5 Tips to Help You Stay in the Present Moment.

APRIL 25, 2021

...

The best place to be in is always the present moment. Everything in reality happens there and there only. The rest is thoughts and imagination. The thoughts we have of our past and our imagination about our future. Most of us spend way too much time thinking about the past and/or imagining the future. Here are 5 tips to help you stay in the present:

1) Focus on one thing at a time: Even though you may think differently the human being was never meant to multi task. When we single task you will observe that you can achieve much more, that is because we only live in the present moment. Avoid multi-tasking, do not use your smart phone while at work or watch TV at the same time. Make a checklist of things to do if you have multiple tasks lined up, but ensure to do them one at a time.

2) Take it slow: As you begin your day do not start in a hurry, keep a slow pace. Doing things at a slower pace will help you stay in the present. Whether it is having breakfast, doing your exercise or your work, do not rush into it.

3) Say to yourself: now I am…: As you go through your day check yourself and see if you are aware of the present moment. When washing your hands for example You could say to yourself “Now I am washing my hands”. This habit prevents us from drifting away from the present to the future or the past. Keep telling yourself this when you feel you are fading away in time.

4) Lessen the things that enter your mind early in the day: Do not do things like checking your email, Facebook or websites early in the day. If you do this you will crowd your mind with clutter that will not let you be in the present. Avoiding these things makes the mind lighter and helps it stay in the moment.

5) Use the phrase No-No: It is natural for us to drift away several times in a day. Whenever you see yourself drifting away make sure to call yourself back to the present. After that focus on your breath and bring your attention to the present.

You will find you peace when you are in the present. I have worked on a simple program for you to attain peace of mind. You cannot force peace to come to you. You can’t pressurize it. If you aren’t feeling it you aren’t calling it and you aren’t going to have it! Did you know that, life is so much connected with acting. Why do you think a handful of actors win so many Grammy Awards? It is because they get so into their roles that they get their fans to believe they are really into their roles. Your unhappiness could simply be because you think your life isn’t happening the way you want it to. You forget that if all you asked for arrived at your doorstep instantly and all together you would be overwhelmed and would not know what to do with it all!

You are Human and need not be perfect

APRIL 25, 2021

...

Being human implies that we are imperfect and will fail from time to time. Failure need not always be negative; it can be your best guide in life. It is better to fail than to not try at all. Humanity must never die, do not program yourself to be machine. Robots just lack emotion. Be whoever you are; just be yourself.

1) Set your own bar: Live life on your own terms not based on what others think it should be. You will never enjoy such a shallow life. Instead be your own boss, decide what makes you happy and go for it. You may do well or you may not but what is important is that you are living your life on your terms. People may set the bar very high for you, do not pay heed; do as you wish any which way.

2) Surround yourself with human standards: Try and get the world to be more supportive of you, and plan your steps accordingly. Give up the things that make you feel worse like sob stories, destructive stuff on social media, watching the news several times a day and so on. Replace them with healthy podcasts and books. Fill your life with optimism and motivation. Spend more time around people that matter to you, ditch the ones that have a negative impact on your life.

3) Communicate with emotion: Like I said earlier we are not machines. We have emotion and this is something that needs to be showcased. When you communicate with someone make sure you do so by adding every pleasant emotion that you have within yourself. Be good natured to all and learn to love and respect people.

I am on a mission of awakening the need of self-growth and development one soul at a time. I’ve discovered a widespread need for the principles of self-discovery and personal growth, and sought to bring these ideas to a wider audience.

My main message is that 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 they honor this; which is their inner divinity and then consciously choose to live from this point within.

Stop doing these 5 things and live a happier life

APRIL 25, 2021

...

Stop doing the following 5 things and live a happier life, replace them with something better in order to make your life happier.

1) Stop overthinking: Overthinking leads to an analysis paralysis, which leads to wasting of a lot of time in just thinking, fretting and then even procrastinating about something that needs to be done immediately. Instead of overthinking you could set up short deadlines. Shorter deadlines will help you finish your work sooner and more efficiently. If you can’t think straight in certain situations take a break and go back to thinking with a clear mind.

2) Stop getting over-busy: We often take on our selves more than we need to handle. We fill up our plate with more than what we can eat. Stop doing needless things. When you feel overwhelmed with tasks, take a small break and breathe. Then figure out what it is that you really need to get done and start working on that task immediately.

3) Do not complicate relationships: Your relationships are very important to you. Do not complicate them. Do not put words in your partner’s mouth or assume things, this leads to confrontation. Instead if there are any issues faced, sit down with your partner directly and sort them out. Do not be rude or dramatic.

4) Allow distractions: Try and turn off all the things that get in the way of your life making it more complicated. Devote focused attention on one task at a time. When working on a project don’t look at your emails. Turn off all social media sites.

5) Worrying about what others think: One of the worst things you can do to yourself is worry about what others think of you. Remember that your life belongs only to you and no one has a say as to how you should live it. Living by the opinions of others will have you lead a very complex and unsatisfactory life. You will be able to do very little to bring yourself joy. BE THE MASTER OF YOUR DESTINY.

5 ways to Stop Catastrophizing

JUN 19, 2021

...

The habit of catastrophizing is very dangerous especially when it becomes a habit. It leaves us feeling panicky, fearful, and anxious, about almost all that is negative to any situation that we presume is going to turn out to be a disaster. For example if you have to deliver a speech the tomorrow, today itself you start panicking and your mind begins telling you that you are going to get stuck mid-way, you’ll have a wardrobe malfunction, the audience is going to boo you and so on. So how do you stop thinking this way?

1) Say stop to your inner critic: It is your inner critic that gets a voice to tell you to imagine the worst scenarios. You need to shut down that inner critic and silence its voice before it gets the better of you. You need to take charge. If needed look yourself in the mirror eye to eye and tell it to go away.

2) Take a look at the past: Reflect and think of how many times the catastrophic situations that you’ve imagined actually came true. You will realize it almost never was true. Remind yourself of this fact and calm yourself down.

3) Focus on your breathing: Go to a quiet room for 2 minutes. Do nothing but breathe deeply and bring your focus to your breath. This will calm you and bring your focus on the present instead of the catastrophic events that are happening inside your head.

4) Talk it through: Find a friend, a colleague, a spouse or an expert like a life coach to talk about your situation. Nothing works better than letting out what bothers you. I can help you Coaching. With proper guidance you can immediately stop feeling like this.

5) Reduce the things that make you feel this way: Certain things like the television, social media or forums on different websites make you feel catastrophic. Avoid watching these.

Practice these points in the coming days in order to build a healthy environment for yourself and for your situations.

6 Thoughts that will help you not take things very personally

MARCH 29, 2021

...

A common problem that brings down our self-esteem is when we begin to take things personally. I don’t mean to tell you to get thick skinned because that is not always good but you must find a way of knowing that all that happens is not always within your control. But not taking things personally is not always the easiest thing to do. I’d like to share a few ways by which it will be possible for you to do this.

1) Breathe: When faced with criticism just go to a quiet place, close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Focus on your breaths for as long as you can but at least 2 minutes. This will help you to keep your mind calm. It creates a space between you and what has happened.

2) Get Clarification: Do not jump to conclusions with what you have heard someone say to you. This may make you feel angry or hurt. Instead ask relevant questions that will clarify what the person meant. You can tell the person how you felt when you heard him or her say those words to you.

3) Everything is not about you: It is easy to fall in the trap and think that everything said applies to you. But it may be the case that the other person was actually having a bad day, and so they vented out their frustrations on you.

4) Talk it out: When something said to you is disliked by you, there is not point in begining to sulk. Try and stop this immediately by finding someone to talk to. It maybe a colleague, a spouse, a friend or a Life Coach like me.

5) What can you learn from this: Ask yourself what is in it for you to learn and improve on in this situation? You may find that there are a few things you can improve on and move forward. Do not get stuck in the situation instead try and go forward from it by making it a learning experience.

6) Improve your self esteem: Find ways to improve your self esteem. Learn to love yourself and be confident. Do not let the opinions of others affect you. Treat everyone equally and with love. Love yourself equally too. These things will go a long way in building your self esteem.

Practical Ways to Reduce and Calm Your Anxiety

MARCH 29, 2021

...

