Why "YOGA"

  It's wonderful to work out, lose weight and tone up, but yoga is so much more than a great workout.  Yoga means union. It is a state of being in the present, focusing on the here and now. It's a path to self discovery, fine-tuned awareness, and unification of the mind, body and soul. Yes, it is a series of postures that makes you sweat and burn calories, but more than that, it is a way to escape the restrictions of the mind and the limitations we put on ourselves.  Many people think yoga is part of a religion- particularly Hinduism. It is not a part of any religion. It is more a science through which we can restore the balance of our emotional well being and of course, our fitness. Through regular practice, you'll begin to notice subtle transformations in how you feel.  Yoga is not competitive or goal-oriented. Even when you're in a class full of people, it remains a personal practice. It is a time for you to go inward, staying with your breath, and move through the f

 

Where can you find  a Peace 


               Where can you find a peace 

 There are 10 actions to find inner peace.

1) You need to set your limitations..

Most of the time, we get busy because we don’t know how to set our limitations.

You can minimize being preoccupied with knowing when to stop yourself – especially if you know that it doesn’t matter that much.

For example, if you only use social media to see what’s the new gossip in town, then you can set a limit for how many times you will check it.

The time you use to browse your Facebook, Instagram and Twitter feed are better spent on things meant for self-improvement.


2) It’s not about defeating your anxieties.

It’s easy to feel anxiety if you aren’t feeling inner peace. Yet trying to avoid anxiety may be preventing you from feeling at ease with yourself.

3) Try to relax

Deep abdominal breathing encourages full oxygen exchange — that is, the beneficial trade of incoming oxygen for outgoing carbon dioxide. Not surprisingly, it can slow the heartbeat and lower or stabilize blood pressure.


Deep breathing is something you can do anywhere, anytime.

To practice deep breathing, breathe in slowly through your nose, allowing your chest and lower belly to rise as you fill your lungs. Let your abdomen expand. Hold for at least 4 seconds. Then breathe out slowly through your mouth (or nose, if it feels more comfortable) for 6 seconds.

If deep breathing doesn’t work for you, you can find another relaxation technique that works for you. Maybe a workout or a long walk will recharge you during the day. Or it could be music, yoga, meditation or going for a swim.


4) Don’t make the issue bigger than it is.

Making a fuss about nothing can create a lot of unnecessary stress for you.

When facing something that you think is a major disaster, ask yourself if what is going on will still matter in 5 years.

Answering the question will help you look at the bigger picture. Most of the time, we are the ones who are making things worse – even when they are just trifling matters.


5) You have to slow down.

Being frantic all the time has negative effects on your mind and body. But if you slow down, you start to feel less stressed.

Most of the time, what we need to slow down is our overthinking. However, slowing down goes for many other things you do in everyday life too like multitasking or riding your bicycle.

6) Learn to practice modern meditation.

If you want to experience inner peace, then there really isn’t a better technique than learning how to practice meditation.

Why?

Because meditation helps you become aware of your present reality without engaging in it emotionally or reacting to it.

When you practice meditation, you learn to simply observe and acknowledge things as they are.

In other words, you need to learn how to sit with yourself, observe your thoughts, and stop attaching to your emotions.

The problem?

Meditation isn’t easy.

In this day and age, we’ve grown up thinking a million different things at a time and never stopping to sit with ourselves.

7) Unclutter your world for a stress-free mind.

 don’t know about you, but for me, I can’t work when my desk or the house is cluttered. In this situation, my focus is divided between cleaning and working. And in the end, I always choose the former. Why? Because clutter makes me irritable.

What works for me may not work for everyone. But I found that taking a few minutes to clutter my workspace or the room I’m in brings back my focus.

An uncluttered, simplified, and ordered space makes my mind clearer so I can think better.

But, don’t stop there. You can always declutter and organize your home for a more relaxing environment. You can take it up a notch and do it in Marie Kondo’s style.

8) Be a minimalist.

For others, the minimalist approach to living seems cold and devoid of life. But for its advocates, being a minimalist takes away the unnecessary distractions which brings peace of mind, clarity, and focus.

9) Be prompt.

Practicing promptness maybe a small habit. But its effect on your schedule is huge.

When you are early, it can make what used to be a stressful time into a period of relaxation and recharging. Promptness also gives you enough time to adjust to sudden unwanted changes.

10) Learn to accept and let go.

What happened in the past should stay in the past. No matter how negative it is like something that someone said or did, you need to let it go.

Accept the fact that nothing will change even with a lot of rumination. Let that feeling and thought in instead of trying to push it away because when you do, it starts to lose power.

I am not saying you can forget the details of what happened, but the negative feelings will become less powerful.

Instead, you can direct your focus to the present moment and something better.
