Luxury is not for cowards; it is not makeup; it is not going to restaurants or any particular dressing style.
The real luxury is to live the way you like.
With comfortable pants. In comfortable shoes. With the color of lipstick that suits you, or no lipstick at all. To have food that is delicious to you, friends with whom you are comfortable, to be together because of love, not out of a sense of duty.
Learn to give up the unnecessary,
what is obsolete and worn out. And take care of what you like. My friend’s 5-year-old daughter has been visiting us with her favorite spoon all her little life. She can afford to eat with the utensils she likes. Her mother gets annoyed every time and tries to justify herself. I started taking picnic utensils with me because I’m not particularly eager to eat in plastic. And I don’t care what others think about it.
Luxury living should not be “deserved.”
It’s about the fact that whatever item of choice is worthy for you. The cup given to you by your sister. Dad’s T-shirt, which is so cozy to sleep in. Cake made by your Mom’s recipe. The kiss of a loved one. Exciting books. Great movies. Your favorite songs. Clean bed linen. Tidy apartment. Life of your choice!
Meditation is the art of focusing 100% on an area. Practicing it brings multiple health benefits, such as
It is a luxury not to punish yourself when something goes wrong.
Socks can tear. The cake may not be tasty. Friends may not want to watch your favorite movie with you. The person you love can leave. You might not get a deserved promotion. Anything can happen. If something doesn’t work for you, it doesn’t affect your value. It just means that not everything is going the way you want it to now.
It is a luxury to choose how to live.
Sew torn socks or buy new ones. Throw away the cake and order sushi, or try to make it again. Watch the movie alone or go for a coffee with friends. Let go or fight! Look for a new job or reconsider your old goals.
It is a luxury to live by your own rules.
Move towards your goals. Don’t apologize. Don’t be in your comfort zone. Do not justify your choices, your dreams, your interests.
Say, “I deserve something much better.” And then, “I can do it.“

“When you do not find a clear reason for your Love for someone, it means that you really Love him… You often Love people who fulfill your whims, who are like you. You feel safe with them. Loving people who are like you is actually easy. It isn’t easy to love people who do not look like you, who do not fulfill your every wish. It’s hard to love someone not because it makes you happy, but simply because it exists because it doesn’t look like anyone else because it’s who it is… “- Kursat Basar, author Music by My Bedside

“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.” ― Oscar Wilde,

The world is changing because you are changing. Not the other way around. YES! We are moving forward, but it is important to take our new selves forward. And for our new self, it’s essential to get rid of these 7 things. They would be a pointless burden on the road.
Here are 7 things to get rid from your life:
1. Criticism of yourself and others
It’s time to revise this habit, which only drains your energy. It doesn’t matter if you criticize mentally or aloud. Criticism is only needed for discovering and analyzing what you need to keep working on. It is a constructive critique. BUT! When it becomes a relentless river of resentment, denial, rejection, hatred, it becomes hidden aggression towards you and others. Aggression attracts more aggression, and without realizing it, you enter into a vicious circle. Everything has its positive and its not so positive sides. Learn to accept both, to seek and discover the positive in you and things.
2. Living in the past
You will not find anything new there. When you live in the past, you bring it into the present and make it your current attraction point. It is how you attract more of the same. And then you wonder why you attract the same relationships, situations, and things again. Throw away old wounds and pain. Take off your old insults and fears. Put on faith, goodwill. And go ahead. Don’t let the past steal your present.
3. Toxic relationships
These are one-way relationships. Relationships in which energy moves only from one side to the other, and there is no exchange. Only you give, save, listen, comfort, help. These are relationships that steal your energy and mood. It’s time to change. Someone only looks for you when they need something. And do you need this type of communication?
Don’t pretend to be a good person with toxic people. If you are sympathetic to them, you become toxic to yourself.
