Ways to Cope with Anxiety During the Coronavirus

NOV 28, 2021

These uncertain times have been very tough for most. Fear of contracting the virus, or losing a loved one or losing a job can have a severe toll on our mental health. There has been a tremendous rise in depression and anxiety cases after the start of Covid-19. Such mental pressure is bad for our health and we must defend ourselves against it. What can you do to help yourself?

1) Be kind to yourself: I know that you are going through a lot. Financial risks, health worries, loneliness are now a part of our everyday lives. Given the situation the worst you could do which would hurt you even further would be talking negatively about your life. Remember you are not alone, there are several millions going through the same thing. You need to stay strong and positive. This too will pass. There has never been a storm that hasn’t had its strength dissipate with time. It is however critical that you keep you biggest asset (your body) physically fit!.

Do body weight training and a little bit of cardio. Yoga and meditation will help you relax as well. Just log into YouTube and you will have several videos that will help you with the right methods. Make exercise a regular part of your daily routine.

3) Stay connected with others: Don’t self-isolate. Physically connecting with people may be out of the question. But make sure you connect with them via call or communication tools like WhatsApp, Zoom and Skype. We are social beings. Sharing how you feel with others will make you happier and less stressed. You are human and cannot live in hiding for long. You must connect.

4) Spend some time in nature: Spending time with nature can be quite soothing. Make sure you step outdoors in your garden. Get some fresh air and feel the connect with nature. If you have space outside your house get into the practise of gardening. It will help you feel grounded and stress free.

Tiny Changes Could Bring You Great Dividends

JULY 19, 2021

Life can move way past of us and there are times when you could lose complete control over it. Indeed life is quite unpredictable and you can never know what will come your way, but you must be ready for it all. When adversity strikes, make the following few adjustments to your life, they will bring you great dividends.

1) Journal: We have numerous thoughts a day and many are worth remembering so make it a habit of noting down your important thoughts. Even if it is just noting down what you are grateful for, or a to do list or things that you are struggling with. Whatever it maybe, when you write it down you are in a better position to take action.

2) Don’t waste time on things that do not add to your life: Don’t say yes to everything and everyone. It could be a big waste of time. Choose to do only what is important. Learn to relax, let go of unnecessary stuff and prioritize the important ones for your life.

3) Reflect: Reflect on your life and monitor your progress. Check on your professional life, your career, your love life, your family life and so on. See how you feel. Check if any area requires your focus and work on it accordingly.

4) Sleep well: A good 6-8 hours of restful sleep at night is very essential for your body to rejuvenate. When sleep deprived everything looks haywire. Your mood is affected and you cannot make the right decisions.

5) Talk about your feelings: We are all human beings. We all have feelings some bad and some good. Don’t bottle up your feelings. You will feel miserable. Learn to open up and talk about them. Find a colleague, a friend or even a life coach to help you open up your feelings. Do not shy away from doing so.

6) Plan your days: Make it a point to plan out your day the previous night. Make a to do list of all the things that you want to achieve. Set forth the agenda of the day and this will help you achieve all that you need to get done. Never start your day unplanned.

7) Do the hardest task of the day first: Eat the frog first! As you start your day make sure you complete the hardest task first. In this manner you get over the toughest part of your day and then are free to live the rest of it with ease.

Don’t be too hard on yourself – Practice being Self-Kind

MAY 19, 2021

Life may not always go the way we want it to. You may fail or falter but that is quite normal even for the best. When this happens don’t get too hard on yourself. One of the best ways to stay motivated and keep progressing is to be self-kind. Practicing self-kindness could keep you on your path to success and catapult you to unexpected peaks. Whatever happens you need to be able to love yourself first.

First stop doing these things:
1) Lowering your self esteem: Failure is likely to make your self-esteem take a dip. You could begin to thinking that you do not deserve success. This will lead to you being frustrated with yourself. Make sure to stop doing this immediately.
2) Stop having fun: After being harsh on yourself you shouldn’t stop having fun and take the joy out of doing stuff what you used to enjoy doing. Left unchecked this willmake you begin to dread doing those things that you used to like to. This is a very bad area to get into.
3) Your performance deteriorates: When you are too harsh on yourself it affects your performance and productivity. You become unsure and begin to procrastinate more often and work just does not get done.

Practice doing the following things instead:
1) Make yourself aware to avoid the above: Remind yourself how bad it is for you to be harsh on yourself and how it affects your work and your relationships.
2) Set higher standards for yourself: Do not get influenced by the negative news, social media or movies, most of the things there are exaggerated and sometimes not even true. Do not set unrealistic goals, go for smarter goals that are achievable. We are all not perfect and shouldn’t feel rejected only because of our human imperfections.
3) What can you learn from setbacks? There is so much to learn from all our failures. There is something or the other that will help you find reason as to why you will not repeat the same mistake again. Identify it and do just that.
4) Celebrate small moments: Do not take anything for granted. Celebrate all that is achieved by you. You can achieve anything you set your eyes on and just do that. No achievement is too small. So go ahead and do your best.

What to Do When Someone Gets Under Your Skin

MAY 19, 2021

Words or actions directed towards us sometimes can bring us down hard. Sometimes people that matter to us can get under our skin and hurt us badly upsetting us. People have opinions about us that we may not like and often they are spoken out aloud. How can we get a hold of ourselves when people get on our nerves?

1) Let it out: Talk it over with someone – either a friend, a family member, a colleague or a life coach. A lot of inner tension is immediately released when one does this. Bottling up feelings inside will not make things better. You will end up choking yourself out on negativity and hate.

2) Could the person be having a bad day? Ask yourself is the person hurting you could be having a worse day than you could imagine. It may so happen that the person who is nasty and rude may have an issue at his end. Maybe the day is just not going right for him and so he is ready to snap at anyone and anything. It may just not be about you at all.

3) Can you learn from this? Everything that happens to us is a learning experience. Life has a lot to teach us and such instances happen in our life so that we learn from them. Take a minute and see what it maybe, could it be forgiveness, patience?

4) Replace the situation with positive energy: A negative situation can easily be turned around by doing something positive. For every negative that happens to you, think of 3 positive things and let the feelings of positivity sink in. Feel the positivity and soon you’ll let go of the negative moments.

5) Detach from the person: You want to surround yourself with only that which is positive. Negative influences in life must we weeded out. Just as weeds are removed from the crop we need to de-weed negative people. If anyone around you is too negative for too long stay away from them.

I am always there for anyone who would like to talk to me to deal with anyone getting under their skin. I offer a one to one coaching program that is designed to help you change your life for the better. Check it out at coaching

If you agree that it is a good idea and would like to work on yourself then it could probably be the best decision of your life. You must work on a self-improvement plan that will take the following 5 suggestions into account.

4) Connect with people: No man or woman can live like an island. We are social beings and need to connect with each other from time to time to better our own lives. Whether it is reconnecting with old friends, taking a colleague out for a meal or spending time with a family member make sure you do that often. Do not stay aloof in your own world; it will decrease your happiness.

The Hard Reality That We try hard to Avoid

APRIL 25, 2021

We need to learn to accept certain realities and move on instead of clinging on to them till our grave. If you cling on to failures it will affects your self-improvement. Here are few ways by which we can accept certain unpleasant truths in your life.

1) You do not excel at your passion only because you don’t practice enough: We often take our jobs and hobbies for granted and that is why we do not do well at what we do. Learn to not to give up on your passions unless they become obviously detrimental to you.

