About the Author

Hi, I’m thin thin and I’m the writer of this eBook: My Healthy Lifestyle Habits. I’m sure

you must be wondering right now what kind of name is this? Well, I was given this name

after many comments on how I remain relatively slim and healthy despite my big appetite

and many endless meals daily. Is it genetic? Well, perhaps… but my 3 brothers are on

the heavier side so I would like to think that it’s due to the lifestyle that I adopt that made

me the way I am. After all, people always say “you are what you eat”!

My Dearest Mummy and Brothers…

First of all, congratulations on downloading this e-book. Yes, they have changed my life and I am sure

it will too for you! The beauty of this e-book is that it’s no rocket science and absolutely do-able if you

put your heart to it.

How these 12 Habits Changed My Life?

I have been an active boy since young; from badminton to tree climbing to swimming

against the river current, I enjoyed them all. As I grew, the “sportsman” in me continues

but I was exposed to the more appropriate exercises and routine that best fit my physique

and lifestyle. For me, it’s not just about exercising for the sake of exercising but also

enjoying the particular sport that I took up.

I also started to think deeper into my diet and mental well-being after seeing my family

and friends getting ill at such young age. I have a family history of heart problems and all

of us in the family have high cholesterol level. When I did my test and saw my cholesterol

level, I was shocked and thought that there’s nothing I can do since it’s genetic. My doctor

told me to try reviewing my diet and do a follow-up test 3 months later. If my cholesterol

level was not reduced, I will have to take medication for life! This is definitely not the kind

of lifestyle I see myself in so I took his advice and researched into foods that will reduce

cholesterol level.

To my pleasant surprise, my cholesterol level went down by 100mg/dL and I was not

required to take any medication at all!

It was through episodes like this that reminded me to eat what’s best for me and I

rediscover the magic of ginger, garlic and oat. 3 very basic food items that are easily

accessible and yet, they are so powerful. You will read more in my e-book…

Another great habit that I picked up is reading and I don’t mean novels here. I was

introduced to a varied collection of good books that have helped me tremendously in my

business, my personal perspective and the way I handle relationships. I begin to be less

self-centred and see things in a more objective and genuinely positive manner. I learnt to

deal with problems instead of avoiding them and it has helped to remove mental clutter

and keep a clear mind for me. This clear mind of mine has enabled me to take on more

fulfilling roles in life and I’m very thankful for them. But well, I’m still learning everyday

and that is why it motivates me to start this humble platform to share with like-minded

individuals on not just living, but living it absolutely well!

Take some time to read and I hope they served as gentle reminders to you and your loved

ones. Let’s not take the simple things for granted and staying healthy is not difficult after

all.

Now, let’s enjoy reading this as much as I enjoy putting them together for you.

Habit #1: I learnt to choose what I eat instead of controlling the quantity

I am often one of the last person left on the dining table and many a times, my family and

friends will comment on how much I can actually eat! Yes, it’s true; I enjoy food, I eat

many meals but yet, my BMI is still on the healthy side.

Perhaps I have a good metabolism system but my secret lies in choosing what I

eat instead of eating lesser.

Reducing the quantity of the food that we consume is practically the primary

advice offered by the majority of diets if we like to maintain or control our body

weight. If we just focus too much on eating less and lesser each time just because

we want to lose weight, it will not be effective in the long term as this will affect

our body growth and cause us to miss out on the nutrition that we need. Of course

the quantity will make some difference to our size but the major change that

should be considered would be still the food choices we opted.

The type of foods that we consume is far more important than the quantity for our

health and weight. Nearly 800 calories out of the total amount of 2000 calories

per day comes from fats and oils.

If we take a look at where the animal fat comes from, we will easily understand

why will we gain weight so quickly. Every animal has a fat storage area that is

used in numerous food recipes. Therefore, we practically consume the fats that

were stored by the animal. Our metabolism burns off only a part of these fats,

leaving the rest to reach our fat tissues.