Norman Vincent Peale so aptly said that there is only one place in the world where there is no anxiety or stress and that place is 6 feet below ground in the cemetery! All of us face anxious moments during some time or the other. Our bodies are geared up to face stress. The problem is our bodies cannot cope with it when it gets chronic! For some stress and the resultant anxiety is a chronic disorder that they are battling every single day. The victim’s legs begin to shiver, hands tremble, the mouth dries up, palms begin to sweat and so on. Various events can trigger these symptoms. Below are simple hacks that will help you battle anxiety.

1) Breathe: Find a quiet place and sit down. Close your eyes and take several deep breaths with long releases. Focus on your breath continuously for 2 minutes. Watch as the process calms your body down immediately.

2) Right knowledge: Find ways to gather the right information. Research about what makes you nervous. Research the ways to better yourself and overcome cause of the anxious moments faced. If possible find people who can help to talk to.

3) Quick workout: Do some body weight training or lift weights until you break a sweat for about half an hour. This releases the tension and makes the body and mind stronger. You could also go for a run or a swim or cycling.

4) Distract your mind: Try and focus on something else as soon as you feel anxious. Try and distract your mind immediately. You could watch a little bit of TV or listen to upbeat music. Do not let the negative thoughts linger, replace them with something positive.

5) Eat healthy: Your anxiety will drain your body; hence it is important to have healthy food during these times. Leafy vegetables, nutritious fruits and dry fruits are great for your body. Do not skip meals.

6) Ask your worries a set of questions: Ask yourself how often have I made a big deal of a small situation. Am I still affected by the negative things that happened to me a few weeks back? Then remind yourself that this too shall pass.

7) Experience the feeling: Let the negative feeling enter in. You need to experience it to let it go. Running away from it will make it come to you in all directions. So experience it and heal yourself by letting it go out.

8) Be in the present: As much as possible try and stay in the present moment do not let your mind wander in the past or to the future. If you drift away concentrate on your breath or that what is before you for 2 minutes. Take courage and face your fears. Your anxiety is not permanent. You can fight it whenever you want; everything is in your hands.

Quick Ways to Make Someone Happy Today

MARCH 29, 2021

...

The easiest way to get happy is by making someone else happy. Start today by making others happy. Don’t you immediately feel happy when you see someone’s face light up because of what you just said? It gives you a good feeling to know that you have done something good and the law of karma will work thereby giving you back more of what you have just given. Ofcourse its never good to give only to receive but the fact is that whatever we give out comes back to us many folds.

So how do we make someone happier?

1) Compliment sincerely: Many positive things are always left unsaid. Try and make a conscious effort to compliment someone when you see something good in them. It might be a new haircut, a new shirt, a tough task completed and so on.

2) Give way to others while driving: You’ll definitely make someone who is late to work happy if you just move to the side and let him or her overtake you.

3) Hold the door for someone: Hold the door open for someone as they pass by. It will make the other person feel good.

4) Be grateful and express it: Express gratitude to people who may not expect it. Examples are your maid, the janitor, your colleague and so on. Just be thankful for all the things they do in your life each day.

5) Encourage someone: Encouraging someone will go a long way in making them happy. There are loads of people who lack self-esteem and all they may need are a few encouraging words from us.

6) Tell jokes: If you have a humorous side to you, go ahead share some jokes and get people laughing.

7) Give hugs: Hug your spouse or a friend or a relative. So many of us are desperately in need of a hug to feel better and if you are going to do it, you are going to spread happiness.

8) Bring something to eat during breaks: Bring something nice for everyone to eat during your coffee breaks. It will put a smile on a lot of faces.

9) Run an errand for someone: Help someone out by running an errand for them, they will feel so grateful for getting some help along their way.

10) Spread energy: Be that ball of energy in a room. Light it up with your presence and spread positivity and happiness throughout.

What To Do When You Think Life Sucks

MARCH 29, 2021

...

Life in many ways is like the waves. Sometime up and sometimes down. It is never a straight line. It is good that life is this way because even if today is a bad day one can take it for granted that bad days cant last forever and just like the wave they have to be followed by good days! After a series of setbacks, bad luck and failures, one may not feel okay with life at all. We’ve all had our share of bad days. What can we do when things like this happen to us?

1) Remember it is okay to get frustrated but you can’t let your frustrations get the better of you: Frustration is a natural emotion; you must learn to handle it. Focus on your breathing, every time you get frustrated breathe deep and watch your breath it will bring you back to the present moment. Focus on the material things around you for 2 mins. The television, the food on the table, the snow outside and so on.

2) Be grateful for the simplest of things: Remind yourself, of 3 simple things that you can be grateful for. Make a note of all the answers that come to your mind. Eg: A roof on my head, 3 meals a day, the internet, your job and so on. Practice this habit every single day.

3) Frustration is temporary: Remember just like the seasons or the tide of the ocean frustration is also non-permanent. Tomorrow is always a new day and with it always comes with new beginnings.

4) Check on the good things in life: Focus on what good is going on in your life. Big or small, just note the good. Look back at all that is working positively in your life. That itself will make your frustrations feel trivial.

5) Let it out: Do not bottle up your frustrations. You could begin getting nightmares of the same and it could even eat you up from within. Instead find a friend, a confidante or a life coach to help you through this. I too will be happy to help you if you want me to. Checkout coaching

6) Work it out: Get moving. Go for a workout : bodyweight or weight training. Take a walk, do yoga or swim a bit. Do anything that gets your heart pumping. Exercise helps dissolve stress.

7) What did I learn from this? : Life is a great teacher; there is something we must learn from your frustrations and inconveniences. There is a lesson to be learnt from everything. Look out for mistakes that brought you to this situation and avoid them in the future.

6 Ways to Cultivate a Mindset of Abundance!

MARCH 29, 2021

...

Do you want to get the most out of life? Tons of money, better health, stronger relationships, more holidays and so on. Its simple and indeed quite easy if only you will follow the following steps and try with consistency to maintain what I will be teaching you. If you don’t have abundance and need to figure out where you will be getting your money to payback a loan then you have a problem because you are thinking from a scarcity mindset. You must switch gears and begin building an abundance mindset. The mindset of scarcity will always hold you back and never let you progress. I am happy to tell you that with time and consistent and conscious thinking you can get away from the scarcity mindset. Here are a few points that can help you:

1) Give things away: If you can help someone by donating them your extra stuff then go ahead and do it. By doing this you will be giving yourself a signal that you have more than enough for yourself and you will begin to feel abundant. So do away with excess stuff be it food or articles or even money if you would like to. But be prudent when you do this as all is to be done in moderation only.

2) Be intentional in enjoying what you have: Be grateful for all that you have and enjoy, maintain a gratitude journal and write down things that you are grateful for each day. Doing this will keep you grounded and make you feel abundant.

3) Praise and compliment others: When others do well be the first to compliment and praise them. Celebrate with them; make them know how you feel about them. When you do so you make room for abundance and it shows that your praise and compliments for them come from a place of abundance within you.

4) Set your own goals: Go by your own book; do not copy the lives of others. Your life is unique. Be original and unique in your ways. Run your own race, think about all that brings you joy and go after it.

5) Act like you already have what you want: Always act like what you want to see happen. If you want to be more productive at work then get in early and concentrate more during your time there. If you want to be calmer, adopt practices like yoga and deliberately make sure you are more peaceful and at ease.

6) Believe that you deserve the best: Do not indulge in negative self-talk. Tell yourself that you are smart and capable of achieving anything that you want. Good things will then automatically follow you.

I Mario Sequeira, am on a mission of awakening the need of self-growth and development One soul at a time. I’d like to see everyone adopt the abundance mindset. Each of us is a temple of the Lord. It is possible for every person to manifest their deepest desires—if only they honor this; which is their inner divinity and then consciously choose to live from this point within.

How to Overcome Victim Thinking

JUN 19, 2021

...

When things do not go well it is natural to feel pain. The question is what do you do after you feel the pain? Do you see yourself as a victim? Do you feel powerless? Do you feel that the whole world has turned against you? This is definitely not a good place to be in and you must pull yourself out of the situation ASAP. You should stop thinking of yourself as a victim as that type of thinking at the very least is disempowering. Instead look at yourself as a rising fallen boxer.

How do you do this?

