Wellness Tip for Peace: Stop the hurting to one's self because we restrict to love the one we choose to love. Forgetting the person or abandoning the most important person in our life is the most painful thing to do. So, let go and free the self from the bondage of pride, just love and let nature take its course. Loving is respecting the dignity of the person, protecting them from harm, providing their needs, supporting what is most important to them and being there anytime to make them the best person that they can be!

It is selfless, actually and sometimes it will really take time for us to really love the one we choose to love. Loving is easy when we are ready to get into it already because we were able to heal ourself from the pain in the past, we are already matured to know who we want to love and why we choose this person. When we know ourselves more, the easier for us to give our heart. When we still have the fear of the unknown of what lies ahead after loving, and when we are still holding on to our pride that we are hurt because our standards our not met, we are still young teens with fragile heart. But, experiences made us strong and made us learn more about life. It takes a certain stage of maturity to give our heart in full and just let that person we choose to take it away. There are tears of joy and there are tears of pain in loving. When we are in the stage that we shrug-off the pain because the joy of loving is better, then we are ready. When we choose to keep the person in spite of everything, then we are ready.

Wellness Tip for Peace: If they are for you, they are not against you. Loyalty is the measurement of the depth of your friendship, not sweet talks or nice gifts

Don't be blinded with sparkles because not everything that glitters is gold. To test the loyalty of your friendship is to see if your friend can betray you in the middle of conflict. When under pressure, will they crack and let you go. Those who are for you will stay up to the end, and those who are not will leave you. Work with those who are not against you to maintain your focus. Do not dilute your energy by pleasing everybody. Maintain your composure and work only with the best! The best are tested by time and in the process of looking who they are, loyalty matters more than anything else.

Wellness Tip for Peace: Innate Beauty is Loving Kindness - it shows in the eyes, it reflects in the smile, it radiates in the face and manifested in the body. Anger ruins the innate beauty. How does innate beauty lasts? Can we be free from anger forever? Can we always exude the loving kindness forever?

Anger are by-products of accumulated frustrations because of our quest for perfection in everything we do. Since we see ourselves perfect, we expect people around us to be perfect, and when they failed to our expectations, we lose our temper and eventually our poise. Anger made us ugly. So how do we manage? Work from the heart, not on the mind. Do not over-analyze but take time to step back and meditate in your own private and comfortable space away from the person causing you to be angry. Use the moment of meditation to clean your heart from all the negative emotions by accepting the person's personality as is! Do not make any effort to change the person, but accept the person's existence in your life as the spice that triggers you beyond the extraordinary! Make a decision if you really need to be with this person causing you to be angry, if you do, lose the pride and accept that you do! Do not deny but embrace and work on the differences one step at a time. Be real and be honest on what you want and say it slowly according to the way the person can understand. Do not assume that the person can read your mind. Say what you really mean, then mean what you say.

Wellness Tip for Peace: You must really like it to get it! When you really want to pursue your dreams, you will find time to know everything to satisfy your mind of the knowledge you need to produce the will to act and make your dreams a reality. You will not wait for others to move you but you create your own passion to achieve it because you really like it!

Be confident with your dreams and work on it! Do not compare yourself with others because you will either become vain or bitter. You have a mind set of your own and you do not allow anyone to dictate you on what you want. You know what you want and what you need. You can only have the full conviction to do it if you really like it. When you really like it, your passion overflows and your desire to get it is so strong that you will always find a way when there is already no way. You can break the odds, you can defeat your opponents and you will succeed. You do not compete with anyone but you only compete with yourself to overcome your weakness and come out the best that you can be!

Wellness Tip for Peace: Be Cautious at Work & Be Inspired. Work gives happiness everytime it produce good results and that happens whenever we maintain our concentration. Work is practical meditation for as long as we keep our focus.

To be cautious is to let all our senses function simultaneously in clear vision and motion. When we maintain our focus at work, we can get hold of unnecessary emotions. Our passion is geared towards our work and not to something else ( or someone else). Since work is dependent on our own efforts, we can more or less measure the output at the end of the day based on the amount of efforts we shared. It gives enjoyment everytime deadlines are met on time and we make our co-workers and the rest of the team happy. Work has no emotions, humans have the emotions and stress mismanagement happens when both are intertwined to one another. The solution is to segregate one from the other. Take work as a cold matter and humans as hot matter and deal with it seperately. Work is measurable, humans are not. Deal with "Work" according to quality deadlines while deal with "Human" emotions on the professional level according to their significance in your life. Be brave and kind to face the pressure of both without avoiding one from the other.