Some people believe that by eating only chicken, lean beef or fish meat, they will

be able to prevent fat storage, but this is not necessarily true. We can say that

these types of meat contain fewer calories compared to pork or beef, but this does not

mean that they do not contain calories at all!

In conclusion, when we are talking exclusively about meat, we are talking about important

amount of calories, regardless of the source. A very low-fat food would be the potato,

which contains important amounts of carbohydrates and minerals. However, when you

mix the potato with vegetable oils, this will increase the amount of calories as well. While

Written Exclusively to subscribers of http://www.TheInspirationalMoment.com © All Rights Reserved 2013-2017

a baked potato contains nearly 100 calories, french fries contain approximately 3 times

more. So if we are thinking about replacing meats with foods rich in vegetable oils, think

again!

Now in order to take control of our weight and live a healthy life, we should consider a

plant-based nutrient rich diet. Following a diet that is based mostly on greens, vegetables,

fruits, beans and whole grains will help us to eliminate all high fat dairy products from the

menu and enjoy a natural and healthier lifestyle. Once we start eating these nutrient rich

products, we will not want to go back to the junk food again!

Habit #2: I learnt to adopt my blood group diet

Do you know your blood group? I knew mine only when I volunteered for a blood donation

exercise. I then begin to wonder if our blood type has any bearing on our health

predisposition and started researching on it.

I found that our predisposition toward some of the most dangerous diseases can

be determined by our blood group. In addition, the type of biochemistry on which

our digestive system is running can also be discovered through our blood group.

You may be able to consume some sorts of ingredients without any problems,

while other individuals may suffer from bloating, indigestion or diarrhea after

consuming the exact type of ingredients or food!

By eating the right food according to your blood group not only minimizes health

issues but also enable your body to absorb and maximize the nutrition from the

food. These nutrients are then incorporated well into our body system and

eventually lead us to a happier body!

A popular doctor believes that the secret of a diet based on the blood group of an

individual is the reaction of the blood to lectins - a group of proteins present in

some particular foods. The doctor affirms the fact that the negative interactions

of these lectins with the blood can cause numerous diseases. Each blood group

has evolved over the years and being influenced by the environmental conditions

in which people lived in a particular period. So the interesting question here is

have we ever asked ourselves “Are we eating RIGHT on each meal?” or just

merely filling up our stomach?

Written Exclusively to subscribers of http://www.TheInspirationalMoment.com © All Rights Reserved 2013-2017

The main blood groups and what should we know about them:

Blood Type O

The most resistant digestive system belongs to individuals with Blood Type O. These

individuals eat meat on a regular basis. Besides the protein they ingest from the meat,

Blood Type O individuals also need vegetables and fruits to sustain a good health.

The negative aspect consists on the fact that they cannot digest carbohydrates

properly. Moreover, the dairy products need to be rarely consumed, while following

a high animal protein and low carbohydrate diet.

Blood Type A

This group of people is composed of farmers and grain gatherers since the Blood

Type

A person has evolved from the hunter to the agrarian. Their digestive system is

really fragile. Apart from the fact that they do not tolerate animal protein efficiently,

they should also stay away from lactose and stick to a vegetarian diet.

Legumes, fruits, veggies and whole grains are great foods for Blood Type A people,

who should avoid any animal protein and dairy products consumption. Due to their

high quality vegetable protein, Tofu and Hawaiian Spirulina are two great foods for

individuals with this type of blood.

Blood Type B

Even though there are some exceptions that should be avoided, people with Blood

Type B can eat practically anything due to their tolerant digestive system. Some of

the foods that they should avoid are: corn, buckwheat, lentils, peanuts and sesame

seeds, but they will do great with all the other types of food.

Blood Type AB

People with Blood Type AB practically combine the characteristics of those with Type A,

with the characteristics of those with Type B, regardless if they are negative or positive.

