINGS always happen when you are in a RELAXED STATE OF MIND. No matter HOW HIGH THE PRESSURE you feel, there is ALWAYS a way to break up with it, even if you are sitting at your desk at work, feeling overwhelmed by numerous tasks. If you are at home or in a place where you are free to come and go, I d advice you to HAVE A BREAK-RIGHT NOW: just by allowing yourself to have a break, you are LOWERING the pressure quite instantly. Notice all the tensions in your body...breathe in deeply, take all the tensions with you and LET THEM GO when you breathe out. Repeat this exercise until you feel DEEPLY RELAXED. Just acknowledging stress and tension zones can help you get rid of them. Ok. you might be sitting at work and the boss is expecting you to deliver all the work until 5 pm. You are feeling overwhelmed as the tasks are numerous and arduuous. Now just stop for one minute. Just enter into the breathing process: it is important that you empty your head now and just let a fresh breeze of air into your body...breathe in deeply, breathe out deeply...empty all forms of stress by concentrating on your breathing. Once you feel better, go back to your tasks...doesn t it feel MUCH BETTER? I bet you ll be working more EFFICIENTLY NOW! Each time, you are noticing tensions, start breathing...you will notice AN INSTANT RELIEF. At home I d advice you to do more relaxation exercises. When you come back from work, ALLOW YOURSELF at least 10 minutes where you can RELAX. There are different ways to relax. Meditation, hypnotherapy, visualization, positive thinking work, funny movies work well for me...you will find more relaxation tips in my self-help book, Unwrap Your Present.

Know yourself before you start helping others

"Nosce te ipsum", know yourself is one of the most important proverbs of Ancient times. In ancient Rome, people understood the burning necessity for someone to get a better self-knowledge. This precious advice was applied to doctors in particular. To cure others, you must be able to cure yourself at first. From a teacher s point of view, I d like to state that you will be unable to teach any subject if you don t master your subject AT FIRST. This implies that you become an avid student and first and then that you ll do some reflection about the best way to transmit your knowledge. As well as the blind man from Jesus parabole will not be able to guide another blind man, you must AWAKEN first before you will bring light into a community. In order to know yourself better, you must clearly be willing to wander through your mind and analyze yourself. Be conscious of your strengths, but also of your weaknesses. I d advice you to LIST them in two columns. Then, DECIDE to work on your strengths and improve your weaknesses. Another step is also to learn to love yourself. HIGHLIGHT your KNOW HOWs, your strengths and DEVELOP MORE CONFIDENCE. Master your emotions in a WAY THAT SERVES YOU. Use positive emotions for instance to create room for more joy with your entourage. Work on BEING CALM AND RELAXED. TALK LESS AND LISTEN MORE. Always put yourself into the skin of a learner of the school of life. Be humble: you can learn from anybody,even the simple minded and the tramp. Back in 1996, I was going through a very challenging situation. Sitting on a bank outside, I was feeling depressed. A young man, who happened to be homeless and a hard drugs user, addressed to me. He first introduced himself and then asked me: " You look depressed...why are you feeling bad today?" I replied: " because it is Summer time and I am unable to travel! He then disappeared for ten minutes. When he came back, he had a big smile on his face. He gave me a travel guide with the most beautiful destinations... He looked at me and told me: " You can now close your eyes and travel with your mind" Believe it or not, my bad mood disappeared instantly. I did this before I went to bed and felt ínstantly much better. Of course, it didn t solve my problem immediately, but it helped me cope with a difficult situation. Also know WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY and DO MORE OF IT: I know, for instance, that writing makes me truly happy. Being in Paris at a terrace, savoring an expresso also makes me feel incredibly good. Being with amazing friends and sharing thoughts raises my vibes too...it might be very different things for you, but be aware of them and make sure you are doing them even more! Once you will have understood your inside world better, you will be able to give some precious advices to other people. Explore yourself and let your light shine! Unwrap your present is a self-help book that will help you on your way. It is available at Amazon, Hayden Kian Publishing, Smaswords and Lulu. Com. Copyright© by Isabelle Esling