1) Don’t wait for help. It may never come: Trust me when you are down very few will come around to help you. Many will come by only to listen and ‘enjoy’ the story but not to help. Some will even want to make sure that you are gone down under. So don’t wait for anyone to help. It is your mess and you must clean it up. If however people do appear to help then capitalise on them while they last.

2) What are the long term consequences of such a feeling? : Remind yourself that victim feelings will hold you back from doing what you want. Think of how it will affect all your important relationships. Think of how it will affect your own relationship with yourself. Realise how destructive this is going to be for your life if you don’t make a special valiant effort to get things back under control.

3) Replace the victim thinking with something helpful: Replace negative thoughts with positive ones. Practice gratitude; be grateful for all the good things that happen to you in a day. Have a gratitude diary and make a note of them. Ask yourself what is the one thing you can learn from the situation and work towards improving yourself in that aspect. Forgive others if they have hurt you, forgiving others does more good for you than for others. Release yourself from all of the hate and anger that is built up inside of you.

If you still feel like a victim despite all of this I suggest you get in touch with me for my one on one mentoring. You will find details at Coaching. Unless you start you will never know. One–on-One coaching with Mario will help you uncover YOU. We are often held back by our limiting beliefs and a lack of confidence. Mario will shine a light on your hidden gems and bring them to the surface. Life for you will be magical. He will first teach you to dream and then will transform, empower and enable you to crystalize into reality those very dreams that you dreamt.

Affirmations for building self confidence

FEBRUARY 25, 2021

...

It is very important for all of us to be able to trust ourselves. Without that we will be lost and overcome by self-doubt. Do you lose confidence in yourself? If one or two things do not go as planned in your life do you begin to think of yourself as a failure? You can put an end to this by following me…….

How do you do this?

1) When feeling lost: The fact is that we live in a perfect universe where there are no coincidences. Once you accept that you need to remind yourself that “Whatever is happening in your life right now is divinely guided.” Nothing is happens by chance, it is all a part of a greater plan. You may not always know what is happening, but know that you are growing and evolving one step at a time. Always remain open to receiving from this abundant world.

2) When feeling alone: If you accept that there is a God above (call him by any name or gender) then you must know that you are not alone. Remind yourself -“Everything maybe against me, but I am not alone since the energy of the universe surrounds me and takes me to my purpose in life. Since I have the power of love within and around me, I can never be alone. The universe loves me”.

3) When facing a challenge or difficult time: Repeat to yourself-“Bad things happening to me are out of my control. However through all the tough times I know that everything will be okay in the end. I need to slow down, breathe deeply and relax. Since I am not alone in this universe my soul will be able to take on whatever the world throws at me”.

4) When the world says something different from what your heart feels: The feelings that you feel within are like a barometer. They indicate to you if something is right or wrong for you. They are not just random. When in doubt go with your gut feel.

5) When you need to put in your best in a situation here is an affirmation: “I will be the greatest version of myself. My character, my kindness need to be at their best. My soul will lead me to be at my best. My energy embraces growth. I will be able to come up with solutions to all that is before me”.

6) When dealing with anxiety say: “This situation will not last forever, it too shall pass. I choose to disengage with them. I will embrace my true lovable and capable self. I am calm, steady and focussed on what’s best for me”.

7) When you feel stuck repeat to yourself: “When I feel confused, I will not ponder much on it, instead I will look out for the right direction. My soul will lead me on. I will look at my life with a clear and calm heart. I am always guided by the universe. The universe constantly talks to me and shows me the way”.

You got to trust yourself. You need to become the best version of yourself and script the life of your dreams. Try out my FREE program Power your life with the Life’s Mastery Vision Script Program (LMVS). 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.

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.

A 2 minute Rule to Bring Positive Changes to Your Life.

JANUARY 11, 2021

...

Making positive changes in one’s life can take a lot of effort and trouble and so we tend to put the very idea of change off for another time and date.Below I bring to you a simple 2 minute rule life hack that can change your life forever. Spend only 2 minutes of your day everyday doing one or all of the following:

1) Take 2 minutes to work on your most important task: As soon as you are ready to start your day choose that most important task that stands before you and begin working on it for 2 minutes. It is hard to start working on difficult tasks but once you do, you can finish it off quickly. You will see that you will continue to work on the task immediately after your 2 minutes are over.

2) Take 2 minutes to appreciate your day: At the end of each day, take 2 minutes to review your day. More importantly appreciate yourself for all the things that went right. Be grateful for all that happened to you through your day.

3) When stressed take 2 minutes to do some deep breathing: You will surely have bouts of stress and anxiety as you get through your day. As soon as you feel it, sit down somewhere quiet and breathe deeply. About 10 deep breaths of fresh air will do the trick. This will help calm you down.

4) Take 2 minutes to remind yourself not to judge anyone: Of the several people we meet through the day some will bring pleasant experiences, while others not so pleasant ones. Do not judge the ones that do not bring you any good. You may never know their story.

5) Take 2 minutes to compliment others: All through your day you are likely to witness so much of good in others. Do not keep it to yourself, instead compliment them. Tell them how good they look, or how nice their dress looks on them, or their new haircut. Talk about it all. The happier you make others feel, the happier you will feel.

6) Take 2 minutes to delve into others lives: Develop a genuine curiosity for the things others do. Sit with them, listen to their ideas, empathize with them and offer help whenever you can.

7) Take 2 minutes to spoil yourself: Treat yourself on your little achievements. If you accomplish something go out and reward yourself. Do something that makes you happy. Small self-rewards keep us motivated.

I’d like to see you change your life and live it to the fullest. I’m on a mission of awakening the need of self-growth and development one soul at a time. 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 they honor this; which is their inner divinity and then consciously choose to live from that point within.

5 Ways to Find Inspiration in Your Daily Life

DECEMBER 11, 2020

...

Many clients of mine have expressed to me that getting through life each day can quite often be very discouraging and even depressing. Life is not always encouraging or inspiring but we can put in that extra effort to make it happen. If you happen to hit a wall mentally are see yourself in a not too pleasant situation try some of the easy hacks that I have listed below.

1) Wake up early: Start waking up 30 mins earlier than you usually do. This process will help you get into the right headspace to have an excellent day. After waking up get into a routine of either meditation, exercising or going for walk in nature. After you are done, sit quietly and enjoy a nice cup of tea or coffee, if you do not have any of those, have a fresh juice. This early morning routine will set you to feel inspired for the day ahead.

2) Cut off all the distractions: You might not have noticed it but being on social media, attending phone calls, regularly checking your mail can be a very distracting habit and can affect productivity negatively. Try tuning out of all of this for a stretch of 2 hours and see how much you will manage to achieve. Seeing yourself having such a productive day in itself will be an inspiration.

3) Do something for yourself once a week: You got to find ways to put yourself first. Do something you like once a week. Do it for yourself. Go out and try a new restaurant or watch a movie; this will put you in a positive frame of mind and leave you inspired to continue to do this more often. Make sure to reserve one day a week to treat yourself. Like I always say, “You got to learn to love yourself”.

4) Team up with others: Being all by yourself can get very boring. Find what we call a power team of like-minded people to work with. Together you’ll be inspired to do more with the amount of energy generated through each others sharing of ideas.

5) Read and watch something inspiring and motivational: Do not get engrossed in just watching the daily news several times a day or your favourite series the whole day, this content can be counter productive and often very depressing. Instead, read and watch something inspiring. Go through self help material. Read about the interesting lives of successful people. Such stuff will leave you focussed and inspired.

I’ve worked on several inspiring programs, to get health & life back on track by practicing the elements of love and peace. Check out my programs on www.mariosequeira.org. I have also written inspiring content if you’d like to take a read visit my BLOG Section.

5 Simple hacks to always be in a good mood

DECEMBER 11, 2020

...

Haven’t you realised that you wake up everyday either feeling good about yourself or just the opposite of it. This is quite common to all. In all likelihood good feelings at the start of the day get carried on right up till the end of the day. While if you feel stressed or sad in the first half of the day, this feeling often gets carried on up till the end of the day. The secret is that if you want to feel good about yourself routinely then, always stay positive and be happy and joyful as you get through your days irrespective of what is going on in your life.