2) We can never prepare for the death of our loved ones: The harsh reality is that we are all born to die. No matter how much we hold on to someone they are going to leave us some day. Make the best of the times that you have with your loved ones knowing full well that everything will pass.

3) You can’t lose weight if you do not change the way you eat: What you do has brought you to where you are today. If you don’t change and continue doing what you do you can never change the present for the better future. If you do not bring any change in your diet you will not bring any change in your weight. You have to pay the price. It may be cutting out fat, oil, junk, exercising whatever the case maybe you got to do it.

4) You can’t please everyone: No one has the potential to keep everyone happy. We cannot please all. Even an ice cream seller won’t be able to please all. There will surely be a missing flavour. So lead your life whether everyone is happy with you or not. Everyone cannot be our friend.

5) To make money learn this misunderstood fundamental: First decide how much you will save from your earnings then spend what is left. Most of us do just the opposite. We save what is left after spending. This is the universal truth of getting rich.

6) You are your toughest critic: Don’t be your harshest critic. Too much self-criticism will disempower you. It will hold you down and stop you from progressing.

7) We are all lazy: No matter what you do you just cant keep at it all day and every day. You must take a break to nourish and nurture yourself. Make sure to and work well during the time allotted for your work. Make time for nourishing and nurturing yourself. Take time off to spend with your loved ones.

Accept these harsh truths so that you can move forward in life. Make these changes to your life and things will look different for you.

Stop Being a People Pleaser Learn the goodness of NO

APRIL 25, 2021

It is good to please people but being a door mat type of a people’s pleaser and not having a spine of your own can have terrible consequences for you. It will impact your life so badly that you forget to live the life that you want. People begin taking you and your needs for granted. Stop being a door mat.

Below are 5 good reasons why you should change this dirty habit:

1) Some people just can’t be pleased: No matter what you do you will never come to terms with some people. It is not about you but more about them. Unfortunately we live in a society where many people feel they are entitled to be pampered. It is perfectly okay to let go of the people that you cannot please.

2) Learn to say no: It is hard to say no to people even when you shouldn’t be doing the things that they want you to do. If you want to be happy, you must to learn to say no. Explain to them why you would not like to do what they expect you. You are likely to feel a bit guilty but it will pass off once you convince yourself that you haven’t wronged anyone. If you keep saying yes at the cost of your happiness, you will never end up being happy.

3) People do not care that much about what you do: It is unlikely that people will feel offended that you said a no to them even if they do it will just be for a short while. If they do get badly hurt and if you feel they were over doing it then it is their hard luck. People are busy with their own kids, career, pets, hobbies, dreams and worries. Even if they distance themselves from you because you chose to stand up for yourself, do not regret losing out a negative influence from your life.

4) Learn to handle criticism: Like I said earlier your decision to say a no may not go well with many, especially those who have gotten used to you being a ‘yes person’. They will indulge in criticizing you, however stand your ground and ignore it. Respond to the criticism only if you feel it is necessary by replying back as you deem fit without lashing out. It is okay to disagree, once you do then let go of all the criticism that you absorbed.

5) Set boundaries for yourself: by setting boundaries for yourself, it will be easier for you to say ‘no’. Maybe a strict start and stop work time. A set social media time. No work during the weekends at all and so on. Whatever you set for yourself, stick to it. Live your life on your terms. Be cheerful and happy always. Do not let others control you in any way. Learn to be the master of your own destiny. I have come up with a program titled Power your life with the Life’s Mastery Vision Script Program (LMVS). Be the Master of Your Destiny. Life’s Mastery Vision Script is the Most Powerfilled Technique to Manifest Your Desires with Ease.

This program is made out in such a way to get for you the best results in the shortest time and that too within the comfort of your home.

7 Ways to build better Relationships

MARCH 29, 2021

How can you get the best out of some of your relationships in order to feel healthier, happier and more fulfilled? As we get older we seek for more companionship and deeper meaning in our relationships. However, it is not always easy to have intimacy in relationships unless we are ready to risk being ‘rejected’ or laughed at.

Here are a few pointers that will help you along your journey.

1) Be genuine: You need to bring your genuine self to the table if you would like to take your relationships to the next level. You need to be able to show your counterpart your partner the real you. This helps both. Ifn the first instance the person you would like to build this relationship with see you as being open and truthful but at the same time you know that you are being accepted for who you are rather than who you used to project yourself to be.

2) Have more meetings: You might have fun hanging out in groups; however for deep intimacy one on one meetings should be your primary way forward. They allow you to bond and have personal conversations which are practically impossible in the group.

3) Listen attentively: Listening is a great way for you to be able to nurture an intimate relationship. Slow down and pay as much attention to the recipient of your affection when you engage with them. He or she will begin to notice that you are interested in them and appreciate that you care.dreams and worries. Even if they distance themselves from you because you chose to stand up for yourself, do not regret losing out a negative influence from your life.

4) Remember the little things: When your friend discusses the small things that they like or dislike, make a note of it. If you remember them at the next meeting and act accordingly without being told they will appreciate you all the more.

5) More calls: Instead of just texts messages, try and make more phone calls. They convey emotions better, give a right tone to your words and make the other person feel more loved.

6) Reduce time on social media: Do not get so caught up with social media that it makes you forget the real relationships you should be building. Instead try and meet up in person instead of spending time with your loved ones online. The offline connect is wonderful and a million times more meaningful.

7) Have fun: It is very essential to be yourself and have fun in a relationship. Do not let it get dry and boring. Act silly, let the child inside you come out at times, just be yourself and watch your relationship blossom.

I am not relationship coach, but I do know the importance of wellness that can be achieved in ones life when one gets into the right relationship. In order to have great relationships one accept oneself unconditionally. Try out my programs that help you get more out of life. Many of them are even FREE. Visit www.mariosequeira.org

How to Catch Yourself When You Stumble or Fall

FEBRUARY 25, 2021

As humans we all falter. We make mistakes and at times keep repeating them leading us to repeatedly stumble and fall. While it is quite normal for us to be making mistakes, what is important is being able to hold on to ourselves when we fall. If you are one of those who gets stuck and quits on missions as soon as you make a mistake then read on. You must get out of this very negative approach that will keep you from reaching major milestones in your life.

Today I bring to you few ways by which you can quickly pick yourself up when you stumble.

1) Be your own best friend: It is okay to feel annoyed or disappointed when you fail. But learn to avoid beating yourself up for it. Be kind and supportive to yourself. Ask yourself, “How a friend or your parent would help you in such a situation”. Then start doing the things you would hear a friend or your parent tell you to do in this scenario.

2) Have you learnt the lesson?: A mistake is not permanent. It is a temporary situation that we need to overcome. Be optimistic and constructive about the situation and ask yourself if you have learned anything from the debacle. There will always be some good in any situation, however hopeless it may look or feel.

3) Take small steps forward: If you are down dust yourself and get up as quickly as possible. Ask yourself, what tiny steps could be taken to start the recovery process. Take one small step after another and begin the return of the dragon! You will have to stay focussed and motivated to win over the situation. The secret is to be consistent.

4) Learn a new skill: Identify why you had the fall. Very often it could be because you were lacking in a skill or knowledge. Make the time to immediately learn the particular skill and gain the necessary knowledge to overcome similar obstacles that will surely come along the future. We all make mistakes but to repeat the same mistake twice is criminal. There is a saying that says ‘even God may find it difficult to forgive the same mistake when made twice!’

