Who Should You Date, According to Your Horoscope?

April 19, 2020 by Power of Positivity

Have you ever wondered who would make your ideal partner? A horoscope can often reveal the characteristics and personality traits of zodiac signs. Knowing a person’s qualities and features can give you an idea of compatibility to help you determine if you are compatible with someone. Many people believe that some signs are more compatible than others.

While some people are skeptical when it comes to a horoscope, others believe that it’s very accurate. However, according to recent data suggests that the principles of astrology are proven to be scientific.

You can have fun reading about a person’s horoscope and which signs best suit you. Additionally, you can utilize the information as a tool to help you find the perfect mate.

Aries

The Aries is most compatible with: Leo, Sagittarius, Gemini, and Aquarius. Sometimes Libra is a good match, but this sign is opposite Aries.

Aries is a Cardinal Fire sign, and the Ram represents them. Fire signs are more outspoken and like to take the lead. They are also independent, enthusiastic, and adventurous. When you date an Aries, you will quickly find out that they wish to be in control. This determination makes it very challenging for other cardinal signs like Libra, Capricorn, and Cancer to date them.

The best matches are air signs and fire signs. The air signs Gemini and Aquarius stimulate and feed the fire. Other fire signs such as Sagittarius and Leo keep the relationship exciting.

Sometimes Aries and Libra are a good match. There will be a lot of magnetism because opposites attract. However, there will have to be plenty of compromising with both individuals.

Taurus

Taurus is most compatible with: Virgo, Capricorn, Cancer, and Pisces.

The Taurus is a Fixed Earth sign, and the Bull serves as their symbol. This sign is practical and very stubborn. If you date a Taurus, you will soon discover that they do not want to budge on their beliefs or ideas. However, they are very loyal and dependable.

The best mate for a Taurus is another earth sign. Others who share the earth element are Virgo and Capricorn. Water signs are also a good match for Taurus. Although water and earth together can be challenging, the love connection is often indisputable.

Pairing two Taurus individuals may be a bit tricky. Both individuals may be too stubborn and create more friction than it is worth. However, their relationship could be a blessing if they can maintain a little bit of excellence and compromise.

Gemini

Gemini is most compatible with: Libra, Aquarius, Leo, and Aries.

The Gemini is a Mutable Air sign. The Twins symbolize this star sign. When compared to other mutable signs, the Gemini horoscope compatibility love matches are not as laid back or straightforward. In truth, Gemini’s often date more than one person at a time because they get bored quickly. If you’re dating a Gemini, keep in mind that they continuously need intellectual stimulation; otherwise, they wander. Gemini’s also like to do everything together.

A Gemini is intelligent, witty, and thoughtful. They pair well with another air or fire sign. An air sign such as Libra or Aquarius will give them the intellectual stimuli that they crave. A fire sign such as Leo or Aries will stimulate their ideas.

Sometimes Gemini and Sagittarius make a good pair. On a date, both are very flexible and able to adapt to change. As well, both signs are interested in collecting knowledge. However, these two signs are the opposite. Both parties need their freedom. To balance their independence can be rather tricky.

Cancer

The Cancer horoscope sign is most compatible with: Pisces, Scorpio, Taurus, and Virgo.

Cancer is a Cardinal Water sign, and the Crab represents them. Cancers are very emotional and sensitive. And like a crab, they quickly put up walls and hide behind a shell. This sign needs someone who is a homebody and will be emotionally supportive. Cancers are also very nurturing and loyal when they are in a loving relationship.

The ideal mate for a Cancer is another water sign. Pisces and Scorpio understand the emotional depths of a Cancer. Two water signs together create a lot of passion. Cancer is also compatible with an earth sign such as Taurus and Virgo. Earth signs offer a lot of emotional support and grounding. Both earth signs will be reliable and reassuring, especially a Taurus.

Leo

Leo is most compatible with: Aries, Sagittarius, Gemini, and Libra.

The Leo is a Fixed Fire sign. The Lion represents this star sign. When they walk into a room, they always have center stage. Even when Leo tries to hide, everyone still notices them.

This sign is one that stands out from all the rest of the zodiac. Astrologers suggest that a person’s birth can have long-term effects on personality. In this case, Leo’s pizazz fits the bill. They are definitely a fun date.

Leos are loyal, charismatic, and incredibly romantic. This romantic lover pairs well with another fire sign or an air sign. An Aries or Sagittarius is an excellent match for a Leo. The pairing of fire signs creates a lot of passion and immense dedication to each other. Leo and an air sign like Libra or Gemini can be very rewarding. However, Leo and Gemini can have trouble communicating, which may lead to arguments.

On the other hand, Leo and Libra together make a fantastic pair. Libras enjoy receiving love and attention from their dates. Likewise, the Libra is always attentive and caring and will stoke the Leos ego when needed.

Virgo

Virgo is most compatible with: Taurus, Capricorn, Cancer, and Scorpio.

The Virgo is a Mutable Earth sign. The Virgin represents this sign. When you read a Virgo’s horoscope, you will find that they are somewhat analytical, hard-working, and have exceptionally high standards. When they marry, they will marry for life. They are also quite selective when it comes to dating and strive for perfection. Frankly, they are happy by themselves. Also, Virgo is very introverted.

On the whole, Virgos match well with an Earth or Water sign. Earthy Taurus and Capricorn are more planned and scheduled and not very spontaneous – these are traits a Virgo looks for. Water signs also make a good partner for Virgo. The emotional water of Cancer and Scorpio brings intensity and passion to the relationship.

Libra

The Libra is most compatible with: Gemini, Aquarius, Leo, and Sagittarius.

Libra is a Cardinal Air sign, and the Scales symbolize them. They are a very friendly sign that needs stimulation intellectually. Indeed, a Libra pairs best with someone they can talk with for hours.

The ideal date for a Libra is romantic and stimulating. They also demand harmony in a relationship. Libra needs balance. Besides, this sign likes to be “in the driving seat.”