Here are 5 small tips to be in a good mood through the day:

1) Appreciate what you have: It is very simple. As I so often say start your day with gratitude and appreciation for all that you have. It is not the big things that count as much as the little things that you should be grateful for that matter. Start with being grateful for being blessed to wake up to bright new sunny day. Be grateful for the breakfast that you enjoyed and also for the hands that made it. Indeed if we stop to think of it there are so many things we take so for granted. Think of the roof that you have above your head, the work that you have to go to and so on. Get into the habit of being grateful for 5 things in your life every day. If possible write about them in your journal.

2) Act happy: Heard of the song- Pretend by Nat King Cole? The first line reads- Pretend your happy when your blue’. The truth is that you need to act like the way you’d like to feel. If you want to feel enthusiastic then you must put on the hat of enthusiasm. Look at whatever task that you are doing as something exciting and something that you are looking forward to doing. Talk to people in a positive manner. Help someone in distress. All acts of kindness add to your feel-good factor. Just be happy and smiling always and this should be good enough to put you in a great mood.

3) Compliment others: Spend 1 minute thinking of something good about the person you share your day with. Then go ahead and complement them. Watch how the person feels, you will have uplifted their mood and yours as well. You would have given them a great day to experience along with one for yourself.

4) Step out: If you feel that your mood is low and you are going to have a bad day, stop what you are doing, go out and take a walk. It may mean just walking around the block of your building or visiting the store to buy some groceries. Whatever it maybe this quick walk is going to elevate your mood.

5) Talk to a friend or professional: If you are down a particularly important aspect of feeling good is letting out the feelings are holding you back. You may do so with a friend who can assist you with a whole lot of programs that you can take to regain control of your life. Whichever path you choose, make sure to let it out and talk about all your feelings and the solutions to improve your life.

The importance of gratitude in life

DECEMBER 11, 2020

...

Gratitude is probably the most important traits that you should possess. If it isn’t one of your strong points then you must begin to develop and nurture it. By practicing gratitude regularly you can virtually transform your life. Gratitude plays an important role in activating the law of attraction. You will always receive abundantly more of what you are grateful for. Do not wait to be grateful upon achieving something. Be grateful right away. Even if you are going through a period of turmoil there will always be something you can be grateful about Put plainly find something- just about anything to be grateful for. It will create the vibrations that will help you get out of your difficult situation.

1) Gratitude brings about a change of focus: Life is all about our focus, whatever we focus on moves closer. By practicing gratitude, you automatically shift more towards what you are grateful for. Gratitude helps you see things in new ways and helps you move from a state of lack to a state of abundance. If you are a beginner at this then the key to practicing gratitude is to write it down. Make a list of 10 things that you are grateful for each day in the morning and if possible read the list aloud thrice a day.

2) Gratitude adds quality to your life: By practicing gratitude, you will receive healing mentally, physically and even spiritually. Gratitude is not only about receiving loads of money, in fact loads of money can be a product of gratitude. Those who practice gratitude regularly experience a high level satisfaction and latent happiness.

3) Practicing gratitude makes you feel happier: When you think about the things you are grateful for your body starts producing happy hormones. This puts you into a happy vibration which is a great place to be in. You realise that you have so much to be happy about just by reading your gratitude list. When faced with tough situations in life, practicing gratitude can immediately make you forget about the cause of your anxiety.

4) Being grateful takes away your inner fears: It is hard to be fearful and grateful at the same time. The moment you are grateful fear disappears. When you are fearful, you begin vibrating in a state of lack. For example poverty makes us fearful. But when we are grateful, we begin to be thankful for what we have ( even if it isn’t much) and immediately shift our thinking towards abundance. Be grateful every day of the year- don’t save it only for Thanksgiving day.

5) Gratitude helps you achieve more goals: It is much easier to achieve ones goals when mentally in a state of abundance. Gratitude opens a platform for your internal success. With this internal success intact, you can set out on a path to achieve all your goals without any distractions. To put it plainly the more grateful you feel the more you will seek to achieve conversely if you focus only on lack, you will reside in a low opinion of yourself which is likely to kill all determination of achieving your goals.

Be grateful for almost anything and everything. Many of my programs promote the principles of gratitude, love and peace. Try them out FREE and experience a shift in your life that will make you see things absolutely clearly. Link to FREE PROGRAMS - https://mariosequeira.org/allfreeprograms

5 Ways to Tune In To Your Spiritual Frequency

DECEMBER 11, 2020

...

It is very simple and quite straight forward. Much like the radio getting onto the right frequency is the only way to connect with your spiritual being. We commonly call this spirituality. It is the only means by which a person can connect to his or her inner self. Unfortunately most have forgotten this ‘frequency fundamental’ and go about spirituality without knowing what to do and only reciting prayers learnt by rote over the years.

Life does not always go the way we expect it to go. There are times of bliss and happiness and times of turmoil and distress. Being spiritually connected not only helps us sustain in difficult times like these tough Covid days but it can also help you grow and can attract a lot of abundance and goodness into your life. Being deeply rooted in your spiritual life can help you pass through negativity with ease. So how do you go about getting and staying connected?

1) Meditate: When you meditate, you quieten your mind and start going within. With practice you will recede into a blissful retreat and calm your disturbed heart. You need to meditate regularly for best results. Start by devoting as little as 2 minutes of your day to mediate. In the beginning this may not be easy but with time you will grow in ability and interest. You will be able to ask your higher self for answers to almost anything that you are concerned with and you will be awed when you get your answers as if from the woodwork of your furniture. Initially you could try out some guided meditations available for free on Youtube.

2) Pray: Whatever higher power you believe in whether it is God as per your religion, the universe, The great Architect of the universe, source energy or so on, connect to it and talk to it. You are the fruit of the creation of the almighty super power but unfortunately through the years due to ignorance and disinformation we have lost the connection with this supreme being. You cannot do everything on our own, but with God all things are possible. Sometimes simple short exhortations to this spirit will go a long way:
- I need a miracle Lord
- Thank you for blessing me with abundance
- May you guide my path today
- I am grateful for all that is there in my life

3) Practice gratitude: We are all governed by the universal law of attraction. We get more of what we think and do. Always be grateful for all that you have in life however small it maybe and you will remain in a good frequency and connected. Eliminate negative talk like, I cannot earn enough money, life is boring, life is unfair to me, I am a weak creation and so on it creates negative energy and takes you into the realms of the lower frequencies. The more you indulge in such statements the more negativity you will attract. Instead replace your thoughts and practice gratitude by saying things like, I am happy and grateful for this beautiful life of mine, I love my job, I love my family, I am a happy and healthy person and so on. Be grateful for 5 things in your daily life and write them down each day.

4) Take care of your body: Your body is the place where your spirit resides. Many call it the temple of the Lord. Your body is blessed and houses the divine. You are a spirit who resides in a body and you will live in there forever. Make sure you take great care of it. Eat healthy and work out physically each day. It may be a walk, a jog, dancing, aerobics or yoga. Find an exercise routine that works best for you and stay healthy. Being healthy keeps you in a good frequency and helps you connect to your spiritual side in a pure way.

5) Surrender: You cannot control everything that happens in your life. You got to do your best and surrender the outcome of your tasks to the universe. Learning to surrender puts you in a great position of optimism in your life. When you surrender you accept whatever comes your way. Spiritual beings always live in conformity with God and the Universe. They believe that they are aligned with the two and whatever they do is offered to the universe.

I have worked on several programs on love, peace and self-improvement. All of my programs recognise the need of the spirit. When our spiritual needs are taken care of, every other aspect of our lives, fall in place. Do check out my programs on www.mariosequeira.org a lot of them are FREE.

7 Ways to Get Your Daily Work Done Stress-Free

DECEMBER 11, 2020

...

A new sunrise beckons a brand new day irrespective of our standing in in life we all have a certain set of things that we do each day whether it is related to work life or family life. We do some of these tasks blissfully while a few others may result in stressful situations. Stress is no good and often comes in the way of us living a happy life.

Today, I share with you 7 ways that will get through all your routine tasks with ease.

1) Plan your day: Planning your day ahead by itself is one of the best ways to effortlessly get you through all your routine tasks. A well planned day turns out to be more productive as your mind is already aligned with what it needs to achieve. Get into the constant habit of planning.