5) Get a life coach: One quick route to recovery is to hire a life coach. While it may look unnecessary at first the truth is that a life coach could be quite transformational. Life is such you are either growing or de-growing. You can’t be stationary! If you are not moving forward then you have to be sliding down backward. There is no third way. Mentoring or coaching is for those people who want guidance on the way forward either because they are successful but stuck or just because they want to grow and need guidance. Get in touch with me today, I can catapult you to a completely new level of success that you have never dreamt of ! coaching

6) Reduce time on social media: Do not get so caught up with social media that it makes you forget the real relationships you should be building. Instead try and meet up in person instead of spending time with your loved ones online. The offline connect is wonderful and a million times more meaningful.

7) Have fun: It is very essential to be yourself and have fun in a relationship. Do not let it get dry and boring. Act silly, let the child inside you come out at times, just be yourself and watch your relationship blossom.

How to Brighten Your Mornings

FEBRUARY 25, 2021

If you are one of those who wakes up and prays and hopes that your day goes as per you’re your plans then count yourself as one among lucky few who does so. You have ahead of you a day full off potential and opportunity. The secret is to get hold of your mornings so that the rest of your day goes as per your plan. Here are a few tips to help you brighten up your mornings:

1) Have a reminder by your beside table: A great way to start your day would be to have notes as reminders by your bedside table or even in your mobile. I for one use my iPhones Siri to set reminders. These tiny notes or reminders help put you off onto a good start. Taking things a step further list out your life’s top 3 priorities and keep this paper in a prominent place on your study or office table where you will be able to see it often. Every time you gaze at it your brain is alerted of your need ambition and so you automatically begin to work towards target.

2) Give one genuine compliment: Start your day by giving out genuine compliments to the people you meet early in the day. It maybe your partner, your co-worker, your boss or just about anyone. You could compliment someone for their taste in music, or their dress, style, a haircut or just the way they arrange their desk .

3) Positivity over breakfast: You may find this difficult to believe but I don’t read the newspapers! I keep myself abreast of the news by connecting on Twitter and getting into details only if I feel something important is happening around. After reading newspapers and also following new on television for many many years I concluded that they are just sensational and negative. They have to be sensational and negative because that is what sells. Avoid new papers and the Tv so as not to read or watch the depressing negative news, especially in the morning as it will be a negative way to start your day. Instead, read a couple of uplifting blogs, or if possible have a warm conversation with your loved ones around the breakfast table.

4) Workout: A little bit of exercise is great for everyone. You can train with weights or use your body weight or do yoga or go for a swim or at least take a small walk. Do whatever makes you break a light sweat and stay healthy. Ideally you should get a minimum of 30 minutes of exercise each day to be fit and fine but I say if you cant do 30 then do whatever you can but please do.

5) Do the most important task of your day first: Many professionals prefer getting through with the easier work first leaving the more difficult stuff for later. This is far from the best way to begin your day. When you get to work, start off the day by doing the most important task for the day. Once done with it, you will feel lighter all through the day thus making you more efficient. It gives you a sense of accomplishment.

Win over your mornings by getting into the habit of practicing the above. You will have great days ahead full of joy and productivity. It is important to live a stress free and organised life and you can do so if you start off your mornings in the right manner.

Stay Energetized!

FEBRUARY 01, 2021

When we are energetic we live a high energy and automatically become happier healthier and often even wealthier. Energetic people are known to be more productive live life the king size. The problem is that many of us start off very energetic but get slowed down due to the cross winds that we are forced to face along life’s journey. Even daily chores coupled with stress can drain us of energy and happiness. I know many who live lives without any momentum and so accomplish very little in their lives. Indeed I have seen highly productive people suddenly get bereft of energy and live their entire lives on the periphery. What a waste of a life..!
ere are some ways to keep you energetic, excited and happy with yourself:

1) Control Stress: Stress consumes loads of energy and truly drains us out. When stressed try and talk to a friend, or join a support group or get yourself a life coach. Worry will do nothing to help you. It will only not allow you to enjoy the moment. If there is something that worries you get it resolved. If you can’t resolve it then there is no point in worrying about it! Try out stress reduction techniques like meditation, yoga or even dance therapy. Spend time with nature. It really helps reduce stress levels.

2) Lighten your load: If you feel the stress is getting to you then reduce your daily load till you feel you are in a position to get back to your normal routine or even better till you can increase your load. When down don’t chew more than you can. Each day prepare a to-do list and put onto it just the right amount of things that you can accomplish in a day. The satisfaction one gets by ticking off successful targets can have a huge positive rub off on your morale.

3) Exercise: Exercising is very important in reducing stress and increasing your energy levels. Find a right routine of bodyweight exercises or weight training. Make sure you work out at least 4 days a week for one hour each day. Sweat it out real good for best results.

4) Avoid smoking: If you are one of those who puff their way to glory, try to quit smoking. Smoking actually saps you of energy and besides all its well-known side effects it even causes insomnia. When you do not get adequate sleep you will feel drained off energy.

5) Adequate Sleep: Sleep is an underrated necessity. Make sure you get sufficient hours of sleep each day. A good 7-8 hours of restful sleep is a must. Avoid any screen time before going to bed and when possible keep a gap of at least two hours between your last meal and bed time.

6) Eat healthy: Try and weed out junk food from your diet. Eat a good mix of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Include fresh foods and fruits in your diet. Eat fresh foods where possible and don’t hesitate to fast if you don’t have contraindicated health issues like diabetes etc in which case you should consult a doctor before fasting.

7) Limit alcohol: Enjoying a drink each day is fine, but do not overdo it. Alcohol reduces your reaction time and often makes you feel lethargic. Avoid drinking during the day and if you feel you need to indulge in one, do so late evening..

Life is not only about accumulating wealth. While wealth is very important there is no point in having all the wealth in the world if you are not physically well and able to enjoy it. If you don’t get this then understand that you are only accumulating wealth to be able to pay for your medical bills at a later date. For those of you struggling with weight gain, I have just the right program for you. I myself have lost more than 27 kilos and have the keys to the secrets of weight loss that I am happy to share with you. Check it out at www.mariosequeira.org.

6 Important Things That Often Make One Uncomfortable but are important

JANUARY 11, 2021

While we indulge a lot in various activities we often find these important things uncomfortable to do. Where able make it a point to add them to your daily routine. Read the below paras attentively and take from them whatever good you can. There is a lot that you could benefit from:

1) Worrying about not having a 5 year plan: ‘We are not super human beings and cannot plan what needs to be accomplished 5 years down the line. Hence we need not worry about planning so much ahead. It is best we focus one step at a time’. That is how many of us think. But it can be very wrong. A five year plan or a long term plan gives direction to our lives and is very important to have.

2) Being in solitude: We must always devote some amount of time for ourselves. We are social beings but can best connect with our higher selves when alone. Solitude can be quite scary for those that are not used to being alone or even to many who are not used to spending time in silence. It is a habit that you must inculcate into yourself slowly but surely. Take it one day at a time but be consistent.

3) Letting go off anxiety: Ill feelings make us both anxious and stressed out. Practice letting go of them. Albeit it may seem only natural to hold a grudge against someone who has not treated you respectfully, it is best to let go. If worried replace negative thoughts with positive ones. There is nothing to be gained by worrying.

4) Relaxing: I know of so many people who think ‘relaxing is not for me!’ It is very essential for you to take breaks. They are very healthy and will do you wonders. Don’t feel guilty to treat yourself to a holiday or watch a movie. Such things serve to balance your life.