The best mate for a Libra is a Fire sign. A Leo or Sagittarius will keep them stimulated and romantically inviting. Another air sign is also a good match. Gemini and Aquarius are great at having stimulating conversations.

Sometimes an Aries is a good match for Libra. Since opposites attract, there can be a lot of passion. However, the desire can quickly fizzle out, leaving only frustration and pessimism between the two.

Scorpio

The person born of the Scorpio sign is most compatible with: Cancer, Pisces, Virgo, and Capricorn.

Scorpio is a Fixed Water sign. The Scorpion symbolizes the sign. The love of a Scorpio individual is very passionate and intense. Their partner must have the same capacity as their emotional intensity. Otherwise, they do not feel satisfied.

Scorpions can be very intense with their philosophy or religion. They are often the Fortune-tellers or mystics and sometimes even a priest. According to Astrologer, there are many skeptics in the world when it comes to the zodiac. However, Scorpios are generally not one of them.

The best match for a Scorpio is another water sign, either Cancer or Pisces. A water sign is a counter-balance for the Scorpion’s intense emotions and intuitive disposition. Water signs also like to relax in a quiet romantic setting, which will establish tight bonds between individuals. Also, an earth sign is compatible with a Scorpio. Both Virgo and Capricorn will allow Scorpio to take the lead and will understand and be patient with their dominance.

Sagittarius

The Sagittarius is most compatible with: Aries, Leo, Libra, and Aquarius.

Sagittarius is a Mutable Fire sign. The Centaur represents this sign. Those born under this star are fun-loving, adventurous, and very independent. They are the bachelors and bachelorettes of the zodiac. In truth, they are not known for their fidelity. However, once they fall in love, they are wholly committed. Yet again, they will quickly leave if you try to stifle their independence and freedom.

A date with a Sagittarius is very adventurous, intellectually stimulating, and fun. People quickly fall in love with their exceptional ability to romance and charm. Sagittarians pair well with fire signs – Aries and Leo. The Aries individual loves the challenge of a Sagittarius. Leo also likes adventure and freedom.

The Archer or Centaur pairs well with the air signs because of the intellectual stimulation. An Aquarian and Sagittarius together are too casual and will typically drift apart. However, the best match for a Sagittarians is a Libra. They both love their freedom, like interacting with other people, and need to discover new things. Besides, their humor aligns perfectly.

Capricorn

The Capricorn soul is most compatible with: Taurus, Virgo, Scorpio, and Pisces.

Capricorn is the cardinal Earth sign. The Goat represents them. Those individuals born of this sign are hard workers, responsible, and very organized. When it comes to dating, Capricorns are cautious and very particular. Their horoscope clearly shows that they don’t like lazy people and want to be with someone responsible.

The best match for a Capricorn is an earth sign. Both Taurus and Virgo are compatible with the Goat. The practical Capricorn needs the other earth signs because they are also organized and grounded.

Water signs are also a good match for the goat. The emotions of a water sign can soften the pressure Capricorns put on themselves. A Scorpio and Pisces have a connection with a Capricorn to make a healthy and loving relationship.

Aquarius

This sign is most compatible with: Gemini, Libra, Aries, and Sagittarius.

Aquarius is a Fixed Air sign, and the Water Bearer symbolizes them. Aquarians are free spirits, intellectual, and creative. Aquarians also love their independence and freedom. The Water Bearer desires someone who is very independent. However, they also want to know that the other person is always there for them. In turn, Aquarians love to be attached, yet they don’t want others to be wholly reliant upon them.

When it comes to compatibility, Aquarians pair best with other air signs, Gemini and Libra spark the Water Bearer’s intellect and keep things interesting. As well, fire signs keep the Aquarian entertained and energized. Both Aries and Sagittarius have a great imagination and are very stimulating.

Pisces

This sign is most compatible with: Cancer, Scorpio, Taurus, and Capricorn.

Pisces is a Mutable Water sign. The Fish represents them. Those born under this star are emotional, sensitive, and very complex. The Fish spends a lot of time in “the clouds” daydreaming and fantasizing. Pisces often think about their “dream” love or soul mate.

The Pisces horoscope for love is always supportive, compassionate, and sensitive. They are also very intuitive and will always be there for you.

The ideal Pisces match is a water sign–either Cancer or Scorpio. Cancer will be protective, caring, and active in the relationship. A Scorpio will take the lead. They will also generate a dreamy, romantic, and fulfilling relationship with their Pisces mate.

Earth signs are also suitable for a Pisces. A relationship with a Taurus or Capricorn will start slow but will be long-lasting. They are also very supportive of one another.

Final Thoughts on Finding Your Horoscope Love Match

Some people swear that following the stars sends them down the correct life path. Recent data, as indicated earlier, now seem to support the validity of following your horoscope. If you’re looking for your best love match, look to the stars as your guide.

A Thank You Note To My Future Self

April 19, 2020 by Power of Positivity

Dear Future Self,

Call me old-fashioned, but because in this day and age we have not yet perfected an apparatus in which self-talk throughout the years is possible, I am left with no choice but to write you this quick note.

Self, if there is anything you should do right now, stop and be grateful!

You only have to take a look around you. All this is because of everything I have done in the past and am doing now FOR YOU! Millions would walk thousands of miles to be in your shoes, hungry for the things you enjoy and take for granted.

I want you to know that you mean everything to me, and I am so happy and grateful that I am staying the course, busting a gut, following this path, whatever you want to call it. Also, I continue to grow as a person and change for the better.

I love you with all my heart, self, even if you are just a grey-haired, wrinkly version of me!

Lest we forget, I am not the only one who has helped you become the person you are today. Thank the others who have shared the joys and problems with you. Where would you be without Dad? Yes, you remember him. He backed you to the hilt when no-one else would. He was not perfect, but he always made sure you were OK in every way.

Mum brought you into this world and has been there from year one.

She did everything for you in the most selfless ways. She sacrificed herself for you in ways you and I will never know. These two people made me who I am now, so I am building on the foundation that they set to make you. I hope they can be proud of us, and I am sure that you feel the same way.