Written Exclusively to subscribers of http://www.TheInspirationalMoment.com © All Rights Reserved 2013-2017

Apart from tomatoes, people with Type AB can respect the indication provided for Type

A and Type B.

So next time when you are preparing or choosing the food for your meal, do spend a little

time and plan on what are good and will benefit you most according to your blood type

and you will be eating your way to great health!

Habit #3: I learnt to take as much vitamin B as I do of vitamin C

I take an average of 3 types of supplements daily and none included vitamin B until I

chanced upon an article that highlights the powerful benefits of vitamin B! Like most

people, I thought that vitamin C is the most important and it’s good enough if I consume

it diligently.

In fact, our body cannot afford and function efficiently if we are lacking vitamin B. I found

myself more resilient and free from illnesses after I started to consume vitamin B. In

addition, I was a lot more energetic and alert throughout the day and feel less lethargic.

In addition to supplements, I start taking in more vitamins from various means such as

from healthy and balanced meals on a regular basis. Since then, I noticed a great change

and I am now healthier, more energetic and less likely to fall sick!

For hundreds of years people have been consuming vitamins in order to maintain their

health. The most diverse type of vitamins on the market is type B. The scientists have

discovered this important vitamin simply by combining some chemicals together.

Variations such as B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9 and B12 have been created after the

scientists have recognized the complexity of the vitamin B.

Written Exclusively to subscribers of http://www.TheInspirationalMoment.com © All Rights Reserved 2013-2017

A healthier and cleaner skin, an increased metabolism and a better immune

system are just some of the common main benefits that the vitamin B family can

provide for our body. Moreover, stressed or depressed people can also improve

their state with the help of this vitamin! Vitamin B also plays a very important role

in cell metabolism. For example, vitamin B1 has some positive effects upon our

nervous system and our psychological state. This popular vitamin can also

improve our intellectual performance in a considerable way. Besides, vitamin B1

also plays an important role in carbohydrate metabolism and it is absolutely

necessary for the proper functionality of the nervous system. This vitamin brings

a very important contribution in maintaining smooth muscle tone. By interfering in

many important biochemical reactions within the carbohydrate metabolism, we

can say that it acts like a coenzyme!

Some of the common symptoms such as diarrhea, anemia, weight loss,

depression, chronic fatigue, etc are usually due to deficient in vitamin B. In fact,

studies have shown another member of the Vitamin B family- B12 is so vital to

infant and if B12 deficiency in infants and if they are not detected and treated

earlier and properly, it can lead to severe and permanent damage to the nervous

system!

By looking at how vital and critical Vitamin B to our body, it has to be included to

be one of the most essential vitamins and we should search for ways to include

these vitamins in our every day meals if we like to achieve a better healthy living!

Habit #4: I learnt to eat more ginger, garlic & oat. I am the LIVING proof!

You will probably wonder why I choose to share about these 3 seemingly unrelated and

unattractive food items? Well, that’s because I always hear people saying that eating

healthy is expensive and inconvenient so I would like to share that you need not always

go for fancy organic, fat-free, less sweet, less salt type of food items to enjoy a healthy

diet!

Written Exclusively to subscribers of http://www.TheInspirationalMoment.com © All Rights Reserved 2013-2017

These 3 items have helped me personally in bringing down my cholesterol level and

alleviating pain and discomfort. Read about them, try them and enjoy the perks

that they bring!

Ginger

Never undermine the benefits of this simple food! There’s a long list but I’m just

going to share with you the 3 most useful health benefits that I have benefited from

ginger:

Stomach Disorders – Ginger efficiently cure stomach disorders. When I am having

gas, motion sickness, nausea or diarrhea, the first saver come to my mind is

ginger! By just drinking a cup of tea or warm water with ginger juice or slice in it,

my problems will easily be control or gone instantly!

Cough & Throat Discomfort - Another popular remedy is to treat cough; individuals

that experience respiratory tract infections and bronchitis can also benefit from the

important qualities included by ginger. This is especially effective when you drink

it with your tea or warm water before bed and early morning!

