Read when you miss the past | Tales of Maya

I want you to know that it's OK to miss the past, that you can let someone go and still love them with every atom of your soul. I want you to understand that, it's OK to feel lonely and sometimes it's OK to hurt when you remember how they once loved you and now, all the beautiful memories have become painful to remember. I hope you won't mistake your loneliness for his absence. When you feel this feeling creeping inside your bones, remember that you don't long for him. You don't need him. You long to be loved. You long to be craved.

You miss being in love, you miss being someone's favourite hello and his hard goodbye. You don't miss him, you just miss the love. Every time you feel like going back to him, remember the nights you spent feeling like you never mattered. Remember how lonely you felt even when he was around you. Remember how your heart still aches when you remember how they made you feel. Darling, I want you to remember that your past shouldn't be alive right now making you ache to the point of wanting what's gone.

Remember the reasons why they left. Darling, the sun still shines on the dead crops, and so, it's OK to love, it's OK to love even the ones who are gone. What's not OK is wanting to go back. What's not OK is still reliving every memory. What's not OK is still beating yourself for what's gone. I know you're feeling empty, like a deep hole within that can never be filled. You feel as if something is missing, you feel like your smiles are empty. I want you to know that it's OK to feel this way, that healing takes time. 

Darling, of all the things you've lost, you miss yourself the most. The longer you hold onto something, the deeper the wound. Leave the past where it rightfully belongs. I hope you give yourself time to heal, time to understand yourself. I hope you'll always remember to look beyond the pain, i hope you'll always look forward to new beginnings. There's always something worth living for, something better than past. There's always someone worth living for and that someone is you. I hope you remember to love yourself on these days.

Set Boundaries | Sylvester Mcnutt

Be intentional about setting a standard for how you will and will not be treated. 

Set your boundaries and stick to them so others know how to treat you.

When people treat you like you're garbage, look at them right in the eye and say, "I'm not the one," and then walk away.

The 8-hour workday is too profitable for big businesses

The 8-hour workday is too profitable for big businesses, not because of the amount of work people get done in eight hours (the average office worker gets less than three hours of actual work done in 8 hours), but because it makes for such a purchase-happy public. Keeping free time scarce means people pay a lot more for convenience, gratification, and any other relief they can buy. it keeps them watching television, and its commercials. it keeps them unambitious outside of work. We've been led into a culture that has been engineered to leave us tired, hungry for indulgence, willing to pay a lot for convenience and entertainment, and most importantly, vaguely dissatisfied with our lives so that we continue wanting things we don't have. We buy so much because it always seems like something is still missing.

Who is your life partner?

Who is your life partner?
By Sri Sri Ravishankar

Mom? Dad? Wife? Son? Husband? Daughter? Friends? Not at all! Your real-life partner is your body. Once your body stops responding, no one is with you. You and your body stay together from birth till death. What you do to your body is your responsibility and that will come back to you. The more you care for your body, the more your body will care for you. What you eat, what you do for being fit, how you deal with stress, how much rest you give to it; will decide how your body is going to respond. Remember, you body is the only permanent address where you live. Your body is your asset/liability, which no one else can share. You body is your responsibility, because you are the real-life partner. Be fit. Take care of yourself. Money comes and goes. Relatives and friends are not permanent. Remember, no one can help your body other than you.

Self-betrayal and how to heal from it

Self-betrayal can look like this:

1. Breaking promises you've made for yourself,

2. Not honouring your beliefs or core values,

3. changing your authentic self around people to please them,

4. Making life decisions based off what other people want you to do,

5. Continuing to engage with habits, patterns or beliefs that no longer serve you.

Healing self-betrayal

1. Keep small daily promises to show that you can trust yourself again (be consistent).

2. Start saying "yes" ONLY when you feel like saying "yes" and "no" ONLY when you feel like saying 'no'.

3. Follow and listen to your inner guidance (e.g.: make life decisions based off what you think is best for you, not what others want you to do).

4. Envision your future self and set the intention each morning to accomplish one thing that day brings you closer to who you want to become.

5. Use tools like meditation, journaling and breath-work to help you get through difficult emotions while embracing these changes.

Fancy quotes from Carl Jung on The Shadow Self

• “Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual’s conscious life, the blacker and denser it is. If an inferiority is conscious, one always has a chance to correct it. Furthermore, it is constantly in contact with other interests, so that it is continually subjected to modifications. But if it is repressed and isolated from consciousness, it never gets corrected.”
– Carl Jung, Psychology and Religion

• “Dark night of the soul” sounds like a threatening and much to be avoided experience. Yet perhaps a quarter of the seekers on the road to higher consciousness will pass through the dark night. In fact, they may pass through several until they experience the profound joy of their true nature. There is no coming to consciousness without pain. People will do anything, no matter how absurd, to avoid facing their own soul. One becomes enlightened by making the darkness conscious.

• Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes. – Carl Jung