Wellness Tip for Peace: Be aware, Beware. Enjoy your journey with love in your heart and no amount of hate will trample you!

Be ready. Be aware! If you say it fast, it sounds like "Beware!" Be cautious. Be informed. Do not assume, ask. Be alert and know your destination. People expect a lot from you and they demand that you excel with your work. They do not know the hardships that you've gone through before you've met them. So, do not expect that they will understand you right away. Maybe in time, but do not waste the time waiting that people will adjust to you. You know what you want and you know the path that you choose to lead your life. Armed with your knowledge, wisdom and experience, be confident and go through it. Never than ever doubt yourself by not being too dependent on what other people will say about you. Respect your mind and trust your heart! Exist with life and be active living it. Enjoy your journey with love in your heart and no amount of hate will kill your character.

Wellness Tip for Peace: Support Your Partner

Some people need other people to keep them intact. They are normal. They are intelligent and they even have marvelous leadership, but they cannot function very well without a supportive partner. If you know anyone who have this kind of need, just be there and make them feel that you believe in them. You do not need to pamper them or take care of them full-time, just be there. Your sincere and kind hearted presence is more than enough to boost their morale and uplift their spirit.

Wellness Tip for Peace: To avoid confusion, be real. If we come to meet the person causing us confusion, we leave our imagination behind. We face the reality of knowing the truth. We learn to see everything in clarity...

Because there will be no confusion if we face reality directly from the source of our anxiety. Meeting the person personally and directly will make us confirm the truth in our imagination. When imaginations are broken down into reality, we leave the superficial world and we come down to our senses in the real world. As meeting progress and cards are laid one by one, we come to know the truth. The sooner we do this, the easier for us to clear our mind. And as Sir Yehudi Menuhin wrote "It cannot be done just by imagining what would it be like to do it. There is only one way to do it, and that is to do it"

There’s nothing wrong in choosing to remain single or be in a relationship. Both have their merits in their own right. At the end of the day, whether heartbroken or emotionally strong, every person learns to flow with the ebb of time and find happiness in life. But the very completeness of life is a definition that is subjective to personal experiences.

"While every single guy will gladly embrace singlehood with open arms, as opposed to the emotional roller-coaster of a relationship, what no one will tell you is that no matter how blissful life is, there will always be something amiss without love in the picture. The benefits of being single are plentiful, but they cannot oust the feeling of being needed or loved. While most people are upfront about their feelings and can quit a relationship with dignity still left, they’d agree that living on their own can never mirror the deep satisfaction of being loved. Singlehood is freedom no doubt, but enjoying this freedom alone can become tedious in the long run. After all, every bird takes flight only to come back home to its caged confines.

Wellness Tip for Peace: Friends are forever. Honesty to your thoughts and politeness to communicate can keep it stable.

It is presence even in absence, instead of absence even in presence. We are all busy and erratice because we have to work for our living. We are lucky enough if we have a friend or set of friends who are there for us when we need them. To keep the friendship away from malicious intention and impurities requires deep honesty, and the most effective way to say our innermost thoughts in a manner that our friends wants it to be. Guarding our emotions not to hurt our friend is ok but sometimes we cannot help it, especially if it will already requires us to sacrife our principle or "what our conviction" to certain issues are. We do not need to lose our self just to keep a friend because later on, this filed-up emotion of irritation will erupt like a volcano! So say it, be firm with it, BUT before you do it, know deeply the personality of your friend. Usually the easiest way to know a friend's principle is to ask them a hypothetical question, the first answer that he/she utters without reservation is actually the thought that he/she has. Well, only you knows if your friend is lying or not. But you will know on the extemporaneous and outright answer that your friend will utter! Be sensitibe and always check your presence of mind and not just the presence of your spirit in the situation.

Wellness Tip for Peace: Love by nature is complicated because our personalities are also complicated. Survive the course, be still and enjoy it!