2) Avoid multitasking: For those of you who stress out over your daily routine, make sure to avoid doing too many things at a time. Multi-tasking can often cause chaos and raise stress levels. Plan your day in such a way that you end up doing one thing at a time. This will keep your levels of focus and clarity high.

3) Minimalistic approach: Take a minimalistic approach to the places you hang out most especially your work space or work desk. Avoid cluttered spaces as they raise the levels of chaos in the brain. Keep only the things that you need around you while going about your important tasks.

4) Do not rush: It is important to relax all through your day. Rushing through tasks will cultivated anxiety and will not let you enjoy the best moments in life. Instead, relax through your tasks, slow down and keep a cool and calm mind. You will end up being more productive.

5) Stay focussed: While getting tasks done it is important not to get distracted. Social media, email, phone calls, and the T.V are factors that can cause distractions during work reducing productivity. Make sure to turn off your phone or keep it away when you begin an all important task.

6) Limit the amount of information that your brain processes: Avoid feeding your brain more than it can take in. Stop doing energy draining tasks like watching the news for prolonged hours, reading too many blogs or newsletters in a day and so on. Too much of unnecessary information tires the brain and will stress you out. Take in information within limits.

7) Meditate: Get into the habit of meditation for at least 20 minutes a day. Meditation powers up the brain to achieve more in life without getting worked up. Meditation lets you get to know yourself better and once you are in control of yourself you will perform much better.

Take these small steps each day to live a happy life free from worry and stress. You have the potential to live an extraordinary life. You are the temple of the Lord. It is possible for you to manifest your deepest desires—if only you honour this your inner divinity and consciously choose to live from it.

4 ways to overcome stage fright and other difficult siutuations

NOVEMBER 6, 2020

...

Do you get nervous before important life changing events like a job interview, a performance on stage or delivering a speech to an audience? Being nervous during such moments is natural, however nervousness negatively affects the way you perform during these critical times. You could begin trembling, become fidgety, you could even sweat from your palms. Internally you begin to lose your sense of calm which could even result in a total loss of focus on the crucial moments that you are about to indulge in. Here are a 4 ways to overcome nervousness and perform far better.

1) Be prepared: Being prepared is the biggest key to beating nervousness. Whether you are delivering a presentation, a key note address or a live performance on stage you got to be fully prepared. This means rehearsing several times right up until the big moment. When you have mastered what you are going to deliver you will lose your feelings of being nervous.

2) Breathe: Breathing helps you get a hold of yourself, loosen up and slow down. If you observe your mannerisms just before a crucial meeting or performance, you will notice that you are doing everything in haste and most likely haphazardly. When this happens it is best to pause for a while, find a quiet place to sit down and just keep taking deep breaths for a minute of two. You will instantly feel relaxed and calm.

3) Positive self-talk: Turn the nervous energy into something positive. As soon as you feel nervousness coming up start talking positively to yourself. You could say things like, “I am looking forward to this meeting”, “I am excited to be representing my company at this conference”, “I am feeling blessed to have this opportunity before me”. This will help you get over the nervousness and get into the right mind-set before the occasion.

4) Get rid of expectations: Your brain naturally loves to create a picture of the way you want things to go at the meeting. Such expectations are factors that create more anxiety. Just do your best and leave that which is beyond your control to God or the Universe. Do not be afraid to fail when things do not go as per plan. Be ready for any eventuality with a positive frame of mind.

We got to be confident to perform at our best. Put the above points into practice before your next big moment and let me know if it helps. Do check out my website www.mariosequeira.org for several programs to transform your life and live well.

3 Things to do when Days Look Dull and Hopeless

NOVEMBER 2, 2020

...

There are days when you wake up feeling happy and bright; the world seems to be on your side and the feelings from within radiate brightness upon your face. But, there are other days that are very dull, seem hopeless and you literally need to drag yourself out of bed; you do not feel the enthusiasm to get through your day, you feel stuck in life. What do you need to do to turn around such situations? Surely they are unpleasant and do you no good, hence you need to get rid of such feelings immediately. How do you do this?

1) Visit pleasant memories in your life: Close your eyes and shift your focus to all the pleasantness in your life. Think gratitude. Focus on the happy moments spent with your family, the wonderful moments of success at work, the exciting holiday or road trip you recently took. Live those feelings and feel an immediate shift in your mood towards positivity. Give it a try. It is easy and will give you stellar results.

Ask yourself positive questions, the answers to which will immediately make you feel good. Examples of questions are - What are you grateful for today? What are some of your favourite life’s moments? What are some of the steps that you must take to move forward? Answer them positively and you will feel better immediately.

2) Play a sport: If the situation permits indulge in a little sport. It could be an indoor game of table-tennis or something outdoors like soccer or basketball. Playing a sport immediately uplifts your mood and makes you feel better. It releases the happy hormones like serotonin and oxytocin.

3) Watch a motivational video: Log in to social media or YouTube and watch a video of your favourite motivational speaker. Their wisdom may just be what was missing in your day to make it great again. I’ve created a few introductory videos to my transformational programs on YouTube.

Importance of coming out of your comfort zone and ways to do it

NOVEMBER 2, 2020

...

A comfort zone is a pretty popular place to be around in life. Everything seems to be safe and going well when you are in your comfort zone. But if you are seeking to grow and progress in life, it is definitely not a place you want to be in. The best growth in life happens outside your comfort zone. What’s interesting is that comfort zones only initially are about comfort but with time they become all about fear. You go into a cocoon of a comfort zone as you are afraid to change the status co. Move out of your comfort zone and learn to appreciate the experiences that life throws at you. Ride the waves of risk with ease, and bring success to your life.

Here are some ways to come out of your comfort zone and taste success:

1) Awareness of the world beyond your comfort zone: The best way to get to know the world beyond your comfort zone is to become aware of it. Identify all that happens in that world and make a list of the things worth doing and what is it that keeps you from doing them. Is it the fear of failure, is it the fear of feeling sad or disappointed, is it the fear of being judged by others?

2) Tell yourself that you will not be fearful: Everyday look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself that you are fearless and wish to take action on the things that you are afraid of. Gradually, start doing each of the things one by one and tell yourself that you will persist with it irrespective of the outcome. The more you do this, the sooner you’ll overcome your fears of being outside your comfort zone.

3) Stay focused and positive: There will be many instances where your confidence may get rattled. You will begin to develop a great sense of fear. Recognize the fact that all such feelings are natural and we are all bound to go through it, especially when we are trying to do something new. Keep moving on, do not sink with the negative feelings, believe in yourself and believe you will win soon.

4) Stop taking Yourself Too Seriously: One of the best things you can do to enjoy life is to learn to laugh at yourself. When you do so, you will learn to enjoy every moment of life, whether it is a successful one or a setback. Do not take life too seriously; life is too short for that. Learn to add fun to every moment of your life.

5) Make it a habit to try something new: Life is all about learning. Try out new things. Go to a new restaurant that serves a different type of cuisine, learn a new sport, learn a new life program, learn to play a musical instrument. Never shy away from trying out new stuff. It will bring out the best in you and will be a great step towards coming out of your comfort zone.

It may feel a bit unsettling to do all of the above at first, but there is no need to jump straight at doing new things in a big way; start by taking baby steps towards your new goals.

By taking small steps you are sure to make it big soon. Keep persisting. Live happy and stay safe.

Why are you always being hard on yourself? 5 Ways to break the Habit

OCTOBER 23, 2020

...

Things do not always go the way we expect they will. We face various challenges like difficulties in setting up your dream company, in personal relationships, not being able to take care of our health or whatever else the case maybe. Things just don’t seem to go right. The way we react to such situations is often by blaming it on ourselves. We either begin to blame ourselves, or indulge in self- hurt like anger. We may even resort to drinking or doing drugs. None of these ways will be able to do us any good. Being hard on yourself lowers your self-esteem and takes a toll on your steps to success.

Here are a few ways to break the habit of being hard on yourself:

1) Start recording your wins: This habit is very good for your mental health. Every time you do something successful make sure you note it down. When faced with a negative situation, instead of blaming yourself for being a failure, go to the page where you have recorded your wins and read through. You will instantly realise that what is currently hurting you is trivial in comparison to the success you have previously achieved.