Kill fear and let calm set in

Did you notice that most of our negative habits are conditioned by FEAR? We all have, over the time, developed a type of habits, mostly through childhood conditioning, that don t serve us at all. A lot of them are due to deep rooted subconscious fears. Anger too, is a disguised form of discomfort due to fear. What is fear? Fear can be defined as FALSE EVIDENCE APPEARING REAL. Once that you start realizing that fear is an illusion, often created by your mind, through repetitive negative thoughts, you also realize that there are ways to overcome and even annihilate your fears. So how do I overcome fears, especially the deep-rooted ones, the ones that provoke self-sabotage, for instance? There are several methods that really work efficiently for me, so I would like to share them with all of you, in order to help you reach a better QUALITY OF LIFE, no matter your circumstances. The first step is paying attention to your internal tension and fear. By realizing that your problems are caused by fear and anxiousness, you will be able to ACT UPON them. Simply by making a FIRM DECISION to get rid of your fears, you are on the RIGHT PATH. The second step is to develop MORE CONFIDENCE. I d advice you to have a look at Paul Mc Kennas Instant Confidence book, in which the NLP expert reveals you some proven techniques that actually WORK. The third step is essential. You will kill fears by CALMING YOUR MIND and realizing there is nothing to fear about. Your world is actually SAFE. So how do you calm your mind? -By using breathing techniques, you will slow down your emotions and be more IN CONTROL of body and mind...five minutes of breathing in and out will help your mind and body to relax completely. -by listening to brainwaves and binaural beats in a relaxed state, you will improve calm and support your creative abilities - I started using hypnosis for mind reprogramming a year ago. Of course, I d strongly advice you to use mp3s or CDs made by professional hypnotherapists like Paul Mc Kenna or Kevin Laye. Hypnotherapy is very efficient because in a state of trance you are ALLOWING positive suggestions made to your subconscious mind. - meditation and visualization are also very efficient. I do use them as daily exercises. -chilling and having fun: watching a Laurel and Hardy movie, for instance, can help you relax better. -be conscious of your capabilities will help develop more confidence. The more confident you are, the less there is to fear. Now take a look inside: you are SAFE. Fear has no reason to remain in your life! Relax and let calm set it. As you start developing these techniques, you will create a more beautiful environment all around you. Go for it! More techniques are revealed in Unwrap Your Present. Copyright© by Isabelle Esling

Do not wish your days and months away, rather develop the will to be there here and now

Did it happen to you to be so much excited by a future event, that you wished to accelerate time and totally wished the remaining days away? It probably happened to you. It has happened to me and the final result was disappointment! While I do consider it to be highly positive for any of us to project ourselves in a happy expectation of the future, I also think that it can be quite dangerous when this future obliterates your present. No matter what is happening right now in your life, no matter if you like it or dislike it, it is ESSENTIAL for you TO BE HERE AND NOW. A few years ago, I remember myself being looking forward to a future move with such an intensity that I really wished myself away, a few months in advance. There was no place for the present any more and I was talking about this future so much that my entourage was even getting tired of it. In the end, when I reached the so much expected moment, things didn t turn out the way I expected them and I had to deal with loads of difficulties. But the three preceding months had vanished and i had no benefit of them at ALL. Looking back at the time I had invested in looking for my "better" future made me bitter for a while. Do you get my point? There is always a PERFECT TIMING in the Universe. You notice it when you grow plants in your garden or when you water them in your apartment. Wanting to accelerate things before time is like forcing the Universe for PREMATURE CREATION: it often leads to accidents and disappoitment. I know patience is a virtue we all need to let grow like a beautiful flower, so beautiful surprises will unfold on time. Be here-now. Be present. The present is really worth living, and even if there are details you dislike in the now, take time to FOCUS ON THE BRIGHT SIDE of your life. Enjoy each moment, for it is a precious gift. The more you will be focused on each single second, the faster time will fly. Time only seems long to the ones who are bored or who spend their whole time complaining. ALLOW your PRESENT TO BE GREAT AND YOUR FUTURE WILL EVEN BE GREATER! I gathered more tips in my self-help book, Unwrap Your Present. Like all of you, I am a learner. Life is my school. I got good and bad marks and I shared my experiences on the following blogs: Unwrap your Present Blogspot. Unwrap Your Present Webs. Check them out. Copyright© by Isabelle Esling
