Heaven and peace are not separate from our lives here on Earth.

Now – in this present moment – Heavenly peace can be found.  Life can be pleasant if you make it so.

When it starts to feel heavy, don’t forget to come up for air — Breathe!

Align and find your center – try to be at peace with yourself and your surroundings, however hectic it all may seem.

There is nothing wrong with simply existing without your troubled thoughts and worries.

Being.. Being still — like a tree in the wind.

We eventually have to move – our society and way of life does not progress if we remain only in a vacuum.

Try to move through the moments thinking in a way that is pleasant, while also being aware of your surroundings -

You may find that these pleasant feelings often rub off on other beings.

Practice compassion, loving, peace and peacemaking; giving without expecting a return.

The universe will not resist you so much if you treat the space around you with care -

as you would hope to be treated by others.

There is no need for spending all of your time stressing over what could have been, what is or what could be -

or even what the purpose is of something that you cannot see, much less control.

Life may feel overwhelming at times, but you can overcome!

You are strong! Don’t you know who you are?

Don’t forget about young Peter and Wendy — your smile, your inner child, your happy thought.

You don’t have to be alone! Find your loved ones – your lost boys and girls and keep them close to you.

You can also meet new ones along this path, for many seek peace and happiness.

You may not always be in Never Land, but you certainly don’t have to grow up.

Think positive, never give up hope – even if it seems hopeless at times.

Tick tock – don’t be afraid of the clock, the wicked may be there and it may get dark, but don’t fret.

Captain Hook may have forgotten how to fly, but you haven’t!

Breathe! Don’t you know you have wings?

Time heals all – you can always find your light if you start to feel lost.

Now Fly!

You only have one life to live and you should be happy with the life your living.

Self help books are loaded with tips on how to have a positive attitude.  Self improvement classes abound, but still people are not getting the message and the stress of our lives becomes a burden.

If you are struggling to find inner peace you must ask yourself what is holding you back.  What are you being a slave to?  Are you a slave to regret?  Are you a slave to self doubt?  Are you a slave to money?  Are you a slave to being told you are not good enough?

These chains are the demons that keep us from finding inner peace and happiness.  People tend to dwell on the negative and do not celebrate the good in their life.  It is time to set yourself free. 

Start a gratitude journal.  Write down everything you are happy about.  Each day add to the journal.  The things you can celebrate might be the love you have for your family, the cat you adopted, the penny you found, or the compliment you got at work.  Dismiss the negative things from your mind or memory.  If you keep a diary rather than recording any bad events in your life, ignore them, maintain only the positive.  If you must write the negative things down to release them, do so but then destroy the paper on which they are written.

Learn to live with what you have not to dwell on wanting more.  While it is fine to want more, and to work towards getting more, you must love what you have now.  So many people were brought being told they could be this or that, and feel like failures at not even coming close to being the President.  We must not let these woes stifle our enjoyment of life.  We need to be happy for what we have, and who we are.

Put self doubt and negative thought aside.  Rid your life of toxic people, misery loves company, so when you find yourself around such people, leave them.  They only serve to stir up the demons of self doubt.

When we have found true joy in our lives, the secrets of the universe will fall into place and we can be happy.

On the other hand, there is always an unexpected problem causing more confusion to your already quite complicated life. However, this is only the bitter scenario of your life. The real problem begins when you feel your pain. Only your poor hearts knows how much it hurts.

Nobody else cares about the way you feel. Everyone around you increases your suffering. Everyone causes problems; everyone demands something from you.

How can you get rid of your depression and stop suffering?

I was in such situation when I was young. I made too many mistakes in my life and I didn’t want to live. However, I already was a young mother and I had the moral obligation to be strong.

Fortunately, I found salvation by learning how to translate the meaning of dreams according to Carl Jung’s method of dream interpretation. Jung helped me discover the wise unconscious mind, which possesses undoubtable wisdom.

Our ancestors were right for believing that our dreams contain important messages sent by God. The wise unconscious mind proves God’s existence and the existence of sanctity. This is a great relief for humanity.

However, we are very far from perfection. We are evil, selfish, cruel, and indifferent to human pain. We have inherited too much absurdity into the wild side of our conscience (anti-conscience) that remains in a primitive condition. This absurdity constantly invades the human field, controlling our mind and our behavior.

When the absurdity of the anti-conscience manages to invade the human side of our conscience, we lose our humanity. We become evil animals, instead of being sensible and sensitive human beings. This is why we are always depressed and angry.

If you want to be happy in life, you have to get rid of your absurd anti-conscience. Your depression will disappear forever because you’ll find peace.

You will always be happy with yourself and your actions. This is also very important for your mental stability and for your safety. You must always control your behavior and know what you are doing in life.

I simplified Carl Jung’s method of dream interpretation after continuing his research and discovering more. Now you directly understand everything, without having to compare previous dreams to new ones or wait for confirmations, like Jung used to do.

My dynamic method of instant dream translation helps you save time, and most importantly, it helps you immediately understand the unconscious messages. The precious messages you can understand work like psychotherapy.