Dr. Hinohara’s advice for longevity and fulfilling life: Dr. Shigeaki Hinohara is one of those to
4. Excessive thinking
It is the art of creating problems that do not exist. Suppose you are the type of person who tends to think the same thing over and over again like a merry-go-round. You spend more time in your mind than in reality. It is merely the inertia of the mind. It’s time to release the momentum that steals from your present. This way, you give more importance to things that do not really deserve your concern. Just say to yourself: STOP! And return your awareness to the present. This is only a matter of a little practice. The moment you take your attention out of the thought carousel and infuse it into the present reality, and you are ready. You will feel how you got out of the grip of the mental carousel. Then persevere with this practice for a while. You will now feel how nice it is to regain the joy of life.
5. Fear of change
How do you know that what you are accustomed to or have is better than what is coming? The only sure thing in life is change. Learning to accept change is one of the essential lessons of modern times. Of course, any change is associated with leaving the comfort zone. But the moment you allow the change, you realize that it has expanded your comfort zone. It has made you more flexible and adaptable. After all, life itself is an endless journey, learning, and expansion, right? And the more you resist change and try to hide in safety, the more painful it becomes. With each change, you become more conscious, knowledgeable, skilled, and wise. Change brings expansion. Trust the change.
Home is a significant part of ourselves. Its energy and physical cleanliness are vital to the way we
6. To underestimate yourself
Stop doing it. Stop underestimating yourself. You keep thinking that others are more than you. And you are inferior to them. Too often, I meet capable and talented people who, however, underestimate themselves so much that they place a restrictive barrier to their future development. And only because they do not believe in themselves. They are too critical of themselves and thus underestimate their capabilities and skills. If you have such a tendency, it’s time to stop sabotaging yourself. How? Observe how you think of yourself. You often put labels in your thoughts and characterize yourself with not very pleasant characteristics. How to stop underestimating yourself? By taking care of your confidence and self-esteem.
It is essential to realize and accept that mistakes are part of you growing up.
And they don’t define you as incompetent, silly, or bad. Start noticing and paying attention to your good qualities. And they are so many. Notice and enjoy the small successes and victories. You managed not to get angry, and you kept your composure in a critical situation. You have shown empathy and supported someone in need. You have kept your dignity despite the difficulty and so forth. The examples can be countless. The point is to notice them, to reflect on them. Everyone has good and not so good qualities. Whichever you choose to focus on is up to you.
Let’s remember what some of the best things in life are. Maybe then we will realize that our days are not so
7. Trying to please everyone.
You don’t need it at all, because you also don’t like everyone. But the desire to please everyone has stolen so much from the beauty of life. Any attempt to please someone just to be approved by them takes you away from yourself. In order to please everyone, you betray and lose yourself. And even if you make everyone like you, it still won’t be an indicator of your worth. And you, your value, you determine it yourself with your attitude towards you.
Do you like yourself is the important question?
Do you approve of the path you are taking? Are you satisfied with the choices you make? And the strange paradox is that the less you depend on others’ opinions about you, the more they start to like you. You are important. Try to please yourself because you will share your whole life with you. The others come and go. But you will stay with you.
Get rid of these 7 things, and you will feel that you are regaining your life and the joy of life.
Sometimes, it is important to get rid of the old unnecessary burden in order to move forward. Change starts from the inside out. And every little step along the way is worth it because this is the way to you.
Stress is all around you. It’s your biggest enemy, extremely harmful to your health and lifestyle. In the

Dr. Hinohara’s advice for longevity and fulfilling life:
Dr. Shigeaki Hinohara is one of those to whom Japan is indebted for its many centenarians. He himself was a worthy example with his incredibly active life – after turning 75, he published over 150 books, including the bestseller “Live Long, Live Well“, distributed in 1.2 million copies. After celebrating his 100th birthday, Dr. Hinohara continues to treat people and give lectures. His life remains dedicated to the good cause – to guide and advise people on achieving health and longevity. In July 2017, the Japanese doctor left this world at the age of 105.
One does not get energy from food and sleep but from joy.
Do you remember how in childhood, if you had fun, you forgot to eat and did not need sleep? It’s the same for adults. You should not plague your body with strict rules of eating and sleeping.
