7. Practice LOVE

7. Practice LOVE

Love is the most inspiring and motivating emotion. Problems arise when you forget to love yourself and the others. Anger brings no results. Love heals every relationship. When you are indecisive and you don’t know how to talk to someone or how to act, ask yourself this very important question that clears your mind “What would LOVE do in this situation?”

But you can practice love. You can practice both self-love and love of others. Love is actually a feeling we all have. But you can do some exercises in order to feel this emotion. Ok, but how can you do that?

There is a technique that will make you feel that you are actually full of love inside you. I feel very positive and refreshed after doing this. 

Imagine yourself as a child. Look at yourself deeply in your eyes, see your small and sweet face. Realize that love is what you search for and what you really need. Give yourself your unconditional love. Surround yourself with a white light of compassion. Protect yourself. You can do the same with your friends, or parents and especially those who you are angry with. This exercise will make you realize that there is so much love in our hearts. We can heal every other person that feels unprotected or depressed. Sweetness and compassion will be released out of your soul.

5. Imagine yourself lying on your DEATH-BED

5. Imagine yourself lying on your DEATH-BED

This sentence may seem a little scary, but it is exactly the opposite. It is an exercise you can do in order to realize exactly how you want to live your life. It is a technique that some psychologists use in their therapies.

Imagine yourself lying on your death-bed. Try to feel the emotions you would have while dying. What do you feel? Regret? Is there something you would like to do and you didn't have time? Something you were afraid of trying? Did you work really hard and neglect some other important aspects of your life? Have you expressed your real feelings to your loved ones? Have you realized how beautiful and smart you are? Or were you always anxious about being inadequate all the time? Do you care too much about what the other people thought of you? Did you appreciate all the special moments in your life? Or did you let them pass?

With this technique, you will realize some very important things. You will understand that you have very strong feelings for your loved ones that you have never expressed. I decided that I wanted to live life to the fullest and in a way that if I died tomorrow, I would have fewer regrets. If you pretend that you are not going to die, you will definitely not be allowed to live your life. You have to know that there is an end in order to live more passionately, more purposefully, and with a mindset of not postponing anything important for the future. Don't plan to do your favorite things someday when you have time. Do them now, because no one can assure you that tomorrow you will be alive. This experience will help you feel refreshed and start actually living. It helped me very much and I am sure it will definitely also help you.