Nobody will steal your peace of mind when you’ll pass through dream therapy and you’ll attain wisdom. The happiness you’ll feel for being wise will help you find happiness in all fields. You’ll also help everyone around you. This is not only a different scenario. This is the beginning of a new life.

Christina Sponias continued Carl Jung’s research into the human psyche, discovering the cure for all mental illnesses, and simplifying the scientific method of dream interpretation that teaches you how to accurately translate the meaning of your dreams, so that you can find health, wisdom and happiness.

Unfortunately if you’re one who does this, I have no quick cure for this but I can promise you that if you apply the knowledge I am about to share with you, then you WILL live a happier and emotionally healthier life. =)

First off keep in mind these three facts:

1. You are you and others are others. Not everyone will think, feel and act the same way you do.


2. You CANNOT expect some people to understand your perspective. There will be times where they will simply be too stubborn to even care.


3. There is no point in stressing over things you can not control. Sometimes all you can do is practice patience and let the wheel come around.

Alright! Let’s move on. 
I’m sure many of you readers have heard the phrase “STAY POSITIVE.” This is one way of learning how to do so. And all you need to do, is be aware, and control your mind. This is the way I see it; You control your thoughts -> You control your emotions -> You control your actions -> You control the situation.

CONTROLLING YOUR THOUGHTS
Sounds easier said than done, but don’t think about it too hard. You just need to be aware of what you’re thinking and learn to detach yourself from the negative thoughts by thinking nothing of them and emphasize on the positive ones.
There’s an old phrase I use a lot and it goes “What we think, we become.” There’s many other versions but that’s the shortest and most direct and it’s true. If you think more about negative things, more negative things will happen. Ponder on that for a while until you fully understand the concept. There are small drills one can do but just learn to catch yourself when you’re thinking about certain things. Over time you will learn to let negative thoughts pass easier and not cause such stress or worry and the positive ones will be easier to elaborate on. 


CONTROLLING YOUR EMOTIONS
This is the ONE I think everyone usually struggles with, because most don’t understand what causes them to feel the emotions that they do. And it really is all in the mind. (Hence “Controlling Your Thoughts” being the first step.)
Once you learn to control your thoughts, the types of thoughts you allow your mind to become attached will be the source of the emotions that you feel. So if you’re thinking more about the happier and positive thoughts, chances are you will feel more positive more often. Believe me, this is a good feeling. NO ONE enjoys being unhappy or upset, disappointed, etc.


CONTROLLING YOUR ACTIONS
This is the easiest part once you have the first two steps down. Think about this. Who controls your body? Who moves your hand, foot, leg, arm, head? Who thinks the things you do? Who controls you? (Do not get smart and change the simple WHO to WHO ELSE… the questions remain as written.)
Controlling your actions can be a challenge but that doesn’t mean it’s not possible. You just need to practice restraint. Refrain from fighting back, refrain from getting the last word, refrain from pointing fingers and feeling the need to prove you’re right or that you’re the strongest. Just think about those things and remind yourself how many times you’ve done that in the past… week at least. If your reminiscence shows you NONE then you’re either the Buddha or a liar.
I don’t mean to sound like your parents but… actions DO speak louder than words, and you would be wise to THINK before you ACT. 


CONTROLLING THE SITUATION
Not everyone can find themselves experiencing a difficult situation and leave with a calm & assertive energy. A lot of people walk themselves straight into walls of trouble whereas others can easily control the outcome by simply applying the first 3 steps listed above. 
Kind of like allowing someone else to think they’ve won and you’ve lost when really, you don’t care who wins or loses, because you’re above that influence. You realize that arguing can be a waste of time and with the ease that people can lose control over their own emotions, allowing the situation toe escalate would be severely counterproductive. 
So in order to control a situation, you must know either how to adapt and quickly change your mind on a matter, or when to stop trying so hard and let the river carry you for a bit. 

In a nutshell, disappointment can come from many directions, and it’s easy to be knocked off balance when another loses control over theirs. But if you condition yourself, if you condition your mind then disappointment will mean as much to you as a fly at a barbecue. See it this way… If disappointment appears on the menu, it’s because YOU put it there. 

I hope this blog has given great insight. For you deep thinkers, there may be some loose ends that I left for you to improvise and challenge yourselves with. So get creative, and enjoy the blog and feel free to come back to it should you ever find yourself disappointed, and just remember… it really is all in the mind, and the mind can be controlled, but it has to be YOU behind the wheel. =) (Just be fair to yourself and the other drivers on the road, you may be the center of your own world but you are not the center of THE world.)

Stay Positive!!

Every day is a new day. Every day brings new joy. Every day invokes new problems. Each day can carry a lot of concern.
You decide you’ll just be happy today. And just so you decide the next day. 

Do not be always worried. Do not worry about everything. Do not worry about small things. If you are worried about small things, they can become big problems. Let the small things stay small things and not always worry about them.
Do not worry, be happy.

It is time to Seize every moment. 

It is time to be grateful for every moment. It’s time to live in the present moment. 

The only day that will never get it ”tomorrow”. When ”tomorrow” comes, it becomes today.

It is time to do anything you want to do. Expand your world view. Expand your mind. Allow yourself the best. You deserve only the best. 