People of all races, nationalities, and genders can live long. They have only one thing in common – there is not a single fat person among the long-lived. For example, at breakfast, I drink coffee or milk, maybe orange juice with a spoonful of olive oil – it is good for the skin and arteries. At lunch – milk with biscuits, or nothing if I’m too busy. When I work, I don’t feel hungry at all. My dinner – vegetables, some fish and rice. Twice a week, I eat 100 g of lean meat. So you should not get all your energy from food but also from joy and happiness!
“I am healthy, whole, and complete.” As you look through the following list taken from Louis Hay’
It is not necessary to retire at all.
But if this is unavoidable, try to do it as late as possible. Today, the retirement age in Japan is 65, but it was introduced half a century ago, when life expectancy was 68, and centenarians across Japan at the time were a total of 125 people. Today, Japanese women live on average to 86 and men to 80. Those who passed the 100 are 36,000 people.
To stay healthy, go up the stairs and carry your bags. I even skip steps to train my muscles.
When doctors advise you to do specific tests and recommend surgery, ask them if they would give their loved ones the same advice. Doctors cannot cure everything they tell us. Why suffer unnecessary suffering? Sometimes music and animal therapists help more than surgeons.
Pain is a mysterious thing. The best way to deal with it is to find something exciting. When a child has a toothache, it is worth involving him in play to forget the pain. There is a lot of fun in our hospital “St. Luke” – music, animals, art therapy. This helps a lot.
In this article, I will give you a priceless homemade recipe for the most powerful natural antibiotic. I
Don’t try to accumulate so many material things.
Remember – no one knows when his last hour will come. And he won’t take any of that with him.
Science alone cannot help people.
Science puts us under one denominator, but we are all different, and disease is closely related to our soul. To understand the disease and help man, we need not only science but also art.
Living long is wonderful.
Up to the age of 60, we work for our family’s good, and it is easy for us to reach the set goals. Then, however, we have to do good for the good of society as a whole. Since I turned 65, I have been working for free, 18 hours a day, seven days a week. And I enjoy every minute.
The Japanese are known for their diligence, patience, love of beauty and order, and wisdom. Today we have

Happiness is the most important engine in our lives, but we often do not understand what it is or where we can find it. We try different scenarios, hoping that we will somehow stumble upon happiness, but we are still aware of how deceptive the search can be. The truth is that sometimes tricky questions have really simple answers. This probably is the case with happiness.
These 10 inspiring thoughts will give you great insights into what makes people happy.
Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.” Jim Rohn We tend to see happiness as a goal we need to achieve somewhere in the future, not as something we can achieve right now and right here. This way of thinking actually prevents us from finding happiness in the present, when the present offers us opportunities for it.
There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved. George Sand People seek happiness in many different ways, but everyone would agree that the surest way to find happiness is to cultivate love. Sharing and receiving love makes us happy – it’s that simple.
Eleven inspiring thoughts about life, Love, friendship, optimism, enjoy reading them. “All the
Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful. Albert Schweizer
Our modern society accepts that happiness is something that only comes after we have achieved success. Successful people know that happiness precedes success. Enjoying your work and finding joy and happiness in work make us successful.
Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort. Franklin D. Roosevelt Happiness is not really about reaching a specific goal or destination but rather about enjoying the ride. Every new step towards our goal should make us happy and fulfilled. This type of happiness is not about excitement but about peace. It is stable and lasting happiness.
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. – Mahatma Gandhi Lasting happiness is not ecstatic. It is like the feeling of peace and harmony that extends to our thoughts and actions. This is possible when our actions and thoughts correspond to the deepest desires of our hearts.
It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness. Charles Spurgeon Happiness is rarely about what we have or what we can produce. It is more important that we have what we have. True happiness comes from knowing how to see everything in bright, positive light and enjoying all the things that happen to us.
Dr. Hinohara’s advice for longevity and fulfilling life: Dr. Shigeaki Hinohara is one of those to
Being happy doesn’t mean that everything is perfect. It means that you’ve decided to look beyond imperfections. Gerard Way We always strive for perfection and delude ourselves that happiness can only come from perfection. As a result, we lack happiness entirely. When we learn to see and accept imperfect things as they are, we attain true happiness.