And what about our spouse? Look at our colossal spouse right now. I made some terrible mistakes with this incredibly important person, and still, we did not get divorced. Yes, our spouse is not a saint either, and I, too, had to forgive things that were not acceptable. What happened between our spouse and us no longer matters, neither in my time nor yours.

Some will think we sailed through this life of ours. Naturally, you and I know different, and that is what counts.

Self, the roller coaster has taken us in many different directions, making us dizzy with various emotions attached.

It did not come easy at all; those forehead wrinkles are a testament to that. However, because you are reading this now, you know that we made it happen. And by that, I mean this life of ours. I want you to be proud of my accomplishments and hope that you have learned from my mistakes. Just be smart about things, and be firm in your decisions. Remember to have conviction with your words and actions and apologize for any errors you cause. Most importantly, know in our hearts, that I will always believe in you.

Also, I want you to enjoy these days, months, and years that you have in front of you, just as I planned. As Ralph Waldo Emerson put it quite poignantly,

“Most of the shadows in this life are caused by standing in one’s own sunshine.”

Be thankful for nature, for history, for your team winning for a change, for the sunshine on your face, for another day at the office, for the people in the past who did not make it this far for whatever reason, for the freedoms you enjoy, for great food and drink, for those crazy but sincere friends, for family, for all the experiences and lessons you encountered.

Be grateful for life and all the blessings it brings to you!

With love always to my future self,

Someone You Used To Be

10 Ways To Deal With An Angry Partner

April 19, 2020 by Power of Positivity

One of the most destructive human emotions is anger. No matter what you do, you cannot reason with an angry person because they are controlled by emotions instead of logic during that moment. As the person on the receiving end, you might be tempted to respond with anger, but that will only make things worse.

So what do you do? First, be very calm and try to control your emotions, especially if you love that person.

Then, follow these anger management strategies:

1. Be Patient and Don’t Say Anything that Might Fuel your Partner’s Anger

It’s always best to allow your partner to be angry and let it all out. Don’t try to confront them because that will only make them defensive. Instead, listen to everything that they have to say and remain composed as you do so. Your partner’s anger is more likely to subside if they see that you are calm.

2. Make Your Point Known in A Respectful Manner

There are always two sides to every story, and once your partner has finished venting, try to make your partner understand your point in an assertive and respective manner – don’t shout at them or raise your voice. This way, they can also take responsibility for their actions.

3. Make the Communication Constructive

Even as you try to assertively make your point, make sure that the communication is constructive. By constructive, I mean two-sided. In anger management, you should acknowledge your partner’s point of view even if you don’t agree with them. This way, they will know that you were listening, and they’ll be more willing to hear your point of view.

4. Compassion

Anger may be your partner’s way of expressing his or her fears and pain. Although they may not admit it, anger creates a mask that makes them feel powerful and less scared. Out of all the anger management tips, compassion is the best way to handle this situation. Showing love to your partner lets them know that you’ll always be there despite their inner worries.

5. Practice Restraint

If you know that your partner is someone that easily gets angry, you should avoid discussing certain sensitive topics with them. No matter how passionate you are about that subject, sometimes it’s just best to put your partner’s needs before yours and avoid the topic altogether.

6. Know Yourself

Apart from avoiding certain topics, anger management demands that you know yourself. Does your behavior influence your partner’s anger in any way? Find out if there are behaviors that your partner doesn’t like and try to rectify them.

7. Talk When You Are Both Calm

Perhaps you also get angry easily, and you end up fighting with your partner for hours. If that is the case, step aside and allow yourself to calm down. Ask yourself if the anger is worth it. After you calm down, wait for your partner to do the same before you approach them to talk things out.

8. Don’t Try to Control Your Partner

Anger management is about influence, not control. If your partner disagrees with you about a certain point and they get angry, don’t try to change them. Instead, try to explain to them the advantages of your point of view. Be sweet and welcoming as you do this; that way it becomes easy to convince them to support your opinion.

9. Mind Your Location

Anger management is also influenced by the location. If you find yourselves arguing in an open place such as the parking lot or an arena, be the responsible one and move your partner to a closed location such as a restaurant or a grocery store. Your partner will calm down since people are less likely to misbehave in such places because they don’t want to be embarrassed.

10. Timeout

If the argument goes on and on, and you don’t seem to find a common ground, it may be time to call a timeout and resume the conversation another time. There’s no point entertaining a conversation that goes nowhere. You are better off doing something more productive with that time.

Conclusion

In case you’ve been wondering how to deal with your angry partner, you can use the above anger management tips to handle the situation better and make your relationship last longer.

Life Goes On (think positive)

April 18, 2020 by Power of Positivity

Depending upon how old you are, how fast-paced your life is, or even the number of events that have occurred, you may feel as if you have lived several lifetimes and several different lives. You look back at yourself through various stages and barely recognize the old you.

We tend to break up our timelines based on major changes or shifts in our lives. When we look back, we see the triggers that created tremendous change in our lives and in our selves. Those triggers may have been events that happened around us or to us, either as a result of a decision we made or a random coincidence that occurred.

The events at the time may have felt like the bowels of hell were a better alternative or like an entirely new world had embraced you and sprinkled you with fairy dust. Time takes on a life of its own in the aftermath of such events. It may fly by like a hawk chasing a mouse or perhaps move slowly, sludging through the thickest mud. No matter what it felt like, time was still moving forward. Life goes on, and so do you.

Life Goes On: Think Positive During Challenging Days

When we first think of the phrase, “Life goes on,” we might remember those words given upon the passing of a loved one. This is somehow meant to encourage us to keep living despite the pain of losing someone. It acts as a reminder that time doesn’t stand still for anyone and it will continue to pass despite you sometimes wishing time itself could just stop. You want life to stop to give you time to process what has just happened, how you feel, how it affects you, and how everything will be different from here on.