2) Stop comparing yourself to others: Comparing your life with someone else’s is the worst of habits one can get into. Remember that you are unique and accept it. Each one has a different life and different circumstances hence we cannot always achieve what the other does. By comparing your life with others you are being unfair to yourself.

3) Accept your failures and learn from them: When things don’t go as planned and you don’t succeed don’t call it failure. Call it experience. Everything we typically call failure is nothing but a learning or experience that is setting you up for growth. Every time you feel you have not been successful in doing what you wanted to do, sit down and analyse the situation. Make a list of all the things that prevent you from achieving the right results. Then think of how you could do those things differently in order to win over the situation. Once you have your answers, shift your path towards doing things the right way.

4) Seek support: Asking for help does not mean you are weak. Everyone needs a helping hand. Form a mastermind group. Life is easier when there are people to help you out along the way. When more minds work on a problem there is a better chance of solving it. Take help from friends or family, there are many good Samaritans waiting to help you out. You could even try out a coaching program like the one I have on offer. I have worked with several clients who felt stuck in life but came out really strong by overcoming all blocks in life after the coaching program.

5) Treat yourself well: One of the major problems that takes place when things do not go your way is that you begin to hurt yourself intentionally or unintentionally. Remember that your life is your greatest gift. Learn to love yourself. Practice gratitude, look into the mirror and tell yourself that everything is going to be okay and that with the experience you have gained you are going to win over the obstacles in your life. Learn to live well with yourself. Do not feed yourself with negative self-talk, cursing, self-regret or any negative emotions. They only serve to hold you back. Celebrate life even in your failures, make them stepping stones to success. Your greatness is round the corner. Live well..!!

5 Ways to embrace fear and move past it

OCTOBER 23, 2020

...

A lot of us live our lives by being fearful of so many different things. It may be psychological or emotional fear and there are several kinds of them:

  • Fear of the unknown
  • Fear of failure
  • Fear of success
  • Fear of loss
  • Fear of being rejected

Fear often shows up abruptly and unannounced. There is very little that we can do to stop fear from coming immediately, but there is lots we can do once we are faced with it. Fear makes us feel small, defeated and often puts us in places we do not want to be. Let us find ways that can help us conquer our fears and live in places that make us feel blessed, energetic and successful.

1) Acknowledge your fear: Whenever you start feeling afraid, just stop whatever it is that you are doing and observe your fear. Acknowledge that you are feeling fearful. Try and reflect on things around your fear. What causes you the most fear in that particular situation? Is it a person, is it a thing, is it an outcome you are afraid of? Acknowledging fear will help put you in a position to control it.

2) Manage your fear: Once you are done with acknowledging your fear, the next step is to manage it. Start by asking yourself what if. Let’s say you have stage fright while playing the guitar. Ask yourself what’s the worst that could happen. Would you forget the chords, would your hands be trembling and visible to the audience, are you afraid that the audience will boo you, would your guitar string break half the way through your song? Remind yourself that most of these things have not happened and are only in your mind. Shift your focus on the exact opposite of all the things you thought about and imagine how you’d feel if none of what you feared happened. That’s where you want to be and that will keep you going.

3) Use the act of mindfulness: Feelings of fear usually occur when our mind is thinking of the negative outcomes of the past or fear of possible negativity in the future. Under fear the mind is not in the present moment, which is actually a moment where everything is well for you. Shift your focus to the present and watch the fear disappear. Make it a conscious effort to be mindful of the things you are presently doing and your fears will diminish.

4) Use your fear: Whenever you are faced with fear, picture fear to be an object, look it in the eye and say things like “Fear, I see you, I feel you.. But I am going to manage you and use you for my good”. You will instantly feel confident and will channelize your fear as a guide to win over the situation that you are fearful about.

5) Focus on the feeling of accomplishing the fearful tasks: Shift your focus on how you’d feel if you won over your fears and achieved a task. Let’s go back to the same example of fear of performing on a stage. Picture yourself finishing your act and getting a standing ovation from the audience. How would that make you feel? Now bask in those feelings for a while and draw motivation from it and you will see your fears disappear into thin air.

Embrace your fears and win over them, there is a lot of happiness beyond them. Don’t run away from them. Most of my programs on transformation and peace revolve around winning over your subconscious mind which is the one primarily responsible for instilling fear in our minds.

How to Deal with Disappointment

OCTOBER 23, 2020

...

If there is a Yin then there will always be a Yang. Much the same way all of us are often faced with disappointments. You must remember that if the Yin and Yang is true for disappointments then the converse will be true also. Disappointments can drag us to our most negative selves and keep us there for days, weeks or months together. Here are some tips to help you bounce back quickly from the drag caused by disappointments in your life.

1) Start by acknowledging the way you feel about the situation: Look at how you exactly feel due to a particular event or person because of whom you face disappointment. Acknowledge the fact that you are feeling disappointed. Find out what really happened, what should have actually happened and why you feel so disappointed about the situation. Accept the feeling in full as it is only after acceptance that your healing process can begin.

2) Believe that the feeling will pass off: Just because you experience disappointing feelings do not beat yourself up yourself due to the disappointment. Know that disappointments are not permanent and will inevitably pass off. Do not take it as a setback. And believe that you will move on soon.

3) Learn from the experience: We all learn and grow from our disappointments. The negatives come to make us stronger and wiser so learn from setbacks. They are your teachers. In difficult situations ,while looking out for solutions also ask yourself questions like, what will I learn from all that has happened? What can I do differently going forward to avoid similar situations? By asking yourself such questions you will be able to pin point reasons for your disappointments and where required change your course of action in those particular areas. You may decide to improve your communication skills if the disappointment occurred due to a misunderstanding; you may let go off spending time with a person who repeatedly disappoints you. Life is all about learning and being polished by our experiences.

4) Shift your focus to what is going right in your life: By doing this you sow seeds of positivity that in time will outgrow the negative feelings. Practice gratitude and shift your focus on the positive aspects of your life. Be grateful for your life as a whole. Be it your job, your home, the air you breathe, your healthy body, your family, your friends and so on. Practicing gratitude will immediately make you feel re-energized and focused.

5) Talk it over with someone: If you feel down or lonely don’t bottle up your feelings. Instead let it out, find a confidante and talk about the disappointment with him. Your inner pressure of the problem will immediately get released and you’ll feel better whether your confidante gives you a solution or not. Most of the time we will find the solution while talking to what I call a ‘sounding board’. If needed you could find a life coach who will give you a wider and healthier perspective of things which will result in solutions to avoid disappointments over a period of time.

I’ve personally helped over 500 clients overcome their repeated disappointments in life through my one-on-one coaching program that has transformed, empowered and enabled them to crystalize into reality those very dreams that they so happily dream of.

5 WAYS TO STOP NEGATIVE SELF-TALK

OCTOBER 23, 2020

...

Within us we all have our inner critic who can work for our good but also work against us. Even if you don’t realise it we all do at least some amount of self-talk every day. You may not notice it but it does happen. When most of what we are saying to ourselves is negative we invite upon ourselves untold damage and misery.

You must take the appropriate steps to halt this negative self-talk. I have listed below a few suggestions that will help you rid yourself of this.

1) Say stop to the inner voice: Whenever you realise that your inner critic comes alive and is unnecessarily being negative, speak to it using phrases like “Stop, we do not need to go down that road again” or “Let’s us make it work this time”. Gently command your inner voice to think positive. Disrupt the flow of your negative thoughts at the beginning itself and don’t let it grow louder.

2) Remind yourself of the times that the inner voice has not worked for you: As soon as hear your inner voice speak negatively, remind yourself of all the times that you’ve listened to it and have failed. Think of how you may remain same unhappy person 5 years down the road if you indefinitely continue listening to the negative self-talking inner voice.

3) Replace negativity with positivity: Every time you begin to self-talk negatively, identify and if you believe it is a call to action thought that is valid self criticism then act on it but if you believe it is useless negativity decide and then switch. Identify, Decide, Switch! It’s that simple. Switch the negative thought and substitute it with a positive one. It is not just enough to let go off the negative thought, but it is equally important that you immediately replace the negative with positive.

4) Follow a healthy lifestyle: It is often said that our gut is our second brain. Science has confirmed that through the Vegas nerve there is a very close connection between our gut and our brain. Trust me, eating healthy and exercising will eliminate negative thoughts from your life by 50%. Try and get 30 minutes of exercise of any form each day. Fuel your mind and body by practicing techniques like meditation and yoga.