A smile is happiness you’ll find right under your nose. Tom Wilson Happiness can be associated with outstanding achievements, but it can also be related to simple things. Sometimes all it takes to feel happy is to remind ourselves to smile and meet the world with optimism and joy. In this way, we discover that happiness has always been waiting for us.
Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions. The Dalai Lama Believing that happiness is something that awaits for us to find it somewhere in the distant future is a distorted way of thinking about life. Happiness is a product of our actions, decisions, and thoughts. It does not come to us from outside. It grows in us.
Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more. H. Jackson Brown, Jr. Selfish people never know happiness. They confuse happiness with a fleeting sense of satisfaction that, instead of leaving them satisfied, makes them victims of new desires. Truly happy people know how to escape this trap by giving more to others instead of always thinking for themselves.

The Christmas letter you have to reread every year
It’s Christmas and I have the usual problem of deciding what to give you. I know you might enjoy many things — books, games, clothes.
But I’m very selfish. I want to give you something that will stay with you for more than a few months or years. I want to give you a gift that might remind you of me every Christmas.
If I could give you just one thing, I’d want it to be a simple truth that took me many years to learn. If you learn it now, it may enrich your life in hundreds of ways. And it may prevent you from facing many problems that have hurt people who have never learned it.
The truth is simply this:
No one owes you anything.
Significance
How could such a simple statement be important? It may not seem so, but understanding it can bless your entire life.
No one owes you anything.
It means that no one else is living for you, my child. Because no one is you. Each person is living for himself; his own happiness is all he can ever personally feel.
When you realize that no one owes you happiness or anything else, you’ll be freed from expecting what isn’t likely to be.
It means no one has to love you. If someone loves you, it’s because there’s something special about you that gives him happiness. Find out what that something special is and try to make it stronger in you, so that you’ll be loved even more.
When people do things for you, it’s because they want to — because you, in some way, give them something meaningful that makes them want to please you, not because anyone owes you anything.
No one has to like you. If your friends want to be with you, it’s not out of duty. Find out what makes others happy so they’ll want to be near you.
No one has to respect you. Some people may even be unkind to you. But once you realize that people don’t have to be good to you, and may not be good to you, you’ll learn to avoid those who would harm you. For you don’t owe them anything either.
Living your Life
No one owes you anything.
You owe it to yourself to be the best person possible. Because if you are, others will want to be with you, want to provide you with the things you want in exchange for what you’re giving to them.
Some people will choose not to be with you for reasons that have nothing to do with you. When that happens, look elsewhere for the relationships you want. Don’t make someone else’s problem your problem.
Once you learn that you must earn the love and respect of others, you’ll never expect the impossible and you won’t be disappointed. Others don’t have to share their property with you, nor their feelings or thoughts.
If they do, it’s because you’ve earned these things. And you have every reason to be proud of the love you receive, your friends’ respect, the property you’ve earned. But don’t ever take them for granted. If you do, you could lose them. They’re not yours by right; you must always earn them.
My Experience
A great burden was lifted from my shoulders the day I realized that no one owes me anything. For so long as I’d thought there were things I was entitled to, I’d been wearing myself out — physically and emotionally — trying to collect them.
No one owes me moral conduct, respect, friendship, love, courtesy, or intelligence. And once I recognized that, all my relationships became far more satisfying. I’ve focused on being with people who want to do the things I want them to do.
That understanding has served me well with friends, business associates, lovers, sales prospects, and strangers. It constantly reminds me that I can get what I want only if I can enter the other person’s world. I must try to understand how he thinks, what he believes to be important, what he wants. Only then can I appeal to someone in ways that will bring me what I want.
And only then can I tell whether I really want to be involved with someone. And I can save the important relationships for those with whom I have the most in common.
It’s not easy to sum up in a few words what has taken me years to learn. But maybe if you re-read this gift each Christmas, the meaning will become a little clearer every year.