I once attended a seminar regarding the subconscious. As part of the seminar, one of us was chosen from the audience and asked to sit in a chair on the stage. We were to think of an event that happened within the last 6 months. Then, we were asked to close our eyes and imagine wherein our mind’s eye that event occurred. Next, we were to hold out our hand and put it either in front of us, to the left or right, above or below. The location depended upon our personal view of where time was stored in our minds.

Then we were to position the hand approximately the distance away from us that we felt the event occurred, as if a dot on a timeline. After that, we were to imagine an event from several years ago. Once again, we were to reach our hand out to that invisible timeline. Logic would dictate that the event from 6 months ago would be closer to us than our far past right? That was not always the case. If many events had occurred in the last 6 months, it may still be positioned far away from us. Conversely, if we still dwell on our past of several years ago, we may position it closer to ourselves.

Memories and Emotions

I found it very interesting and telling how our subconscious retains memories in relation to the emotional impact and relativity to our current lives. In other words, we essentially slow time down when we are deeply affected by something in our lives. Life around us has gone on, but we slowed our own timeline and stopped moving with it.

Of course, the reverse is also true. We can speed up our timeline by embracing events and changes in our lives, making even relatively recent events appear to have happened long ago.

Why is this important? It goes to show the importance of staying in life as much as possible. Time will drag if we stay in the past and we do not necessarily benefit from that. When we alter our perception of time, we also alter our perception of reality. If life stopped for you 10 years ago after the death of a loved one, then everything around you is still based on your knowledge, feelings, and beliefs from 10 years ago. Information, people, events, and the world have moved 10 years ahead of you.

People are meant to move forward with time – to grow, change, and experience life.

Embracing changes in life

Unfortunately, the brain is averse to change. Every time you feel uncomfortable about something new, that is your brain thinking it needs to protect you from something it does not know, which also means that once you do that “unknown” action repeatedly, your brain learns it is safe and will stop giving you that uncomfortable feeling. This is why you can even become comfortable with negative circumstances that might currently make you feel miserable.

How can we learn to embrace change so our life can go on in a happy, healthy way?

1. Recognize when your brain is telling you something that isn’t the truth.

For example, you’ve told yourself that you want to start working out. On the day you are about to start, suddenly your brain is flooding you with a bunch of excuses. “You don’t have enough time, too many things to get done, you’re too tired, etc.”

Realistically, you can do a simple 30-minute workout and it won’t impact your day that much. As a matter of fact, it has been proven that people are more productive and have more energy on days they exercise than on days they don’t.

2. Focus on the positive in your life.

Oftentimes, we train ourselves to focus on the negatives regarding a change rather than the positives. If you have decided to eat healthier, you can choose to focus on how much you miss the cheeseburgers and fries, or you can tell yourself how much more alert you feel after eating chicken with rice and vegetables. You can tell yourself how much better your body feels having beneficial nutrition in it rather than processed ingredients.

This can also be reinforced by giving yourself something positive afterward. Every time you eat a healthy meal, you can reward yourself with $5.00 toward the new wardrobe you are going to need.

3. Self-Talk or Affirmations.

Talk nicely to yourself. Tell yourself something positive, such as, “I am going to finish this report today and it will be the best report my boss sees this month.” It’s important that you don’t word it as, “I am not going to procrastinate doing this report.” What the brain will focus on is “I am” and “procrastinate,” whereas in the first example, it will remember “I am” and “finish.”

4. Discipline your mind.

Meditation, prayer, and visualization have proven to strengthen the mind. Forcing your mind to quiet down or focus on an image or desire creates a form of self-discipline which automatically teaches your brain to look for those triggers to achieve the level of happiness you felt when you thought of them.

5. Do something a little different every day.

We mostly operate on routine. We get up, stumble to the bathroom, brush our teeth, make coffee, and sit down first thing in the morning. Change it up. Maybe get up and jump in the shower first; or start the coffee pot and then go to the bathroom. Or, take a cold shower instead of a warm one. Drive a different route to work or say hi to someone in the elevator that you don’t know instead of looking at your phone. These are small changes that allowour brains to become accustomed to that uncomfortable feeling while breaking up our mindless routine.

6. Accept the change that occurred beyond your control.

A lot of people believe they need to control everything; when something happens beyond their control, they grow distraught. They believe there must have been something they could’ve done to prevent it. That is not always true.

You cannot and should not control everything. You can’t control your friends, children, or partner, for instance. Yes, you can make them feel bad or guilt them into doing what you feel is best for them. Yet, they may still go behind your back to do it anyway.

We try to teach our children to study and do their homework. They may choose to not do it and fail a class. There was nothing more you could do. It was their decision. People are responsible for their own decisions.

Another example is if you were in a car accident. You were driving the correct speed, looking at the road without any distractions but suddenly a car darted in front of your car and you hit it. You were doing everything you could do to be a safe driver, yet it happened anyhow.

Things happen in life and there is only so much control we have. The sooner you realistically accept that fact, the faster you can move on and accept changes that occur in your life.

Final Thoughts: Think Positive, Things Will Get Better

Life goes on. Regardless of how you choose to live your life, you will be affected by people and events in your life, whether they are good or bad. The more we train our brains to not fear change, the better we go on with our own lives and experience them to the fullest.

5 Ways to Have More Control Over Your Life

April 18, 2020 by Power of Positivity

Having control over your life means making the most of your circumstances and using your strengths to your advantage. It means choosing what you give your energy to, realizing that you cannot change everything in life. You can only change yourself, so it only makes sense to look within for your answers. The more control you have over yourself, the less you will need to control situations and people outside yourself.

When most people look at the world today, they just see chaos and confusion. However, by quieting the mind and only paying attention to what matters, we can have clarity about life. By getting in tune with our highest selves, we can understand our purpose. Then, we can start to formulate a plan that aligns with our overall desire.

Most of us could probably agree that we want more control over our lives. How can we make life respond to us, instead of just happen to us? We have some powerful, life-changing tips for you below.

“Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you do have power over instead of craving control over what you don’t.” ? Steve Maraboli

Here are five ways to have more control over your life:

1 – Limit your stimuli

Our senses constantly get bombarded with stimuli from TV shows to advertisements to movies. We live in a fascinating, loud, chaotic world, and this can wreak havoc on our nervous systems. Many people today suffer from brain fog, racing thoughts, and anxiety due to so many distractions. Technology plays a massive part in this, as we have access to millions of apps, games, and information in the palm of our hands.

In this world of distractions, how can we limit our exposure to these stimuli? Here are a few tips:

Keep your phone away from you while working

Research shows that even the presence of your phone in your workspace decreases your cognitive ability. Keep your cellphone ideally in another room, or just out of your sight while you work. Limiting your distractions while working will increase your output and mental capacity.

Limit your entertainment each day

Watching hours of TV or YouTube videos can easily overload your senses and dull your thinking. Try not to view more than an hour of TV each day, so you have more mental stamina for being productive.

Take breaks in nature

If you’ve been working for a while, make sure to take breaks outside in the environment. Studies have shown that being immersed in nature can lower stress, increase attention span, and boost mood.

Practice meditation

Perhaps the most critical piece of advice in this article, studies have shown the incredible benefits of meditation. We live in a very chaotic, ever-changing world, but meditation can help you anchor your consciousness, so you stay afloat when the seas get rough. In other words, meditation allows you to become an objective observer over your experiences rather than just a victim of circumstances. It helps you weather storms rather than being tossed around by them.

You want to limit what you allow into your field of consciousness – this applies to your thoughts as well as outside stimuli. Keep your ideas simple, and you will attract this same energy back to you.

2 – Surround yourself with positive people

Did you know you can “catch” moods from people? After all, they say that we are the sum of the five people we hang around the most. It makes sense that we would pick up on the energies of those we surround ourselves with. If you want more control over your life, watch who you allow into your space.

If you want to feel more positive, only choose to surround yourself with those who match this mood. Of course, no one can remain cheery all the time, but you don’t want to hang around those who always complain or speak negatively about life. Even joining groups on Facebook or following people who never seem happy can lower your mood.

Surround yourself with people who uplift you and who want to see you become your best self. Choosing the right friends and communities will give you a sense of control over your life. By shifting your mindset to a more positive one, you will attract these types of people as well.

3 – Exercise

Most people today don’t get near enough exercise. According to the CDC, between 2010 and 2015, more than 75% of Americans didn’t get the recommended amount of weekly cardio and muscle-building training. As life moves even faster nowadays, this number has probably only increased. Physical activity releases feel-good endorphins that promote brain health and emotional balance. Not to mention, exercise improves strength, stamina, and many different health markers in the body.

Studies have shown that sitting for long periods can increase your risk of early death. Most people sit for eight hours a day at their jobs, so getting exercise before or after is vital for overall health. Even a simple walk around the block for twenty minutes or stretching in the morning before work can make a difference.

Other studies have shown that exercise can help increase your self-control, which will give you more control over your life. As we said before, the more you can control yourself, the less you’ll feel anxious or worried about things outside of you.

If you work a typical desk job or have to work at home for eight or more hours a day, make sure to get up and move regularly. On your lunch breaks, go outside and walk around for a bit after you eat. If you work at home, try to get up at least once every hour for a few minutes. This habit will make a remarkable difference in your mood and concentration levels.

4 – Stick to a routine

Humans need routines in their lives to feel stable and in control. Our minds and bodies need regularity so that we can maintain a sense of order in our lives. Primarily if you work from home, a routine will help you organize your day and keep your focus on what matters. You want to go to bed and wake up at the same time, most importantly, and cross off the hardest tasks of your day first. Make time to meditate, stretch, or do yoga in the mornings.

Also, make exercise and healthy meals a part of your routine to keep your energy high. Limit your exposure to stimuli, as we suggested above, and make time for nature. If you take care of yourself first, your life will improve exponentially, and you’ll have more control over your circumstances.

5 – Eliminate bad habits

Easier said than done, we know, but bad habits can put a damper on your life. If you always give in to what your ego wants, whether it asks for more food, alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, or entertainment, you will never get control of it. Winning the battle over the ego requires you to deny yourself immediate gratification so you can achieve long-term results.

This mindset shift goes for any goal you might have, from meditation to writing a book to starting a business. Getting control over your life often involves facing your deepest fears and weaknesses and acknowledging where you can improve. From there, try to eliminate one bad habit per week and replace them with good habits.

For example, if you have become addicted to smoking cigarettes, wean yourself off of them by replacing the cigarette with something else. Check-in with your mental state when you want a cigarette; often, stress leads us to crave substances that will relax us. You could go for a run, call up a friend, work on your goals, or cook a healthy meal instead. You just need a distraction, but a healthy one.

Apply this same logic to every harmful habit you have, and watch your life change. Tell yourself that going to the gym and eating healthy reward you while smoking and eating junk food punish you. This practice will make healthier habits easier to stick with.

Final thoughts about how to have control over your life

We all crave more control in our lives, whether in our finances, relationships, health, or jobs. Many of us just don’t know where to start to save ourselves from the messes that life brings. However, choosing to follow the advice above will help you achieve great results in this battle. If you find yourself living on autopilot and just accepting what life throws at you, stop and take a few breaths.

Think of how you could actively change your situation. Limit your stimuli, exercise, take care of your mental and emotional health, choose positive people, eliminate bad habits, and create a routine. By doing all of these things, you will tip the scales more in your favor and have more control over your life.

8 Ways Depression and Anxiety Have Actually Helped People Become Better

April 18, 2020 by Power of Positivity

The emotional pain one experiences from depression and anxiety can be severe… sometimes even debilitating. Many people have been diagnosed with both conditions (the two often accompany each other) and have experiences which are undoubtedly some of the darkest days of life.

“The strongest people are not those who show strength in front of the world, but those who fight and win battles that others do not know anything about.” – Jonathan Harnisch, The Brutal Truth

Anxiety disorders and the most common mental illness in the U.S., affecting 40 million adults in the United States age 18 and older, or 18% of the population. Nearly one-half of those diagnosed with depression are also diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. – Anxiety and Depression Association of America

But people can also benefit from the condition. Growing, becoming stronger, and learning the importance of appreciating life despite the pain.