One practical advice is to take away emotions, and you will be at peace. But that is only intended for robots, because even humanoids can get hurt. Emotions makes us alive! Loving is a very good emotion, and also the worst emotion if not handled very well. It is the most passionate and the hottest of all the emotions available. The amount of love that a person gives varies according to his/her personality. The personality which is basically dimensional in nature as a by-product of the person's DNA, environment and choices made. That's why love, literally is complicated. Relax and find ways to work on it. Learning how to love will make you busy, alert, and smart. In fact, it can release the best and worst in you. Come to think of it, love teaches us how to survive life, literally, in the practical sense of it!

Wellness Tip for Peace: In every dark corner, we need light. Be the light. You shine because they need you!

What is ironic can work to your advantage. Lights can be seen because there's darkness. If you are enlightened and you carry your wisdom to solve even the most darkest situation, you will shine. Maintain the purity of your heart and the light of life will pass through to enlighten the pathways of others who are lost. Take time to lead others who needs your guide. Be firm, clear and direct to the point. Do not nurse their emotion like a nanny, but teach them to be a leader, independent and emotionally stable. Take care of your thoughts and keep it clean, free from the harmful radicals found in our planet. Detoxify, de-stress, and be ready to open your heart to love humans and animals for what they are. Inspire everyone to embrace the culture of peace. Do not be passive, do not be aggressive, but be peacefully active in deeds! You can do it! Trust your light and keep it!

Wellness Tip for Peace: People persecute each other so its natural that you are also persecuted. Do not be disturb by them. They have thieir own problems to solve. Focus on your work and keep it holy.

Your actions shows your character. You will not gain respect by what you are saying, but by what you are doing. Keep your self holy, away froom intrigues and rumor mongerers. If you are attacked, face it, say your point professionally. End the discussion and go back working. Do not spend too much time with people who complain because those people need a therapists. If you are therapist, go ahead and plunge yourself, anyway you will be paid by your service. But, if you are not, step back to avoid draining yourself. Those people doesn't deserve your time yet, while they are sick. Recommend them to an anger management group or keep your silence by praying for their soul to attain enlightenment. Learn how to delegate your peace work by endorsing a difficult person to those who can handle them personally on a one-on-one basis. Your responsibility is to influence peace work to a multitude of people and you cannot afford to drain yourself by one hardcore "Hater". Take these as a test of your patience, virtue and professionalism to your career as a Peace Leader. You are a leader who knows how to delegate with grace, politeness and courtesy.

Wellness Tip for Peace: Healthy body weight helps maintain a healthy brain. kidney and heart. Make yoga, walking and sports a daily routine to protect your body and your environment.

Dieting is not a solution to reduce weight. Shift to healthy lifestyle is the solution to clean the body and clean the air we breath (less carbon, good air). The habit of not smoking, eating veggies and fruits 6x a day, or eating one big plateful of fibers instead of carbohydrates, regular detoxification, and taking long walks, or jogging, practicing the silence of yoga, playing sports of your choice are few of the basic lifestyle that humans must do to keep the earth healthy and peaceful. Ideally, all children should start this, but if one is already an adult, the maximum age that one should start is 30yrs old to give the body more time to adjust and master the new lifestyle. So, that he/she can still enjoy long life instead of dying at the age of 55yrs old. The shift to healthy lifestyle also prevents depression as the body's metabolism is always busy to clean its toxins and burn its fats, naturally with less expenses and less trouble to the environment. This shift will also make humans better citizens of their country by helping their country clean the air. It also teaches humans to be independent, responsible and discipline.

Wellness Tip for Peace: You exude the light, because within you there is peace

Your subconcious is very powerful. Your thoughts can control you. Let the light within you grow and shine in full bright. Take care of your peace within. Reconcile thoughts that rattles your personality. Keep your private time and silence. Choose your partners wisely at home, at work, at play. Know your boundaries, and be firm to set your personal discipline in maintaining a healthy heart. Cultivate your emotions by learning people's reactions. When you are hurt, don't take it personal. No one wants to harm you for as long as you do not plan anything to harm them. Be careful with your thoughts for your voice will speak it and your body will show it. Thus, keep yourself pure, always and forever. Do not rely on other people. Be responsible to your own safety. Remember, love begets love, and hate begets hate. When you feel you cannot face it, sleep, recharge, eat well, get some fresh air, walk,until your back to your senses. Life is good, and we are the one who makes our subconcious mind to think good. Do not forget that in everyone you meet, you are precious and one of a kind, because you are their gift! You are the angel that exude light!
