about yourself.
Use positive affirmations, such as "I am a wonderful creative person" or "I have
everything I need to enjoy my here and now." Affirmations are short positive comments
that are made in the present tense. (You say "I am... " not "I will be....".) These can be
written down, or repeated through out the day, or however you find works best for you.
Use Creative Visualization. If you can't picture yourself being happy, how do you expect
to become happy? A simple visualization might simply be sitting quietly and picture a
light shining down over you, filling you with joy.
Send positive energy out to other people!! Do good deeds in secret. Give to the Universe,
and trust the Universe will be generous in return.
Be kind to your body. Your body is a marvelous, wonderful part of you. Treat it kindly.
Drink enough water. Give it loving excercise, and the nutrients it needs. One of the ways
I do this is by throwing various fruits into a blender and making a thick healthy mixture
to drink. Snack on carrots. A healthy body is magic.
Be thankful. Say thanks for all the wonderful things in your life.

General information: Conflict As Our Teacher

The nature of every relationship is to present us with challenges that are
important for our spiritual growth. Learning to be in right relationship with
the world in which we live and ourselves is the primary reason that we as
human beings exist. Sharing our lives with others is a life long journey that
requires skill. Each and every human being has differences and difference is always
going to be a part of every relationship. The difference between relationships that work
and those that don't is how well people deal with the conflictive challenges that are
bound to come up.
We all have our own unique way of thinking, feeling, seeing and expressing ourselves.
Too many of us tend to assume that we know when our knowledge is rarely complete, as
everything is always in a constant state of flux and change. Many of us often become
very emotional and/or angry when we experience people with values and beliefs that
differ from our own. If we are not able to accept the incompleteness within our limited
knowledge then conflict as our teacher always arises. It is born to make us more aware of
how we are responding to the differences at any given point in time.
At the core, conflict is often about unhealthy psychological needs from the past that have
not been resolved. When these unmet needs surface, we tend to react in a defensive and
self-protective manner. We usually do not give any benefit of doubt, because we are
putting our energy into reliving these unhealthy negative experiences in our mind. This
enables us to justify our inability to exercise self-control and lash out.
In reality people can not know instinctively what another may want and need. Therefor,