5) Admitting when you are wrong: If you’ve made a mistake there is nothing better than admitting it and moving on. The problem however is with the little devil we call our EGO. We refuse to admit to our mistakes most of the time because we are concerned about what others will think of us. We then needlessly cling on to a lot of negativity which drags us down to no-where.

6) Being willing to receive: If you are one of those that believes that good is not for you or that abundance is only for the rich and not for you then you need to work on your thinking. Keep an open mind and be open to receive abundance at all points of time. Look at the world and see that there is abundance all around you. Know and believe that you are a part of the same abundant world.

Now that you have read these 6 points don’t to let go off the required activities and put them off for a later date. These minor course corrections when ignored affect our lives negatively but when implemented can do you a world of good.

Gift yourself the virtue of Self-Kindness

JANUARY 11, 2021

These are challenging days that can often be quite stressful. Don’t punish yourself unnecessarily. In the first place you really aren’t in control of the present situation and secondly when you deprecate yourself it takes a huge toll on your self-esteem and in turn on your overall well-being. Be kind to yourself, no matter when things are going right and even when they aren’t going the way you want them to. This way you will remain happier and even more effective and motivated.

1. Concentrate on stuff that is kind and constructive: When you feel challenged and weak shift your focus away from the present situation. A sure way of falling prey to a lot of negativity is by being on social media extensively. Avoid negativity posted on social media. Read personal development blogs and watch videos that empower and embolden you. Spend time in nature and heal yourself as you relax. Don’t allow yourself you get bogged down with destructive vices like excessive drinking or smoking.

2. Give yourself a break: Do not overwork yourself. Hard work is essential but do not get so busy that you complete stress yourself out. Take breaks. It is difficult to take holidays especially now a days but breaks you surely can. Spend time with your loved ones. If possible go on a fishing trip or on a trek. These things will distract your mind and keep you relaxed.

3. Practice forgiveness: As I have so often said forgiving does more good to you than anyone else. Let go of the grudge against a person who ill-treats you. It’s not worth clinging on to the double edged sword; you just end up cutting yourself. Don’t forget to forgive yourself. Clear your heart of hate and free it up so that it can be filled with love and compassion. Doing this cultivates the virtue of altruism.

4. Express Gratitude: It is very important to be grateful. Be grateful for all the things that happen to you. Be grateful to yourself for all that you accomplish. Be grateful for things that didn’t go your way. They are probably preventing you from greater evil. Treat yourself well. Every time you complete a tough task you could treat yourself to a chocolate or an ice-cream or go catch a movie. Be kind to yourself and keep yourself happy.

5. Be mindful: Do everything mindfully. In this way you avoid the things that hurt. Be aware of what is happening around you. Protect yourself from judgemental and negative people. Avoid all those who do not wish well for you. When you encounter negativity just relax, take deep breaths and move on with your life. Be negativity- proof and do not dirty yourself with it.

I’ve worked on several programs that talk about self-love and compassion. A few of them are free. Try them out at www.mariosequeira.org

7 simple rules that can enhance the life you live

DECEMBER 11, 2020

Life is a blessing that has been bestowed upon all of us. But do we really cherish it? In these Covid times we often crib but there is so much we can do to make life interesting. Do we live in ecstasy or do we live through misery? Do we keep complaining about the lack in our life and ignore the abundance in it? Well, whatever way you live your life, here are a few tips to better its quality and start living happily.

1) Accept yourself: It is important that you accept yourself the way you are. This looks like such a simple affair but in practice most of humanity goes through unthinkable self-inflicted torture only because they refuse to accept themselves for what they are. Look at yourself in the mirror and see that you are created in God’s own image, Know that you are the product of the all- powerful and all magnificent source energy. It could surely not go wrong. Just love yourself the way you are, if you are fat or thin, tall or short, dark or fair, these are just physical appearances and do not determine the quality of your life. Look beyond just physical appearances.

2) Discuss your emotions: We are all human; we experience a wide range of feelings and emotions. It is important not to bottle up the negative feelings and talk them out either to a loved one, a trusted friend or even a professional Life Coach. We often bottle up our feelings and then resort to alcohol and drugs for failed solutions. It is normal for all of us to experience all kinds of emotions and we need to deal with them maturely.

3) Do not be afraid of failing: Fear of failure could keep you from moving forward. Do not worry about the outcome of failure. Your biggest failure could just be due to a lack of trying. The keystone to success and perfection is trying and failing. It is better to fail trying than never try at all. Edison claimed that he had 1000 failures before he actually succeeded with the incandescent bulb. He called them stepping stones. Go after your goals and do not worry about failure, if you fail get up, reflect on the task and in the light of the added experience continue with even more strength.

4) Make time for relationships: It is important to lead a balanced life and make time for all of life’s relationships. Each of us is a son or daughter, a sibling, a spouse or a parent to someone. Dont take your relationships for granted but instead spend quality time in all of them. It may not be possible to do so every day, atleast do it on the weekends.

5) Do not overdo the digital world: Yes, the digital world is fun and convenient. It makes us feel like we are in touch with the world constantly. But do not overdo your time with technology. It has its negative effects. Anything in excess is bad for your system.

6) Listen to your desires: Live beyond your work and pay checks. Life is beautiful if you live well. Follow your dreams and passions. If you want to learn a new sport or a musical instrument go ahead and do it. Follow your heart’s desire. It is never too late to do something new. Go ahead and write that book, cook that favourite dish, indulge in gardening, pamper yourself, it is your life, you live it just once.

7) Remember that you too are mortal: Just like the rest of us you too have an expiry date. We come to this world for a limited time. And this is what makes life even more worth it. Do not wait for the ideal time to enjoy life. It is a journey enjoy life all the way. Be happy with what you have and keep smiling always. Life’s good.

I have worked on an interesting program called Life’s Mastery Vision Script. It is specially crafted for those who want to take control of their life. You get unimaginable benefits in the shortest time and that too within the comfort of your home.

There are no difficult parts. It has all been broken down into an easy to implement program and what’s best is that you don’t have to sit for hours in some stuffy conference room.

How to stay positive during a pandemic

DECEMBER 11, 2020

The Covid-19 pandemic has thrown the entire world into chaos. What is worse is the number of lives lost to the virus. If we are alive today we need to be really grateful. Such a difficult situation can be very challenging and even traumatic to many. It is bound to cause feelings of deep seated anxiety and even depression. Many people have been seeking my advice on how to handle the Covid challenge and it is because of that that I decided to put down a few thoughts on ways to stay positive during the pandemic.

1) Do not let paranoia get the better of you: While being careful and alert don’t get too perturbed even if you develop any mild symptoms of Covid. It could often just be psychological. Don’t jump to the conclusion that you have been infected at worst it could just be a common cold that will pass off with time. If required talk to your doctor and see if you need to get tested.

2) Eat healthy and exercise: Your body is faced with a potentially challenging Covid attact and your job is to help it cope with the challenge. The best thing you can do to equip and empower it so it doesn’t get infected. The best way to do this is to support it build a strong immunity. This can be done if you eat healthy foods and indulge in regular exercise. Eat foods rich in Vitamin C, iron, vitamin A,D etc. Exercise every day, take a walk in nature, yoga or do body weight training.

3) Social distancing is not the same as emotional distancing: We have all been forced to practice social distancing to stay protected and to protect others as well. This is very good. However do not grow distant from those you love. We all need to keep in touch to survive emotionally. Don’t become a recluse as that also adds to the stress of your body and can adversely affect your immunity! Stay in touch with online tools like Zoom, Skype, Whatsapp and so on.

