When I keep talking to people about being positive, about looking at life in a much broader perspective, about facing challenges and hard times with a smile, about never giving up, and all those things which in general looks challenging and needs a lot of effort to keep going. Then they tell me, It is easy to say then to actually follow. I have always believed in walking my talk, I tell them it's all in the mind, if we behave fearful then nothing can help us. To stay balanced and positive it's not a day's job or you just think you will be positive and it will happen. It is a gradual process and that can be achieved with a lot of inner work and a regular Meditation practice. I keep emphasizing on the Meditation practice to everyone to do it on a daily basis, even if it is just for 10 minutes. It will make a whole lot of difference in one's overall personality and approach towards life. Being in Control of life and self all the time is not easy, but when one gets into a practice, it is easier to achieve that state. Being away from my family for now almost a year, being cut off my roots for so long, has started playing on my mind also, and I keep going down more often then before, but then I just keep reminding myself that this is a temporary situation and very soon it will be resolved. Nothing is permanent in life and so are our problems. Down the line when we reflect back on them we realize that the energy we spent worrying about it, being unhappy about it, draining ourselves on it was not worth and not required. ![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmZfDwvNT8WiBJ17T6zBifEDuPqUpfjTqpGCBum4JDiPXZ/image.png) [Source](https://pixabay.com/photos/woman-face-light-painting-light-6174830/) In most of the difficult situations of life, we get driven by our emotions and our emotions starts dominating us. If that part of our self, we learn to control, half the problems of life will be taken care of. Some times we look at some people and believe that this person is always very happy, how lucky the person is, has no problems in life. But the fact is that almost everyone is fighting some battle in their life, but some are able to do it with a smile, whereas some only complain about life. When we start addressing our issues, problems with a smile, handling the situation also becomes. So what do you choose for yourselves, getting driven by your emotions, or being in control of them. To face the difficult phases of life we have to prepare ourselves mentally to face the challenges. Spend some time with things that brings joy, do some Aum chanting to raise your energy level, do some self positive talks and cheer up yourself. The whole quality of our life depends on the energy we built up around us, hence it is very important to keep spreading out good vibrations just not in to our own life but also into the universe. ***Thank you for visiting my blog.*** 👼🏻👼🏻💖💖🌹🌺🌸 ![29074314-2B4D-4B6F-95BF-C36DA204CA63.gif](https://images.hive.blog/DQmVoUR1s5svnvaDKw3hD89uysyEH1eN7xEa6HmvDkZNJ4g/29074314-2B4D-4B6F-95BF-C36DA204CA63.gif) ![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmexfm7Y3xHUSDtYLX2gywbcyG8mt4FdQ6Uop8pxAcKw5L/image.png) ***"Unlimited Abundance, Blissful Happiness and Unconditional Love"*** ![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmSgS445vgQn3U7h4a65fUJ32kFPWGtDernd79oRrVEmpJ/image.png)
