It is extremely important to remain 'okay' at all times, irrespective of whether the situation is in your favour or not.

When you are 'not okay', everything around you irrespective of how favourable it is, will seem to be 'not okay'. And, if you are always 'okay', everything around you, even if unfavourable, would seem 'okay'. This is the key that defines how you choose your experiences.

This choice that one can make to experience the events in their life is one of the biggest contributors to your mental wellness.

This 'not okay' is a vicious cycle : not being okay - doubting if you have the required resources - thinking whether you are making correct decisions - doubting your own intentions - leading back to further being 'not okay'. It always spirals down.

Understand the basic principles behind how to always stay okay - okayness, resourcefulness, best choice, positive intention and see all your experiences transforming to fulfilling ones.

People usually think that Good < Better < Best < Perfect.

Correct?

Completely wrong in today's scenario.

The chase for perfection is eating up people from inside. It seems that everything around you is perfect - then why would you not want the same in your life?

Some people are chasing it for themselves while some are chasing it for others. After all, who wouldn’t want to have perfection in their lives – perfect personalities, perfect bodies, perfect relationships, perfect jobs, perfect children – the list just goes on and on. While you keep chasing perfection, it keeps eluding you.

The truth is, this chase for perfection is deeply troubling you from inside. It leads to a lot of negative emotions and shakes up your mental wellness.

Measuring Up is something you do all the time to determine your self-worth, to see if you are good enough or not. The issue is, this never ends.

It's a never-ending journey, and is done to either show yourself or to others that you are good enough. Once a milestone is achieved, another is set, and it goes on and on.

You use certain parameters or metrics to measure up; and these metrics assume an all-consuming importance in your life. Everyone has their own unique set of metrics which they use to measure up, and no two sets of metrics are ever the same. Out of all your metrics, you always have one prime metric to which you give maximum importance.

This measuring-up business leads you to a lot of negative emotions, and makes you expend a lot of efforts. But, these efforts never seem to be enough - there is always more to be done or achieved.

It's high time there is an overall reframing of your metrics! It is high time you stopped torturing yourself.

Everyone indulges in Comparisons; and everyone ends up feeling discontent!

All of this has become a natural part of life, but does it really need to be?

Comparing comes very naturally to you - it's because it has been deeply encoded into your DNA as a feedback loop. Unfortunately, the main reason why it got coded-in no longer applies to most people. But the habit of comparing continues, thus bringing in more discontentment.

It is absolutely important to understand where all this comes from, what is it's founding reason, what form has it taken today and why it leads to so much discontentment. It is very important to deal with it immediately so that you can bring in contentment into your life and everything that you do.

A lot has been said about Mental Wellness; but not enough is being done towards it.

In fact, 'not enough' is one of the starting points to this entire issue. We are, after all, living in a culture of 'more is better'.

Everyone goes about their life with a sense of inadequacy & 'not enough' ("I am not enough, I don’t have enough"). This has a huge negative impact on your life.

It is critical to reframe this entire thought behind 'not enough'. It is absolutely important to start with the attitude of "I am enough" and "I have enough".

Become more aware of what 'not enough' does to you; analyze how this is affecting your life; realize why 'enough' is one of the most critical things in your life; take immediate action on being enough; experience mental wellness.

People face stress in different aspects of their life. Stress has become such a common thing that it has assumed pandemic proportions. 'Being stressful' has become a regular state for most people today. Something needs to be done about it right away!

How you deal with your stress matters the most. Stress has developed a lot of negative connotations. Stress is actually not at all negative; in fact, if dealt with properly, it can be a great positive. It has been our age-old friend, and it is a necessary ingredient to growth and evolution.

It's very important to understand stress in detail - how it originates, who really causes it etc. It's critical to reframe everything you know about stress so that you can deal with it effectively and harness it for your maximum benefit.

Reframe your stress as a growth catalyst; stop calling it an inhibitor!

Bring in a greater awareness of what stress really is; understand how stress originates in life; analyze how it is affecting you and your life; take action to deal with it; harness your stress for your benefit; experience growth in your life!

We are living in extremely stressful and frustrating times! It is very important to keep re-orienting yourself to the state of being that you desire.

Sometimes, this happens externally - because of something changing around you. But, most of the times, this happens internally - because of what you change in yourself.

Pretend-Play is something that kids do daily, but it has huge lessons and takeaways for adults in particular.

Pretend-play is a much-needed bridge to change your current (unfavorable) state into the one that you desire, a favorable state. It is when you think, act, behave and live as if you have already achieved the desirable state of being.

It is something that is much-needed in your playbook right now!

Develop a greater understanding of what pretend-play is all about; analyze yourself and become more aware of how this could positively impact your life; take steps to incorporate this pretend-play into the relevant parts of your life; experience play, flow and growth in all these aspects of your life. 

Your beliefs in life may actually be restricting and limiting you!

Beliefs govern your entire life, everything you do. You tend to live your life based on the beliefs that you carry. You view all your experiences in such a manner so as to confirm your beliefs; all you’re actions get aligned in such a manner to prove your beliefs to be true!

Every evolution and advancement that has happened in the last million-or-so years has been only because someone broke the then-existing belief systems and thought afresh, in an unlimited and expanding manner.

This is a very powerful thought to become aware of, and to practice on a regular basis. It is one of the best ways to live an upgraded life.

Expand your understanding of what beliefs are; become aware of how these beliefs govern each and every aspect of your life; think deeply and analyze how this impacts you and your life; take immediate steps to break your beliefs; experience growth and advancement in all aspects of your life.

You need to ever make only one of two choices in life: either belong to and live in your 'here' & 'now' or just don’t.

Most people put all their efforts in trying to escape their 'here' and their 'now' - they are always running away from these, trying to live in some other time (the past or the present) or trying to live in some other place (a space which is far away from their own self).

This is one of the most important ideas to understand and act from in life. Once you do, your life gets upgraded to a level you never imagined, you start feeling much more powerful, and you have a true shot at exploring and living your full potential in life. This is because everything real and meaningful happening in your life is happening only in your 'here' - your space - and your 'now' - the current moment. Everything else is pure unreality.

Dive deep into what it means to live in the 'here' and 'now' and become more aware; understand why this matters to you in your life; gather ideas to analyze where you stand in all of this; take action steps to rectify the same; fill your life with joy and contentment.

After all, the power of making the choice…

…to live a joyful and content life…

…to invite fulfilment into your life…

…to live an AlphaLife…

…is yours and yours alone!

Everyone thinks that the stuff happening in their life is the only real thing in the world; but when everyone thinks like that, it creates the space for multiple versions of the same reality!

Think of the times you wished for things to be different, for things to change. All of those are times when you felt stressful about whatever was happening in your life. All of those are times when you were living in absolute unreality.

When you see people around you, you can mostly see that those people are being unreal; it is acknowledging this within yourself (that you may also be living in unreality) that is the most difficult.

But, the sooner you understand this, acknowledge this and accept this - that you tend to live in unreality and your reality needs to be acted upon - the sooner your life becomes better.

Unreality is all mind stuff and imagination while reality is what is actually happening - the truth.

There are big upsides to acknowledging and acting from your reality - no pending baggage, experiencing everything afresh, feeling completion in everything and with everyone, movement and growth in life, feeling authenticity, joy & contentment…..the list is endless.

Become aware of what is reality and what is unreality; understand why it is important for you to understand this; analyze which one do you give more importance to in your life; act on it immediately; upgrade your life and fill it with joy.

And, when you really acknowledge, accept and deal with your reality…

…your life feels joyful, fresh, authentic and complete…

…you find life to be more fulfilling and…

…you start living your AlphaLife!
