Life Advice N Motivation -Week 8: The Origin of Emotion

Anger, sadness, jealousy, happiness, fear, and the list goes on.
Emotions, where do they come from? What sparks them?

You might say, emotions come from things that other people do to us, or things that happen in our lives, but emotions realy come from thoughts.

for example, fear is caused by a thought of something happening in the future, sadness is caused by thoughts of the past or memories, anger is caused by thoughts of disbelief. anxiety is caused by thinking too much!!!

Every emotion is initially caused by a thought.Especially because thoughts build on each other its hard to keep your mind clear constantly. This week on life advice & motivation, we teach that if you can eliminate negative thoughts,and stay conscious in the present moment , we can eliminate emotion. to avoid thoughts using distraction is a helpful tool to keep our minds off of things that make us feel certain feelings.

learning to be aware of the thoughts we have, will allow us to make the choice to think about other things that dont spark certain feelings. ALso, instead of ignoring our emotions or supressing them, if we do not look into our emotions, we will always be stuck with those emotions. this is because thought processes recreate emotion constantly.

Life Advice N Motivation -Week 7 : Prioritizing; Life Management

Since we kept our followers waiting this week, we will be talking about procrastinating, poor time management, and prioritizing on life advice and motivation.

what prevents us from prioritizing properly? what causes us to procrastinate? 

The human condition is : Thinking. 

Thinking causes feelings to spark in us, causing different moods to decide what we wanna do over what we should be doing. 

If you too find that you are not getting things done in your life, and when you look back on your life your life is gone, then its time too sit down and realy figure out what you want to do with your life and whats realy important. starting with thinking about whats most important to you.

To think about the value of the outcome of the things you have to do, along with the consequences of what would happend if you didnt get the things you need to get done , done..

day turns to night and night turns to day again and when we ask ourselves what we have acomplished.

the key to getting things done is finding the will to focus.
this week on life advice and motivation we ask, what gives you the will to focus and get things done from most imporant, to least important? what is your motivation ? what would the consequences be if you didnt get something you should done? and is doing something less important worth the consequential outcome of not doing it?

Life Advice N Motivation -Week 6: Choosing friends

Friends. They love us, They hurt us, They leave us, They are there for us, they do stupid things with us. But Who are they? Do we really need them? And if we do, what impact do they have and which are the right ones for us? 
Naturally, we attract to those who are similar to ourselves in character - hobbies, likes, dislikes, principles, values , morals. but sometimes our friends dont do us the favour of being benefitial motivationally. 
Friends are like habits, you have good ones and bad ones and both effect you the same way as good or bad habits do. Being able to complement the goals you have in your life with the right people is an important thing. 
for example if you have goals of being successful in school or in your career choice, would it be better to make friends with people who are extra curricularly involved in things related or not related to what your major focus in life is?

"Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born."- Anais Nin 

The following quote shows us that friends become a part of us, and influence us hugely. 
every one can make friends easily if we realy try, but life advice and motivation says, in life we must cut out the wrong people in our lives, just like how we should cut out our bad habits, such as eating too much salt, or smoking. the more we intake something that leads us to unhealthy things, the more we have a negative and down hill effect on ourselves. The truth is, the people we let into our lives usualy have a bigger negative impact on us than our regular habits that we take part in.

This week on life advice & motivation, we want you to re-evaluate your friends and the people in your life that impact it negitivily. this week is all about observing who is good for us and who is bad for us and who we need to get rid of in our lives in order to live better and reach certain goals. 
This weeks video talks about cutting off destructive relationships with people who have a negative effect on us in our lives and prevent us from reaching our goals.