Indeed, one can become a better, stronger person by experiencing adversity. Depression and anxiety certainly fits this description. The experience often entails pain but can bring about tremendous growth if one can learn to understand and harness the (often veiled) opportunities that the illness brings.

So, without further ado…here are 8 ways in which depression and/or anxiety has helped people become better for it:

1. More Compassionate

Going through the circle of hell that is depression and anxiety, it becomes much more natural to practice compassion and empathy. Also, the compassion and empathy that we feel for people is often much deeper.

We’re much more likely to recognize the important issue that is mental health and its impact on the world. We’re far less likely to pass judgment on someone in the event that they suffer from any illness or condition; whether it be psychological or physical.

2. More Grateful

Without a doubt, depression and anxiety have a sinister way of numbing us to those once-enjoyable activities. In fact, this ubiquitous symptom is defined by the American Psychiatric Association: “Decreased interest or pleasure in most activities, most of the day.” It is considered one of the leading signs of depression.

But some people undergoing or having undergone depression learn to appreciate those moments in life when something does go right. It’s actually much more special in some cases, especially after being stuck in “emotion-neutral.”

3. Enhanced Perspective

Depression, really, is a monster…and anxiety is the monster’s worrisome accomplice. Both conditions try to imprint the belief into a person that they’re completely and utterly alone…and in a world that would never understand them.

However, people that have become better as a result of their depression often challenge these devious and erroneous thoughts. In so doing they’ll interact with, and benefit from, the knowledge that many have been defeated, even been forged by, depression and anxiety.

This often leads to increased awareness and perspective towards the world around them.

4. Increased Confidence

While it may seem ironic, depression and anxiety can potentially increase one’s confidence. This is because, when we are depressed, it is likely we will approach situations and challenges that appear insurmountable. Of course, they often are not…but the illness won’t let us in on that.

However, when we overcome whatever monster, we can look back and realize that we’re stronger than we initially thought. We then carry this belief forward. This results in a feeling of strength breeds natural and potent confidence.

5. More Forgiving

Some people – if they know someone is mentally ill – will ignorantly attach some type of stigma to that person. The person suffering from the condition will eventually catch on, resulting in some bitter feelings.

This is all the more hurtful and damaging because the ill person, more likely than not, is already dealing with persistently dehumanizing thoughts and emotions. People who are able to forgive themselves, and the people who hurt them – all despite such challenging circumstances – are often much more forgiving people than before.

6. More Patient

Experiencing depression and anxiety brings about a certain sense of vulnerability and humility. Some of the strongest men and women in the world nearly buckle from the numerous challenges associated with both conditions.

As such, victims often come to the realization that they’re only in control of so much. We understand that the world does not necessarily care to “speed things up” for our benefit. Coming back from depression and anxiety is often a long road, so we gain patience in that respect as well.

7. Better Relationships

It’s common for people who overcome the dark days of depression and anxiety to come out with a fresh perspective, as mentioned before. One epiphany that the person often has is that cutting negativity out of their life is crucial to their happiness.

This often means cutting out the negative people from their life and replacing them with positive influences. Of course, these new relationships are much more fulfilling. Many people also gain a deeper love and appreciation for their friends and family, which leads to better relationships.

8. More Active

There is a strong correlation between physical and mental health. Physical activity provides all sorts of benefits to the brain, which experts believe can actually assist people in overcoming depression and anxiety.

Simply stated, exercise makes a person feel good. The release of endorphins – the brain’s “feel good” chemicals – assures that. It’s not uncommon for a person experiencing depression or anxiety to get hooked on working out for this very reason.

Psychology Explains 5 Causes of Jealousy (and How to Beat It)

April 18, 2020 by Power of Positivity

Jealousy is often referred to as being bitten by the “green-eyed monster” or being “green with envy.” It all goes back to Shakespearian times when the famous writer uses these phrases to describe a character in The Merchant of Venice.

Green is often used to describe this condition because it’s a color that is notated when someone is sick. For instance, the saying “Green around the gills,” means a person is under the weather. It’s no wonder that Shakespeare used such a term when dealing with such a turbulent emotion.

Jealousy is a feeling that stems from a psychological problem. Consequently, this emotional reaction affects both men and women equally. Some say that a little bit of this envious feeling is beneficial as it pushes a person to be better and strives for greater things.

Unfortunately, when this condition takes on a compulsive form, then there can be severe consequences. Many relationships have met their demise because one partner was jealous over the other one. While it’s normal to feel a twinge of jealousy when you’re in love, having too much can drive a person away.

What Causes Jealousy?

Possessiveness can be a great motivator. If you feel that your appearance isn’t as good as another coworker, then you may buy new clothes and feel encouraged to do more. The emotional reaction that is involved in a jealous nature can make you step up your involvement at work or in a relationship as well as defeat your competitor.

Some studies show that a marriage where one or both parties have some jealous nature about them form a happier union. Of course, these are ones that have healthy limits and don’t take it to the point of obsession. There is a fine line between being jealous and becoming obsessed.

Love versus infatuation plays a role in jealousy

It’s effortless to confuse being in love with someone with becoming infatuated and wanting to control their every move. When a person engages in such behaviors, it makes the other party feel like an object rather than a human being.

A behavior that is meant to bring a person closer to you can end up suffocating them and driving them into someone else’s arms. No wonder science describes jealously as a complex emotion that has feelings that range from fear of abandonment and blinding rage.

When there is distrust in a relationship, many say that insecurities in both parties cause it. You may have a lack of self-confidence because you were cheated on in the past. Or, your significant other may have displayed behaviors that have left you less than trusting.

You must learn to get beyond the mentality that you have a claim on your significant other. They don’t belong to you, and you cannot do things that will ensure they will stay in your life.