4) Schedule some me time: Make sure to give yourself the time that you need. If you like reading or playing a musical instrument make sure that you do that. Making time for yourself is very essential.

5) Prevent information overload: We need to be updated with what is happening around the world, however do not over indulge in the news and watch Covid updates or negative news several times a day. By seeing negative news you will cultivate feelings of fear and distress that is likely to make you dipressed which again is not good for your immunity!

6) Get support: If you need any special assistance find a friend or a mental health professional or a Life Coach like me. I have coached over 200 clients and together we have manged to get lives back on track. I also have created several programs based on love and peace, some of them are even FREE. Try them out at www.mariosequeira.org

In the meantime remember that this too will pass so be strong and stay happy. -

Simple Ways To Live A Happy Life: Few Things to Say Yes to Beginning Today

DECEMBER 11, 2020

Being happy does not require extraordinary effort. Simple tweaks to your routine can generate tons of happiness. Happiness is a state of mind and you are all responsible for your own happiness. There is no external factor responsible for it.
Here are simple yet effective steps to accelerate the abundance of happiness in your daily life:

1) Expect and accept imperfection: Trying to live the perfect life raises the bar to impossible heights. This needlessly creates disappointments. It is okay to settle for what is good enough even though it may not be perfect. Do not use it as an excuse to settle for just about anything though.

2) Be yourself: Stop trying to meet others expectations of you. Don’t change for others. Do what makes you happy. Hang around people who support what you do, rather than those who criticise or make you do things differently.

3) Try out new stuff: Doing new things will help you come alive and keep you excited. Routine can make life dull and boring. Spice up your life and make it exciting. Change the type of music you listen to, try out a different cuisine, go for a late-night movie show and so on. You could also try to learn new things, like a new sport or a musical instrument.

4) Have an open mind: There are ample opportunities that will come your way. Be receptive by keeping an open mind. If you see an opportunity come your way, grab it and dive into it immediately. It is only when you welcome and act on opportunities that you get to discover new stuff and find happiness.

5) Learn to say no: Do not become a people’s pleaser in the long run it just doesn’t work. No one can keep everyone happy all the time. By trying to please others you may end up taking away your own happiness. Do not do the things that make you unhappy just because you could not say a no to somebody.

6) Forgive: Do remember that by forgiving someone you aren’t doing him or her a favour. Forgiveness does more good to you than to the person who you forgive. When you forgive someone you set that person free together with the emotional burden that you’ve been carrying with you. Apart from forgiving others make it a point to forgive yourself as well for all the wrong you may have done. Do not live in guilt. Just let go of it.

7) Gratitude: Be grateful for everything, not only for the big things happening in your life but even for the small stuff. Gratitude helps you get more of the things you are grateful for. Gratitude is the gateway to abundance. Every day make it a point to be thankful for at least 5 things. Think about them before you go to bed each night and truly feel the happiness that they bring to you.

Life is what we make of it. We must take charge of our happiness and it all begins by sowing the seeds of positivity in our minds. Do visit www.mariosequeira.org for a whole lot of interesting content and programs to create a happy version of yourself.

What Should You Do on Days When You Just Want to Give Up

DECEMBER 11, 2020

There are days in our lives where our inner voice will not cooperate with us at all. It will just say exactly the opposite of what we wish to hear. It happens to all of us including to you. The voice will sound demotivating, the voice may make all your plans fall flat, it may intimidate you and you may soon feel like giving up on what looked super interesting just a few days ago. These feelings are very common and happen to most of us. However, we shouldn’t give in to them.
So, what should you do on days when you just feel like giving up?

1. Recollect why you started: We all do things with a purpose. There is something that drives us. We join a gym to lose weight, we enrol in courses to better our skills, we take up jobs to earn a living, we decide to learn a musical instrument to pursue our love for music. We begin all of these things with a goal or a mission. We all take off very well with great starts but somewhere down the line as soon as we face some resistance and things don’t go according to plan we get discouraged and our inner voice tells us to give up and move on. As soon as you hear that voice, sit down and ask yourself why you started your mission in the first place. Is it worth giving up after all the effort? Picture yourself having the end desired result. This will help you win over the inner voice and continue with overcoming your challenges.

2. Learn to feel uncomfortable and experience the negative emotions: Life is not always a smooth run. No one, not even God promised you a bed of roses. We all have our ups and downs and we must not let them come in our way of achieving goals. Giving up due to a rough patch is no logical answer whatsoever. Make the necessary adjustments, keep your head high and take on life head on.

3. Count your achievements: There is no one on this planet who has not achieved a milestone. It may be big or small. Look back at all that you have achieved in life and this will form the much needed self-motivation to talk you out on giving up on your dreams.

4. Practice Gratitude: Being grateful for all the things in your life is one of the most important factors to keep you going all along. Every day think of 5 things that you are grateful for and make it a point to note them down. If you are grateful for a person you could go a step ahead and let them know about it. Gratitude cultivates the feeling of abundance which will get you going through life’s tough moments.

5. Connect with the people around: If you are faced with challenges the best way to solve them is by getting help from others. Help could come in any form. Perhaps a friend or a family member. Or even a professional Life Coach like me. If you feel you need professional support and guidance you could check out the link https://www.mariosequeira.org/coaching for my one-on-one mentoring programs. I also have a few FREE programs that could help you face and overcome just about any challenges that you could come across. Yes I repeat it you could get this absolutely FREE.

Life is what you make of it. Enjoy every stage of it. All of us have the potential to live an extraordinary life. Each of us is a temple of the Lord. It is possible for every person to manifest their deepest desires—if only you honour this; which is your inner divinity and then consciously choose to live from this point within.

6 ways to help you focus on what really matters in life.

OCTOBER 09, 2020

The great Socrates once exclaimed “An unexamined life is not worth living”. Life needs to be lived to its fullest potential. It isn’t uncommon for many of us at some point in our lives to wonder what life is all about and question what truly matters in life. An ideal way to live life is to utilize your time, energy, and resources in the best possible way. Here are 6 questions that will help you find your answers.

1) Who Am I Becoming? – As always the best way to start anything is with yourself. Ask yourself who you are. But remember you are not your religion, your race, your job, your marriage. You are is also not your past, present or future. You have to look deeper into yourself. Are you truly happy with the person that you are? Would you like to change any aspects of your life so that you see better results? Are you in control of life, or has life taken control of you? Write down your top 3 priorities in life on a piece of paper.

2) What am I grateful for? – We often find ourselves in a race to make more money, achieve more , find new relationships, change the way our bodies look and while we do all of this we often forget to be present in this moment called NOW. We take for granted all that we have. We forget to be grateful for what we have. In all of my years of mentoring and working with several of my clients, one thing I advocate the most is for everyone to practice gratitude. It is very simple, just sit down each day and make a list of 5 things that you are grateful for. The more grateful you are, the more of it you will get. That is how the law of attraction works. Download my free E- Book called Power your life with the Life’s Mastery Vision Script Program (LMVS) .

3) Is my lifestyle one that promotes physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing? – Your lifestyle is a major influencer of your success, health and wellbeing. Wellbeing has two dimensions - the physical and the spiritual and we need to take care of both. There is a deep connection between the body, the mind and the soul and when any of these are not at their best we just can’t live our lives properly. Good nutrition and exercise takes care of the body while prayer, meditation, yoga, chanting takes care of the mind and soul. It is important to live healthy as life is not only about accumulating wealth. It is also about being physically well and able to enjoy it.