Muscle Pain – Ginger contains inflammatory properties and thus, it helps to relieve

tense and sore muscle. I find this very useful as I exercise a lot and this has proven

to be a consistent aid for me!

I personally recommend and find the best way of extracting the benefits of Ginger

is just simply adding some ginger juice or slices to your tea or hot water and I find

this is an extremely economical yet effective way of treating some of our daily living

challenges!

Garlic

Garlic, Latin name Allium sativum, belongs to the onion family Alliaceae including shallots,

and leek. Garlic has been used throughout recorded history for both medicinal and

culinary purposes. In fact, it has become one of the most useful and versatile items in

kitchen and its all-time favorite for chefs!

Written Exclusively to subscribers of http://www.TheInspirationalMoment.com © All Rights Reserved 2013-2017

Garlic is another of my all time favorite item! It’s not only tasty but FULL of health benefits!

We all use garlic in our recipes for its tasty and healthy benefits, but few know of the

complexity of important compounds included in this traditional plant. Today, garlic is a

widely recognized health enhancing supplement. Garlic promotes the wellbeing of the

heart and immune systems with antioxidant properties and helps maintain healthy blood

circulation. One of garlic's most potent health benefits includes the ability to enhance

the body's immune cell activity and fight off all gems and bacteria!

The active component in garlic is the sulfur compound called allicin. Allicin is the

chemical produced when garlic is chopped, chewed, or bruised. Allicin is quite

powerful as an antibiotic and a potent agent that helps the body to inhibit the ability

of germs to grow and reproduce. In fact, it's said that 1 milligram of allicin has a

potency of 15 standard units of penicillin. There are countless studies published

around the world that confirm garlic can reduce cholesterol. Besides, most recent

studies shown that Garlic is known to stimulate T-lymphocyte and macrophage

action, promote interleukin-1 levels, and support natural killer cells. Strong activity of

these key cells promotes healthy immune system function, and strengthens the

body's defenses towards Heart Related problems.

Oats

Although this may seem like a boring food, I must say it has amazing benefits that

have really benefitted me.

Cultivated especially for its seed, oat is a common species of cereal grain. People

usually consume oats in the form of oatmeal and rolled oats because it is high in

fiber. Apart from the fact that it is really low in fat, oats can be very useful for those

who want to follow a carbohydrate and protein diet and achieve a healthy, strong

and beautiful body!

Another key benefit is that it lowers cholesterol and I had a big dip in my level of

cholesterol after consuming it regularly for just 3 short months! People with heart

problems should consume oats regularly too because they contain special fiber that can

reduce LDL, called beta-glucans. Moreover, important quantities like magnesium, calcium,

phosphorous, selenium, magnesium and zinc can also be found in oats.

I love my oat and oat bran with unsweetened soya milk in the morning. It’s tasty, it fills my

stomach and I know it is working really hard inside my body to maintain a healthy

cholesterol level.

Habit #5: I learnt to brisk walk instead of run

Once, my doctor asked what type of exercises I do and he was surprised when I

mentioned brisk walk as one of it as he was expecting me to say running instead. Many

a times, people associate walking with the more senior folks and feel that running is then

the true exercise. Don’t be mistaken….

While running can bring about some heart problems and degenerate your knee in the long

run, walking is totally safe and a healthy way to use the same amount of energy.

The studies were performed on a number of runners and a different number of walkers.

What was really surprising to discover is that, even though they have consumed the same

amount of energy, those who have brisk walked in the study have experienced greater

health benefits and encounter minimum sport related injuries.

Written Exclusively to subscribers of http://www.TheInspirationalMoment.com © All Rights Reserved 2013-2017

It took six years for the scientists to observe all of the effects that occur on

individuals who were aged 18 to 80. The risk of heart disease was reduced

by 9.3% on individuals who have walked, compared to only 4.5% on those

who ran.