I hope so, for I want more than anything else for you to understand this simple truth that can set you free: no one owes you anything.

Most people approach their lives from a victim’s perspective.
When something doesn’t work out, it’s someone else’s fault. When their career goes awry, when they fail, or when the result doesn’t materialize, they are never to be blamed. These people let external circumstances decide their fate. They live by default.
And there are those who immediately grab every situation by the horns.
They already wake up with a plan, they clearly understand their goals, they know what needs to be done, and when something does not work out, they start analyzing what they did wrong. They know that success is a process, and they are willing to go through the process, knowing that it will lead to something greater. These people create the life they want to live and accept nothing less.
It’s easy to follow bad habits that lead to life by default. It happens all the time.
People say, “I want to lose weight,” and put another handful of crisps in their mouths. People say, “I want to get up early,” while hitting the snooze button ten times. People say, ‘I’m not happy with my work,’ but they don’t make any lifestyle changes – they just expect it to change on its own.
So if you would like to change your life read the 5 important tools below:
1. Write your main goal on a sheet of paper.
Write down your goal on a piece of paper, and then repeat it out loud every morning and every night.It may sound silly, but try it for a month and see what happens. This firmly implants in your subconscious what you are working on and helps attract into your life what you need to bring it to life.
2. Surround yourself with people you want to be like.
People who live by default live around people who live by default. Similarly, people who create their own lives live next to people who live the same way.
Choose your friends carefully.
As the saying goes, “You are a reflection of the five people you spend the most time with.”Ensure that the people who fill your life and your time are people who live up to your principles. Ideally, these people should be even slightly ahead of you, forcing you to keep growing in the direction you want to go.
3. Set goals and achieve them.
Set goals.
Setting goals is easy, but very few people follow through with them. People who make their own lives practice the habit of setting goals and achieving them. No matter how big or how small, they set goals and achieve them. This constant practice allows them to set bigger and bigger goals and see them through to completion.
4. Don’t be afraid to go your own way.
If you want to design your life, you must be willing to let go of people and environments that no longer serve a standard way of thinking. Everyone will insist that you are “crazy.” Everyone will point and share their opinions, and then somewhere in the future, they will all come back. They will see the life you have built for yourself and ask how you did it.
5. Be disciplined.
If you really want to Create your life, you must exercise discipline.
This is important because the problem with a number in life comes down to saying no. To be who you think you are, to get where you want to go, you have to say “no” a hundred times more often than you say the word “yes”. You have to stay true to yourself and your mission, and the only way to do that is to have a powerful sense of self-awareness and discipline. The best way is to create habits in your life that you will never give up to anyone.
These habits are much more than just actions in themselves.Take going to the gym, for example. Depending on how you feel about it, it’s not just ‘the gym’. It’s a practice that you commit to every day, and it’s through this commitment, you make very clear (to yourself and others) what you want and don’t want to do.
Take good care of your time.
Create your life.
LIFE IS WONDERFUL!

Meditation for beginners aims to provide easy meditation tips to your daily practice.. Meditation is the art of focusing 100% on an area. Practicing it brings multiple health benefits, such as increased concentration, reduced anxiety, and an overall sense of happiness.
Although many have tried meditation at some point in their lives, only a few continue this practice in the long run. It is unfortunate, and the probable reason is that most beginners do not start with the necessary setting to turn meditation into a sustainable, useful practice. So use this meditation guide for beginners in order to start your journey into meditation.
The purpose of this article is to provide 20 practical meditation tips to help beginners overcome initial difficulties and make meditation a part of their daily routine.
Meditation for beginners – 20 meditation tips for beginners:
Make meditation a regular practice. The only way to go to the next level in meditation is to set a time to be alone and calm (1 or 2 times a day).
Start breathing. Deep breathing slows the pulse, relaxes the muscles, focuses the mind, and is ideal for starting your meditation practice.
Stretch first. Stretching relaxes muscles and ligaments by allowing you to sit (or lie down) more comfortably. Also, stretching initiates the process of “traveling inward” and further draws attention to the body.