4) Do I spend enough time with the people that matter to me? -Try and assess the amount of time you spend with family and friends. Are you doing it just because you are forced to? Do you consciously try and enjoy every moment spent with them? Are you too busy for the people who actually care about you? Remember that family is one aspect of life that has a level of permanence only next to yourself, other things may come and go but family always remains. Having a connected circle of friends and family is very good for your long term happiness.

5) Am I clinging on to hate and refusing to forgive people or situations in my life? - Are there situations in my past that are causing me to lose peace? Have I still not forgiven that colleague or friend who was bad to me? Every one of us encounters unpleasant events. But we need to forgive ourselves if we have wronged others and forgive others if they have wronged us in these situations. Forgiveness and letting go will bring you the much desired inner peace. Peace of Mind can be Yours if Only You Will Receive it. Download my FREE E-BOOK here to know more about peace.

6) Is there too much clutter in my life? – We accumulate so many material things in our lives over a period of time. Ask yourself if you really need all of them. Clothes, furniture, books, DVDs whatever is not being used for more than 2 years does not deserve to take space around you. Give it to someone who may need it. Similarly, get rid of emotional clutter. Do away with ill feelings that do no good to you in any way. Let go of fear, sadness, anxiety and stress and welcome love, peace, joy and abundance.

Take control of your life, live in the present and enjoy every bit of it while you do.

Stop Comparing Yourself to Other People: 5 Helpful Tips

OCTOBER 09, 2020

One of the most destructive habits to indulge in is to constantly compare your life with the life of others. Whether it is the house you live in, the job you go to, the car that you drive, the relationships that you are in, comparing any of these with others will create a whole lot of unnecessary heart burn for you. At a time when we are constantly bombarded by social media with so much information about the lives of others, it may be hard not to compare your lives with your Facebook or twitter friends. You must however stop or at least reduce the urge to compare. Here are 5 tips to help you out:

1) Focus on what you have: When we focus on the lives of others we begin to lose out on the important time that you could invest in yourself. By concentrating on things that we want to achieve in our lives we begin working towards our goals by investing time in them. This will take you away from the ‘poverty mind set’ which is one that only focuses on lack. Instead we can replace this with an abundant mind set. Once we focus on what we have we gradually lose interest in the lives of others.

2) Bring your awareness to the triggers: An important step to help you stop comparing yourself to others is to identify and become aware of what causes you to do this. One of the culprits that I mentioned earlier is social media. What else could trigger thoughts of comparison? Take some time out and think. Could it be a friend who constantly brags about his life? Or does it occur when you drive by an expensive neighbourhood? Make a list of all such stuff and consciously make an effort to avoid or limit your exposure to them.

3) The “Outsides” of people are not always the same as their “Insides”: I am reminded of a time when a couple would regularly post happy selfies of their romantic moments on social media only a few months later to update their relationship status as “Divorced”. Remember all that glitters is not gold and just because you judge people’s happiness by pictures of their fancy cars, houses and relationships; things may not always be the way they look. Go after the things that make you happy because you genuinely want it and don’t go after what makes others happy as that may not suite you.

4) Start comparing yourself to yourself: Instead of comparing yourself with others, compare yourself with yourself and measure the growth you have achieved towards achieving your goals. This habit will help you take steps to improve yourself rather than compare your life to others. Each one of us is unique and must run our own race.

5) Know that your situation is not the end of the movie: If you are upset with your current situation because someone else is in a better place than you, remember that it is not the end of the road for you. The other person might have been in your place at some point of time in his or her life and has now changed his life over. The same is possible with you. Life is what you make of it. We script our own life and can turn it around whenever we wish to. I transformed my life from being broke to now enjoying abundance. In fact, I have since found the master code to life and am happy to share it with you if you’d like to experience a beautiful transformational journey that will make you the master of your destiny. Try out my FREE program titled Power your life with the Life’s Mastery Vision Script Program (LMVS) .

Comparing ourselves to others will generate feelings of frustration, hurt, sadness, depression and anxiety. None of these bring us any good but only drain out our energy. Focussing on what others have makes us lose power and control over our lives. I urge you to take back power that you’ve given to other people, places or any situations. Focus on watering the green grass in your life and live happy.

Love more and fear less

AUGUST 28, 2020

We all have one thing in common and that is the need to feel loved. Love literally makes the world go round. The strongest of all our emotions is love and its opposite, fear is equally strong. While love uplifts humanity, fear restricts us and is a powerful source of negativity. Unfortunately, right from our childhood we are raised and controlled with fear by our parents and teachers who do so without realizing the life-long damage that they cause us. We are told not to talk to strangers. This may be good to protect us as children but how can the same rule be true when we are adults? We are conditioned to believe that some people are bad and some are good (based on color, race, caste or even religion). The bad thing about fear is it sells easily. Let’s take the Covid-19 pandemic scenario of today. The news channels are continuously televising primarily about the dark side of the virus. They have talk shows on the deaths caused by the virus, financial instability to countries and their citizens, job losses and all such fearful things. Watching the news all through the day has created a fear psychosis in millions who fail to see the recoveries of the sick, the healing of the planet due to lower levels of pollution, the quality time spent among family during the lockdowns and so on. It is of utmost importance that we learn to use our intelligence and rise above fear and choose love. Fear disconnects and isolates us, whereas love binds us all together for the greater good of life. Where ever you have a choice of being right or kind chose kindness over being right.

The following tips will help you love more and overcome fear:

1) Keep an open mind and heart: Stay open to new ideas and feelings. Do not block yourself with limiting beliefs from your childhood. Do not be quick to judge others, be open to begin a conversation with people who are different from you. Remember it was only a few years ago that people killed those who dared say that the earth was round.

2) Serve, serve and serve more: Service brings you instant happiness. Service is a product of love. Look out for people who will need your help. Go out that extra mile and bring happiness to everyone you meet.

3) Change your limiting beliefs: Take a piece of paper and write down your beliefs on family, friends, crime, terrorism, politics, corruption and so on. If you believe till now that the whole world is engulfed in negativity, then look out for the positives among these negatives. Just like a magnet has a north and a south pole, negativity has to be balanced by positivity. You must just look out for it. Look around you and you will find goodness; not everyone is a criminal, not every official is corrupt and not every politician is a liar. Look out for goodness and you will find it.

4) Keep a journal: At the end of each day record the highlights of your day. Look out for the things that helped you love more. Start a gratitude journal it will help you find love. Each day make it a point to be grateful for 3 things. They need not be big or grand things. Experiences like being grateful for the lovely trees that surround you will often be better than being grateful for some grandiose event. This practice will instantly help you love your life and the things in it.

5) Love yourself: The easiest way to love others is by loving yourself first. Do however note that when I say love yourself first I don’t mean that you should become either self-centered or selfish! You can’t give from an empty cup. The great master that traversed Israel centuries ago said ‘Love your neighbor as you would love yourself. You must start by loving yourself. Appreciate yourself, speak positively about yourself. Make yourself your number one priority. If you love yourself you will be able to radiate love.

The importance of a Life Coach?

AUGUST 08, 2020

Almost all successful people in whichever part of the world have or have had a Coach or a Mentor who has helped them get to where they are.