The leader of the study, namely Dr. Paul Williams, stated the following:

"Walking and running provide an ideal test of the health benefits of

moderate-intensity walking and vigorous-intensity running because they

involve the same muscle groups and the same activities performed at

different intensities."

"The more the runners ran, and the walkers walked, the better off they were

in health benefits. If the amount of energy expended was the same between

the two groups, then the health benefits were comparable.

Walking 60 to 90 minutes each day, enough to cover a five-mile round trip,

will burn approximately 500 calories. This will result in a one-pound weight

loss each week. In addition, walking strengthens the large muscles of the

abdomen and legs, resulting in greater bone and joint health. Because of

this overall strengthening, walkers experience less compression of the lower

back and avoid this common source of chronic inflammation.

Walking outdoors in the mid-morning sun holds another gift -- the ability to

absorb vitamin D. The body needs this essential nutrient to transport calcium

into the bones. This is necessary to prevent osteoporosis, a weakening of the bones, but

it also lowers the chance of breast and colon cancer. Walking outdoors has an added

psychological benefit. While exercise raises the level of the neurotransmitters that help

you register pleasure and fight off depression, sunlight exposure prevents seasonal

affective disorder!

Lets start this simple yet benefits packed exercise soon and you are one step closer to

the better health!

Habit #6: I learnt to cool down as much as I warm up after each work-out

As simple as it sounds, I can confidently say that cooling down is the most

forgotten part of the exercise for most people! While most of us spent time

warming up our bodies and preparing it for the work-out, we are often so

exhausted post work-out that we take the cooling down for granted.

Some exercises may considerably increase our heart rate, so a cool down

session is definitely a MUST! MUST! Cooling down our body after exercise

reduces our heart rate and will lead our mind and body back to our regular state

and momentum and in return, it will minimize a lot of unnecessary sports injuries.

I enjoy high impact sports such as tennis and competitive badminton. I always

encounter sore muscles and aching after my exercise and sometimes to the

extent that my mind is over active and could not sleep at all at night! After much

research, I realized it was due to the lack of cooling down after my intensive

exercise! My doctor has also warned me of fatigue and possible heart attack if I

were to skip the cooling down session.

Remember, exercising is meant to bring positive effects to our health so let’s not

take the short-cut and complete the activity to enjoy maximum benefits. After all,

how much time can a cool down session take right? I take only 5 minutes ☺

Habit #7: I learnt to take my water intake and sleep seriously

How many glasses of water do you drink a day? How many hours of sleep do you

get a day? Is it a 8-8 for you? If it is, congratulations! Because you are one of the

very few people who do so… We must have heard this since young but yet and again,

how many of us actually follow?

Written Exclusively to subscribers of http://www.TheInspirationalMoment.com © All Rights Reserved 2013-2017

We need water to function and the lack of it means that we are not functioning at

our optimal. While we get water from most food and beverage, it is still the fresh,

plain water that is the best and healthiest for us. It is the most natural cleanser

for our organs and digestive system. Being hydrated is crucial for the brain as

well as for helping to flush toxins out through the skin (perspiration) and urine.

Besides, water plays an important role in respiration, digestion, elimination,

maintaining temperature (homeostasis) and metabolism.

For me, I always have a bottle of water with me before I sleep and that is the

first thing I consume when I wake up every day. Out of sight, out of mind so

keep it by your side and it will always be on your mind! On days that I allow my

hectic schedule to take over my health, I can feel the difference quite

immediately so don’t think that drinking little water is fine cos it’s definitely not

even though you don’t feel the effects now! Dehydration can lead to kidney

diseases, constipation, irritable bowel syndrome and even joint pain.

The same goes for sleeping! Most of us simply ignore this core fundamental

and think that we can always repay the lack of sleep during weekends or when

we go for holidays! The truth is, there is no such thing as sleep debt, you

cannot repay later.