Meditate on purpose. Beginners need to understand that meditation is an ACTIVE process. The art of focusing on a specific point is a difficult task, and therefore you need to be more focused!
Notice when the feeling of helplessness creeps into you. And accept it! This is quite common among beginners, and they begin to ask, “Hey, what am I doing here?” Or “Why can’t I calm my damn mind yet?” When this happens, just focus on your breathing and release the feeling of helplessness. Give your thoughts a right to exist and just watch them instead of getting angry at them. Acceptance is the most direct path to any success!
Experiment. Although many of us imagine real meditation as sitting in the Lotus position under a tree, beginners need to experiment more and try different meditation types. Try sitting, lying down, with eyes open or closed, etc. There are no hard and fast rules here. The important thing is to befriend the process!
Feel all parts of your body. It is an excellent practice for beginners to pay attention to their bodies when the meditative state begins to envelop them. Once the mind has calmed down, focus all your attention on the feet, and slowly move up the body (including the internal organs). This is very healthy and shows that you are on the right track.
Choose a specific room in your home where you can meditate. It is best if it is different from the room where you work, play sports, or sleep. Place candles and other spiritual items to help you relax. If that’s still not possible … set aside just a corner to charge with that energy. There is always a way. Don’t let circumstances stop you.
Read a book (or two) about meditation. For some of you, it may be helpful to read an instruction manual or a book that talks about the meaning of deep meditation. This will motivate you.
Commit to the long term. Meditation is a lifelong practice, and you will benefit most if you do NOT measure the results daily. Just do the best you can every day and then get rid of the thought.
Listen to meditations online, meditation discs, or visit a place where someone guides you through the process. This is the fastest way to feel the experience!
Create moments of awareness during the day. Feel your breathing and be “present here and now” – even when you are not in your meditation time. This is a great way to improve your meditation habits and relax your mind.
Make sure you are not disturbed. One of the biggest mistakes that beginners make is not providing suitable conditions for meditation. If you constantly think that the phone may ring, the kids may wake up, or the kettle may blow, you will not achieve a state of deep relaxation.
There are often ups and downs in our lives, success, failure, gain, loss, joy and disappointment, pain,
Notice the small signs of adjustment. For beginners, even the slightest physical movement can turn meditation from disturbing to refreshing. These signs of adjustment could go almost unnoticed by a bystander, but they can be extremely important to your practice. Notice your every progress and every response of the body, and be grateful for them!
Use a candle. Closed-eye meditation could be a big challenge for a beginner. Lighting a candle and using it as a focal point will allow you to increase your attention with the help of a visual sign. This can be very powerful.
DO NOT stress out. This is probably the most important piece of advice for beginners, but it is the most difficult to follow. Whatever happens during your meditation, don’t worry about it. You may feel nervous before meditation or angry after it. Meditation is what it is, and just do the best you can at the moment. These reactions are part of the cleansing process, and just try to accept them with gratitude!
Make it together. Meditating with a loved one can have many excellent benefits and improve your practice. Still – it is advisable to agree on some basic rules before you start so that there is no unnecessary stress.
Meditate early in the morning. Undoubtedly, the early morning is the ideal time to practice: it is quieter, your mind is not full of everyday problems, and the chance of being disturbed is less. Make it a habit to get up half an hour early to meditate.
Finally, be grateful. After you finish the practice, take 2-3 minutes to thank for the opportunity to meditate, focus, and relax your mind. Thanks to this tool that helps you find and love yourself.
Notice when your interest in meditation begins to wane. Meditation is a difficult task, and you will undoubtedly reach a point where it will no longer fit into your overall picture. THIS is when you need your practice the most, and it is advisable to then return to the practice or even intensify it. Usually, the fact that you lose your ability to focus on meditation is related to your inability to focus on other areas of your life!
Meditation is a beautiful practice, but it can be challenging at first. Use the meditation tips described in this article to go to the next level and reap a new sense of life and inner peace!
Is meditation for anxiety working? Yes, basically every meditative practice will help diminishing anxiety and stress in your daily life, especially if you add it in your daily arsenal of tools.