Let not be so many important things are not quite so important. Do not devote your precious time to what you boring and irrelevant, or not comfortable.

Living your life with love, joy and peace. You live a full life. 

Be grateful. Be happy. Enjoy the little things. Then little things can bring great pleasure. Enjoy the sunrise. Enjoy the sunset. Enjoy every orbit of the sun. Enjoy the trajectory of your life.

Always look positive side. Certainly there is always a positive side. In the worst moments it is possible to find a bright side.

Do not think that your problems are big. They are so insignificant. Remember that there is something much bigger. Much larger than anything in this universe.
There is … 

                                                                            Life!

It all started back then in our childhood when we were not shown the way to live life as we were supposed to live.  May be our parents were unaware, our neighbors were stupid, our relatives were not supportive or whatever the hack is the reason.  We heard thousands of NO’s and only a few hundreds of YES’ because whenever we tried to do something, someone told us you can’t do this. We should haven’t done that. Whenever someone in our childhood tried to stop us from doing something we made a barrier in our mind about certain things that we can’t have or do in our life and in young age it creates a huge problem for us.  Whenever we found ourselves guilty we lowered our self-esteem and confidence.

No one really told us how and why we should behave in certain manner.  We trusted our parents in childhood because they were like God to us and they taught us thinks that they considered good. But when we grow older we found that the real world is a different place and it is like jungle-rule here.  It doesn’t mean that we must hate our parents now, but we should forgive them because they did it out of love and by good intentioned mothers who taught  us to be a NICE GUY.

We all know what we should do in our life and what not. But this is absolutely WRONG. Yes you heard me.  The clarity about what you want is a very important thing. One must take a suitable amount of time to decide what are his choices in life and what does he want to accomplish.  Second step is to take action. Through away that laziness or staying in comfort zone and have some balls to feel alive in life.  Brain Tracy once said that if you are not doing at least one thing that you feel fear about and you know that it is worth doing then it means you are not making enough progress in your life for what you want to accomplish.

You can win with any strong enemy of yours in life but not with yourself when you make enemy with yourself.  So one must avoid to be his own enemy and try to me a good supporter and friend to himself to win battles in life.

You must be able to figure out what is important to you in your life. What do you value in your life?  Certain kind of job? Materialistic life? Some may like to spent time alone while others may prefer a relationship. Some people often prefer time to relax and be creative. Some of the other possibilities are: reading, listening to music, having fun, etc.

Thinking about the happy time of past will definitely help you to be happy at present. Think about times when you have felt happy or contented. Think about the places where you were when you were happy. Who else were with you? What made you feel happy or what did you do that made you happy?  What were you thinking or feeling that made you happy?

It is important that we spent more time in our life for what is important in our life and what makes us happier. To have happy and successful life we must make happiness a priority in our life. Ultimate goal in our life must be to be happy.

Every journey must start with a single step. So start with little things and work up to bigger ones. Little things might include reading for few minutes, taking a walk, calling a friend or buying great-smelling soap, shampoo, candles or tea what you will enjoy every time you use it. Try other simple things that you like and that can make you feel happy.

We must always focus on what is positive about oneself, others and life in general instead of dwelling on the negative. Try to write down in journal as many as positive things as you can think. Keep it handy to read over and continue adding to it. Never feel bad or jealous of others. Appreciate others work and learn from them.

Learn to appreciate what is working in your life right now. In the major areas of your life, such as your health, job, love life, friends, family, money and living situation, what is going well? Never discriminate yourself or think badly about yourself when something wrong happens to you. Nobody is so perfect.

Do you hate your job? Well look at it in this kind of perspective… At least you have a job! If you can write down 20 things you like about your job, or at least 20 things you could like about your job you’ll begin to REALLY like your job! your job will become easier, and the more effort that you end up putting in the more rewards will come out of it! But remember the main thing you’re experiencing when you say you like your job, is something called gratitude! Gratitude is all you need to be happy, and it will stand you in good health throughout your life! Trust me! Watch this video of Zig Ziglar in one of his seminars, as he talks beautifully on how gratitude can totally change your attitude! 

That video will totally change the way you see things in life, and once you begin to understand more profoundly how it works you’ll definitely see the difference! 

So now I am going to present to you a list of how you can be more happy with your life! 

1. Feel gratitude!
2. Smile!
3. Treasure your gifts! 
4. Be thankful for the things you sometimes take for granted!
5. Achieve something that you want.
6. Finish all your work.
7. Make someone else very happy.
8. Give yourself a reason to be happy.
9. Go for a walk in the sunshine!
10. Talk with people you love!

Now while I haven’t really gone into much detail with this list, if you do any of those things you will feel happy! The only thing that stands in your way of being happy, is yourself so right now please go forth and try out some things off this list! 
Now if you feel that after a while once you’ve tried all of these things over and over again, they lose their impact on you. Concentrate really hard on something special in your life, or something that you really desire above all else; visualise it with all intensity then gradually feel your body warm up with joy! 
Okay so that’s all for now, and if you enjoyed this article I’m sure you’ll enjoy these videos too!