Do you know that our body manages and requires sleep in much the same way

that it regulates the need for eating, drinking, and breathing?

Many of us try to sleep as little as possible. There are so many things that seem

more interesting or important than getting a few more hours of sleep, but just as

exercise and nutrition are essential for optimal health and happiness, so is

sleep. The quality of your sleep directly affects the quality of your waking life, including

your mental sharpness, productivity, emotional balance, creativity, physical vitality, and

even your weight. No other activity delivers so many benefits with so little effort! So let’s

change this mentality and start taking your sleep seriously and you will discover you will

have much more to offer in life!

Habit #8: I learnt that dental health is as important as other health issues

I am sure that when it comes to brushing teeth, many of us take it as just another daily

hygiene routine but we don’t realize that it’s so crucial that it will cause us dozens of other

health issues if our dental care is being neglected!

I have always thought that I keep a healthy dental regime with brushing twice a day and

regular visits to the dentist. Until one day, I found out that my gums are actually bleeding

and I constantly have bad breath despite after cleaning. Then I discover that I had

periodontitis (gum infection) and this requires intensive cleaning for an extended period

of time.

Throughout the process of getting it treated, I was educated on how this gum infection

has other implications of my health and started to take an even more conscious effort to

get it well. I also remembered that my mum was advised to have a thorough cleaning

session with the dentist prior one of her surgery as oral health has an impact on the

infection control.

“People don’t realize that dental disease can cause serious illness,” said Dr. Irvin

Silverstein, a dentist at the University of California at San Diego. “The problems are not

just cosmetic. Many people die from dental disease.” A lot of folks know that bad dental

hygiene can cause gum problems, cavities, and other oral infections. However, what they

do not know is that it can also affect the other parts of the human body. Below are just

some of the problems you might be facing if one lacks of proper dental care:

Written Exclusively to subscribers of http://www.TheInspirationalMoment.com © All Rights Reserved 2013-2017

1. Heart Diseases: People suffering from periodontal diseases are twice

as likely to develop arterial narrowing and heart ailments since the

bacteria can enter the gums. Bacteria contain a clot-promoting protein,

which may clog the arteries, causing an increased risk of cardiac

problems.

2. Respiratory Issues: Bacteria owing to periodontal disease may travel

through blood to the lungs and aggravate respiratory problems

especially in patients who have already been diagnosed with

respiratory conditions. The person might have increased risks of acute

bronchitis and pneumonia.

3. Diabetes: About a majority of adults who have been diagnosed with

diabetes have advanced conditions that lead to loss of teeth. This

happens because patients suffering from diabetes are more likely to

contract infections. Diabetes makes you likely to face gum risks as well

as develop further diabetic complications.

4. Infertility Issues: Why some women just cant conceive? It has been

established by scientific research that gum diseases can increase the

time required for a woman to get pregnant. The study has seen that

these women took at least 7 months to conceive, as opposed to their

peers who took 5 months without gum disease.

5. Cancer: Men suffering from gum disease were about half as likely to

develop kidney cancer, pancreatic cancer and blood cancers.

So boys and girls, think twice and good dental care is not just a cosmetic routine… it is

part of holistic care!

Habit #9: I learnt to understand and accept that everything happens for a reason

I have finally come to the conclusion that everything happens for a reason and

we should accept things the way they are. When certain challenging encounters

happen, most people will be reacting with negative responses such as “why did

it happen to me”, “I am in deep trouble”, “I cannot handle that”, etc.

However, have we ever asked ourselves will that encounter change or become

better with our negative responses or complaints? The answer is NO! When

something unpleasant has happened and we can’t turn back the clock, we just

need to let it go and come to terms with it. After all, time will heal and when you

look back one day, you will definitely understand and appreciate that things have

happened for a reason.

We must look at it as a learning experience and stay calm and positive and

should think of constructive ways to tackle it instead of reacting or responding it

with complaints! By accepting the situation and handle it positively and tactfully

will not only make things easier to be tackled but it will help us to develop a

better, clearer and healthy mind.

