RE: The Incredible Female Achiever (T.I.F.A)

Hi @markkenard, I totally agree with what you've said. Happiness comes from within and right now, not when I .... Getting rid of all negativity is also a method to be happy in your lives since those people are soul-sucking vampires which sucks out your life battery.

Well said @tifaong everything we think is a choice. We just have to choose happiness and choose to never get stressed

Yeah, exactly. We always need to be conscious of what we choose to think :)

Getting to a state where we can empty our minds is also a big benefit. I learnt how to meditate about 25+ years ago and when you do it for a long time you get to a point where your mind is always quiet unless you choose to think about something. You also never wake up in the middle of the night worrying about anything because when you reach that state you stop dreaming. It’s been years since I had a dream. Some people may think that’s a bad thing but it’s not. It’s a just a symptom of a quiet mind. My wife says I’m the most chilled out person she’s ever met. I work on commission only and sometimes in quiet periods with no sales I get close to having a zero bank balance but still my mind is quiet as I don’t worry about it. With faith and mindfulness we may not always get what we want but we always get what we need. Meditation, faith and daily prayer asking for help and strength always gets me through. Meditation is a very good skill to learn. Our conversation has given me a great idea for a post so thank you for that.

Wow, so one of the long-term effects of meditation to you is, peace of mind became a habit, a natural process for you. This is the first time I've heard of it. All these while people have been portraying it's a conscious effort. In your case, I believe in the beginning you put in effort, but eventually it became natural, is that right?

Your circumstances made me think, sometimes we worry too much on petty stuff, aren't we?
I'm practicing meditation too using a meditation app on my phone. Everytime after meditation, I feel energetic, recharged and at peace. I love that feeling! 💖💖

Really? I'm looking forward to see that post of yours 👩

When I would go to bed when I was young I would find it hard to get to sleep because of all the voices in my head. They were the sounds and voices of everything I had heard that day and everyone I had heard. It was like trying to sleep in a crowded room with everyone talking. Meditation stopped all that. So it not only gave me peace of mind but also peace and quiet. Keep an eye out for my post. I’ll probably write it tomorrow
