12 rules for harmony in life
Tips to help you get on with your life
Our life is not enjoyable only because there is no harmony in it. Achieving harmony in life involves some changes not only in it, but also in our personality. What is the secret of a harmonious life? It is not possible to answer this question in one word or sentence. Achieving harmony requires a comprehensive approach and a willingness to change. Let’s look at 12 rules that will help achieve the desired harmony in life.
- Harmony in life begins with a person’s reconciliation with himself or herself. Feelings of guilt for past transgressions or mistakes rob one of tranquility, clip one’s wings and alienate the rosy prospects of the future. Reconciliation with yourself should begin with forgiveness. Absolute forgiveness and letting go of everything that happened to you in the past.
- Self acceptance must be holistic-stop hating your flaws and imperfections. Everyone has their own baggage of experiences, character or appearance problems and other flaws that don’t make them bad at all. Try to just be aware of your strengths and weaknesses, and accept them without giving yourself a grade. For example, the fact that you never learned how to fix the sink in the house, although you have read thousands of books on the subject, it’s neither good nor bad – it’s just a part of you.
- another step in achieving reconciliation with yourself is to regain confidence in yourself, and to raise your self-esteem. It will take time for you to start trusting yourself again if you have lost faith in the past. Self-improvement will help you. Think about what you can change and improve about yourself and do it.
- The next stage is achieving harmony with the world around you. It is this stage is considered the most difficult, because it involves not only us, but the people around us. And to begin to put in order the relations with others, it is necessary to analyze the situation that you have at the moment. Look at your environment and think about what you like in it, and what you do not like. Think about what you would like to change.
- It’s important to begin changing your environment by absolutely forgiving all the people who have hurt you – consciously or unconsciously. Hate and lust for revenge have nothing to do with harmony in life. Forgiveness gives you freedom, so make the choice to be gracious. Everyone makes mistakes, and the power is in being able to recognize that and leave the sins of others behind.
- As you analyze your relationships with others, you have probably identified several people with whom it is high time you stopped communicating. These are relationships that are not creative, but destructive. So – you will not find harmony in this area, if you can not let them out of your life. They may not be bad people at all, but they are made for other relationships. Letting them out of your own life won’t just make you happier, you’ll open the door for them to find their own people.
- In relationships with the people around us, it’s up to us what they will be. Make the decision today to become friendly and open to new acquaintances. Start taking the initiative in relationships – be the first to call, invite to meetings, get acquainted. But, don’t rush to let people into your life, lest you surround yourself again with people you don’t want.
- Start doing good – help the people around you as much as your abilities allow. You don’t have to give half your salary to help a shelter at all. It’s so easy to help people if you see their needs and open your heart. Most importantly, it fills your basic and unconscious need in the first place. All people are born with a need to make the world a better place, and that’s why many people are unhappy, because they chose the path of destruction over the path of creation. Give your sandwich to a homeless person, buy 100 grams of dry food and feed the kittens living on the street, donate unwanted clothing to the needy. You will not become poorer; you will enrich yourself.
- Filling another need will make our lives more harmonious. It is creativity. Everyone has creative abilities, and we need to find ways to fulfill them. Maybe it is cooking, or gardening. Or maybe you have a talent for writing. Look deep inside yourself and you will find that you can “create”!
- And of course, in order to achieve harmony in life, it is necessary to harmonize the space in which we find ourselves. First and foremost is to create a cozy and peaceful atmosphere in your home. Your home helps you to restore energy, it shelters you from the weather and the hostility of the world. Make it so that you feel the pleasure of being in your home. And you decide for yourself how to do it, according to your abilities.
- Everyone needs moments of unity with themselves. Find those opportunities for yourself every day. 10-15 minutes spent in silence and calmness, without haste and fuss, can bring our life to a new level, make it more conscious and harmonious.
- never forget your body. It is impossible to talk about life harmony if you feel sick and broken. Everyone can do something, even without the help of doctors, to improve their health. Maybe it’s time to start a fasting cleanse or a morning jog? Think about what you can do for your body and make it a reality.