Many of the experiences that you will encounter in your life will influence not only

your thought patterns, but your personality as well, so never regard a situation

or a particular feeling as being permanent or bad too early! Sometimes you just

never know whatever just happened might seem bad to you but it might turn out

to be a blessing to you! Accepting all of the things that come into our lives is

something that we all must learn to accept and receive it with a positive and

open mind.

We need to approach every experience with a positive mindset, regardless of the final

outcome. We should learn to accept every change that occurs in our life and view them

in a positive perspective, even though some of them may bring us suffering or other

negative emotions for the moment.

We can view any situation in our life from two different perspectives. The first one will be

to accept it with a peaceful state a mind and see the positive outcome, while the second

Written Exclusively to subscribers of http://www.TheInspirationalMoment.com © All Rights Reserved 2013-2017

one would be to be miserable and fight against the universe. You can maintain your inner

peace and happiness when you accept things as they come, regardless if we are talking

about a severe loss, a sudden change or a missed opportunity.

In order to move from feeling happy to being happy, you need to transform the momentary

happiness into long-lasting happiness, which can be possible only through acceptance.

There are some particular moments in life when you need to persist and other moments

when you need to accept, so you must learn to distinguish those moments!

By creating a list of all possible explanations behind your experiences, you will be able to

build your acceptance much easier. Every time you help somebody or take time to listen

to a person’s problems, you practically fulfill a purpose. You will be able to embrace every

Habit #10: I learnt that it is ok to have differing perspectives, just don’t impose

Probably all of us have engaged in contradictory discussions in which we were convinced

that we are always right. Our perspective is responsible for what we believe to be right or

wrong, so we need to analyze the matter of having different perspectives and views when

it comes to dealing with others.

In order to find greater solutions to a problem, we need to view things from different

perspectives. Everybody sees things in a different way. We all have created our personal

perspectives from past experiences, beliefs, motivations and concepts that we have

regarded as being true. However, if they are true for us, it does not mean that they are

true for everybody else.

Sometimes, in order for us to judge things closer to their real meanings, we need to sum

up all of the perspectives and then work to establish a best and possible solution. Many

people believe that by looking through or agreeing to the other person’s perspective, they

will probably lose their argument or get a disadvantage. However, this can be quite useful

if you want to obtain a better understanding of the situation, both through your eyes and

the other person’s eyes.

Therefore, if we want to find the most ideal solution for any given problem, and prevent

any kind of compromises, we are advisable to include the other person’s perspective in

our way of thinking. By carefully listening to what the other person has to say and trying

to see what he or she sees, we will be able to perform a practice called empathetic

listening. This will allow us to add another viewpoint to our thought pattern without losing

our own perspective.

You may find this quite useful since empathetic listening may correct your viewpoint in

some situations. Try to put yourself in the other person’s shoes before you decide to judge

him. You will be able to understand their perspective only when you understand their

actions and feel their motives. Being ignorant will only ruin your chances of extending

your perspectives.

However, once you manage to understand the motives powering another person’s actions,

it does not necessary mean that you should agree with them. Finding the best possible

solution to a situation is possible only when you limit your ego and see things through a

larger perspective. So let’s remind ourselves be more open minded, understanding and

receptive to other’s opinion and perspectives each time when it comes to any discussions

or meeting and with that, we will discover a lot more and new perspectives and

opportunities in life! Remember, it’s ok to be different, just don’t impose your views on

others and respect differences.

Habit #11: I learnt to think positively even in difficult times

We face issues and challenges in our daily life. Everyone has their own ways of dealing

with them. Some may take it hard and negative while others may choose to deal with it

more light-heartedly and positively. Whichever way we choose, we cannot avoid them

and just have to deal with it eventually!