Sometimes, one person in the relationship will become jealous because they think their partner is more attractive than they deserve. They may engage in behaviors to try to keep this person or use words that come from the insecurities inside. In this situation, the person who feels less than might become obsessive and suspicious.

The main source of jealousy in any relationship is formed from both insecurity and mistrust you have within yourself. Thus, these are the primary reasons for this emotional reaction.

Five Primary Causes of Jealousy

Problems with self-image
Negative experiences with past relationships
Fear of being abandoned
Anxiety issues
Prone to develop these feelings due to personality traits

Understanding The Types of Jealousy?

Did you know that being jealous is such an issue that scientists have divided it into three distinct categories? Here are the classifications:

•Reactive

A person that is jealous of the reactive category has valid reasons for their issues. For instance, if your spouse has cheated on you once or many times in the past, then the diminishing level of trust that you have for them can fuel your jealous nature.

•Suspicious

Some partners tend to be a bit flirtatious. While you may not know of anything concrete between your spouse and another person, you may find this flirting to be suspicious to you. In many instances, nothing is going on between the other two people, and it’s your insecurities driving the issue.

•Pathological

A jealous problem that is pathological is unhealthy. This person is someone that allows negative thoughts and hallucinations to dominate their mind. A person suffering from this form of envy may become violent due to their irrational behaviors.

The distrustful issues they have will affect all aspects of their life, and it can also affect their health. They may suffer from high blood pressure, anxiety, and they can go to the brink of insanity with their delusions.

Why Obsessive Jealousy is Dangerous?

At the crux of any jealous issue is mistrust from within. A person can develop obsessive ideas for the smallest of reasons. Take, for instance, a spouse working over a couple of hours due to a meeting.

The partner may be at the office working away. However, when your partner leaves you home alone for hours, your mind may begin to distrust and ruminate over past various scenarios that make you miserable.

If you have a problem with distrust, then you may begin to think that your partner is cheating because they are working late. As these thoughts take over your mind, you may start to believe them to be accurate, even when you have no proof of such a deed.

Hours of contemplation and doubt about their whereabouts can cause you to have a different attitude and behavior towards them. All these imaginary scenarios your mind created are not founded, yet you will believe them. The first step in getting help for your jealous nature is to admit that you have a problem.

Steps Towards Healing

Did you know that your jealous nature may be hereditary? It’s true; if your mom or dad suffered from an extremely jealous personality, then they can pass those traits along to you. However, the most common reason that you have developed this suspicious demeanor is that things in your life have affected you negatively.

The mental health community believes that a jealous person has a lack of confidence in themselves that drives this envious nature. It doesn’t matter what caused the problem, as it’s reassuring to know that it can be cured. You must be aware that you suffer from jealousy, and you must be open to getting help.

You must learn how to control your jealous nature to keep it from destroying what may be a good relationship. Here are the keys to tackling this issue:

1. Identify the Source

As previously mentioned, you must identify why you are so distrustful in your partner. Do you have low self-esteem, feeling that you’re less than, or have a general mistrust in other human beings? When you have these underlying issues, then you are vulnerable, and it will drive your fear of being abandoned.

You may find it helpful to make a list of the things that bother you in your relationship. Remember, you must separate reality from imagination. The key is to be able to determine what is driven by fear and what is driven by action.

2. Boost Your Self-Confidence

You must remember your self-worth even when faced with someone who makes you feel that you’re less than them. You have good qualities, and you should never compare yourself to someone else.

If you find yourself constantly comparing yourself to others, then sit down and make a list of all your attributes. Chances are, you will find out some pretty amazing things about yourself you didn’t even realize. Why not list all the reasons that your partner chose you in the first place?

3. Look at Past Relationships

You should start by evaluating your previous relationships. Were you jealous of other lovers? Did you find yourself having the same issues in previous relationships that you have now?

If you find that this is an ongoing issue, then you need to get professional help for this problem. Having a jealousy issue doesn’t usually go away on its own, and it can magnify and become an obsession. With a good therapist and a great deal of work, you can overcome this problem.

You mustn’t play the blame game. If you didn’t have issues with jealousy previously, then you must determine what it is about your current relationship that is sparking these feelings? It’s time to have an open and honest conversation with your partner about the things in your relationship that make you feel uneasy.

Final Thoughts: Stopping the Vicious Cycle of Jealousy

Lastly, when it comes to a jealous nature, you must remember that any suspicions or obsessions you have will only be amplified if you continually repeat them. Stop ruminating on things that you have no proof of and avoid repetitive thought processes of something that doesn’t even exist. You can and will get through this if you are determined not to let jealousy ruin your life.

How a Lack of Sleep Weakens Your Immune System as Much as Stress

April 18, 2020 by Power of Positivity

Your body needs sleep to function correctly. Studies show that a person can go 11 days without rest, but the signs of the lack of sleep will begin to show after three or four days. Without rest, your mind and body will start to shut down.

The lack of sleep can cause things like hallucinations and paranoia, but thankfully the symptoms resolve once a person gets to rest. How much sleep does a person need? Well, adults between the ages of 18-60 should get about seven hours each night. Infants need almost double the amount of sleep as their parents, with an average of around 10-13 hours a night.

Sleep is so important because your body is busy repairing and building your immunity to thrive. Your damaged tissues and cells are being healed and restored. If you don’t get the right amount of sleep, then you are more susceptible to disease and infections.

Overcoming Lack of Sleep Should Be A Priority

Do you use your sleep as a bargain time for you to do extra things? For instance, do you think that you can shave off two hours here or there so you can make time for friends and family? Your sleep time should be non-negotiable.

Your body requires about 49 hours each week to thrive. If you get 40 hours instead of what you need, you are sleep deprived. While you may not feel the effects immediately, it’s affecting your immune system.

You may start getting sick more, and you may find that your overall health begins to deteriorate. The Center for Disease and Control found that about one-third of the population is working on less than adequate sleep each day. No wonder there are so many mental and physical problems in the world as their body can’t repair, restore, and revive each day.