5) Surround yourself with positive people: Birds of the same feathers flock together is an old clichéd phrase. But it is true to this day. The problem of hanging out with complainers, pessimists, haters makes you a complainer, pessimist and a hater. When faced with having to be around such people you should exercise any of these two options. Either try and sow seeds of positivity in them or walk away and find positive people. Generally I would not try to change the world and so would walk away and find new and energising positive friends to hang around with. You have two safe choices, you could try either one and the results will be fantastic.

My program titled Power your life with the Life’s Mastery Vision Script Program (LMVS) comprises of the most power filled techniques to eliminate negative self-talk and all such delimiting habits that come in the way of scripting the best life you could possible live.

7 Life Changing Benefits of Journaling Daily

OCTOBER 09, 2020

...

We are all writing all through our lives on a daily basis. We either do it when we write out a work email, create an invoice, text a friend, make a shopping list and so on. If you go back to your school days you will recollect that you were always encouraged to write. Writing has several physical and mental benefits. If you take down notes, you are twice more likely to remember stuff than the people who do not take down notes at all. All successful people in life write and maintain a journal. Journaling has a great impact on one’s life and this practice results in a lot of positives which I’d like to discuss today.

1) Journaling helps you keep track of positive insights that hit you through your day: We human beings have numerous thoughts that come to our minds through the day. Some of them may be inspiring while others might be ones we’d like to forget. Your thoughts are driving forces that help you create the life that you desire. Very often we let our positive creative thoughts that could have a profound impact on our lives simply pass by. Journaling helps you record these thoughts, you can go back to them anytime later and use these thoughts to better your life or find solutions to the challenges that you face.

2) Journaling can help you fulfil your goals: The first step of achieving your goals is writing them down. Writing your goals for the day at the beginning of each day or the night before on your journal will help you achieve them faster. When you write down your goals and read them out, they get rooted in your subconscious mind which is an important place for manifesting goals.

3) Journaling will help you prevent repeating mistakes from the past: Once you get into a practice of daily journaling, you will have recorded both your pleasant and unpleasant experiences. If you are faced with the same unpleasant experience in the future you can always go back to your diary and check out how you dealt with them before. Recording such events will help you find solutions to overcome the unpleasantness and not let it affect yourself.

4) Journaling helps organise your thoughts: We have various aspects of our lives like family life, work life, spiritual life, personal life and so on. Through the day we get caught up with a lot of stuff in each of these aspects and we juggle with handling them effectively. Journaling about these various aspects of life can get you more organised and find a balance of time to deal with them all.

5)Releasing Toxic feelings: Journaling can work as a great de-stressor. We often choose the wrong mediums like social media or playing video games to let go off our thoughts. Ideally, it is a good practice to note down all negative thoughts and try and find a relation between the thoughts and the cause of the thoughts. Once you have it on paper you’ll be able to work on a plan to eliminate the causes of these toxic thoughts.

6) Journaling helps practice gratitude: I’ve always advocated the practice of being grateful for 5 or more things that happen to you every day and writing them down in your journal. In my program Peace of Mind can be Yours if Only You Will Receive it I have gone into the details of how one can find love and peace by simply being grateful. Make it a habit to practice gratitude each day and see the wonders it makes for your life.

7) Journaling helps build self-discipline: Journaling every day is a form of self-discipline by itself. When you journal about life you basically are creating a roadmap to living it. You will be bound to take action and inculcate discipline in achieving your goals. Start journaling today, all you need is a book and pen. Journaling will help you understand yourself. Start slow but start TODAY..!

Ways to Create and Maintain a Positive Energy Life which will Attract All You Desire

AUGUST 28, 2020

...

We are all writing all through our lives on a daily basis. We either do it when we write out a work email, create an invoice, text a friend, make a shopping list and so on. If you go back to your school days you will recollect that you were always encouraged to write. Writing has several physical and mental benefits. If you take down notes, you are twice more likely to remember stuff than the people who do not take down notes at all. All successful people in life write and maintain a journal. Journaling has a great impact on one’s life and this practice results in a lot of positives which I’d like to discuss today.

If you often feel energetic and excited (in a good way) then it is more than likely that you are vibrating at a higher frequency and so generating a positive energy. If you fluctuate on your energy levels and repeatedly find yourself feeling down it is because you are vibrating at a low frequency and thereby generating low or negative energy. When you feel you are vibrating at a low frequency you must make a shift which may easily be done by making a few adjustments.

Do an energy check right now by answering a few questions.

Do you have a clear mind set?

Are you feeling mentally alert?

Do you enjoy good health?

Do you wake up feeling fresh?

Are you at inner peace?

Are you manifesting the life that you want?

If the answer to any of these is no, then I can help you overcome this. Let’s start by identifying the top four energy drainers: These are all pervasive and yet escape un noticed.

1) Incompletions: If you have a whole lot of things that you have left incomplete, it leaves you feeling incompetent and incomplete. This causes clutter in your mind and is a big energy drainer. Incompletions can be pending bill payments, pending home repairs, postponed meetings and so on.

2) Lying to yourself: If you lead your life telling yourself that “Everything is going to be okay”, “This does not matter”, “I can overlook this” or “I don’t have to do that” when actually you feel the opposite of it then you are putting your body at ease but leaving your mind diseased. Learn to take ownership of the truth, if you do not like doing something, do not do it. If you are forced to go on a holiday that you feel you won’t enjoy, politely decline. If there is a person you do not feel comfortable around, avoid meeting this person. All these are energy drainers.

3) Too much of clutter: Clutter drains positive energy. When we have stocked up our homes with things that we do not need, we prevent energy from flowing through us and we get negatively charged. Put messy rooms in order, organise all your belongings and place them tidily and you will feel instant positive energy filling you up. Let the sunshine in.

4) Sedentary Lifestyle: If you have a desk job where you sit the whole day, after finishing work if you come home and sit and watch TV and hardly go outdoors then you will feel a major drain in energy. Walk 10 minutes around the block that you live in and see the difference

Follow these simple steps and you will see a drastic difference in your magnetic powers:

5) Complete one task at a time: Grab a piece of paper, write down one of your pending tasks and then continue reading this article. Then as soon as you finish reading this personal message, complete that task.

6) Get organised: Make a ‘de-cluttering plan”. You don’t have to clean it all in one day. Do it one room at a time if you plan to de-clutter your house. We often need to de-clutter our minds too. This can be done one episode or event or thought at a time just like the one room at a time cleaning of your house. In the case of your house I suggest start with the room that you spend most time in. Be it your mind or your home, keep them organised and clean. You don’t have to do it but when you do it you will notice the difference!

7) Forgive more and love more: Start by loving yourself. Love yourself and forgive yourself too. Mentally send out love and forgiveness to all the people who wrong you.

8) Practice Gratitude: Be grateful for all that is happening in your life. Both the good and the bad. Both are teaching you a lesson and making you stronger and wiser. Both are giving you what we call experience. Make it a habit to write down 5 things that you are grateful for each day when you go to bed. These need not be very big things but could be as mundane as being grateful for having a beautiful roof on your head. Spend some time in gratitude for these things .

Make sure to put in practice all that you have gathered from this article. I have been in the field of self-improvement for several years now and I’ve developed several programs based on love, peace and happiness. Some of these programs are even FREE. Do check them out here.

5 ways to get over tough situations

OCTOBER 09, 2020

...

Life may not seem fair it may not feel like a bed of roses especially when things don’t go the way you want them to. But is life good or is it bad?
The answer depends on you. If you see life as bad, it will be so. Life is what you make of it. Life isn’t easy for sure but that does not mean it is bad. We are often faced with horribly tough situations such as the loss of a loved one, or the loss of a job, or a health issue or maybe even the loss of a home. These Covid times can bring out the worst and be quite a challenge as they also have the potential of bringing a great deal of grief. At these times the easiest thing to do is to blame people or situations for the misery. Interestingly the harder option is the right one, and that is to take responsibility of the catastrophe, gather strength and move on. Our response to a situation is what enables us to win over it or makes us succumb. Here are 5 ways to help you handle what life throws at you.