However, if we know that we are going to face them anyway, why don`t we deal with them

in a positive manner with the right mindset? Challenges will be solved and settled easier

or more effectively when our mind is right, strong and positive! We tend to have better

idea and more ways to solve the issues. Keeping a positive attitude, expecting the best,

striving to do the best and refusing to indulge in self-pity, negative thinking and worries is

the road to a better, happier and healthier life!

We have enough worries daily; “I can’t do that”, “I am worried”, “I don’t think so”, “I don’t

have confidence”, “I am afraid of”, “impossible”, etc. Therefore, we MUST shift these

negative thoughts to the positive ones if we expect things to turn to a better outcome or

result! We need to set up a strong and positive thought pattern for ourselves if

we wish to obtain a better relationship, have more confidence and success in

everything we do in life. Have you heard of “the power of our subconscious

mind”?

Negative thoughts bring negative effects! It triggers our mind to a certain extent

that leads us to a destructive way of tackling challenging matters and even cause

anxiety and depression to some individual if its not treated earlier and tactfully!

Having a calm and positive mind is extremely important as it plays a vital role

when it comes to dealing with crisis or critical situation. Crisis or problems will

never be solved effectively if we are in panic, behaving negatively, nervous etc.

Here are 5 simple ways to shift to our positive self-talk channel:

▪ Check your state of mind. Start by creating your own positive attitude and

emotions and do not let anyone else ruin your confidence!

▪ Focus on today. Put the past behind you and move forward to a positive

future!

▪ See the big picture. Do not waste any time on negative thoughts and ask

the universe to offer you better things in your life!

▪ Release negative expectations. Learn to practice positive expectations

and do not pay attention to what others expect you to do in certain

situations!

▪ Be thankful. Once you learn how to be thankful for what you have right

now in your life, you will see that the universe will offer you more reasons

to increase your happiness!

Let’s start applying the above to our daily life and take baby steps to becoming a genuinely

positive person! Remember, positive energy attracts positive people and happenings!

Habit 12: I learnt to live by my own expectations, not others

Every one of us has a dream or different expectations in life. There are no two persons

that are exactly the same. The way in which we manage our expectations and situations

is critical for our own happiness and daily life.

Attending to each and every situation with an open mind would help us to avoid any kind

of frustration or anger that might occur from a particular situation. Stop expecting certain

things from a person or from a situation and see things exactly as they are. Once we stop

creating any preconceived notions, we will become more peaceful in our daily life.

We can be easily disappointed or hurt when we create unrealistic expectations of certain

individuals or situations in our life. In order to create some realistic notions of the people

around us, we will need to maintain an accurate awareness of our own realities.

When you expect something from a person, you are constantly applying pressure on

him/her, and this can lead to numerous conflicts in the future. It can be quite difficult to

understand this situation because if you have high expectations of somebody or

something, you may be disappointed.

But when you do not have these expectations, you will probably not try hard enough to

accomplish your goals. Because of this paradoxical issue, many people eventually have

or will transform into perfectionists. This transformation can have negative impacts on

their health.

The best thing that you can do is to create only expectations that you know you can reach

or within your reach. Never give up on your positive aspirations and be confident in

everything that you do. However, never create expectations or aspirations that are out of

your reach!

We need to understand that each of us has our own ways of doing things and at times we

will hear others come and tell us how bad, ridiculous or how their

expectations are different from us! Let me tell you this, that is perfectly

okay!

Just remember and put it this way, as long as we have done our very best

and put in our best effort, it is perfectly fine to do it our own way with our

own targeted expectations. We just need to learn to accept and respect

their opinions and perspectives although at times, it can be completely

against our perspectives. It can be extremely stressful and unrealistic if we

create unrealistic expectations in a particular situation just because others

feel that we should follow the ways they implement things or expect things

to be done in their way. In life, never restrict and force yourself to do things

to fulfill others’ expectations. Rather, do it with your own best possible effort

and expectation and you will see much better achievements and cultivate

a long-term positive mindset and healthy self-confidence.