Remember that life is as difficult and complicated for highly successful people as it is for you. Each of us at our own level is challenged by life’s complexities. Everyone feels the pressure of obligation, anxiety and stress - the daily wage worker to earn a couple of dollars is stressed out and anxious lest he lose his daily wage while the millionaire has a similar amount of stress and anxiety to earn a few million and the billionaire faces almost the same amount of stress lest he lose a few billions! We may decide to face it all and walk through life, but somewhere along the way our personal lives decline, our health deteriorates, we feel a lack of energy. This happens most of all because figuratively speaking we have been trying to reinvent the wheel. If instead of walking a lonely path we take the help of someone who has already been down a similar path things suddenly become very simple and stress free. The experienced coach or mentor already knows of the pitfalls on the road ahead and is in a good position to advise you on how to circumvent them. A Coach or Mentor can make life much easier for you while at the same time guiding you to convert your annual income into your monthly income.

By the way, who is Life Coach? Life coaches are highly trained experienced leaders whose mission it is to guide others like you to success. They are individuals who have systems to identify which areas of your life are not working well for you and also why they aren’t working well for you. Once you understand the reasons you are being held back it becomes easy to find a solution to move forward. It is either with their training or through their personal life’s experiences that they are able to transform lives and guide individuals to great success. Just as a basketball coach will help you learn to dribble and shoot baskets better, so also a life coach helps you do all the important things in your life in a better way. What are the instances that necessitate a Life Coach?

1) You find it difficult to set and achieve goals: Life coaches can help you define your goals and guide you find inspiring reasons for you to stick to them. Coaches find a way to empower and energize you to chase your dreams.

2) Limiting beliefs hold you back: Life coaches help you identify and then remove the mental blocks and limiting beliefs that come between you and imminent success. These mental blocks need to be identified and worked upon and coaches will do just that for you. For example, if you have been told that you are useless from the time you were a child, you’d have grown thinking that you are useless. You would now continue to tell yourself that you are useless and this forms a big block in your life that will deprive you of success. Coaches help you slowly dissolve such blocks and move forward in life.it.

3) Anxiety And Stress do not seem to leave you: Life can be hard at times. If you find that your life has become stressful and you are repeatedly feeling anxious about almost everything, it is time you take the services of a Life Coach. Life Coaches will help you get a hold of your emotions and teach you ways to avoid stress and find peace.

4) The enthusiasm in life that you once had has disappeared: We may lose interest and passion in life for various reasons. The zeal with which we used to work may be lost, the spark in our relationships may have disappeared, the healthy bodies in which we once lived may be prone to repeated diseases. You need someone to reverse all of this and help you get through these tough situations. The help can come from life coaches who have mastered the art of tackling such problems in the course of their own lives.

5) Your friends and family do not support you: The worst feeling in the world is to feel alone. Very often the people we count on for help are not there for us primarily because they are not equipped either to understand our situation or to give us solutions to our problems. In such situations Life Coaches stand by you no matter what and help you meet your goals. Although having a Life Coach costs you money, it is worth every penny. It should be seen as an investment worth its weight in gold.

My life’s experiences together with my NLP training have gone a long way in making me the successful Life Coach I am today. I have overcome many obstacles in life. I was a chain smoker who was absolutely obese at 117 kilos and financially almost went bankrupt. Having more than reversed all of this I felt a shift occur in my thinking that led me to explore the psychological and spiritual aspects of the human experience. I now spend much of my time in a mentoring program that I’ve started to help others make their dreams come true.

Break away from your habit of procrastination with these 5 steps.

OCTOBER 09, 2020

How often do you find yourself putting off a task that needs to be done on priority and instead doing something else? Procrastination is one of the major success blocks that affect productivity in life. To varying degrees, all of us procrastinate. The consequences of this are felt across all aspects of our lives for example leaving office late due to the inability to complete tasks for the day, running late for meetings and engagements in the day because you couldn’t get ready in time, your car breaks down since you kept delaying to fix that weird noise you were hearing in the engine over the last two weeks, you are advised bed rest for a month since you ignored the initial back pain and unnecessarily postponing your doctor’s appointment.
If procrastination is working against you and you’d like to change things around, here are 5 ways by which you could do it:

1) Plan, Plan & Plan More: Yes, there is nothing better than planning ahead to get most of your tasks successfully completed. A tip that works best is to plan your next day before going to bed. That way you wake up with a mind that may already have soime solutions ready for you and do not consume too much of energy spending your first few hours of the morning in planning. You get to start the day with a plan that is already formulated the previous night and you can begin to take action immediately. So begin to take out that pen and notepad and start planning.

2) Take a decision to just begin: We often delay getting things done because we are waiting for the right moment or the right answer. For example we delay responding to emails because we may not know what to say at that moment. However, I’d suggest getting started with things immediately even if you take time to think what to say; even the mere process of thinking is a step towards working on that task in itself.

3) De-Clutter and get organized: Remember to clear up all the unnecessary clutter that is lying around you forming energy blocks. Let’s say you have a messy desk, or your office is full of things that you do not need, it could become a magnet of procrastination. It is only human to feel negative towards doing a task when you see a mess around you. Get organized, arrange your desk, organize your files in the order they need to be worked on, keep your surroundings clean and neat, by doing this you will instantly attract positive vibes which will get you going with tasks immediately.

4) Set reminders and use alarms: Let’s assume you have several tasks that you need to get done. It is obvious that you will not be able to complete them all at once. Some of your tasks may need to be done on specific days and at specific times. Let’s say you have an appointment with your lawyer for an ongoing litigation 2 days from now, for which he has asked you to keep some documents ready. You may have made a note of it in your diary, but how often have you forgotten it when the time has arrived? With the use of alarms and reminders it is less likely that you’ll forget to attend the meeting or work on things to prepare for it.

5) Reward yourself on accomplishments: It may sound crazy but you could motivate yourself to complete a task by deciding on a reward for yourself upon its completion. Rewards can be something small like a snack or a movie or even a day at the massage parlor. This will actually motivate you to finish the task at the earliest so that you can enjoy your reward.

In my experience with coaching clients I have managed to help them tackle procrastination very effectively by taking a few simple steps. Of course procrastination is just one of the blocks to success there are others that you need to get rid of. I am here to help if you need to eliminate your limiting blocks in life.

You’ve got to learn to love yourself first! Only then can you be truly happy!

AUGUST 08, 2020

This is not about making you either selfish or self centered.
Is it all about hot showers, pool side breakfasts, reading a favorite book while sipping on hot coffee or a day at the spa? These are good ways to which we pamper yourself and are often needed but pampering ourselves is only one small aspect of this thing I call “self love” Self- love is far more exciting and meaningful. Indeed self Love is profound and even enlightening!
Self-love begins with the thought of “I am enough”. It is waking up in the morning with a heart that over flows with gratitude for all that you have been blessed with. These blessings need not be big or great ones that have to be applauded by all and sundry. Indeed they can be as miniscule as appreciating a flower growing in your garden or even the freshness of the air that you breath. It is in accepting who you are with all your faults, strengths and assets. It is not about glossing over your faults but about being grateful for the good in your life while you go about correcting all that is wrong with it. Is it easy to love oneself? No..!! On the contrary most of us have been conditioned to dislike ourselves so much that loving ourselves can be quite difficult. It is a process that needs to be mastered.
If you have been repeatedly derided by your parents or companions that you are worthless or weak, you will grow up thinking it to be true. The reality may be just the opposite of what you have been conditioned to about yourself. My clients tell me, that it is extremely difficult for them to even think of loving themselves especially when they believe that they are not really good at anything worthwhile. Interestingly, I tell them that if they start loving themselves for who they are then soon they will stop believing that they are good for nothing.
The big question is how do we learn to love ourselves? For some the answer is easy and straightforward but for others…….
The answer to this lies in self-acceptance. We first need to accept ourselves for who we are ( good-bad, handsome/beautiful or ugly, Smart or dumb). The great teacher from Jerusalem thought us ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself’. But you cant give what you don’t have so if you don’t have love within you how can you love someone else? We need to remove all the barriers in our life which prevent us from self-loving. Loving yourself is the key to happiness and peace. Let me help you with a few very basic and simple ways to do this:

1) Nourish yourself: You can begin with being mindful of the things that you do to your body. Start your days with nourishing food that will help you have a healthy body and mind, both of which need to work well for yourself. Make the way you feed yourself is a reflection of how much you love your body.