1) Cultivate the habit of acceptance: The common feelings after an unpleasant happening are shock, denial & pain and guilt. The first step of dealing with any situation that is unpleasant but unavoidable is to accept it for what it is. The sooner the acceptance the faster will you empower yourself to handle the situation. Accepting of a situation is looking at it without judgment, and that is the best frame of mind from which to take action.

2) Focus on what life offers to teach you: There is something to learn from everything that happens to us. If there is someone who repeatedly annoys you, you can probably say that it is happening to you so that you build on your patience. Focusing on the lesson to be learnt from a situation will help you feel empowered to embrace it.

3) Seek help when necessary: Seeking help is not a sign of weakness but one of strength. Ask for help from whoever you’d feel comfortable with. It could be your best friend or a family member or a life coach. You will be able to find solutions to any challenge with help from others.

4) Do not live with expectations: If you live life with unreasonable expectations you could end up hurting yourself. If you have strong beliefs like ‘hard work pays off’ or ‘kindness must be reciprocated’ and if it so happens that any of these do not work out as expected, you will feel betrayed and disappointed. The universe has its own purpose for things which are often beyond our understanding and are best accepted without preconditions.

5) Practice gratitude: Focus on the things that have been working out for you. They don’t always have to be big things or events or successes. If your love life is in turmoil, but your career is great and you enjoy good health be thankful for your career and good health. Gratitude for things in life will change your entire perspective of life.

You may not always get what you want, but remember you can work towards being who you want to be no matter what life throws your way.

The awesome benefits of being present in the moment

AUGUST 28, 2020

...

You have probably heard of the importance of living life in the present moment. But, have you ever been told why?
The answer is simple. Although there are several benefits that will come out of living in the present, the greatest of them all is Peace of Mind. I talk about it extensively in my program on peace. Click here to get the FREE version of my program.
Living in the present moment is not very easy, one tends to immediately slip out of it and begin living in the past or the future. Whenever this happens, just be aware of the moment and try to bring back your focus on the present moment, the NOW moment. God resides in the present. If you can master this you will begin to know God rather than what most know is about God.
Living in the present moment comes with a lot of benefits.

1) Living in the present improves one’s social skills: If you are one of those who find it tough interacting with people, always wondering what to say or how to say, being in the present moment will surely be a great help to you. Your focus automatically gets diverted to the person in front of you, and all nervous thoughts about the past and the future are taken away. Imagine talking to your best friend, you are never worried and nervous as to what to say. This is because you bring your mind into the present, which is a comfort zone and then begin your conversations.

2) Brings out the best of your creativity: If you are one of those with creative talents like writing, drawing, art and crafts, sculpturing you will perform best when you do these things in the present moment. You bring out the best in you when you have nothing else on your mind. Living away from present moments, creates limiting mental blocks that will shut off creativity.

3) You begin to see goodness in everything: Living in the present moment helps you to appreciate more. You will stop analysing your life or the life of others and live each day as it comes. Just go outdoors, tune into life as it is happening and observe things around you, your mind will catch the attention of trees, animals, people and things, all of which will look more beautiful than they otherwise do. Try it out..!

4) Less worry and stress: Connecting with the present moment clears your mind from all the unwanted thoughts that are running in your head. If you find it tough to let go of the several thoughts running in your mind then just sit where you are with your eyes closed and take ten deep breaths. Focus your attention on each breath. This will instantly shift you into the present.

5) You’ll be more cheerful: Living in the present simply keeps you happy. This mainly happens because we stop worrying. Living in the present makes you realise that life is happening to you right now and you’d want to make the most of it. You feel in control of things that happen to you thus making you instantly happy and cheerful. Apart from my programs on peace, I’ve designed a wonderful program that lets you live in the present moment by taking charge of your life. It is called Life’s Mastery Vision Script Program (LMVS). Here is the link for the program.

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?

Homebound during this lockdown? Here are some wellness tips to be fit and healthy while at home.

JULY 28, 2020

...

A lot of us are forced to remain home due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The lockdown has surely had its effect on all of our exercise routines. You’d probably be one of those who used to go gyming, cycling and swimming and can now no longer do so, thus reducing your levels of fitness and well-being. We cannot afford to let self-isolation or social distancing come in the way of our fitness. Do remember staying fit can be critical for your very survival since it builds up immunity. I am delighted to give you simple tips that will help you stay healthy and happy while at home. “Life is not only about accumulating wealth. It is also about being physically well and able to enjoy it”.

  • Stay Active: You can start by doing basic stretches to loosen up your body. Bodyweight exercises like push-ups, sit-ups, crunches and jumping jacks will help you gain strength. Practice basic yoga poses like the mountain pose, downward dog, warrior poses, the tree pose, the bridge pose and so on. Read about my successful body transformation journey in which I lost over 61 pounds here. Download my free program on weight loss.
  • Practice Mindfulness: These uncertain times can get us very stressed out with racing thoughts playing through our minds. Learning various methods to find peace will help you stay calm and focused at all times. You can download my FREE program on peace on the following link https://www.mariosequeira.org/product2.php?page_id=3
  • Connect with friends: In-person meetups are off the table for a while and so we might develop feelings of loneliness. The human spirit longs for connections and hence we can resort to online meeting platforms like whatsapp, skype, zoom, facebook manager and so on. Even though difficult do not lose out completely on the personal human touch. We are social beings and will never be satisfied only with the virtual world.
  • Learn something new: Utilize this time to build a better you. Introspect on all the areas of your life like your family, career, relationships and so on. Identify any areas that may require healing and transformation. I’ve gone through very tough times in my life and it was during these moments that I discovered a widespread need for the principles of self-discovery and personal growth which transformed my life. The same could happen with you. If you’d like to be a part of my transformational programs I ask you to visit my website https://www.mariosequeira.org/ and take a look at my programs on transformation.

My programs have been super successful in helping people of varied ages find and then reach their goals, which are often achieving financial gains or finding peace of mind amidst a chaotic life.

How can I find Inner Peace?

JULY 25, 2020

...

We are constantly battling internal and external chaos almost every single day of our lives. Negative emotions triggered by life around the Coronavirus, our hectic work schedules and overthinking can often drain the life out of us. We are all on a quest to find inner peace but don’t know where to find it.
What is this inner peace after all? Explained very simplistically – If you are content and happy with your present situation in life and if you are not easily angered then it may be said that you have inner peace. Put differently inner peace is also the act of living happily with oneself. How many of us truly have the privilege of doing so? Among a myriad of reasons many of us are unable to find peace because we continue to live with mental blocks created way back during our childhood. Then think of those who always think negatively and so have become magnets of negativity? We are often anxious about what the future holds for us and so forget to live in the moment. Just like you can be a magnet for negativity you can also become a magnet for positivity. If you are anxious and are yearning for Peace of Mind then learn how to attract peace into your life. Below I share with you a few tips on how you could find peace of mind, however if you’d like to go straight into a more detailed program that guarantees you peace, then check out my program Peace of Mind can be Yours if Only You Will Receive it.

  • Prioritize activities: Learn the importance of the word NO. Then learn to say NO. If you do not have the time to do certain things and if they are not important to you then just say NO..! Saying No to things that will take away your peace will immediately make you feel better.  Find ways to relax: Practice activities that help you relax. It maybe a long walk around where you live, basic yoga asanas, meditation or a swim; You could just take a walk in the woods or go sit by a lake. Whatever helps you be peaceful, simply just do it.
  • Do not blow things out of proportion: How we react to situations is very important. If something does not go your way, asking yourself questions like “Will this matter in 5 years’ time?” Your answer to this question will surely put things into perspective and resolve a substantial part of what causes you stress.
  • Practice letting go : If you are holding on to something that has happened in the past, just let it go and enjoy the feeling of lightness that comes along with doing this.
  • Unplug on the weekends: Spend your Saturdays and Sundays in finding yourself. You can do so by logging off work, disconnecting from social media for the day and limiting screen time. You also must spend quality time with your family and friends.
  • Stop procrastinating: Procrastination will do you no good. Take action towards solving your problems immediately. This will help release the stress that comes along with them.

Be in the pursuit of peace at all times, over a period of time it will become a habit to be peaceful and you will attract peace with ease at all times. You will soon stop trying to force it upon you. If you liked this article, check out my FREE eBook on Peace of Mind.