Restoring Immunity with T Cells

Different cellular parts make up the immune system. T cells are a vital part of this essential network. These cells are very resistant in their battle to fight intracellular pathogens, which keep you safe.

Research shows that T cells can battle against the flu or things as deadly as cancer. They could be the very thing that stops you from getting sick even though everyone in the household is ill. A recent study was conducted on the effects that a lack of sleep has on these vital cells.

The study found that during your hours of rest, theses T cells kick into overdrive, helping your immune system to boost its defense. Part of their efforts is made during sleep because your stress hormones are at their lowest during this time. Since stress prohibits these cells from properly fighting your immunity, it halts the T cells from doing their job.

When your body has a cell that is virally infected, your system will activate integrins to fight against the foreign pathogens. These integrins are similar to that of a sticky protein that will attach itself to the bad cells to destroy them. The study compared the difference between people who got adequate amounts of sleep versus those who had insufficient levels.

Here’s what happened when participants got plenty of sleep versus those who suffered a lack of sleep

The participants that got sufficient amounts of sleep found that they had a higher level of T cell formation along with integrin activation. The people who were lacking in sleep saw disturbing low levels of these innate cells. When a person doesn’t have enough sleep, and they deal with stressful situations, it hurts their immune system because it cannot function properly.

Thus, a conclusion that states that a lack of sleep can make you sick is verified. Your body is building its defense system when you sleep at rest. It’s not a process that can happen quickly as it needs several hours to complete.

When you lack sleep, it does more than just halt the production of T cells. Many severely underestimate the importance of getting enough rest. If you don’t get at least seven hours each night regularly, then you are allowing the formation of a hostile environment inside your body.

Sleep is a natural state that your body needs to maintain proper health. When you’re not getting adequate levels of rest, then your body creates unusual amounts of stress hormones, which has adverse effects on your entire system. Adrenaline is one of the stress hormones that cause the most damage as it puts the body into a constant state of flight-or-fight.

Understandably, your sleeping habits will change as you age. You may awake from rest, feeling groggy, or struggling to wake. Some older folks can go on five hours of sleep and feel it’s enough. However, these feelings are deceptive.

A person who consecutively gets less than the required amount of sleep for three days in a row equates to someone who has missed an entire night of rest. Studies have proven that those who get an average of five to six hours per night have a higher mortality rate than those who get more rest.

The Long-term Effects of Poor Sleep Habits

When you have insomnia, chronic sleep deprivation can give you both long- and short-term health problems. The short-term consequences of poor sleep may cause:

•Anxiety
•Mood Fluctuations
•Forgetfulness
•Poor Judgment
•Errors at Work
•Car Accidents
•Relationship Issues

When you have chronic sleeping issues that impair your ability to function well, then it becomes dangerous. Your body needs sleep, and if it doesn’t get adequate rest, then it builds a sleep deficit. The deficiency can cause problems with the following things:

•Inflammatory Conditions
•Increase in Blood Pressure
•High Levels of Cortisol
•Weight Gain
•Heart Disease
•Insulin Resistance
•Blood Sugar Regulation Issues

Is There a Correlation Between Heart Disease and Sleeplessness?

A study was conducted about the effects of sleep on heart disease. They used mice for the study. The goal was to find if there were any changes in the heart when the animal received proper amounts of rest or inadequate amounts. They investigated things like bone marrow, blood vessels, as well as brain function.

When the mice had adequate amounts of sleep, the mechanisms that protected the hardening of the arteries engaged and helped to keep disease at bay.

However, the mice the didn’t’ get enough sleep were prone to heart disease. The link between adequate sleep and good cardiovascular health is not fully understood and needs more research, but it’s a promising lead to show how to improve heart health.

What Might Be Causing Your Lack of Sleep?

Why do so many people resist getting a good night’s rest when they know their body needs it? Sleeplessness is often caused because a person’s priorities are not inline. Most of the reasons why people don’t get adequate sleep are voluntarily brought on.

1 – Poor bedtime habits

It’s essential to set the right mood for rest. For instance, your bedroom should be cold and dark. You should avoid having distractions such as televisions, computers, electronics, and other technological devices. Even an alarm clock that is too bright can disrupt your REM sleep.

2 – Allowing pets in the bed

While you may enjoy having Fido sleep with you, pets can be a significant cause of a miserable night’s rest. They can hog the bed and mess with your blankets, making sleeplessness a real issue. If you have a spouse that has a snoring problem, then it also needs to be addressed.

3 – Undiagnosed sleep disorders

Many people have undiagnosed sleep apnea that can be deadly if not treated. Additionally, you may have a snoring problem. You may need to go to the bathroom during the night. These are things that you can’t control, but you can get help for them.

4 – Vitamin or mineral deficiency

Insomnia happens for many reasons. If you cannot get the right amount of sleep, no matter what you try, then you need to see your doctor. Essential oils and natural supplements like melatonin can help to increase your sleep time without nasty side effects. Still, you need to make sure there is no underlying condition contributing to your lack of sleep.

5 – Consumption of too much caffeine

Another thing that you need to be cautious of is your caffeine consumption. Caffeine is a stimulant that increases the heart rate. According to one study, too much coffee or other caffeinated beverages can keep you up well into the night. It’s not that your body doesn’t want to rest, but the stimulant is prohibiting you from entering that state of slumber.

6 – Not getting sufficient exercise

Keep in mind that if you have a hard time going to sleep, you need to start a nightly routine. New research debunks the myth that you should avoid working out before bedtime. Exercise can be an excellent way to end your day, and it’s shown to promote healthy sleep. The bottom line is good sleep is a priority that you must make in your life, and it’s not something that you can use as a bargaining chip.

Final Thoughts: Your Lack of Sleep Could Affect Your Entire Body

What starts as a few hours missed here or there could turn into a severe issue. If you’re having problems getting sufficient rest, then you must take preventative measures to correct it.

When you don’t get sufficient amounts of rest, you are putting your immunity in a volatile position. Those with weakened immune systems are more susceptible to sickness and disease than those who have excellent resistance.