2) Start a gratitude journal: Make it a point to note down 5 things that you are grateful for in a day and you’ll immediately begin to start thinking positive. Journaling will soon put you into an attitude of gratitude. Give thanks for things that happen to you each day, for the people that you meet and do not forget to include yourself as well.

3) Express yourself: While work and office life is very essential, we must learn to unwind and express ourselves by doing things that we enjoy like art, music, sports, poetry, writing and so on. Doing such things makes us feel alive and happy with ourselves. It often happens that we lose touch with things that used to keep us happy, only because we get caught up with societal pressure, daily chores, monotonous work routines all of which suck the happiness from us. Go get yourself to think of what makes you happy and begin to do it immediately.

4) Explore your spirituality: No matter what religion you believe in, always remember it is faith that is the base for self-love. Believing in God, or the universal intelligence or the Great Architect of the Universe will take you on a journey of learning things about yourself as well as make you appreciate yourself for being an almost perfect creation.

Loving yourself adds color to your life. Keep doing good and thinking well about yourself. My program on peace is based in self-love. Why don’t you try out the FREE program today?

How to promote a positive mindset if you’ve lost your job during the coronavirus pandemic

JUNE 29, 2020

Becoming unemployed can be a very stressful event in one’s life, more so now when stress is already at a high due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The corona virus is something beyond our control, but how we react to it is entirely in our hands. The virus being a worldwide problem has shaken the economy and the chances of getting a new job anytime soon are slim. Adding to these fears is the fear of falling sick, the anxiety of not being able to provide for your family. All this stress could actually affect your mental balance making coping difficult.

Well, let me tell you something. You still have many things to be grateful for. By being grateful you will keep yourself in a positive vibration and ready to receive any relief that the universe is likely to send your way. You should be grateful for your good health- you have got struck down with Covid the way so many have. Be grateful that you have a roof over your head. During the lockdowns there have been so many that had to search for shelters because they had no home to go to. Think of all those that have been hungry through the last few days, weeks and months due to the terrible situation. There is yet another important reason that you should consider- you are alive. Your life is the greatest gift. Anxiety and stress are a sign of life. Much like a boxer who has been knocked down- he is out only as long as he doesn’t rise to continue the fight. We humans are resilient beings with an innate ability to bounce back. Take a break, lick your wounds and then look out for what your destiny is calling you to do. Check out the Life’s Mastery Vision Script Program.

I know how it has helped so many I pray it will help you too. This could be just a bend in your life opening up wonderful vistas for a new and glorious life ahead.

Here are few tips to keep a positive mind set in the worst of your situations:

• Shower yourself with kindness
  You have not lost your job because you were bad at your work. It’s not like you’ve failed at any responsibility assigned to you. Also, you are not the only person that this has happened to. You are much more than your job; remember that unemployment is something temporary.

• Stay connected with family, friends, colleagues and professionals.
  Be open to new ideas. If you have an open mind you may be surprised with what you can do with your new found free time. One must recognise the need for social connection in these times. Communicating with people not only helps in receiving comfort and sympathy, but more importantly keeps your mind occupied. There is no harm in indulging a little extra in the virtual world for communicating on platforms like Zoom, Skype, Facebook and Instagram. If possible join groups and talk to people who are in a similar position to yours. If you’d like to get your hands on some serious mentoring that brings out your hidden gems to the surface you could even consider a One-On-One Mentoring journey with me.

• Exercise regularly
  It is very essential to stay fit during this pandemic. Exercise helps you stay fit physically and this will help you build your immunity besides also fighting the coronavirus. Exercise will keep you mentally strong and reduce the levels of stress and anxiety that knocks on your mind especially during these days in isolation. If you’d like to take it a step further you can be a part of my fitness program you are the sculptor of your life .

• Look for re-skilling areas
  Although there might be a freeze on jobs in many companies, there are several other companies that will be looking at hiring people with specific skill sets sometime soon. Identify all the skill sets that you possess and either look at getting better at them or consider learning something new. The internet is filled with online courses that will be great resources for your professional career.

It is very important to be focused during these times. Take care of yourself mentally and physically during this pandemic. Strongly affirm to yourself that you will find a way to stay positive through all of this.

I assure you that if you hang in there and take advantage of all the courses ( free or paid) available to you, you will bounce back stronger than ever before. 5 years down the road and you could be grateful that you lost your job to Covid! But you must work on yourself to get the great results you are capable of getting.

If you are not willing to learn no one can help you but if you are willing, eager and determined to learn no one can stop you!

Rise above today’s Covid Scenario with these life hacks designed by Mario Sequeira.

JUNE 22, 2020

Not everything is permanent. Corona Virus is not here to stay forever. There is a lot to be concerned about but nothing to be afraid of! Uncertainties associated with the pandemic will rattle you. This is only natural. It is human. As soon as you become aware that you are being rattled stand-up and dust yourself clear of all fear. You are not alone. You are an integral part of the universe and well - connected all over- not only to the human race but more importantly to the omnipotent too.

Now if you are connected to the omnipotent, who can come in your way? But the fundamental truth is that you need to be convinced of this connection first!

Bask in the sunshine and soon you will stop seeing any shadows. Powerful positive attitudes will carry you through these tough times. Sit alone and spend time with yourself. You will find all the strength, energy and motivation right within you. If you are looking out for peace, calm and then even prosperity you could refer to my program Peace of Mind can be Yours if Only You Will Receive it.

A major take away from the Covid-19 pandemic, is that we need to take care of our bodies. Several Covid recoveries have been attributed to stronger immune systems, positive mind-sets and healthy bodies. If you are one of the lucky ones not to have contracted the sickness, it is best you take this opportunity to get healthy and live happy with my program you are the sculptor of your life. It would be quite straight forward if all you had to do was check your diet and exercise but you also have to check your mind and keep it as far as possible in a positive vibration.

As lockdowns are slackened and as we begin to come to terms with the beginnings of our new post Covid life, let us remember that for many of us, it may mean starting off afresh with work or business goals. ‘Life post Covid’ will get challenging. But there is only one place in the world where we can have complete peace and that is in the cemetery. Challenge is an indication of life. So be happy that you have a challenge at hand. There are so many that haven’t been as lucky as you are. You are not alone; most around you need that extra hand that will take them through. Dreams need not be given up. Maybe you now have the time to dream bigger and better. Don’t get taken in by this passing storm. This could be your time to focus on laying the foundations of making your dreams come true. One–on-One coaching with Mario will help you uncover YOU.

You’ve got to learn to love yourself first! Only then can you be truly happy!
