1. Your Sense Of Smell And Sounds

When there is a certain kind of smell or sound that’s happening to us while we are sleeping, our brains like to interpret those senses into the dreams you’re having.

For example, a study that was conducted on people who were sleeping played music for one group and none for the others.

A certain kind of amino acid called tryptophan can actually normalize your sleep and even helps reduce stress levels.

Opening up to spirituality is one of the best things for your overall physical health and well-being. Also, you will notice magical things happening in your life.

While it’s easy to see what you gain from harnessing your inner god or goddess, what you lose is as important, if not more so. In this article, we want to discuss the things that are shed when one is awakened spiritually. These are all natural feelings, and we shouldn’t expect to never experience them again, just that we not are equipped with the tools to better handle them.

Don’t think that just because you are a more enlightened version of yourself, the road has ended for you. We all have a life to live, experiences to gain, and a destiny to be had. We will experience trials, but here are six feelings you’ll experience a lot less.

Anger

With the unfortunate truth that is some people just cannot find any means to be positive whatsoever, do not despair. Your positivism is more than valid when it comes to these circumstances. Even if it’s a negative family member or friend, there’s a lot to take into consideration as to how you want to live your life with that person or people.

Here are 6 reminders on how you can stay positive even around excessively negative people.

1. Only You Can Make You Happy

The biggest reminder when it comes to negative people is that only you can make you happy. This means that regardless of what anything that anyone says to you, that you are the voice of reason within your own head.

You decide on what makes you happy and what makes you sad. No other person can make you feel this way but yourself.

So the next time someone says something terrible to you, just remember that their opinion has no validation unless you want it to.

2. Focus On Yourself

When dealing with negative people, sometimes you must refocus your thoughts and actions all on you. Don’t do anything for the other person that is making you feel miserable. You matter most when it comes to your happiness and don’t deserve to be treated in such a way that makes you feel less than who you are. Continue reading →
